Divorce in San Francisco

Six days in the week there are an average of eight divorces granted in San Francisco. Sometimes the number runs up to fifteen or twenty. But taking the average of eight, there are 2,496 divorces in a year. Considering the average life of those concerned as 30 years of maturity, and not forgetting that there are two in every divorce, 150,000 people in San Francisco have been divorced. That is something more than half the number of those who have been or are married. There seems to be something the matter with the institution of marriage, or is it the human race? — News Letter.
