Washington, D. C.—In ths United

proximately a ratio of one divorce to

The estimate of this ratio was mads

ily rising divorce rate, accompanied
by a decline in marriages.
Divorces granted during the year
numbered 162,037, an Increase of 11,-
184, pr 6.2 per cent above the previous
high year, which was 1926. Marriages
for 1927 numbered 1,200,«94. or 1880
less than in 1926. The number of m ar
riages was 10.12 per 1000 of popula

work of the session—the appropriation
bills authorising the funds necessary
to run the government during the ah
preaching fiscal year.
In two weeks the house baa passed
