SPEAKING OF DIVORCES

South F1oridians, particularly those
who make their homes in the shadow of
Miami'S skyscraper city hall. awoke with
start one day this week to learn that what
they had nurtured so long as a tourist at
traction was, of all things. a divorce mill. :"
Breathed into life in the days when
Reno was the divorce capital of the nation.
brought slowly to maturity as Reno fought
to heidrits place in the lucrative new trade,
Miamrs hello-and- goodbye parting sys-
tenn turned out to be divorce mill"
And what, we can't help wondering,
did the good citizens think it was when
they asked for it and the legislature started
it?
Actually, Florida's periodic shocks
over its divorce business are about as logical
as if the citizenry built itself an oil refinery.
then learned with wounded amazement
that you could smell it.
Certainly there is fraud in the divorce
business, and certainly it is rushed to the
point where there can be no real investiga-
ton, but we fail to see the grounds for any
surprise about it.
The judicial district of which Monroe
judges. 1t has untold lawyers deyoting
most, or all of their time to divorces, and
only the official scorekeepers know how
many people it has elamoring for a quick
divorce.
With setup like that, how could you
4 - =,
sible for the five judges to study carefully
all of the cases which are rushed before
them, and it is equally impossible to enforce
such rules as the one requiring the prospec-
tive divorce to come to Florida with the
honest intention of remaining here.
Even the 90-day residence requirement
really can't be checked, and neither can the
provisions which are supposed to protect
person from being divorced without know
ing it.
Small newspapers in Miami are estab
lished for no other purpose than to publish
legal advertisements that won't be read,
making it possible to get a divorce on de-
sertion charge when the plaintiff is sitting
quietly at the family home and doesn't even
know divorce is in the offing.
The divorce business in Florida isn't
so cid that most residents of the state can
not remember when and why it was started
They know it was started to get people into
Florida so they would spend their money
here, and they know the gradual process of
supplanting Reno as the nations divorce
center was greeted with glad cries by most
of the resort cities involved.
If some of the lawyers have been
caught overstepping the bounds, that's too
bad for them and the courts will punish
them-but don't be surprised about the
divorce mill. It's nothing new.

Today's Horoscope

Today indicates intensity, en-
thusiasm and nonchalance. The

though, as q rule, the native IS
apt to waste energy on strife OF
on inconsequential things.

Registrants Get Warning g By Gov.

Selective Service regulations make 1t mandatory for every reg istrant to have his registration certificate in his possession at all times and to display it upon re- quest of proper authorities, Gov Ernest Gruening warned all Al aska registrants.
 Gov. Gruening pointed out that the regulations provide:
 "The registrant must have his registration certificate in his per sonal possession at all times and, upon request, must exhibit it to any law enforcement officer, any Selective Service official of Ma tional or of State Headquarters or any member of the local board or board of appeal
 Failure of registrant to have his registration certificate in his personal possession or to exhibit 1t upon request of authorized per sons, constitutes a violation of the regulations and, in addition, shall be construed as prima facie evidence of his failure to regis ter, Gov. Gruening said.
 oGv. Gruening also called to attention that regulations per taining to late registration make it compulsory that, Every per son subject to registration who for any reason failed to register on the day fixed by the President for his registration must present himself for and submit to regis tration before a local board"
 This means, "the Governor em phasized, that every person sub ject to registration on January P, l941, or July l, 1941 must register if he has not already done so," Governor Gruening de- clared.
 Violation of the regulations may cause delinquent to be penalized by fine or imprison- ment or both, it is pointed out.

Preference Given Mining g Equipment

E. R. Stettinls. Jr.. OPM dir ector of prior;ties. issued an or der effective July 29. giving a prefererce rating of A-3 on mat erials for production of mining machinery for underground and open-cut production of coal or snv materials produced with a view to extracting their metal lie content.
 The issuance of this order, sorelv needed by the mining in- dustrv. culminates several months of effort by the American Mining Congress in cooperation with mining men over the entire nation. A former priority order was issued early last month cov- ering current repair and main- tenance items needed to maintain uninterrupted production which applies to all branches of mining and quarrying including non-met allie minerals.
 The new order should do much to solve a problem which has been becoming constantly more acute and will permit continued and increased production of min- erals fundamental to our defense effort.

Governor Lauds New Air Base

 q was greatly impressed with the speed and efficiency with which this field was completed. 5 Governor Gruening declared. "1t is major demonstration of the efficiency of army engineers"
 "The new Yakutat air base, ' the Governor continued, "provid es Alaska with a splendid air field, not only for military pur- poses, but commercially it will furnish an important link in a coastwise air service which 1 hope to see established in the near future. This service would enable people of Southeast Al aska to travel to Cordova, Val deg, Anchorage or Seward with out flying first into Fairbanks, which is so much out of their way"
 Virtually completed in all its details the new Yakutat field has all main runways concerted.
