Throughout World Puzzles
Experts.
Washington.?More than 1,000.000
marriages will be the record of 1921
In the United States, establishing a
new high mark, according to indications
In reports received by government
bureaus. The number may go
as high as 1,500,000 by December 31.
Mutrimoniul records have been broken
in all civilized countries in the last
few months, even taking into consideration
the war period, when young
men and women rushed to the altar
In numbers never known before.
The rush throughout the world is
puzzling officials, statesmen and social
workers. Because of world-wide business
depression and high prices the
marriage rates should descend, it is
assumed.
400,000 Weddings In England.
In England 400,000 couples entered
the wedded state last year, according
to latest and reliable reports, an Increase
of almost 100,000 over the previous
year. In France and Italy also
new records are being set up. Only in
Germany Is marriage increasing at a
rate that is not regarded as astonishing.
At the same time the number of applications
for divorce also is showing
a big Increase In most countries coinpared
with the prewar period. Tills
Is attributed to the inability of war
marriages to survive. Although no
new reports on divorce in the United
Btates are yet available, it Is known
the number of separations is much
larger than bef/ore the war.

In Germany divorce Is frowned on

Washington, D. C.?More than $150,*

next few months for road construction
and repairs on more than 7,000
miles of highways as a result of Joint
contributions by. state and federal

With a nationwide surplus of labor
and falling prices for materials, road

t'.ny lake are on the Island.
It Is said deer are easily tamed,
and In woodlands will thrive and multiply.
In live years one doe will prog
duce 25 deer. They eat all kinds oi
9 vegetation, nuts, lily-pads, fuller
f leaves, lichens and moss. If pasture

Elk are more hardy than deer and

More than 200,000 workers can be
given Jobs during the next 12 months
In highway construction. Labor constitutes
about 50 per cent of the cost
of road building, exclusive of muterluls.
Cumpulgns to stir public officials
to the necessity of undertaking road
work now and next spring are being
staged In many localities by chambers
of commerce, automobile associations,
farmers organizations and civic groups.
Highway construction undertaken now
Is in line, it is pointed out, with the
recommendations of the national
conference on unemployment, which
urged the building ofv as many miles
now as possible to afford work for the
Jobless.
The permanent cbmmlsslon on economic
readjustment left In Washington
to carry out the recommendations
of the national conference is
keeping In touch with' the road campaigns
In many sections.
Congress has measures before It calling
for contributions of $75,000,000 to
states for road work, to be available
where 6tate and local governments appropriate
like sums. As a matter of
practice the money now supplied by
the federal government constitutes
only 42 per cent of the total spent
although It Is popularly believed that

ment dollar for dollar.
Road building costs now are cheaper
?than at any time since 1914, and about
20 per cent below the maximum figures
of 1920. The average cost ot
highway construction In the United
States last year was 521,000 a mile
For some kinds of road the cost was
$40,000.
More than 27,000 miles of new highway
have been constructed In the lasl
three years under the federal appropriation
of $260,000,000, made In 1910
Approximately $100,000,000 worth ol
road contracts were let this year, providing
for construction of nearly 5,00(
miles. Approximately $68,000,000 ol
the federal fund Is still avalluble foi
