Pleased and proud was many a Reno divorcee to learn that the judge who had freed her-George A. Bartlett of the Washoe County District Court-had last week been renominated for another four-year term.

The average hearing does not take more than 15 minutes. Judge Bartlett has a quick comprehension of marital troubles, needs few details.
