| Reno, Nev. There are people in j 11 these United States who hold a ’ | firm conviction that Reno is lost. I | They reason that as marriages arc k made in heaven the place where ' they are unmade must logically be | the opposite to that "happy land.” k They torget that while a person, or ' place for that matter, hasn't for I gotten how to laugh there is hope | for that person or plaei. A sense of ' humor is the greatest lifeline of salII vation. | And Reno lias that sense of hu- ’ mor. Recently it stopped its unty- . j ing of material bonds, its gambling F and its love-making to laugh loud k and long at the latest sensation . within its hospitable gates. And I why wouldn't it laugh? Even a b burgh witli the melancholic name of .

Now the : story hooks would have it that they ■ lived happily ever after, but this isn't a story book. However, they ' lived happily until a couple of weeks ago. Then into the Eden ■ walked Peter Arno, a famous cartoonist of New York who had found ■ the ball and chain of matrimony irk some and had come to Reno seek- - ing emancipation. Arno was friendly with the Van- : derbilts, and why not? They were I neighbors. They went to dances and 1 parties together. But here’s the rub I they didn't come home together, i According to Vanderbilt, Arno was t just too eager to see Mrs. Vander i bilt home and Connie didn't like it. i In fact he hated it and to prove he hated he chased Mr Arno all over the lot witli an unloaded gun on the ' last occasion when the drawing i gent played cavalier to Connie's - missus. It’s a great joke in Reno. t an you imagine a fellow getting - sore because another guy likes his -1 wife? The upshot of the little gun chase II is a suit for divorce in the Vander - i bilt clan and a threatened suit by I : Corneliu against Arno for aiiena I ion of affections. That last crack I makes tilings bad for the comic ar -List, for if he is dragged into the ■ Vandeibilt divorce he may lie barri I ed from gaining the return to single i blessedness which lie may to Reno | to seek. So it looks as if Mrs. Arno 1 is going to remain Mrs. Arno for I another little while. Meanwhile Re- ■ | no laughs and laughs ami laughs.

JOBLESS OFFER PROBLEM Peiping —(LIP) China’s unemployment problem is, perhaps, greater than that of any other country today, according to to seminllicial statistics n several North China cities. A survey of Tientsin, the port of: Peiping, shows that 400,000 persons i are unemployed out of the total ' population of 1,450,000. Similar figures for Peiping indicate that more: than 200,000 are unemployed here. in a population of about a million. I S ipeiticial survey in other North Chinn cities indicate Unit at least! oue-rif.h of tile population is uni employed. The slump in silver exeliange, and (Jie world-wide depression, are cited as the principal; causes. Chinese economists estimate that men ami women entirely out of work for less than a living wage may total 50,000,000 out of a population of 450,000,000. in some "provinces they declare it is possible ihat half the population is without work. Peiping is better off than most Chinese cities .because 100,000 handicraft workers are kept employed making articles for export. But 50, 000 rickshaw-coolies are fighting for Hie privilege of hauling passengers several miles for a few cents, and 20.000 of these are often unable to get a snigle passenger in a day.
