Re-Employment Prospects

President Roosevelt has let it be known that he favors the
unemployment of Civil Service employees ousted from the old
line Government agencies by reason of economy.

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

Cuarte with it's old walled en-
closure, protected by two strong,
high towers still standing after
four centuries. One of these is
used still as a military prison.
Here and there all over the
town, one comes across lovely
old mansions. One can see wide
stone stairs rising from the
back of large, fine courtyards
and smiling gardens behind
elaborate iron railings.
One could write volumes
about the gardens of Valencia
and not exhaust the subject.
Art, nature and time have COM
bined to create scenes of almost
unearthly beauty. If you have
ever strolled or rested in the
gardens of Monforte, in the pub
lie gardens of the town, or in a
monastery or convent garden,
then you have with you a mem
ory that will always remain with
you. to bring solace and beauty
when life may for the moment
be grim and ugly. The Car
thusian monastery of Porta
Coeli with it's terraces, stairways
and arches of stone and marble
with flowers, fruit orchards, rare
tropical trees, tiny chapelS and
ShrineS is apart from this busy
world. One has the feeling that
it has always been there and
that it always will be.

In Dumps

Reno evidently couldn t
believe that economic forces
were at work even in it's
peculiar case, and the low
ebb of February of this
year, when only 131 out
landers filed suits, had the
whole place in the dumps.
Now it's different. The
wheel has turned. Never has
the city had so many promi-
nent temporary residents,
and each train which pulls
in delivers a new quota Of
six-weekers. A British lord
has come to town to break
the tie that binds, also a
son of the President, John
Jacob Astor's widow and
the granddaughter of Mark
Hanna.

One of the most beautiful
and animated cities on the
shores of the Mediterranean IS
Valencia. The surroundings and
setting of the city are well-nlgh
perfect, for this part OF the
Spanish Levant is one immense
garden where the choicest flow
ers and trees grow in luXuriant
profusion. Immense tracts OF
land are under cultivation, olive
groves and orange trees are
everywhere. Nice, neat little
cottages, the homes of peaceful
peasants, fertile fields biSected
by brooks and streams, rice
fields, fig trees, date palms, dark
expresses and fir trees round
the colorful houses. make the
approach to Valencia glorious
one.
In the center Of the huerta
or garden rises the town of
Valencia, dominating the plain.
The numerous belfrieS and
spires of the churches which
surround the auStere cathedral
seem to pierce the deep blue
sky.
Valencia presents a city OF
modernity and progress well
contrasted with its old and
typical quarters. The busy
Gale de Ia Paz with its shops,
fine commercial buildings, cars
and busy crowds Is in striking
contrast to the district Of FL

Reno Greets Divorce Famine End-New Quota of
Six-Weekers- -Greenbacks Replace
Gold and Silver
By EdWin C.. Hill

Grist is coming to the
mill in Reno once again. A
year Of famine has ended.
Stylish women and we'll
dressed men parade the
sunny streets, play the game
of chance and in seclusiOn
wait out their six, weeks of
exile. And then when the
AZ days are up they spend
five minutes telling it to
the judge and depart for
points east, north, south
and west, with the bonds of
matrimony severed accord
ing to the laws of the State
of Nevada.
About 5000 divorces have
been granted in Reno in the
two years since the six
weeks residence law was
enacted, and the law has
two more years to run.
However, business turned
sour. last year and up until
the past month or so had
fallen off so badly that the
whole town was talking of
going back to the three
months residence law.

Cruelty Leads

A statistician has figured
out that the Reno divorce
court shows the average
married life of it's plaintiffs
to be about eleven years and
six months. The longest
marriage span which was
shipped by a decree had
endured for 42 years, and
the shortest was one of
three months.
Mental cruelty, a term
which covers more than a
multitude of sins Of omis-
sion and commission, is the
chief reason why husbands
and wives cannot get to-
gether. Or, at least, that
is what they say in the
white stone courthouse Of
Washoe county, as calmly,
or tearfully, they explain
to the judge why it is alb
solutely impossible for them
to live any longer under
the same roof with their
mates.

WHAT SORT OF A WIFE

Does he want the sort Of a
wife his father desired in 1908?

DOES THE YOUNG MAN OF

DOES HE DEMAND m

Dear Miss Robinson:
Recently a famous traveller
asked, WHAT KIND OF A
WIFE DOES THE AVERAGE,
TELLIGENT, SELF-RE-
SPECTINc YOUNG AMER
ICAN DESIRE?" Perhaps my
answer may prove interesting.
Let me preface it by saying
that I am n years of age, have
earned my living since I was IT,
had two years in college, have
an auto-e cceSSorieS business,
come of good family with fine
idealS-vo which try to live up.
AND YET MOST OF MY
PARENTS IDEALS ARE USE
LESS TO ME, BECAUSE I AM
LIVING IN AN ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT WORLD.
This is particularly true
when 1t comes to marriage.
The home, in my fathers and

the husband was so little
interested in the beautiful
soprano voice of the lady
of his choice that he left
the room when she was wont
to exercise it. That, too,
is mental cruelty-and once
again the records are there
to prove it.
Reno, aside from the di-
vorce colony, is pretty
much like any other Amer
lean city of $4,000 with its
trim houses, their flower
beds and their well-paved
streets. A suburban colony,
transplanted bag and bag
gage from New York, Hi
nois or North Carolina, out
there in the flat valley near
the California border, would
look just as Reno does.

