FOR ONE YEAR LAW IN RENO.

RENO. New. March 22.-An initiative
petition changing the residence require
ment Of the Navada divorce law from six
months to one year has been placed in
circulation by Bishop George Hunting
OF the Episcopal Church of Nevada.
The petition is designed to reenact the
one year divorce law of 1913, which was
effective from January, 1914. until re-
pealed by the Legislature in Febru-
arv. 1915.
The New York herald., 1922-03-23

Certain modes-for example, the simple
untrimmed evening frock of silk crepe
are definitely at an end. Certain others
for example, the short embroidered jacket
have definitely arrived. Still others
for example, the "enroulement' evening
gown-show a tendency to crystalline
into standard formality.
Some modes, again. may be varied inf
nitely according to their wearer. The
tight sleeve and the loose sleeve turn a
graceful wrist at the same tea the long
skirt and the skirt that is not SO long
are both acceptable: the cape may hang
almost to the heels or be sittle more than
raldsh swirl of material depending
from the collar.

Landlord Gets 50 Days

New York. Dec 2s.-Charged with
failur. to warm the homes Of his sew
enty-two tenant families. Jacob Soloto-
rolf. owner Of four East Side apart
m.nt houses, today was sentenced to the
Tombs for sixty days when he was un-
able to pay $500 fine imposed by
Magistrate. George ". Simpson.
The magistrate refused to entertain
the landlords plea that he had been
unable to buy coal.
IT Is apparent" he said. that this de-
fendant did nothing but wait until
winter was upon Us 1t Is not right for
landlord to say he cannot get coal
now. The question IS did he make any
effort when he nr.t learned there was
going to be a coal shortage? The evil
dence indicate. that this landlord gave
no thought whatever to these tenants.
