Readers of the Commercial will re-
member the attempt made Monday
OF this week by young Brooks and
his fathers divorced wife, Gcorgi-
anna DaiSle. to obtain a marriage
license from City Clerk Brett and
the attempt was frustrated by the
appearance of the boys father, Viii
liam brooks. who objected to the

funeral of member of his family he
would take the same road home he
had taken to the cemetery. He
laughed and said while he was free
from these ancient ideas he would
probably return by another road.
Popular belief has 1t that II you
employed the same road going and
coming, the evil spirits now acquaint-
ed with the route would be inclined
to lead another relative to the grave
yard. We are not superstitious-no,

month is that of September, the
month of the monkey. The Japanese
word for monkey is 'saru.' and 'saru'
means to leave. If married in this
month the tendency would be for the
bride to leave soon; thus the month

That the consul was a great letter
writer last year was shown by the
figures on correspondence. In the
twelve month period ending June &c.
last, consuls abroa received 756,S24
letters and sent out s7l.S91. Between
times they handled 1929 consular
invoices, visaed passports for 657,96S
aliens and 150.117 Americans and
checked the arrival and departure Of
27,S3S American vessels.
In connection with their passport
work, Director Carr asserts consuls
discovered many frauds, gangs of
crooks manufacturing and selling
fraudulent passports were broken up
in many places in Europe. and
counterfeit passports, cleverly copied,
rubber stamps for visas. counterfeit
fee stamps and seals-all were found
and destroyed and the practices
