One Signal Is
 Undersood, Came From Red Globe

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. R)- One signal from Mars that can be explained is reported by Latimer J. Wilson, an amateur astronomer here.
 Last May while watching Mars in 12-inch telescope mirror he saw series of bright flashes from the red planets surface. They were close to Mars south pole.
 They were tiny white spots. They passed in a patch from left to right across the "chin" of the planets face. Some of the spots seemed to coalesce. Mr. Wilson reported in Popular Astronomy, to swell into a brilliant white spot, then became yellow, then yelloW-red.
 The explanation, he thinks can be understood by everyone who has watched row of distant win dows flash into bright light, then pale to yellow in reflected sun light.
 The place where these Martian flashes appeared is covered with ice. This at least is the belief of astronomers. It looks like snow in telescopes. It changes with the seasons. The sun on May 30, when he saw the flashes, Mr.Wil- son says, was at the right angle to make window flashes from Mars.

Notariizing License System Leading to Many Law
 Violations

SEATTLE, Feb. g. Laws to abolish Washington's extensive mail order marriage license sys- tenn is advocated by King County officials as an aftermath of recent child marriages.
 County Auditor Earl Milliken said that hundreds of licenses are issued annually without the couples appearing at the Auditors offices as the law requires issuance of licenses if applications are notar- ized. The law enables bigamists to marry several times, permits white slave traders to marry and several girls have been lured into the trade via the mail order wedding route, Milliken said.
