Rising Tide of Divorce Alarms Nation’s Leaders I S THE family unit In the Home Towns of America on the way out? The answer to this question has economists, government and busi ness leaders, and religious leaders here in a state of alarm, as well it might. For the family unit, bound together by ties of love, by religion, by patriotism and the pride of com munity and country, has been and still is the foundation and backbone upon which we have built this re public. And family units are break ing up at an alarming rate. Look about you in your own com munity. You will find that, on the average, one out of four marriages are ending up in the divorce courts, and the trend is upward. In 1946, for instance, there were more than 2,300,000 marriages and more than 600,000 divorces, or a ra tio of 26.1 per cent. While the per centage of divorce to marriage gen erally has been on the upgrade steadily since 1887, government fig ures reveal today that the impact of the disruptive forces threatening the solidarity of American family life is greater in times of high Income and consumer spending than in peri ods of low income. In the depression years of 1921 and 1922 following World War I, di vorces numbered 159,580 and 148,815 respectively. In the lush years of 1938 and 1939, divorces jumped to 195,939 and 201,468 per year. Dur ing the depression years of 1932 and 1933 the divorce rate dropped to ISO,- 338 for 1932 and 165,000 for 1933. However, In the prosperous era starting in 1940, divorces skyrocket ed to 264,000, and the number of divorces and ratio to marriages have been increasing each year to the rec ord high in 1946. Debta and Divorce* Economists point to the fact that consumer spending and a spurt in individual debt totaling some six bil lion dollars were factors in the in crease of divorces last year. They also point out that the trend of per sonal debt is in marked contrast to the wartime pattern, which shows that in the three years following Pearl Harbor personal debts of the people were reduced by 6% billion dollars both by voluntary payments and as a result of credit restrictions. So the total individual debt declined from 39.4 billion dollars at the end of 1941 to 32.7 billions at the end of 1944. The reverse started in 1945 with a debt gain of one billion dol lars for the year and picked up mo mentum during 1946 so that at the end of the year the debt increase totaled 614 billion, or equalling the reduction of the three war years. Leaders in and out of government and in the religious life of all churches are alarmed over the ap parent decadence in American home life. They declare the present day situation has profound implications to the nation in the political, eco nomic and moral spheres, in view of the fact that the whole structure of American industry and government rests on the foundation of serving the needs of the American family, children as well as parents. In view of the apparent relation of divorce to economic depression and well being, and the apparent conclusion that money management in the home is one of the causes of divorce, leaders here profess to see in the constant striving for higher income, for easier and higher living standards, a cause for the break ing down of moral fibre and the breeding ground for selfishness, greed, intolerance and other indica tions of moral turpitude which even tually lead into the divorce courts. Church leaders, too, point out that in time of great prosperity there is a falling off in religious fervor and a rise in times of stress. Loss of Confidence Economists and psychologists point to a growing indifference and lack of reverence for our traditional Institutions, even for government it self—a lack of confidence and secu rity in our business, industrial, la bor and governmental leadership— and they declare that there is a vital need for a re-instillation of the ideals, the traditions and the funda mentals of our American democracy a rehabilitation of the minds and hearts of our people in the constitu tion, the bill of rights, the Declara tion of Independence. They insist that there must be a routing out of the influence of Com munistic teachings both from the religious and economic standpoint and, at the same time, there must also be the eradication of the con centration of capitalistic power and monopoly, which is equally as evil from an economic standpoint. These are all factors which lead ers here declare have a bearing, along with other influences, upon the rift in the solidarity of American family life. Without the family unit there can be no strong nation, no -wited America. WOMAN'S WORLD ' Decorate Your Closets Before Starting Spring Cleaning Improved l SUNDAY International I SCHOOL LESSON Bv HAFOLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. ^ <£rtta Male ey LESSON FOR MARCH 23 WHY not start your spring clean ing in a different way this season? And how is that done? Well, I’d start with the closets and plan to spend about a week reno vating them, and getting all the clothes and other things to be stored in ship-shape condition. Once the closets are out of the way, you can concentrate on the house. Most of us think of closets merely as places to hang and store things, and as long as they are not filled to overflowing, and are dusted oc casionally, then well and good. But wait a minute, closets can be as at tractive as other rooms, and if you give them some time and thought, they will serve their purpose better. Take for instance, shoe bags. These will prevent your shoes from being strewn on the floor where they easily accumulate dust, and once they are tucked in the pockets