London, May" 24. Divorces are in
creasing at a great here, and so, too j
according to Judge Darling, are the j
"shyster methods" as they are some
times termed in America, whereby
some divorces are obtained. Judge
Darling is one of the veterans of the
bench who has recently had to tackle
divorce eases, in addition to his regu
lar judicial work, in order to cope with
the growing demand for the untying
of nuptial knots.
"We know perfectly well that an
enormous proportion of the undefend
ed cases in the divorce court are mere
ly collusive," said Judge Darling.
"Men know as well as I do that those
letters 'my dear Billy, do return to
your loving Kitty' are eomposediu
solicitors offices. Everybody knows
it, only it is presumed that the judge
in the divorce court does not. Of
course he does.
"Judges who had retired are drag
ged back instead of being able to en
joy their old age in comfort because"
there are not enough judges to deal
with these cases. And what wonder
when people can come into the divorce
court and. treat it in this fashion?

est, and to regard bigness in business

Empha sizing the fundamental im
portance of agriculture, the President
asserted that the farmer was entitled
to ' ' all the help the government cau
give him without injustice to others."
For the wage-earner he asked suffi
cient compensation for comfort, educa
tion and a margin of savings, while
for every other element in industry
he urged a fair opportunity to do its
part in the reconstruction task.
Mr. Harding also suggested that
the nation's loans to the Allies be put
into a more tangible form, that facil
ities of exchange be bettered, and that
in all the financial policies of the re
contsruction period be so formulated
as to protect the old standard.
