Wednesday "GHOST SHIP" with Richard Dix RANDOLPH SCOTT in THE COLLEGIAN Divorces Go Up With Prices; Suicides Decline Rising prices have a definite effect on the public's behavior, sometimes good and sometimes bad, according to. Dr. M. E. John, professor of rural sociology at the Pennsylvania State College. Divorces increase when prices rise, he pointed out, while suicides and deaths from alcoholism de - - cline. From 1914 to 1920, when the price level rose sharply, the di vorce rate increased from 110 to 160 per 100,000 people. In con trast,, divorces declined. from 166 to 128 per 100,000 when prices dropped in 1929. Increased prices from 1932 to 1935 pushed the figures up again from 128 to 171. "There are two explanations," Dr. John said. "In depressions many people who want a divorce can't afford -it, and hard times often bring a husband and wife into closer harmony." Contrary to popular belief, deaths from alcoholism declined. during the price rise of World War I, from 5.8 per 100,000 per sons in 1914 to 1 per 100,000 in 1920. During the depression deaths from alcoholism increased. "Evidently excessive drinking is not caused iv having . more money," Dr, John explained. "It's more likely that some people re- Sort to excessive • use of alcohol as a way •tO forget everything." . Suicides also declined with the price rises of World War I, he added, but the low Prices of . the 1920's were accompanied by an increase in the number of sui cides from 10 to over 12 per 100,- 000. During the crash of the 'stock Market and the depression, ' the Suicide rate went up , from 14 to 17 per 100,000 population. Campus News Briefs College Adds Special New Wartime Courses .

There were frequent trips to Warsaw, to Vienna and other Ea. ropean capitals. In Warsaw she met Frau Goering at a . luncheon Party, and there, as at other dip lomatic functions, she began to feel a sense cf impending doom which haunted other Europeans who were in a position to see the disaster that was coming. When the Germans invaded Po land it was almost immediately certain that Poland was lost. The Prince and Princess fled Poland to Roumania, then went to Hun gary and finally to Paris, where the Prince joined the Polish gov ernment in exile and the Princess wrote "Polish. Profile " a novel ‘vhicli; depicts many of the exper iences of her six years' in Poland. Since she has returned to the United States the Princess has written another novel, "Beyond This Shore," centered on the con flict between the American and European way of life as it is re flected in the marriage of young American girls to a Polish diplo mat.
