INC. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago •15 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dailies THE DIVORCE EVIL: Reno, Nevada, advertising itself | as "the biggest little city in the world." has rightful claim to the siogan when its business in the uivorce world is considered. In 1929 more than 2.000 divorces, ot a weekly average of 40 marriage dissolutions were granted in the R- no courts. Two thirds of th decrees granted were to women. Under the Nevada law a person muiit reside three months in the state or county in order to obtain a divorce. it is estimtaed that from 700 to 1.000 persons are at all times claiming residence in the state, Reno being the mecca of those who wish to fling what was once considered the holy banns of matrimony to the winds. Although a city of only about 18,000 in habitants, Reno has 40 hotels, 35 department houses, giving it more accommodations for ’ ' transient trade than any city of * its size in the country. They come from all over the country and keep buajt counting the days until they appear before the judge. All talk or effort along the line of curbing the divorce business or in correcting the law requiring a longer residence in the state have been futile' and opposed by a majority of the citizens because to th-m it's a business. The legal , procedure required in obtaining a divorce, after complying with the residence requirements is about five minutes and judges are known to have granted as high as 20 divorces in one day. Tjine is a movement under way to have the states adopt uniform divorce laws and it seems the reasonable thing to <io. All you need to do under the Nevada law is claim "extreme cruelty" and like magic the judge replies, "divorce granted." If we are to have the divorce evil, let the states regulate it, so that what is legal in one state will be recognized in another. To curb th divorce traffic in Reno the other 47 states might pass a law not recognizing the obtaining of a decree on the claim of a three month's residence in another state and the showing of more cause than the mere legal term being used now-a-da; a. The officers of the Indiana reformatory has made a study of a hundred of the prisoners there and announce the following interesting conclusions, recently printed in the Indiana Teacher: “Seven years ago the typical convict now in the Indiana Reform Nervous Woman Nearly Drives Husband Away —"I war, very nervous and so cross With my husband 1 noar'y drove him away.

He was two years older than most of the students in the room, was not interested in his school work, did not get along very well in his studies and disliked school. His attendance was somewhat irregular. His ability was decidedly I.elow the average. He lived in a poorly-furnished, rented home. He had a stepparent. The family income was meager. He was not interested in reading or athletics, had never belonged to any club or organization such as the Boy Scouts. He belonged to Sunday school, hut attended irregularly. He was not classed as a particularly had boy, but rather as a boy i without ability, without ambition. ■ without fixed habits of industry.” Those who attended the Municipal convention at Columbus. Indiana. last week could not hut contrast the poor lighting system there with the splendid illumination in Decatur. Here almost every street has its row of ornamental lights which burn through the night. In Columbus, where an outside company owns the franchise and where the rates are prohibitive, only a few lights are used down town and these are all turned off excepting one, at nine o'clock, and most of the city is unlighted. That's certainly one advantage of owning our own plant and since it operates at an actual profit we all ought to feel mighty good about it. Pep up boys, business is slowly improving. Don't spend too much time comparing your business this week or this month with the same period of some other year. Things come and go, but after all the average isn't bad. Work as hard as you can. keep hitting the ball and advertise and you will be smiling when the old New Year rolls around.

HELICOPTER OF SPANIARD SEEN AT LE BOURGET “Elying Windmill’' Takes \ Off and Lands in Small Space 5 Lo Bourget, France, Sept- 24- ~ ; (U.PJ—When a giant flying wind- [ mill came sailing down from the ) skies and landed at the internaJ tional airport here, Scnor Juan do j la Clerva, young Spanish engineer, . achieved the' first England to France helicopter flight and announced his ambition now was to fly his machine across America. ' Two years ago, La Cierva flew ■ an experimental type of his plane i i from France to England. Since ■ then, his helicopter, which resem- ' hies nothing so much as a flying windmill, has been greatly per- ■ feited. Its inventor believes, be- ‘ cause of its ability to arise or ! descend vertically, it will be the ! type of air machine employed by ’ future tourists to hop the Atlantic i solo, using ships to alight upon. , '.'The helicopter is still compara- ■ lively unknown to America" Senor ' la Ciervo/told the United Press, ! "but that state of affairs will not 1 continue long. I have already arranged for big production of my !' machine at Philadelphia and I hope that in a few years every pleasure airman in America will possess ut least one autogiro, or helicopter, to enable him to drop down on the top of his friends’ houses.” No more than two hundred feet are required for a take off or landing. the inventor maintains, which means that it overcomes the chief diffiiTilty against development of air traffic in cities. Use of the helicopter would reduce time lost I in getting to and from aerodromes situated on the outskirts of cities, since tile machine could take off or land with only a reasonably sized roof building as “airfield." After showing his new machine to French Air Ministry officials, la Cierva happed off to Spain where he is working to a more powerful helicopter which he will submit to the British Air Ministry. o MAGLEY NEWS - ' * R< v. ami Mrs. David Grether and family.
