THE DIVORCE RECORD
i LOOKS VERY BAD
Washington,*1). d., 'Feb.' iH-1!
The most complete abstract ev
er prepared of any federal decen
nial census was issued today by
E. Dana Durand, director of the
census, it contains a mass of di
gested material relating to al
most every important economic,
political and social i'|uesl ion con- i
fronting the people.
For the first lime the census
bureau presents statistics of mar- [
il.al relations, with comprehensive j
figures concerning divorce. The .
number of divorced persons in the
f oiled Slates when (he census]
was taken in I!*Id was 15(5,17(1
men and 185,lot women_Ihree
per cent of the total male popu
lation and four per cent of ihe
total female population. There
were 99 5 boys and 3,715 girls less
than 15 years old who were di. i
vorceil. |
In a noie it is explained I he !
number of divorced persons re-!
ported falls short of the total liv
ing persons who have been di- I
Forced, as many divorced per-]
sons have been remarried.. It is i
said also that it seems practically ]
cert a in I lie ret urns as to the
number of divorced persons not i
remarried are below I he I rue to
tal.

AMBASSADORS WITH

London, l'eb. 21 .--The weekly j
journal, The Bystander, in a par- •
ugraph headed “Diplomatic Pan- .
jandrums,” discussing the real i
value of ambassadors, says: “At
least we still pay our ambassa
dors as if we believed in them.
America, nf late years anyway,
has made no such attempt l<>
k ep up this legend nf an inspir
ed hierarchy, ll goes In the oth
er extreme, and frankly gives I lie
big posts lo men who have no
connection with diplomacy, hot
have money enough lo make a
real splash."
After saving llial Dorrhcsler
House cost the late Whileluvv Reid
sia.mm a year, while his salary
was s| Latin, and referring lo the
difficulty of tin* lnited Stales in
finding' a suitable man wit 11 both
money and brains in sufficient
proportion for the vacant post in
London, 'I he Bystander asks why
tin; choice slomld be reslrieled
in Ibis way. adding:
"Why not find a more modest
residence in Bloomsbury. very
eenlral, and bandy for American
visitors in London, and, doing
things on a less ostentatious
scale, n|H'il the field lo all the I a I -
oil! of I lie I 'nil ed SI ales."

Ader's friends, believing bis
reference lo suicide was only a
jest, spent a merry evening. Af
ter dinner Ader produced a re
volver and said lie had no cart

the weapon to his forehead, blew
out his brains.
