RENO'S LAWYERS REPENTENT

Divorce Clients.

The legal profession in Reno seems
to have grown pretty sensitive of late.
At recent meeting Of the Bar asso-
citation a committee of three was ap-
pointed to make an effort to remove
from the legal profession of Reno the
odium attached by reason of certain
lawyers advertising for divorce busi-
ness.
Among the practical recommenda.
tions suggested to the committee were:
That the practice of meeting trains con-
tanning Divorces be frowned upon.
That the use of automobiles for the pur-
pose of exhibiting Divorces be abolished.
That any lawyers adding dinners at the
restaurant and theater parties to the list
of inducements for the purpose of getting
trade be penalized.
