Today -100: May 23, 1925: All things considered, I’d rather be divorced in Philadelphia

At the Geneva conference on international arms sales, Poland and Romania say they need special consideration due to their proximity to Russia (which is not participating in the conference – I’m not sure if that was its own choice). Greece says in that case, the neighbors of the neighbors of Russia should also get special consideration...

Philadelphia courts have been granting hundreds of divorces a month, Pennsylvania’s loose divorce laws (they never require a jury trial anymore) making it a destination divorce spot, certainly cheaper than Paris. The residence requirement is stricter than Nevada’s, at 12 months, but many just rent a room and don’t actually live there. There’s no legal requirement for divorce papers to be served, so one party may not even know they’re divorced now.
