DIVORCE EVIL? WHO SAYS SO? RENOWONDERS Nevada’s Metropolis Basks in Brisk Marriage and Separation Trade. BY MAX STERN RENO, Aug. 3.—Whaddya mean divorce evil? This is what Reno wants 'to know. There being no ill-wind, but blows some city good, Reno is basking in the divorce evil as no other city. High, but not dry, upon the sagebrush and yucca plains, Nevada’s little metropolis has become like some gay European watering place, kits hotels and resorts packed with ■wealthy pilgrims. 1 A year from last March Nevada “mended its divorce law shortening the term of residence from six to three months with one decree providing final and complete severance of the nuptial knot. About the same time California passed its “gin-marriage” law, forcing would-be elopers to publish their intent three days in advance, j Divorce Is Big Industry Under the benign effect of these two laws Reno began to blossom as the bay tree. From California came the elopers for quick and silent marriages. From broad America came the marriage-weary for quick and silent divorce. In a slump because of the silver market, Nevada perked up. The Reno divorce-and-marry mill has grown into a $5,000,000 a year industry and under the spell of modern organization methods is growing month by month. Here are some facts about ,the Reno mill: More than 2,000 men and women are divorced each year. Os these 1,200 are women and 800 are men; Reno has ninety lawyers, the big majority of whom are engaged in the divorce business. These have organized under the Washoe County Bar Association into a sort of “union.” The minimum price of a divorce was set at $260. There was no maximum price, the record being $25,000. There are several, however, who’ll handle a case for SIOO. Marriage Comes Cheaper The marriage comes cheaper. One can get re-spliced for as low as $2. The price of Justice Seth Longabaugh, the “marryin’ justice,” is $5. As the lawyers are highly organized, so are members of the “divorce colony.” A social organization, called the “Colony Club,” has been formed with a $lO initiation fee, a paid secretary and monthly dues. The secretary’s job is to provide entertainment, dinner parties, riding and auto trips, golf tournaments and night diversions. Speed is the criterion of a sue- j cessful operation. More than one- 'j half of the cases are heard the same day the complaints are filed. The divorce and marriage industries are closely allied. Many bring along a No. 2, a No. 3 or No. 4, ready to marry immediately. More than 10 per cent leave to the tinkle of j new wedding bells. Cupid Ahead of Rival Superior Judge George A. Bartlett holds the world record for di- | vorces. “When people no longer live harmoniously together, they get a divorce if they’re sensible,” says the judge. “If they’re foolish, they live on in misery.” Both divorces and marriages have broken all records for the past year. In the past six months Rtno has granted 1,073 divorces and consummated 1,275 marriages. These figures are about double those of before the “three months’ residence” and the California “gin marriage” laws; Cupid has kept always just a bit ahead of his rival.

Raising of Bison Proves Huge Success in Canada

Government-Owned Herds Traced to Four Calves From Montana. By Science Service OTTAWA, Aug. 3. Buffalo ranching has been a decided success, as carried on by the Dominion government. This year’s quota of American bison, 1,057 animals, have just been transferred from the government ranch at Wainwright, Alberta, to Wood Buffalo Park, near Ft. Smith, Northwest Territories. This reduces the Wainwright herd to about 5,000 head and brings the total shipments into the park to over 6,600. In addition there is a herd of some 1,500 “wood buffalo” who were native to the park, so that taken altogether the bison now under Dominion protection in the two places number well over 13,000. The Wainwright herd traces back to four calves, survivors of the wholesale slaughter of the vast bison herds that roamed the western plains during pioneer days. Michael Pablo, a half-breed American Indian in Montana, adopted the calves and with them as a nucleus built up a herd of some 700 animals. In 1907 he sold them to the Candian government and they were transferred to the fenced range at Wainwright. In the twenty-one years since

Those not accounted for in the two major herds at Wainwright and Wood Buffalo Park have ben distributed to other parks or otherwise disposed of. Some of the surplus animals have been killed for meat and buffalo robes. RAISES BIG HOLLYHOCK Stalk Is More Than 17 Feet Tall; Four Smaller Branches.

CLEVELAND IS WORLD LEADER IN AVIATION Takes Predominant Place in Three Years After Airport Is Built. BY ALBERT H. TEDERSTROHM United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Aug. 3.—Cleveairport—only three years old—has become the world’s greatest air center. Records compiled by City Manager W. R. Hopkins show that the field, looked upon as an experiment when the question was first broached clears more traffic—freight, air mail and passenger—than any airport in the United States, and in the last few months its records have surpassed those of the famous Templehofer field in Berlin and Croydon Airport in London. The story of Cleveland’s airport goes’ back to four years ago, when the question was looked upon with doubt even by some oi the most ardent supporters. Others, however were confident. The money necessary to start such an enterprise—more than $1,000,000 —was considered an enormous

amount to spend on something that was not certain of success. Two other obstacles were encountered—Ohio laws would not permit a city to appropriate money for such a purpose ( nor would they permit a city to condemn land for an airport But Hopkins, believing there were great possibilities in the project, fought along. And before he had spent much time on the question he had interested legislators. The result was that the city council, in January, 1925, appropriated $1,125,000 to purchase and improve a tract of 1,100 acres, just nine and one-half miles west of the heart of Cleveland. The site was selected on the recommendation of MajorGeneral Mason M. Patrick, chief of the United States Army air service, and Capt. E. V. Rickenbacker, World War ace. With the preliminaries out of the way, the Postoffice Department sent Maj. John Berry, its field engineer, to Cleveland to assist in conditioning the field. His work was such that he was retained as superintendent of the field. The field is valued- at $1,500,000. Private and public capital invested in airplanes, hangars and equipment totals $1,000,000 —and a number of individuals and firms are awaiting admission. During the first year of operation,
