WOMEN IDENTITY
TO BE PRESERVED

At last women are breaking into the
city directory. 1t is happening in Sc
attic in a suffrage State. The Seattle d.
rectory for 1912 is being compiled with a
wife's named listed in parenthesis imme-
dIately after her husbands. This will
make 1t possible in Seattle to find Mary
Smith even though married. Elsewhere
she gets unutterably lost as Mrs. John
Smith or Mrs. James Smith or Mrs
Somebody Else Smith. who. of course.
is equally as likely to be Elizabeth
Smith or Jane Smith or Mary Smith.
In these days. when every woman bears
her own name as well as her husbands,
why can't directory makers everywhere
let her into their pages? Social and
business usages, to say nothing OF women
themselves. would thereby be served.

Washington would unquestionably be
abreast Of the fashion and would have
free motion picture shows in its gov
eminent parks. II Congress were not SC
parsimonious in drawing up Its District
appropriation bills. The plan has met
with approval from all sides. but Con-
gress stands In the way of the project.
For II is not likely that a body of
economists will appropriate sou for
Il ee "photoplay' performances. when II
will not give the municipality enough
policemen to insure the best protection
of its residents and their property.
The plan is to hold the motion pic
ti:re shows in the various parks OF the
city upon a schedule somewhat similar
to that for the public band concerts a
show would be held every evening In
some part OF the city. The cost would
be smalI-not more than SO for each
performance.
THE plan appeals to me- said DIR.