of the bag, which, by the way, can be hung on the door or on the back wall of the closet, you will be making in telligent use of the space at hand and leaving floor space for a small chest of drawers that can take socks, handkerchiefs and various miscellaneous pieces. Old Fabrics, Oilcloth Even Wallpaper May Be Used It is possible to buy ready-made chests, shoe bags and storage boxes of various types, but frequently it’s not possible to get them in styles, colors and sizes to solve your par ticular storage closet problem. In Brighten your closets ... that case, make your own, from old fabrics, oilcloth or plastic-treated cloth which is easily wiped off, or even wallpaper may be used as cov ering. One of the most attractive closets I’ve ever seen used a patriotic theme. The walls of the closet were covered with red and white candy- striped paper, the ceiling was cov ered with a dark blue paper sprin kled with silver stars. Dark blue sol id cloth was used for the shoe bag, and also as a covering for blanket boxes and other sized boxes usually employed for storing. It was a joy to look into the closet. Does yours look as attractive? If you already have storage chests and boxes that fit your closet, you may want to do a little face lifting by brand new covering. This is as easy as pasting paper dolls, because many of the boxes and chests may be covered with cloth or wallpaper simply glued on. Mind you, no care- With fresh accessories. less work will do the job effectively, as these are all items that need han dling. Use a large table such as you would use for cutting and sewing, and see that coverings are fitted carefully for the boxes, and then pasted or glued neatly so that no corners will give or fray. Always plan to use durable coverings as they are easier for working and give wear in the long run. Tailored or Feminine— Which Will Be Yours? > The same problem which presents itself with bedrooms is present when we consider doing our closets. Many a woman’s heart yearns after pretty-pretty things that involve rib bons, ruffles and, other frills. This is all right if it is strictly a girl’s Hipline Fashion Black and white pin dot sharkskin suit is pocketed to accentuate the rounded hipline. From Hattie Car negie’s spring collection, the suit boasts breast pocket flaps and di agonal button effect with grey braid. room, but when husband and wife share the closet, the scheme had best be tailored. Of course, even tailored things may have a bit of the feminine in them. If ruffled edging is not quite the thing to use in the closet, you can compromise and use a neatly pleated edging which will take away the bareness or plain look on shelf edges. A border of decals also may be used to relieve the plain look, or .you even may decide to use an edging cut from wallpaper if it works it self easily into the theme or pattern you are using. As to fabrics which may be used, there’s tremendous variety from which to choose. A dull-finished oil cloth serves the purpose nicely and is easily cleaned. Glazed chintz, either in stripes or figured, is also a prac tical idea. This latter is especially suitable for shoe bags because it may be laundered readily. I also have seen very attractive accessories made from flour and sug ar bags, dyed, naturally to match the color scheme. In this way you can get exactly the color you choose. The material may be stiffly starched and ironed until it is smooth and neat. This type of material is easy to cut and sew, and you’d be sur prised at the attractiveness they can give your closets. Then, too, there are many plastic type materials now on the market, both in figured and plain patterns in an amazing variety of colors, which make lovely closet accessories. To clean them, you have merely to wipe them off with a damp cloth. Dyeing Tips Everyone knows that solid col ors can be dyed, but not everyone knows that prints also may be dyed, and with good results. If, for example, you have a print of light blue and white, you can use a yellow dye. The light blue will come out a green and the white part a yellow. In this way you keep the pattern of the print in tact, while changing colors. Always test fabrics to see how they will dye by snipping off a piece and dipping it in the dye. You can save yourself much dis appointment in this way. If your fabric is a mixture of several materials, play safe and use an all-purpose dye. If you want to change print dresses completely, dye them to one of the new shades, and out line part of the pattern in sequins. You should allow the garment to remain in the dye bath for 10 minutes, but if the desired shade is reached before that, remove it from the bath. If you are uncertain of what dyes will do with certain colors, test before dyeing the whole gar. ment, by using a slip of fabric from a wide seam or the hem. Dyed prints also can be used for accessories such as gloves and scarves, if there is not enough fabric for another dress or blouse. Fashion Flashes • - Shoulders on daytime dresses are discreetly padded. They show a tendency to be trim and neat while evening wear shows soft rounded shoulders. As for coats, you’ll see many shortle coats with free swinging backs, trim, neat coolie coats, or rather dressy full length coats with a great deal of waist interest. Straws seem to be among the popular hat materials. Watch for the slim-waisted look particularly in suits. You’ll find this achieved in many intricate ways. The new prints are in soft muted colors, and the figures and patterns spell a riotous story. They’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before ex cept in men’s neckties.

