The American boys made wonder

cheerful and could stand hare
knocks. 1t is probable that the,

petition of the statement that some
$4,000 people were burned to death
last year and $5O0,00O,O0O worth
of property destroyed in the United
States.
With such record of death anG
destruction, our fremen must be
brave men in their fight against the
American fire monster.
In pamphlet entitled "Fire

ers shows what a fireman is called
upon to do in his work of protect.
ing life and property.
When one remembers that the
per capita fire loss f this nation to-
day is $4.75 compared to IL cents
in Holland and 33 cents in Great
Britain one can well see why an
American fireman must be not only
more courageous but more efficient
than the firemen of other nations.
While our firemen deserve all
praise, American citizens as whole
deserve severe censure for their
gross carelessness which results in
such terrible annual loss of life and
property.

Alaskan towns today have bet ter prospects for solid, substantial deve lopment than ever before. The busi ness man has been we'll paid for his time; his grievances have vanished. Civic pride has sprung up; and the world outside knows that we have learn ed the secret of success in our cities.
 But however thriving each com munity is, there can be no permanent progress for the Territory until local patriotism is subjugated to patriotism for Alaska The day is past when each settlement was isolated, and when men came here to make stake and get out. Men are coming here because they have learned that it is "a good country to LIVE in. While making a living is naturally their first concern, they are not building for themselves and for the present alone. They have vision; they see future generations continuing and improving the structure for which they have laid the foundation. At present it seems that each artisan has become so engrossed with his own little wing and and cornice that he has lost sig Int of the main structure-ALASKA'S future.
 If this continues, we will find, in stead of a harmonious whole, built to endure the strain of years. flimsy un balanced foundation that will topple over in the first storm.

Cupid Will Come
Out Victor In
This Case

Are you still married when
you get a divorce! Sure, if the
marriage that took place in the
United States is followed by g
marriage ceremony in Mexico.
That is the position Of Stan
ley Hills and his wife today.
Stanley Hills married Fay Anna
Wetzel, of San Diego, here in
June. Fay was only II years
of age, and consequently q false
declaration was made, she not
being Is until next March. Her
parents instituted proceedings,
and the ceremony performed here
was quashed yesterday by Judge
Franklin j. Cole.
That disposes of the United
States. Now the international
aspect creeps in. knowing that
proceedings were to be started
by the parents of the girl to
have them separated, the couple
quietly visited Mexicali, and got
married over again there. SO
they are still married as far as
the law of the United States is
concerned for a marriage in
Mexico is recognized as legal
in the United Statcs-so there
you are.
There is every prospect that
the marriage will remain legal,
for it will be impossible for the
parents TO take proceedings in
time to get the Mexico marriage
annullcd, as the girl will bo l8
in March next, and it will take
longer than that to get the legal
path cleared towards a court ac-
tion.

new RULING IS
MADE ON MOTOR
REGISTRATION

SACRAMENTO, Nov. S.-Mo-or
car dealers and owners and traffic
officers were advised today by Will
II. Marsh. chief of the Division of
! Motor Vehicles. that hereafter no
! transfers of registration Of motor
vehicles will be made or new lie
enses issued by the division except
on the presentation of certificates
of ownership, properly endorsed as
provided under Section 45 of the
California Motor Vehicle Act.
The new order is effective at
once and conforms to the opinion
on the matter given the division by
Attorney General L. S. Webb on
November 1st. Webb held in his
opinion that the division has no
legal right to pass title to Il ear
except upon presentation of the
pink certificate of ownership. Webb
further held. that the division may
not issue duplicates of certificates
of registration to any person except
| the holder of the original eertifi-
cate.
T! Webb's opinion which will affect
practically every transfer of a mo
tor vehicle made in California iron
new on, advises Marsh that the only
/ safe rule TO follow will be for the
fdepartment to decline all apyliea
tions in which the certificate OF
ownership has not been. presented.
Marsh set forth his reasons fol
abiding bv the decision of the at
torney general in tne following
statement:
This office will abide by The
decision Of the attorney general
Registration and transfer will no
be made without the certificate o.
ownership.
Demand Certificate
Il would advise every persol
purchasing a ear to demand the Ger
tifieate OF ownership as The Grams
fer is not complete without il. Thi
also applies to all dealers who tax
in second hand cars on trades TO
new ones.
''In the past we have accepted
in lieu of certificates of ownership
notarized statements and affidavit
of ownership. This was at best
questionable procedure IS it pre-;
ented the opportunity for oeeasio
nal fraud. 1t VIII not be permitte'
in future.
"The attorney general S decision
gives the transfer of an automobil
the same legal status as the trans
fer of a piece of real estate. J
safeguards the purchased of 4 ca
against fraud and will be beneficia
to the motoring public in the ulti
mate"
