man would not receive a. baIlDt at
election by giving her maiden name
under which she had registered.
It's Custom. Not Law.
What seems to be the matter with
our common sense" Mrs. Monroe
said. The taking of mans name
by a bride is a custom. but it is not
compulsory by law that she do so
There would be no crime Committed
upon the franchise of this country if q
woman were married and would ap-
pear before the voting board under
her own name"
1T would be the most 'honsensicaI
thing imaginable if all weddings
within the state of Kansas for the last
week in october had to be postponed
if the bride should not want TO lose
her vote-for the sake of an absurd
ruling from the registration office"
Mrs Monroe declared.
The registration books close October
%. From that date until election day
November 2, no one may register. 1t
would be impossible for women who
marry within that week to re-register,
were it necessary to do so to make
her vote legal.

The view that a married woman
cannot vote under her maiden name is
firmly held by the city clerks office.
from the city clerk as vigorously as
she did the city clerks effort to make
all women give their exact ages in
registering. The age controversy
ended VIGOROUSLY for Mrs Monroy5
Mrs. w. A. McCarter and a group OF
other prominent women who said that
"oyer. II" was sufficient for any voter
to stdte when asked age at registra-
ton.
IF man makes a win and leaves
an estate to an unmarried daughter
and property descends to her after
marriage, does she forfeit her in
heritance because her married name
was not mentioned in the will?" Mrs.
Monroe asks.
Women wEo worked for the ballot
went thru too much to submit to los
ing that franchise at this time on SO
silly pretext. Registration laws and
orders are not made to test how much
woman may love her prospective
husband" Mrs. Monroe said. There's
no reason in the world why she can't
be married after the closing of the
registration books containing her
maiden name, and be entitled to vote
under her maiden name"

NEW YORK, August IT, Go
DaI as-ward, young man-if you are
seeking surcease from the High Cost
of Living. For Dallas, Texas, today
is fighting the most successful bat
tie against upward trend of prices
It is the cheapest living city in the
United States, out of twenty-six in
which the United Press obtained
figures on common commodities of
living.
k-ad strange to say, the lnvestiga-
ton showed New York is not the
highest priced town in the country
as usually painted by visitors and
natives themselves. 1t does run a
close second to the honor, how
ever. but New Haven wins first
place.
o. August 1 last the United Press
asked groccrs, housewives, ice deal
ers, ccal dealers, dairy men, ETC., in
twenty-six cities of the United
States and Canada for retail price
quotations for that day on fourteen
commodities that go largely to make
up a days living. The articles
quoted were as follows: sugar, flour.
butte eggs, milk, potatoes, roast
beef, Ram, veal, sirlion, pork chops,
lamb. ice and coal.
To arrive at basis for comparison
SO tlat it could be determined which
Is t.le costliest city to live in, the
prizes per pound, dozen, or ton, as
the case may be, were tcta!.cd fer

key to. the c1ty's costliness or cheap
ness.

modities for Dallas was $15.97, while
fer Nea- Haven, Conn, it was s34O8,
