DIVORCE FIGURES SHOW INCREASE: Total in 1029 9 Showed New| High Record for Canada Ottawa, Feb. ~ 7.~Without counting divorces granted to Canadians in the United States, Canada's divorce tot- al rose to a new high record in 1929. In the eight provinces where di- vorces were, granted the total was 816, compared to 785 in 1928. The last figures available from the United States show that two and a half times as many divorces were granted to Canadians there than were grant- ed to Canadians at home. Ontario, with a total of 208 divorc- es, showed a decrease of five from 1928. British Columbia led with 222. Alberta and Ontario were the only provinces. to show decreases. Figures from thé United States, for 1922, shows a total of 1,368 di- vorce decrees dissolving marriages performed in Canada. In thé same year divorce in Canada showed a de- crease. The report of the Bureau of Statistics, yesterday suggests 'that many Canadians acquire residence in the United States for the sole pur- pose of obtaining divorce, as divorce laws are more liberal in the United States than in Canada.
