CATCALLS FADE FOR SOURPUSS HAL. By JACK STINNETT AP Features’ Writer WASHINGTON, June .19.—! about time we déyoted: mor than a passing mention, to retary of the Interj re Ickes. , , Something has hay ened to this one-time bull's- of the New Deal.

A good! long while, certainly — and there’s the reason. I don’t mean that there’s any; move on to defy Ickes.

The work of Ickes’ Bureau of Mines and Geological Survey in the development of mining and processing of metals is a good, | fat book in itself.

They would work, of course, with state and to- cal organizations already operat- ing. National headquarters of the division would make reports ev- ery three months to Congress to show what progress is being made. eee The federation and several oth- er organizations are, ot course, thumping the drum pretty hard to see that the bill goes through In view of manpower problems, it is difficult to’ understand what objections there would be to it— at least for the duration. However, for some strange reason, there has been a lot of bei passing here on federal andling of the problem. While ‘some states and smaller organiza- j tions have been very active, the federation’s figure that only 92,- 000 have been placed is evidence that little has been accomplished.

The law as passed provides: All persons operating u corperated basi- ness or professions under any name but their own proper or known called names, must register this “fictitious” trade name with the cler- of the circuit court in the county where the principal place of busi- ness is located. 2. A fee of $1.00 is charged for this registra tion. 3. Furthermore, the names of ail persons in- terested, and the extent te which they are interested must be registered as well. 4. Penalty for non-compliance denies any == registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit m any court in this state, either as plaintiff or defendant, and it further provides that any person violating this law regarding registration is liable te having an im formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name, and on conviction of such charge shall be liable te 2 fine of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, or beth 5. Before registration can be made. such i> tention to register must be advertised at least ence a week for four (4) consecutive weeks im a newspaper as defined by law in the county where the registra tion is made. This law applies to Apartments, Hotels, Fileg Stations, Cabin Courts, or business of any kind «= cept such as are operated under the name of the owner. Lawyers generally agree that the term= “proper or called name™ as used in the law would be like this example: Suppose you are one of the camernns Jones family. Suppose your proper name is “Joke Fdward Jones.” but your called name is “J £ JONES.” Unless your business is actually operated under one or the other of these names you would be required to register.