MEMORY SELECTION—And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me. that they may be one, as we are.—John 17:11 The voice of the Son of God lifted in audible prayer! What could be more sacred and more blessed? He who had by act and example taught his disciples loving service (John 13), and had spoken to them words of comfort and assurance (John 14- 16), now prayed for himself, for them, and for us. While he spoke most intimately with the Father as his only begotten Son, he prayed aloud that his disci ples might hear his prayer and join with him in it. This prayer is often called the high-priestly prayer of Christ, and rightly so, for here the "one medi ator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 2:5) spoke as “the High Priest of mankind who begins his sacrifice by offering him self to God with all his people” (Godet). First we find that he prayed foi himself as he spoke of l. Salvation Finished—Then Glory With the Father (w. 1-5). He looked up and said, "Father,” that was all. No struggling, no pleading, just the recognition of his own divinity, his intimate and unique Sonship to God. Throughout this entire prayer the same close rela tionship is found. It was not as we would pray “Our Father,” but “Fa ther.” Jesus was the Son of God. Yes, he was and is God. He and the Fa ther are one in blessed eternal, in finite unity. But as he is in the Father, we who believe are in him. So the poet well says: "Near, so very near to God, Nearer I cannot be. For in the person of his Son I am as near as he.” This divine Redeemer, who laid down his glory when he came to earth (Phil 2:7, 8) to be a Saviour, was now ready to take up that glory again. He spoke of the work of sal vation as completed—for in his obe dient soul the death on the cross which was just ‘ahead was already accomplished. Now he was ready for the Father to glorify him even as he had glori fied the name of the Father. That prayer was answered, and Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven. What a glorious Saviour we havel His prayer was soon turned to those who had believed in him. They were precious to him, for they were given to him by the Father. II. Out of the World—Then Kept by the Father (vv. 6-11). There is something powerfully as suring to the believer to read the words of Jesus which declare that these who had believed on him had been given to him by the Father. They belonged to the Father, and he gave them to the Son. They kept the Word of God, and thus they knew the Son as the manifestation of the Father’s name. What could be more certain for time and eter nity! Note that they were taken “out of the world”—that does not mean that they left this earth. They lived here as we live here, but they were de livered from that evil world power which opposes God. Some professed Christians who find thair greatest delight in fellow ship with the Christ-rejecting world had better read carefully here, for it appears that the one who is truly in Christ is not “of the world.” These disciples had to remain in the world (though they were not of itl) and they needed to be kept. Now that the earthly ministry of Jesus was to be brought to a close, he tenderly placed them anew in the Father’s mighty hand. Again we say, what could be more blessedly secure than that! We must note that our Lord had a special interest and prayer for his own. Verse 9 obviously does not mean that he is not interested in all mankind. He died for them (John 8:16). But here his prayer was for his own, and in that prayer the j world was left out That makes us Teel still more assured in him. He, ' the blessed Son of God and only Saviour, prayed for me, for you! The closing words of verse 11 reach out into the third petition of our Lord, as he prayed for their m. Unity in Christ—Then Testi mony to the World (w. 20-23). I The verses between the foregoing division and this one (w. 12-19) are important. Our Lord was concerned about the hatred of the world for these who had received the Word of the Father, and yet he would not have them taken out of the world. They were to be his witnesses—even as we are to be in our day. They must remain in the world; but being one in Christ and sanctified through the truth, they were to be kept for God and used by him. O ‘8 8 Glamorize Vegetable Dishes (See recipes below) Interesting Vegetables I sometimes think when I look at Vegetables come to the table looking drab and color less how futile it seems for them to have color and freshness in their fresh state if they are so mutilated by cooking. Look at their glorious greens and yel lows at the market or in the gardens, and think how wonderful it would be to have at least a reasonable facsim ile at the dinner table! The secret is in their care and preparation. Wash and refrigerate them upon arrival in the kitchen. Then, do take care when you cook them . . . prepare just to doneness and you will save their crispness and color, and, of course, their nu tritive values. Use interesting methods of prep aration to bring out their fullest del icate flavors. Make them into cro quettes, toss them into a casserole or a salad, but do keep them looking like vegetables! Your own pleasure and that of your family will well repay your efforts. •Baked Vegetabie-Nnt Croquettes.

