SRENCH DIVORCES INCREASE
Constitutes Serious Problem in
Future National Defense
Paris, Nov. 23.—The number of divorces in France has increased by nearly twenty per cent since the war. Statistics just compiled for the first half of this year have seen 19,000 divorces, or nearly seven percent of the total marriages.
Madamoselle Helene Miropolsky, of the few women lawyers practise in the French courts, said:
Owing to the steadily decreasing birth-rate the increase of divorces constitutes a serious problem in connection with the future defense of married families.
"During such a cataclysm as the war the number of domestic dramas multiplied. A separation of more than four years is bound to have some result. In the majority of cases it resulted in binding closer the bonds."
"Aside from the moral causes that influence the conduct of men and women, the economic revolution by the increase of the largely responsible for the increased
of affection—but there were hundred failures and surprises.
"The exceptional character of the present situation is revealed by the statistics which show that the number of divorces demanded by the husband has been growing. But by the wives. Before the war the situation was exactly the reverse."
Plan for School Survey Prepared for Commission
Sheffield Ingalls of Atchison, chairman of the School Code Commission which was appointed by the last session of the legislature, was in Lawrence last week to preside over the state Educational Association of which Dr. F.J. Kelly, dean of administration of the University of Kansas, is chair man, Prof. W. H. Caruthers of Kansas State Normal School, Emporia and Supt. L. W.

This survey will be used as the basis for the recommendations to be made by the School Code Commission at the next session of the legislature.

ALUMNI ARE PLEASED WITH SPIRIT OF K. U
Alfred G. Hill Expresses Sentiments of Hundreds of Former Students
Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association, expresses on behalf of the Alumni Association, their appreciation for the hospitality and general spirit shown by the students and the Lawrence people during the Homecoming celebration, in a letter this morning
November 27, 1921.
To the Daily Kansas:
In connection with the successful Homecoming celebration I wish to express on behalf of the Alumii Association my appreciation of the very general co-operation of the University students and the Lawrence people. To my mind the credit for the victory over Missouri belongs to these students and citizenas as well as to those who have clark K. Salahino captain "Pete" Jones and their fighting players. Lawrence fairly outdid itself in its hospitality for visiting former students. The Chamber of Commerce entertainment the evening before the game promises to become a tradition. Glenn Charlton and Harold Burdick put in a week of continuous work to make this a success. The spirit of co-operation on behalf of the program was evident when the presence of Norman Hem's orchestra and by the various entertainers.
Behind the entire program was the guidance of Herbert Hungerford and the Homecoming committee which took charge of the two days homecoming celebration and spared no effort to make every detail a success. Hundreds of K. U. students were enrolled in the club organization through the county club organization in charge of two students, Shirley Peters and Ruth Miller, cooperating with the pageant committee headed by R. S. Knappen. The parade staged Thanksgiving morning was a revelation. The managers of the Sophomore-Freshman Olympics may well be commended for the minder in the they conducted them in the face of the Wednesday afternoon rain.
The entire homecoming illustrates what is made possible by co-operation of the units interested in the University, this list including the Cham
ber of Commerce, the faculty, the student body, the K. U. band, the KU music department and two student councils, responsible for the Thursday evening party, the W.A. Rally which conducted the Women's Rally the evening before the game, and the various other organizations of citizens who throw open their houses.
I believe I echo the sentiments of the hundreds of former students in Lawrence Thanksgiving Day. In excerpts made for the fine spirit of hospitality.

"TRIS" PLAYS WELL
Missouri Scored First. But a Forward Pass to Kruger Gives Kansas a 6-3 Lead in First Quarter
Displaying an unlooked for offensive strength and a sterling defense when hard pressed, the Kansas Jayhawker eleven overpowered the Missouri Tigers and sent them down to defeat in the new Stadium on Thanksgiving by a score of 15 to 9. After a day of gloomy and gray weather, the sunshine appeared during the day, warming up the atmosphere making the afternoon ideal. The players and players held the largest crowd in the history of Kansas-Missouri battles attended the game, over eight thousand witnessing the taming of the unruly Tiger.
With the dope in the favor of Missouri, the Jahyawk team entered the game with a strong determination. The team's ability in his ability to gain through the Missouri line featured the struggle. The Kansas fullback pierced the time and again for good gains. Capable of returning, he bore the chunk of the Tiger attack.
The Missouri men were the first to appear on the field, being followed in a few minutes by the Jayhawk team and the ground for a few minutes, the game was called promptly at 2 o'clock. Captain Blumer won the toss and chose to receive. The men line up, and the game ended in the field, and the game was on.
Kansas held the Missourians for downs and Lewis was forced to punt. Wilson returned the punt a few yards before being downed. The first play failed to gain and then Wilson missed the kick. Wilson played player recovering the ball on the Kansas four yard line. A right end run failed to gain and then on the next play Lincoln, the charging Missouri back, made two yards around left end. The next play failed to gain and after a consultation, the players and booted the ball over the crossbar for the first score of the game.
Kansas again kicked off to PhiLANS men and then held them for downs, forcing Lewis to punt. A short kick gave the ball to the Jayhawkers in the middle of the field. Then after three yard gains by Billy Krueger on a goal line, Adams, advanced the ball to the 36-yard line. Spurgeen and Krueger by line plunges made another first down, placing the ball on the 15-yard line. Then three line smashes failed to gain and Clark's men resorted to the air, a pass from Wilson to Krueger across the goal线 gave Kansas her first down. Williams scored the first time this season and the score took Kansas 6, Missouri 3.
After an exchange of punts the first quarter ended with the ball in Jayhawne hands on the Kansas 30-yard line. Soon after the start of the game, Jayhawne's yard penalty and was forced to pout out of danger. Missouri now completed two first downs in rapid succession and the Kansas goal line was threatened when Kershaw fumbled it, being downed on the 50-yard line.
The Jayhawkers made first downs and then McAdams punched over the Missouri goal line. Lewis punted back to the fifty yard line. Then started the second Kansas attack. They broke up the first play and made twenty-five yards through center. A pass, Wilson to Krueger, advanced the ball another ten yards and then Spurgeon was called on and measured up to his usual standard by placing the ball on the one yard line. "Proxy" took the ball into the end zone for few minutes later kicked goal, Kansas 13, Missouri 13.
After the kick-off and Conch Phelan sent in four men and a strong Missouri offensive was started. The team would win, but never, when Kruger intercepted a pass on the Kansas thirty yard line and raced sixyards to the Missouri eight yard line. The Kansas scored 14 yards down by me and my half the end.
At the opening of the second half (Continued on Page 4.)
