RENO, New, March 26. U.P) - A
divorce seeker got off an inbound
train today and found awaiting her
an array of diversions and enter
tainmentS hardly equalled by the
best continental resorts - and a
minister ready to defend Reno's
liberalities from the criticisms of the
outside world.
The woman who sought the IA
nous Reno cure" had a feeling of
loneliness as though she had STEP
ped into open space, leaving be-
hind her friendships. customs and
everything life held dear. And that
loneliness has made Reno what it
is. In common with most other
prospective divorces her reStive
spirit created demand for the
means to forget and Reno was ready
to meet that demand.
To DR.. Alfred j. Case, pastor OF
Reno's lone Methodist Episcopal
church. and known, in this city OF
many divorces, as the marrying
parson," all this is as it should be
and has had no i'll effect upon the
community life in general.
The charges of Dr.. Clarence True
Wilson, secretary of the Methodist
board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals, that Nevada is
acting as though she would adver-
tise to the world that she was a
three fold compound of Sodom,
Gomarrah and Perdition," were des-
cribed by DR.. Case as lust a foren-
sic display of hot air
Reno gets its black eye from the
actions Of people who come here
from the Atlantic seaboard," DR.
Case said. Reno has finer church
es than any other city OF $4,000 il
the nation. Aside from open gam
bling, 1 can say from a knowledge
of 81 years preaching in northern
California that the moral and re-
ligious life of Reno will reach OF
surpass other cities of its size.
Reno needs to quote from Tho
Bible-I pray. On Lord, deliver ms

Shy On Escorts
Reno not only has many church
es, but it has an almost inexhausti-
bic supply of resorts, casinos, nigh
clubs, roadhouses, dance halls anc
movies for the properly financed
visitor. Without funds for al thesf
things. Reno can be as boring "a
other places of its size.
The lack of male escorts, espe-
cially those equipped with dres,
suits, is a major problem in the di-
vorce colony. While often the di-
vorcees are escorted by the mer

claimed the artists was cold and in

Won Schneidau has won several
prizes for his paintings as well as
several commissions to execute por-
traits of prominent people, it was
said. He was brought here from
New York to paint murals for a

AND
WIFE VICTIMS
OF DESPERAD0ES

HOLLIS, n. Y. March 26. UP)-
Three robbers leisurely ransacked
the home of a dentist and tor
tured him early today while their
women companions donned his
wife's garments to the soulful
tunes of a radio.
DR.. and Mrs. Edmund Bigan. %
and 81 respectively, returned home
shortly after midnight. They had
put their automobile in the garage
and were about TO enter the house
when a man stepped from behind
a bush and confronted them with d
revolver. The bandit was joined
by two companions, who ordered
the dentist and his wife into the
house.
One OF the trio admitted two girl
companions. Somebody suggested
they have some music. and one of
the bandits turned on the radio, he
then wheeled around and ordered:

set with four diamonds and worn
by Mrs. Bigall, caught the eye of
one of the women robbers. She
tore it from Mrs. Bigall's wrist and
placed it on her own.
One of the girls went to the Sec
ond floor. where she changed her
own clothing for silk stockings,
lingerie, dress. hat and fur coat
belonging to Mrs. Bigall.
Bigall took this moment to make
a lunge at one of the robbers, who
struck him over the head with the
butt of his revolver. The men then
forced Bigall to remove his shoes
and stockings and began burning
his toes with cigarettes and match
es.
They demanded he write a check
for $1,000. He insisted his check
for that amount would be worthless
and the bandits stopped torturing
him.
After remaining in the house for
about an hour and Is minutes, al
ternately listening to the radio and
for something to drink,
the quintet left.

The other two Big Ten teams,

Wisconsin, playing its first game in

Purdue, badly crippled, but with
plenty Of capable, if inexperienced,

Big Ten football followers expect

already has toppled Michigan, last
years co-champion Of the Big Ten,

Northwestern has exhibited a
powerful defensive team. Nebraska
