Reno Divorces and Weddings
Show Big Gain in War Year

Others believe that increased in
comes have tendency to hasten the
end of long -smouldering difficulties.
County Clerk Elwood H. Beemer,
in whose Office marriage licenses
are handed out over one counter
and divorce suits filed at another,
has this explanation for the mar
riage boom:
IT'S the war Look at all the
soldiers and sailors trooping in here
with their girls every day
Then there's lots of these older
fellows -35 and over - getting
smoked out now"
Only re-rationing can prevent a
record for marriage licenses In 1912,
the county clerk thinks. Every
month 50 far this year is well ahead
of the same month last year, when
a record of 22,93S was set.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, July 4.-The Nazis are
now using night fighters equipped
with nose searchlights, the authori-
tative journal Aeroplane reported
yesterday.
The first recorded appearance of
this device in fighting over the
Reich apparently was unimpressive.
The new fighter was shot down by
a Strings rear gunner while COM
ing home from the 1,000-plane raid
on Bremen June Is.
The journal suggests that this
may indicate change in the Ger
mans previous practice when
searchlights often were used for
the direct protection of targets, by
binding pilots and aerial gunners.

RENO, New. July 4-The first six
months OF this war year has brought
increases in Reno divorces and mar
riages.
Divorce filings are up 30.4 per
cent and marriage license issuances
25.5 per cent over the correspond
ing period last year
There were l ,3O7 divorce suits filed
from January l to June 80, as
against 1,002 a year ago. Meanwhile
12,2O4 licenses to wed were issued,
compared to 9,747 in the first half
of 194l.
Attorneys are slightly puzzled at
the rush OF divorce seekers. Many
expected fewer this war year.
Several of my clients say their
husbands are going into the service
end want to get their domestic
differences settled" one lawyer OBJ
served.
