Marriage Making And
Breaking Grow Less
During ‘Hard Times’
Washington.— Hard times hit both
the marriage and divorce markets
last year, leaving a trail of loun, lorn
figures at the census bureau.
Of 40 states on which the figures
is furnished, 33 showed decreases in
marriage and 30 showed decreases in
divorce.
Miss Alice V. Hagan, who for five
years has written the annual census
bureau study on marriage and di
vorce, ascribed the decreases to the
fact that getting married and getting
divorced costs money.
“It is well-known that the mar
riage rate responded quickly to
changes in economic# conditions, in
creasing after a commercial crisis or
during hard times,” he said.
As for divorce, Miss Hagan wrote
to officials of all counties where the
rate had fallen as much as 10 per
cent asking an analysis of the cause.
A large majority of the replies,
she reported, laid the lack of divor
ces at the door of the depression.
Aside from a few flourishing
Gretna Greens, and a scattering of
divorce havens, there is little likeli
hood of a rise in the rate of link
ings and partings before 1932, Miss
Hagan predicts.
Reno, Nevada, of course, is on the
up-grade, marrying as merrily as it
separates. California's law requir
ing preposting cf marriage intent
sends the couples to Reno.
And the six-week divorce law al
ready has ground out such a grist
that Reno has written the census
bureau for more form cards to re
cord divorces.
Of the seven states in which mar
riage managed to show an increase
in the 1930 slump, a majority were
especially blest, like Reno, in being
adjacent to a state in which couples
had to wait on marriage law time
limit requirements. The states show
ing increase were: Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Maine,
Nebraska and Virginia.

Georgia May Lead World
In Production Of Peanuts

lead the world in peanut production
for 1931, according to H. H. I’ayne,
general manager of Georgia Food

W. & A. MEASURE INTRODUCED
Atlanta. — Discount of the rentals
of the state-owned Western & At
lantic Railroad for a period of . ten
years to relieve the state’s financial
difficulties was sought in a bill in
troduced in the House of Represen
tatives.
The measure was put in by Rep-
presentatives Allen of Baldwirt, and
Battle of Muscogee, and is virtually
identical with the bill passed at the
extra session and vetoed by Govern

It was estimated that the bill
would produce about $5,300,000 to
be distributed among the education
al, eleemosynary institutions and to
pay past-due balances of appropri
ations. The common school system
would share in the distribution.
