GREAT BRITAIN REQUIRES ALL
BUSINESS FIRMS SHALL REGISTER
TITLES-EFFORT TO AVOID FRAUD
LONDON. — Great britain has
taken a great step forward in business
1 onesty.
Primarily a war thu regis
tration of business names act. which
has just gone into full effect, will also
prove an improtant protection to the
public in time of peace.
Leading American business men
here are watching the workings o4 the
bill with great inerest, and nianv or
them believe a similar measure could
be enacted by American st s with
great benefit.
In a nutshell, the new act prevent*?
persons doing business under fictiti
ous or misleading names. It is. of j
course, directed against persons of
German ancestry who are still in busi- !
ness here from deceiving the public,
but it has a much wider application.
Individuals trading under their true
names are not required to register,
except where they have changed their
names. In the latter case they must
register, whether using their prossent
or their previous names.
Furthermore, if the business desig-,
nation contains anything except real
names of persons (and the word suc-(
oessor) the concern must register.
For instance: .L'hn Jones may
trade as “Jones. “J. Jones, “John
* Jones” or “Jone>>. sucessor to brown,
without registering, but Jones trad-’
ing as “Jones & Go., or as “Jones s
must register. A similar rule applies
to partnerships.
calls for the business name, the gen
eral nature of the business, the prin
cipal place of business, the present
and anv former Christian name and
surname of the proprietor or partners,
their nationality, and in some cases
their nationality or origin, their usual
j residence and business occupation and
; other details. The registrar issues a
certificate, which must be exhibted at
the firm’s headquarters.
Firms required to register must
state,on trade catalogues, business
letters and the like the present and
any former names of the proprietors
or partners* their nationality, if not
British, and their nationality of ori
gin.
Registration may be refused to
firms whose names contain the word
“British.” if the registrar considers
the word misleading.

There are certain exceptions t > the
mxvssity or registering, such as a
woman who has changed her name by
m .*riage, and persons who have av
. oil titles. A weakness ot the law
.«-e*ns to lie in the provision that ir
, *;i rated companies do not have
register unless acting as nominee or
t*i s4*e for some one else, or as gen*
oral agent for a foreign firm. It* the
company is acting as general agent
*or an overseas party or as nominee
or trustee, the principal as well as the
agent must register.
The requirements on registering are
very full. The blank to be tilled out

SUICIDE HANGS FOUR
YEARS ON A TREE
GLOBE, Ariz.—Within a short dis
tance of a well traveled highway the
body of a suicide swung to and fro in
a tree for four years before the
tragedy was discovered lately.
O. V. Clark, a rancher, nine mile.
from Globe, found the body. Whil*'
hunting he was attracted by an odd
appearing object, dimly discernible
tlirough the foliage of a large tree.
The jumble of bones was inclosed in
a rough suit of clothes.
In the pockets were found a cheap
watch, a bunch of rusty keys and a
newspaper, which bore the date of
1012.
