EASY DIVORCES" REVIVED IN RENO

Reno, Nevada, has been a comparatively dull
place in the last two years, or since the Barnes
amendment to the divorce law made one year s
residence in the state imperative for couples seek
ing legal separation, but now things beginning
to pick up again, for Governor Boyle has signed
a new law which cuts the residence requirement
down to six months. The immediate effect of this
law has been that again persons seeking divorces
are rushing to Reno, re-establishng the divorce
colony" and entering boisterously into the amuse-
ments provided in the dance halls and cabarets. In
fact Reno, which has profted much from the easy
divorce laws" of the past, is beginning to reap
again the money that the divorce industry
brings to that wide open town.
Already we told that the divorce colony
which until recently had been deserted has one
hundred residents and is rapidly growing That
means that one hundred persons from other states
have gone to the Nevada town with the intention
OF remaining there six months so that, under the
free and easy law of the state, they can go into
court at the end of that time and seek legal separa
tion from their wives husbands and then 90 back
to their home states. Judging from the action of
the Reno divorce courts of other years, there is
little doubt of their getting the desired decrees,-
after, of course, having literally remunerated the
Reno lawyers who plead their causes.
1t has been stated that the average cost of Reno
divorce is $500, exclusive of entertainment and
sundrles" that usually elaborate and costly
During the two years previous to the passage of the
Barnes amendment 1921 divorce suits were filed
In Reno, city of only $4,000 inhabitants
If any other argument were needed to prove
that at least the majority of the people who 60
from all parts of the country to obtain divorces in
Reno are persons who regard the marriage vow
as something that can be assumed and set aside
almost at will, that argument is contained in the
fact that men and women seeking divorces are
rushing to Reno at this time after persons of their
character had Stunned the place in the last two
years.
Most of them, apparently, are persons who think
1T is well enough to be divorced if they can obtain
legal separation through six months residence in
the Nevada resort but who are not so eager for
divorce as to be willing to pass whole year there
1t is hard to see how such persons can regard the
marriage vow, when they take it, as a permanent
obligation.

which has made these peoples partners, they could
not well act independently of the Austrians even
should such a catastrophe as the fall of Budapest
be imminent.
According to the latest dispatches it appears
that the Russians are having some difficulty max
ing progress in the Carpathians. Although their
foes are generally mentioned fas Germans and Aus
trians, the Cars troops are meeting with resist
ance from the Hungarians as well. The latter seem
to be taking rather active part in defending their
country, as evidenced by the following passage
from an account of an engagement in the Car
pathians, which came through Petrograd and
London:
battle the part of the Hungarians whose fighting
qualities being highly eompmented by Russian officers.
If there is truth in that little item,-and it does
not seem that the Russians would give their enc
mics mdeserved praise,-then the Hungarians must
be not only as loyal to the German Austrian forces
as are the Germans and Austrians themselves, but
even more energetic than their allies in opposing
the invaders.
That the Hungarians will sue for separate peace
surely appears improbable when it is remembered
that the government of Austria Hungary is domi-
mated by Hungarians If there were to be any ne
gotiations entered into with the Allies independ-
ent of Germany the contracting party would surely
be Austria Hungary as whole, and even such ne
gotiations could not well be made until there is
much clearer knowledge than at present of what
the final terms of peace wl'be.

INDOOR LIFE MAKES FAT
Take Oil Of Korein to Keep Weight
Down, Or to Reduce superhu-
Gus Fat

People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived of fresh, invig-
Grating air and exercise must take pre-
caution to guard against over-stoutness,
as fat acquired by indoor life is un-
healthy and danger to the vital or
gans of the body. Lack of exercise in
the fresh air weakens the oxygen-carry-
ing power of the blood, so that it is
unable to produce strong muscles and
vitality and the formation of unsightly
and unhealthy fat is the result
If you are 10 or 90 pounds above
normal weight you are daily drawing on
your reserve strength and are constantly
lowering your vitality by carrying this
excess burden. Any person who is salts
fed in their own mind that they are too
stout should 60 to a good druggist and
get a box of oil of korein capsules, and
take one after each meal and one just
before retiring at night.
Even a few days treatment should
show noticeable reduction in weight,
digestion should improve, energy re-
turn, footsteps become lighter and the
skin less flabby in appearance.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot
injure, helps the digestion and is de-
signed to increase the oxygen carrying
power of the blood. Any person who
wants to reduce their weight Is or 90
pounds should give this treatment a
trial. There is nothing better.-Adv.

NO SEPARATE PEACE FOR HUNGARY

Together with rumors that there are before long

come persistent reports that certain of the present
belligerents are soon to for peace 1t has been
reported, and of course denied, that Germany and
Austria have been considering peace negotiations,
and also that Turkey has been contemplating sep
arate peace. Equally persistent have been the
assertions of late that the Hungarians will endeavor
independently to withdraw from hostilities if the
Russians break through the gates of Hungary at
which they have been batterng for the last twelve
weeks and pour into the land At present Russian
invasion OF Hungary is certainly possible, but
separate peace hardly is.

