ENGLISH WEDDINGS BREAK RECORD London --Statistics for 1915 show there were more marriages in England and Wales than during any other on record. Births established a new low record and deaths were above the ten year average. Marriages during 1313 totalled The year 1315 beat that by 73.000. During the year the birth rate was 21 per thousand population.

The number of births over deaths was 252,301. as against an average of 378,360 The last quarter at the year showed the lowest number of births on record. A little group of men were discoursing- on roads the other evening. After hitting the high places and low places in Macon county and adjoining counties the automobile man shifted to Kansas. The liveliest road experience of his life, he said, was an hour In Kansas.

The Decatur man had journeyed to Kansas City by rail to meet his brother who had come to Kansas City by automobile. They finished their business, the Kansas man got ready to start back and the Decatur man had hours to wait for his train. "Go with me as far as Topeka," urged the Kanaas man. "You can get back in time for train and get to see something of Kansas." They consulted train schedules and the plan looked all right. The distance from Kansas City to Topeka is about sixty miles and they had three hours.

The Kansas man had a Franklin six i a brand new engine and it looked easy to cover that distance In three hours with time to DELAT. They i along a i till they got to Lawrence where tliey got a puncture. This was promptly remedied in a local garage and they continued their journey. They were three or four miles out of Lawrence when they saw a storm approaching. "Better stop and put on chains," suggested ths Decatur man.

"Oh, we'll not need them," said the Kansas man. "I don't know anything about your Kansas roads," urged the man from Decatur, "but If this was In Illinois we'd certainly need chains." "We'll get along all right i them." NEEDED CHAINS 1n ten or fifteen minutes the storm was upon them. The Kansas soil is of the kind known as gumbo and the rain made the road surface as slick as grease. To add to the difficulty the road was very rounding. It was plain enough then that they needed chains but it was raining too hard to stop to put them on.

The man at the steering wheel kept hie car at top speed. "Better ease up a little." said the man from Decatur. "Oh, this Is all The faster we go the better she'll stick to the road," was the reply. DIDN'T STICK But Bhe didn't stick to the road. At a slightly uneven place in the road the car whipped around and changed ends with the rear wheels in a deep, water filled ditch and the front pointing back toward Lawrence.

"We are in for it." safd the man from Decatur as he stripped off coat and vest. He is a a dresser and had not come prepared for an automobile trip. He took off hia shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers as high as he could get them, put on a. light overcoat which he carried and climbed out Into the ditch. After three-quarters of an hour of hard work they had a chain on one wheel.

they were i at It a man came along In a Ford. "In he askerl as he brought his car to a stop. "Oh. no We're lust looking for craw fish." "Better look out." warned the tur man aa the Ford driver In his clutch. THREE, NOW.

"Oh, I'm all right." But he w-asn't all right. Hia car skidded and the rear wheels went ever Into the opposite ditch. Then came a third car. Of course this slowed up to see what was the matter. The car skidded and a rowly missed going on top of the Franklin but missed it by a few feet There were three cars a i stranded.

With one chain the Kansas man endeavored to oat of the ditch. A much grinding he eventually did pull out but his car was headed toward Lawrence and to turn around in that greasy road was an inmpossibil- ity. The Kansas man solved i i culty by backing up half a mile to a cross roads. Tt was ticklish business he did it without accident. In a few miles they were out of tlie rain and on dusty roads.

The two men looked like tile ditchers. Their shoes and stockings were etill off and they were muddy from head to foot. They stopped at a pool by the side of the road, washed as well as they could a put on the rest of i clothes JUST GOT THERE When they reached the Santa Fe station In Topeka the train for Kansas City had Just left. They ware told that they had just seven minutes to make a Rock Island train, the depot being on the other side of the city. "Get there," said the Decatur man.

They started and on the way ran over they killed a i Newfoundland They reached the station as the conductor called all aboard and the Decatur man climbed aboard a sleeper. He went into the smoking compartment and with the help ot the porter he was able to Improve his appearance a little. But when he reached Decatur he still looked like a man who worked at tile ditching for a livelihood and had hart no time to change his clothes.
