Defends Nevada Law.

Governor Oddie declared, in de-
Tending Nevada's divorce law, that
it was, eliminating the six months
residence clause, almost indentical
with the recommendation for uni
form law made by the American Bar
Association and maintained that
states that have held Nevada up to
ridicuie because of her divorce law
had on their statutes laws Of marked
unfairness in failing to respect the
civil rights Of women.
ut Is interesting to note, said the
| governor, that an overwhelming
PROPORTION OF the Nevada divorce
colony comes from about four or five
Atlantic coast states, the divorce
laws of which are of considerable
antiquity and corresponding harsh
ness. Also that the states with reas-
onal lie divorce laws have contributed
practically no members of the Nevada
divorce colony"
Continuing, Gov. 0ddie declared
that Nevada does not want the
divorce business.
"The results of the recent elec-
| ton. he said. Sin the state indicate
with some positiyeness that the COM
fling legislature will amend the resi-
tdenoe section of the act so that bon
ande residence OF at least one year.
instead of six months, will be re-
quired in all cases where the cause
OF action arises outside the state; ard

governor Of Nevada, speaking before
the conference Of governors upon the
subject OF Uniform Marriage and

Governor Odde maintained that
the orthodox view that divorce is an

that, on the other hand, It was an alb

took the stand that in many eases
divorce acted as a cure for evil and
immortality
II do not contend" said the
Nevada executive, that divorces
should be granted for light causes;
but I do contend that between the
two extremes Of lax divorces and
ultra-restrictions preventing divorce.

Far from being too difficult to teach
in the elementary school, the subject
of public health can be made both I'M

simple operation as washing the hands,
for instance, becomes attractive when
studied with reference to bacteria

and the method of transference, are
all things which can be expressed in
the simplest terms and made clear tC