Austrans and less for the principle of dualism

LuNAT1cs WHO ARE NOT DANGEROUS

The superintendent of New Jersey asylum for
the insane is responsible for a declaration that all
insane persons are not idiots and imbeciles that
some are abnormal persons who are not danger
ous' and that in this latter class belongs one out
of every ten human beings. He does not recommend
the confinement of all insane persons coming under
his classification and therefore cannot be considered
to be trying merely to help along his business
1t the distinguishing marks of persons lacking
sanity are that they abnormal" and mot dan
gerous, then the estimate of one insane person out
of ten does not seem to- be fair one. 1t is too
low There are at large vast numbers of persons
who have extreme pecularities and are therefore
IN certain respects abnormal, yet who certainly
not dangerous long as those who come in con-
tact with them make necessary allowances for their
eccentricities and do not commit the indiscretion
of entering into arguments with them.
Since the very nature of the classification pro-
vides that the large proportion of the insane are
not dangerous it hardly seems possible that per-
sons unsound mentally can under ordinary condi-
tions be distinguished from sound ones A search
for the one lunatic to every nine normal beings
may be altogether futile.
OF the mentally deranged who are free to wander
where they WILL there are surely very few who
would find congenial surroundings in an institu-
tion where, despite the high qualities of some of
the inmates, the walls are high and the window
gratings firm.

LAUNDERING REPORTERS

Drunkenness is folly!" earnestly
exclaimed Bishop Magee in the House
of Lords on celebrated occasion. How
Mortified was the prelate to read in the
papers next morning that he had given
utterance to the very bacchanalian sen
timent, Drunkenness is jolly!"
Lord Salisbury was master phrase
maker, but one of his best points was
spoiled when a careless reporter turned
his reference to "manacles and Mani
toba" into the meaningless manacles
and men at the bar"
Sir William Harcourt was badly mis-
quoted once. "Great is Diana of the
Ephesians he exclaimed upon the
platform, but one paper had it: "Great
Dinah! What farce is this!'
Lack of knowledge Of familiar quo
tations is prolific source of misreport,
ing. For instance, speaker once
made use of the well-known lines from
Milton IS "L'Allegro:
"But come, thou goddess, fair and
free,
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne.
The brilliant reporter deputed to
"take him down. was in despair. He
could not make head or tail of this
mysterious utterance. But. following
the sound as far as possible, he seized
his pen and produced the following
gem:
But come, thou goddess, fair and
free,
In heaven she crept and froze her
knee.
The speaker was taken down in more
senses than one-London Answers.

Chivalry still persists in modern

In one of the repeated charges by

changed hands so often the non-com-
missioned officer led his squad to with
in fifteen yards of the British trenches,
where he fell wounded by six bullets.
His comrades, who were forced to fall
back to their own trenches fifty yards
away, tried to carry off the body of
their supposed dead leader, but were
unable to do so owing to the heavy fire.
Twenty-four hours later the British dis

still alive and called to him to come
to their trench, promising him good
treatment. He was unwilling to do
so and, instead, raised himself on his
elbow and called to his friends:
'Come, get me. I don't want to
be prisoner of the English"
The Germans shouted to the British
request for permission to bring in
the wounded man; the British promised
not to shoot and two German soldiers
ventured boldly out of their trenches,
crossed the intervening space and car
ried the wounded man back, not shot

mans joining in cheers. The story is
printed with approving comment in the

100000 Pieces Of Mail Daily

The imperial postoffice in Berlin has
met the numerous complaints of slow
service of the so.called "field post by
publishing some statistics showing the
enormous amount of work carried on
by this branch Of the service. The
field post takes every day 100000
pieces of mail for, distribution among
the soldiers at the front and in gar.
rison, and it sends back from the front
100000 pieces, not to mention some
$4,000 pieces sent from one army to
the other. The mail sent to the front
must first be assorted according to troop
organizations into $4,000 piles, and the
letters alone fill 10000 bags daily.
The postoffice itself has contributed its
share toward swelling the ranks of the
German armies, not less than 10000 Of
its officials being now under arms. This
is another reason for dilatory service,
as the places of these men have in many
cases had to be filed with unframed
persons. Some 900 automobiles are
used in transporting the mails from the
railways to the troops.

WHOLE TOWN HUNTS BEAR
Business Suspended Two Days by Chase
at Redding. Conn,

Danbury, April 14.-Headed by II.
F. McCollum, premier hunter of Red
ding, followed by one hundred farmers
armed with shotguns, pitehforks, rakes
and other implements, natives of Red
ding last night chased through the for
ests of the town a big bear but were
unable to get within range.
For two days the bear has eluded the
populace of the town, although business
was suspended. The hunters have
caught glimpses of it from time to time
and suspect Brui of waxing fat from
raids on their chicken coops.
Although the whole population is
bearing arms, latest bulletins from the
front are to the effect that the bear has
beaten his foes in strategy.
