Mrs William Wallace Garr of Richmond Ind was recently elected as the
first president of the Associated Clubs of Domestic Science which was formed
to carry on a campaign all over the United States against impure foods and
bad cooking Mrs Garr believes that- the people can be educated up to a
higher standard of living with the aid of expert lecturers whom the new so
ciety will employ She intends to direct the campaign so as not to interfere
with any other organizations which are at present engaged in the work and
will seek to co operate with them Mrs Garr has for some time been an ac
tive worker in the cause of domestic science

CENSUS BUREAU SHOWS NEARLY
A MILLION IN TWENTY YEARS
Gaining About Three Times as Fast as
Population Desertion and Drink
Leading Causes Raise in
Marriage Rate
Washington Divorce and marriage
statistics for 20 years from 1887 to
1906 inclusive are embodied in a com
pilation just completed by the United
States census bureau
The report is the second of its kind
Issued under federal authority and
embodies the results of its predeces
sor beside presenting new and more
recent data
The total number of marriages re
corded during the 20 years from 1SS7
to 190G inclusive was 12832044 The
number annually reported increased
from 483069 in the year 1887 to 853
290 in the year 1906
The marriage rate in the United
States in the year 1900 was 93 per 10
000 population
The total number of divorces re
ported for the 20 years 1887 to 1906
Inclusive was 945625 For the earlier
investigation covering the 20 years
1867 to 1886 inclusive thnumber re
ported was 328716 or hardly more
than one third of the number recorded
in the second 20 years At the begin
ning of the 40 year period covered by
the two investigations divorces oc
curred at the rate of 10000 a year at
the end of that period the annual num
ber was about 66000 This increase
however must be considered in con
nection with increase in population
An increase of 30 per cent in popu
lation Tietween the years 1870 to 1880
was accompanied by an increase of 79
per cent in the number of divorces
granted In the next decade 1880 to
1890 the population increased 25 per
cent and divorces 70 per cent and in
the following decade 1S90 to 1900 an
increase of 21 per cent in population
was accompanied by an increase of 66
per cent in the number of divorces
In the six years from 1900 to 1906
population as estimated increased
105 per cent and divorces 293 per
cent
It thus appears that at the end of
the 40 year period divorces were in
creasing about three times as fast as
population while in the first decade
1870 to 1880 they increased only
about two and two thirds as fast
The divorce rate per 100000 popula
tion increased from 29 in 1870 to 82 in
1905 In the former year there was
one divorce for every 3441 persons
and In th latter year one for every
1218 Since it is only married people
who can become divorced a more sig
nificant divorce rate is that which is
based not upon total population but
upon the total married population
The rate per 100000 married popula
tion was 81 In the year 1870 and 200 in
the year 1900 This comparison indi
cates that divorce is at the present
two and one half times as common
compared with married population as
it was 40 years ago A divorce rate
of 200 per 100000 married population
is equivalent to two per 1000 married
population Assuming that 1000
married people represent 500 married
couples It follows that In each year
VORCE
four married couples out of every
1000 secure a divorce
This does not mean that only four
marriages out of 1000 are terminated
by divorce The rate it will be noted
is an annual rate continuously oper
ative and comes far short of measur
ing the probability of ultimate divorce
The available data indicate however
that not less than one marriage in 12
is ultimately terminated by divorce
Divorce rates appear to be much
higher in the United States than in
any of the foreign countries for which
statistics relating to this subject have
been obtained
The most common single ground for
divorce is desertion This accounts
for 389 per cent of all divorces
period 18S7 to 1906 494 per cent
or almost one half of those granted to
the husband and 335 per cent or
one third of those granted to the
wife
Drunkenness was the ground for
divorce in 53 per cent of the cases in
which the wife brought suit and in
11 per cent of the cases in which
the suit was brought by the husband
Of the divorced couples known to
have been married in the United
States 885 per cent were married
in the same state in which they were
divorced and 215 per cent in other
states
Legal to Pick Hubbys Pockets
Washington It is legal for a wom
an to take money from her husbands
pockets while he sleeps It has been
so decided by Judge Mullowny of the
Washington police court
It shows the interest the woman
has in you he said to George
way who complained that his wife
took liberties with his pockets as he
slept It shows that she loves you
A woman who does not go through the
pockets of her husband does not love
him

AEROPLANE PIONEER
KANSAS CITY MAN SHOWED PRIN
CIPLE BACK IN 1870
Frank Barnett Entered a Machine for
Mechanical Flight at the Iowa
State Fair Thirty Eight
Years Ago
Kansas City Mo In the fall of
1870 Frank Barnett of Kansas City
according to a memorandum still In
his possession entered at the Iowa
state fair in Keokuk for exhibition
tomatoes cabbage onions and a ma
chine for mechanical flight
In the 38 years that have passed
since Mr Barnett has not lost his in
terest in aeronautics For the last 15
years he has made his home in Kan
sas City and from time to time has
continued his experiments with mod
els of box kites and aeroplanes
Barring the light high power en
gines of to day Mr Barnett said
and the use of greatly improved
materials my first machine was the
forerunner of the present day aero
plane and demonstrated1 the same
principles Eleven years ago I con
structed an aeroplane of the same gen
eral type as that with which the
Wright brothers have attained such
success and a description of it with
cuts was printed October 17 1897
Mi Barnett produced a copy of a
newspaper of that date and pointed
the article
You will see that I stated at that
time the principle that is now uni
versally recognized namely that fly
ing through the air is a matter of
projection Project an object through
the air and it will continue in motion
until it is overcome by some natural
law like gravity or friction
My theory in overcoming friction
has been that the heavier-than-air ob
ject must be pulled as well as pro
pelled and for that purpose my mod
els were fitted with a front propeller
to throw the air away arid lessen the
resistance Now as for gravity it is
easily demonstrated that a single
horse power will sustain 200 pounds
in the air
In my early experiments I did not
have the advantage of light weight en
gines but to day when energy can be
stored without greatly increasing the
weight to be carried the problem of
offsetting gravity has been greatly
simplified
The Wrights are on the right track
and their success is very pleasing to
me With greater means at their dis
posal than I had and undoubtedly
with greater mechanical ability they
have carried to successful demonstra
tion the principle I contended for 40
years ago
BOMB IN CHURCH CELLAR
Caused BFg Excitement But Was
Merely Pocket Electric Light
Philadelphia Look out Hes got
a bomb This was the cry that
greeted Patrick Morris as he ran
through the streets uptown with a
mysterious looking box under his arm
Men women and children gave him a
wide berth as lie sped toward the
Tenth district police station at Front
and Master streets And a number of
policemen looked the other way as he
passed them House Sergt Lins
dropped his pipe and two policemen
fell off their chairs as Morris dashed
in and gasped Its a bomb He
laid it on the desk and retreated to
the door
For a few minutes the policemen
looked at the infernal machine without
moving The bomb throwing and the
firebugs crusade were fresh in their
minds Finally the cops approached it
cautiously while a crowd outside at
a safe distance waited to see the sta
tion house go up in the air
Sergt Lins finally approached to
within three feet of the box Then his
courage returned He pulled out his
penknife and gently lifted the lid
while the cops squeezed in behind the
doors
Very gingerly Lins put his hand in
the box and pulled out a long cylindri
cal black object It was a pocket elec
tric light
Morris then re entered the station
house He is janitor of the Immaculate
Conception church Front and Master
streets and found the lisht on the cel
lar floor when he went to fix the fires
It had evidently been dropped by a
workman who was repairing pipes in
the cellar
