This picture of the Nevada metropolis as a cradle of romance, was sketched yesterday by Robert Z. Hawkins, Reno attornew, who Is in Salem on a brief visit. A surprisingly large number of those who go to Reno seeking legal separation from their mates, find among others of their kind new objects of affection, Mr. Hawkins said, and new marriages follow as soon as final decrees are secured and their previous un happy unions dissolved. Reno has also become a popular place for Callfornlans o marry, since the enactment ot the three-day law by the California legislature delay ing the marriage ceremony for three days after the license is ob tained. Mr. Hawkins found that there are 4 7 listed attorneys in Salem as against 157 listed attorneys and law firms in Reno, a city of approximately 20,000 population. This difference in the size of the legal fraternity In the two cities is due in part to the added legal business which the divorce "in dustry" has brought to Reno.

I 320 N; Commercial V 'PHONE 403' i, . ..Saffron A Kliaa Liberality of the laws govern ing divorce in Nevada and liberal ity, of the courts in construing them have resulted in the growth of the number ot separation suits in Reno to a point where as many as 40 to 50 decrees may be grant ed in a single day, Mr. Hawkins stated. Extreme cruelty, con strued by the courts to mean phys ical or mental cruelty and corres ponding to the term lncompat ability, is the usual ground set forth in the divorce complaints. A residence of only three months Is required and decrees are final. Most states require a residence of from six months to a year and the decrees are inter locutory for a period of six months to & year. As a result, Reno grants more divorces in proportion to its pop ulation than any city its size in the country, Mr. Hawkins said. But the divorce "industry" is not the only asset which Reno boasts. Speaking before the Sa lem Advertising club yesterday, Mr. Hawkins pointed out that Reno has four banks with depos its of $19,000,000. It is a meat packing center and a shipping point for livestock and wool. It has 300 sunny days In a year. The University ot Nevada, with 850 students, is located in Reno. Reno has splendid recreation fa cilities and a tine park system. Mr. Hawkins atfcTtold the club that It was shorter by the air route from Salem to Los Angeles through Reuo than by way of San Francisco. Plans for a pas senger airplane service from Portland and Seattle to Los An geles by way of Reno, are being considered, he said. Few Cranberries Now Remaining In This Section There are probably not more than 1,000 boxes ot cranberries left In the northwest, according to local dealers. The crop has been especially good this year and the price has been such that the growers have made good profit. The demand for grapes has been less this season than ever before although the quality has been good. Nothing but storage fruit Is now available. California tomatoes are still in the market but the demand is slight. The heavy duty Imposed on Mexican tomatoes has served to practically barr them from the country and kept the price up on the California crop. Hurryl Hurry! Buy your Christmas cards now.