ONCE OVERS

Most people need more self
confidence.
AS you look back don't you
see that many times it was
timidity that baked your eff
forts.
If you had been sure Of your
ability and experience you would
not have hesitated at the crucial
time that meant success or fall
ure.
If you never help others you
won't always know how to help
yourself.
You gain both ways in helping
those who need it.
You may gain some little
pointers you had not thought Of
yourself.
And the feeling that you have
the ability to help, gains con-
fidence.

grandfather's time, was a social
and amusement center, even an
industrial center. A man
needed a wife who was a good
home-maker and mother. If
she filled that job she had no
time for anything else, and her
husband expected little else.

WANTS A WOMAN WHO
WILL BE A COMPANION AS
WE'LL AS A WIFE AND

And what does compionship
imply? 1t implies knowledge
of life. But suppose that in
acquiring that knowledge a girl
has made some unwise expert
ments, faced some bitter dis
ionnent-ShOJlld she there
fore be regarded as unworthy
for wifehood or motherhood?

OR CONDEMN HER IF THE
MEANS HAD BEEN UNCON-

And I think I speak for
most modern young men. We
like good women" as much as
our fathers did-but we no
longer think that goodness con-
Sists in ignorance. And we've
seen by bitter experience in our
own families that a pure, good
woman" through her very ig-
norance and intolerance, may
wreck a home; while, on the
other hand, the woman who
knows what it's all about"
often proves to be the most ten
der and understanding wife,
mother and comrade.
I AM FOR THE SINGLE
STANDARD. LET 1T BE AS
CLEAN AS POSSIBLE FOR
BOTH SEXES. BUT IF UN-

UNFIT A MAN FOR THE POSI-

IS THAT WE ENTER MAR

Money Dries Up

Last winter came the
drought. The streams OF
gold dried up, the dance
halls were empty, the clubs
deserted and the roulette
wheels gathered rust.
Tonight, however, sounds
of revelry come from the
Comstock, the club which
looks like a deep mine, which
has a tunnel for an entrance
and a main room with the
appearance of having been
carved from solid rock.
Greenbacks have supplanted
gold and silver in the play
at keno, roulette, craps and
birdcage. The Willows,
swell and exclusive, is going
full blast and the Truckee
River flows down from
beautiful Lake Tahoe and
through the town.
Such is Reno for what
one would call it. To some
it is a city of sin: to ma it
is a piece of Americana-a
compact travesty on our
multiform marriage laws.

Divorce Mecca

For years the city was
the mecca of those seeking
divorce. In fact, it had a
corner on the market, with
it's three months residence
and it's easy State law. But
some of the neighboring
States began to get envious
as the trainloads, whizzed
through their limits, only
to unload their mOneyed
cargoes out in the Nevada
sands. At the same time
some enterprising legisla-
lures in the northern states
of the Mexican republic
out-Renoed Reno in a
scramble for the business.
Thus it was that Reno,
looking to her laurels, not
only got the six weeks law
but also legalized gambling
and went back to the wide
open days of the frontier
The first two years brought
$195,0OO in fees to the coun-
ties, hundreds of thousands
of dollars to it's $50 lawyers
and many hundreds of thou
sands to the hotels, apart
ment house owners, dude
ranch owners, gigolos and
everyone else who had some
thing to sell or to rent.

A Way to Confidence

If you have never experienced
the pleasant sensation of help
ing someone worse off than
yourself, you have missed some
thing in your life.
If you have never helped to
solve a battling problem for a
friend in trouble, you have
missed a great deal that is
worthwhile.
When you aid another you are
made stronger thereby.
You have more confidence in
yourself.
The fact that you have proven
that you have a quality that
another does not possess seems
to act as an incentive to initia-
tive.
You become more sanguine Of
success in what you undertake.

A wisecrack is not butterfly,

Life Of a Wisecrack
Every woman remembers the

was paid her, and I am no
exception.
Perhaps the most flattering
bouquet that I ever received
was when some scenario writer
inserted a dear, old epigram Of
mine into a screen play made
from the book of a famous
writer, instead of the authors
own immortal lines.
The epigram was, "A hus-
band is what is left Of a bach
elor after the nerve has been
extracted"
The second greatest compli-
ment I ever received was when
a nationally known sports
writer devoted a whole column
to the praise of a philosophical
barkeep, who had chalked
across the mirror above his
bar, the following "deathless
words:
''It takes a woman 20 years
to make a man of her son-and
another woman 20 minutes to
make a fool of him."
I am flattered that the witty
barkeep liked that wisecrack,