By VIRGINIA VALE T HE radio industry’s been breaking out in a rash of birthday and anniversary celebrations, like the “High ways in Melody” cocktail party at New Fork’s 21, when the program began its 21st year on the air. But the nicest one was just for fun—a luncheon at the Plaza given by NBC for Kay Kyser. The "College of Musical Knowl edge” man is wonderful when he’s turned loose among friends, a top- notch entertainer, a delightful per son. He got laughs from even the KAY KYSER hardest-boiled newspaper people who write about radio year in and year out and are definitely allergic to everything but the best broad casts — aad sometimes even to those! * No matter where you turn, there’s Bob Hope—in pictures, doing bene fits and guest shots, starring in his own program. He’s pretty pleased about hitting the top in the Hoover- atings repeatedly, because people wondered whether he could recon vert to civilian audiences after his concentrating on entertaining serv icemen and war workers for so long. It took a little time, but he’s done It. * Cute Gale Storm has been seeing New York, in company with her husband, and New York’s been see ing Allied Artists’ “It Happened on Fifth Avenue,” in which Gale stars. Bom Josephine Cottle, of Texas, she won the feminine division of Jesse Lasky’s "Gateway to Holly wood” radio talent search back in 1939; In 1942 she signed a seven- year contract with Monogram, and she’s definitely on her way up. * All of os who’ve been missing Jean Arthur daring her absence from the screen are cheering loedly because at last she’s going to make another picture. Sounds like a per fect role for her, too—in "Foreign Affairs” she’ll be an American con gresswoman investigating the mo rale of U. S. occupation troops in Germany—with Billy Wilder writing the piece and Charles Brackett pro ducing, for Paramount. *• The CBS “The Adventures of Sam Spade” is sprinkled with star dust. First, Lurene Tuttle was picked for a role in her first picture, “Heaven Only Knows.” Now Howard Duff, who’s “Sam," has been signed for “Brute Force,” to be made by Uni- versaL * As an angel come to earth in "Heaven Only Knows” Robert Cum mings is indifferent to gunfire be cause he knows no bullet can hit him. But—it took all his control to play a scene nonchalantly, as expert riflemen placed bullets all around him I * Cathy and Elliott Lewis are quite a pair; she does all the leading ladies on "Suspense” when male stars are scheduled; he gets star billing on “The Case Book of Greg ory Hood.” They wrote “The Thir teenth Sound,” which Agnes Moor head did on "Snspense” recently— hot wrote themselves ont of it. And they’ve written a half-hour show, in which they would star, which should hit the air waves before long. * Seems there’s a shortage of camels. None have been imported in the last ten years, because there was an epidemic of hoof and mouth disease in North Africa. Which may not affect you—but Seymour Neben- zal needs 16 for "Atlantis.” Doesn’t care whether they’re one or two humps, just so they’re camels. . * Vaughn Monroe and his band are no strangers to pictures; you’ll see and hear them in “Carnegie HalL” But twice in two weeks Vaughn has been screen-tested at 20th Century- Fox for a starring role in a musical, minus the band.
