virginia has civil officers ap-

Judge Gordon is situated directly

Virginia, the license must be secured
in her home town or county. but the

Three minute marriages for those
in hurry and eight-minute serv-
ices for couples with more time are
among inducements offered by Ar
lington County to gain some Of the
marriage business which Is ex-
pected to come to Virginia when
Marylant,,'s new "two-day-wait"
law becomes operative next month.
The optional choice Of ceremonies
is only one of the advantages loyal
Arlington residents believe their
community offers over Alexandra,
which for the past several years
has led Arlington in the number
of marriages performed.
The possibility Of marriage
war" between the two nearby Vir-
ginia communities was seen today
as the deadline for the new Mary
land law approaches. In accord
ance with terms of a recent refer
endum, Maryland, after December
8, will require ministers to wait two
days following issuance of license
before a marriage service Is per-
formed. Washington has a re-
quired lapse of three days, while
Virginia has no such regulation

No Need for Imitation.
"The tactics used by foreign ma

trade and cultural relations need
not be initiated by the United
States" said Director Cox. ITO sug-

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
 FOR ALASKA GAME LAW

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The bill introduced in the House by Dele gate Dimond to amend the Alaska Game Law has been reported with amendments by the House Commit tee on Territories.
 One Of the amendments proposed would include bison and muskox under the definition of game ami mals" to afford these animals which have been introduced into the Ter ritory permanent protection. The same section would be amended to include in Hand fur-bearing ami raccoon and pika, and species transplanted, and in trodueed
 Authority under this section would also be given the Secretary of Agriculture to define black bear, including it's brown and blue color variations, as a game animal under certain conditions. At present they cannot be hunted as game animals, but only IS fur-bearirg animels. Since their pelts have little value, for fur. few of them are taken for that purpose, but during recent years il has become increasingly popular to hunt them for sport in various sections of the Territory.
 Filipino Game Law Status
 An amendment proposed for sec tion 3 of the Act is to classify Fil- ipinos as aliens. Filipinos are not citizens of the United States and under the naturalization laws they are not eligible for citizenship un- less through service in the mili- tary or naval forces or the Coast Guard of the United States. How ever despite their general noneiti- zenship status, the Attorney General of the United States has held that under the Alaska Game Law as heretofore set out they are not aliens. To place them under the Alaska Game Law in their true status with respect to citizenship will not discriminate against them nor will the proposed amendment affect the Filipinos who are al- ready citizens or who are eligible for citizenship. This amendment will facilitate enforcement of the Alaska Game Law in some parts of the Territory.
 An amendment is also recom- mended to authorize the Alaska Game Commission to purchase, op- crate and maintain aircraft; to re- stock depleted areas; to undertake emergency feeding of wildlife, and investigate wildlife conditions and provide protection of wildlife re- sources, none of which are author ized under the present law

The first United States airmail route was established between Wasn- ington and New York City, a dis Iaate of 2lS miles, on May 15, l9Io. On May 15, 1888, began National AIT Mail Week to celebrate the twentieth anniversary or that oc- casion. Starting with that route of Just 218 miles, the United States now has over 32,000 route miles, and 64,00O,000 annual flown miles, in addition to which there are 30.770 route miles in the systems connecting the United States with foreign countries.
 To help celebrate the anniversary a new six-cent air mail stamp was issued. Though the new stamps were not actually put on general sale until May 16 all postoffices had the right to requisition for them to be used beginning May 15th. Besides that fact, the Post Office Department gave each post office the right to make its own ara ngements as to celebrations cancellations and cachets for that week. That amounted to a special favor to each of the many post masters.
 As one of the many features ot the national celebration, a large 14-berth transport plane wa' transformed into a special pos office in Washington, D. c. A spe
