The greatest summer season in
Quaker States history 5 drawing
to a close, according to j. E. Nc
Cormick, vice president and general
manager of the Quaker State Oil
Refining company Of California.
Millions OF motorists have ira
veled billions of miles during the
summer" said Mccormick. The
sales of Quaker State super-refined
motor oil indicate that motorists did
not curtail their travels this sum-
mer. for, while our sales have been
expected to increase greatly, due to
cur recent merger of nineteen other
firms affiliated in the Pennsylvania
oil business, and the consistent
newspaper advertising carried dur
Ing recent months, our total sales
volume has been even greater than
we anticipated.
We credit a great deal Of this
increase to our advertising, as it in
troduced Quaker State Motor Oil to
hundreds of thousands Of new mo-
torists by telling Of the exclusive
Quaker State feature CT Super-re-
filming. This process eliminates the
quart of water-thin oil worthless for
fabrication purposes found in every
gallon of ordinary motor oils and
assures four full quarts of lubrica-
ton in every gallon OF Quaker State.
However, this great increase could
never have been accomplished un-
less the big majority OF motorists
travelled the usual number of
miles"

NEVADA COURTS
TO TIGHTEN Up
DIVORCE LAWS

RENO, New, Sept. u. QJP-Di-
vorcees who come here with the in
tention of remaining in Nevada
less than six weeks and get by"
with perjured testimony as to es-
tablishment of proper residence will
henceforth learn that Reno courts
are not to be dealt with lightly
Dismissal CT the divorce suit
without right to reapply in Reno
courts and possible Jail sentences
is the threat which judges Thomas
F. Moran and benjamin Curler Of
fer to such perjurers.
A new ruling that no residence
witness except the landlady. land
lord, manager or owner Of the
apartment, rooming house OF hotel
resided, will be adjudged competent
to testify has been made.
Cases Denied
More than 20 divorce cases were
either denied, or dismissed outright,
or were continued until proper wit
resSes could be called, during tho
past month.
Divorce-Seekers who are hones,
with the judge and remain here for
the full six weeks and a day, will
not have the slightest difficulty
The ruling is aimed only at the
"chiseling" divorce who attempts
fraud.
Ii there is a valid reason why
the landlady, or manager, cannot
appear in court, another witness
will be acceptable, it was ruled.
The proper and safe thing for the
divorce-Seeker to do when arriving
in Reno to take the cure is tC
register at hotel under the correct
name and remain there the full SIX
weeks, or move into another resi-
dence and stay put" The less NOV
ing around, the better.
Two Gases Blamed
Two outstanding cases of the
fraud that was being practiced upon
Washoa County courts, which cama
to the attention of the judges, are
responsible for the new rulings.
In one case, New York woman
rented an apartment by cores
pondence and arrived in Reno only
two days before the six weeks rent
had been paid on it, She moved
into the apartment two days before
her case was set for trial and then
attempted to prove to the judgc
that she was a bonafide resident
Her fraud was discovered, however,
and she was forced to remain in
Reno another six weeks.
