Cupid Takes Over Reno; Divorce Trade Drops
Reno, Nev.—(UP)—This summer, if you believe in statistics, you can expect Reno to be the city of June brides instead of marital fireworks.
Reno completed 1940 in fine fettle, oldtimers said, pointing to the fact that marriages exceeded divorces by 9 to 1.
Gone are the days when 128 divorces were granted in one day. The average now is about eight, with daily marriages averaging around 72.
Judges were busy marrying people instead of divorcing them because of the California three-day waiting period between getting the license and being married, the new California medical examination law, and the selective service act.
But the marriage business is not what has given Reno its "lines" in plays and movies as the world's divorce capital. The marriages are chiefly of California couples, just young people, not "big names," not in the social register.
During the year there moved through the Reno divorce court some 2,250 dissatisfied husbands and wives, while downstairs in the marriage bureau, there were more than 1,850 couples (3,700 persons and Reno's population is only 21,000) who took the oath of allegiance to home and fireside.
Now Reno's divorce business, because other states have adopted Nevada's lead in easy divorce laws, is apparently ending in many marriages.
The county clerk and the judges smile. Each marriage brings a $2 fee to the county, a fee from $2 to $100 to the marrying judge.
Tulsa Alumni To Meet

Gibson Relates Experiences To Psychology Club
Telling of his work on the University campus the past two years, Dr. E. T. Gibson, professor of psychiatry at the University School of Medicine in Kansas City, spoke to the psychology club at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon. Gibson conducts a student consulting program every Tuesday afternoon at Watkins Memorial hospital.
In his talk yesterday Gibson described a number of the problems brought to him by students. He stressed the fact that the service should be extended for there is enough need on this campus for a full time consultant rather than one once a week.
About 60 members of the psychology club attended the meeting.
Women Riflers To Fire Thursday
A shoulder to shoulder match will be fired by the women's rifle team from 7 to 10 o'clock Thursday night, with awards given to the winners by the Douglas county rifle and pistol club. The match is open to all women who signed up for women's rifle team.
Fredda Gibson was singing with a small band at a college prom when Bandleader Richard Himber summoned her to New York to join his orchestra. At present, she is heard with Jack Leonard and Lynn Murray's orchestra on the new radio program, "Meet the Music," Sundays over the Columbia network.

Stockton Discusses Economic Changes
Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, spoke on the changes in the United States industrial economy since 1917 at a meeting of the Lawrence Rotary club yesterday.
Unlike in 1917-18, Stockton said, we now must have an uninterrupted flow of certain metals for steel alloys necessary to continue business as well as wage a war.

Ottawa Musicians Present Memorial Tribute to Skilton
The Skilton Music club, of Ottawa, presented a concert last night in tribute to the late C. S. Skilton. The club, formed several years ago, was named in Skilton's honor because of the composer-teacher's great interest in the formation of music clubs in Kansas.
Miss Irene Peabody, associate professor of voice, appeared on the program singing "Zoo Fantastique" (words by Lillian White Spencer) with Winifred Hill, fine arts senior, playing the piano accompaniment.
Powell Weaver, Kansas City organist who appeared on the Skilton memorial program here Sunday, also played for the Ottawa club.
