Since 1931 the quickest U. S. treatment for unhappy marriage has been Renovation (divorce in Nevada) which requires six weeks' residence. Last week on Valentine's Day the rugged (and strongly Roman Catholic) State of Montana set up a rival divorce market when its Senate passed (35 to 18) a lower-house bill, which Governor Roy E.

Having learned in previous years that announcement of the amounts of money he spends is a local publicity boomerang, Harry Hopkins talked of his plans in terms of men and jobs, not dollars. WPA's assignment is to take up unemployment slack rapidly at first, then more slowly as PWA's projects get going, then at full capacity when winter comes and heavy construction slows down. Last week WPA added 60,000 workers to its rolls, two-thirds of them in the Midwest...
