Two thirds of the aggregate popu lation of the ten leading cities of the United States is of foreign stock. Ap proximately one-fifth of the popula tion of Chicago and New York and only about a third of the population of Boston are of native white ances try. > In Japan nothing is easier than di vorce, which takes place by the tual consent of the man and womai.
