No Mere Census Handle But a Social Voucher,
 Says Prof. Levitt.

Miss Elsie Hill. chairman of the executive committee of the National Women's party. was married in Chi cago on December 24 to Albert Levitt, professor of law at the University of North Dakota. Miss Hill immediate ly afterward stated that she would retain her maiden name as a means Of continuing her own identity.
 By PROF. ALBERT LEVITT
 Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 3G.-Ths name of person is a part of his so- cial existence. It indicates him as an individual and characterizes him as a personality. As an individual it marks lin off from others and as a personality it gives him his social ,,o- sition-. The personality aspect of a name is more important than the in dividual aspect. It indicates who and what this particular individual is
 To introduce a person as Miss Ad- ams or Mrs. E. H. Sothern means little, but to introduce Maud Adams and Julia Marlowe means a trelnen- dous Tot. Miss Adams connotes noth- ing, but Maade Adams connotes at once Peter Pan and all the delights of fairyland. Mrs. E. H. Sothern may be anyb body, but Julia MarIowe Is Rosalind and Beatrice. and Viola and Lady Macbeth, and all the magic of Shakespeare.
 Name Is Trade Mark
 In the same way ony one who has achieved to any degree of prominence
 
 any ideal or social advance has given to his or her name a character and flavor which is more than a mere handle for census purposes. It is a trade mark, 8 stock in trade and 8 characterization The law recognizes this as such and protects it. It is a tangible property, and the right to the name is a tangible property right That is why the law has always aid that persons name is whatever he wishes it to be, and that name will be protected if any one tries 70 do violence to it.
 Any name is Q part of the human being that bears it. It means socla. relationships, intellectual capacities and spiritual contacts. To deprive a person of his name is to deprive him of that part of his identity which in- dicates these relationships. capaci- ties and contacts. This may result in temporary or permanent social baniShment.

Blind" Subject of
 Dr. Days Sermon

Bartimaeus, the beggar, knew thai he was blind. He knew that he need ed light; and in that particular, he was better off than some people blind 6ed by e. deeper blindness. He felt 1t was useless, helpless, a. burden in the community. There was one tremen- dous desire in his heart-that he might receive his sight. But back of this bIidnsess, there is one far more terrible and prevalent, the blindness of the spirit. People are often un- aware of such blindness. Having eyes, they see not" Having their understanding darkened, because of the blindness of their hearts" St. Paul discovered that the inability to understand spiritual and moral things was like the loss of the sight.
 Blindness Of heart confronts all of us We are not necessarily totally blind but out hearts are darkened by reason of selfish desires and we are not willing to see the truth as it is. There are those who know their need and for all such there is hope The only hopeless man is he who has been blinded and does not know it. We must find the glory and the beauty of the spirit Some have found their way to him and some have failed. The light of the world is Jesus" For that purpose He came, that all might understand. \ Jesus had eyes to see what most men have never seen; and He comes to give that capacity for sight to those who wish to see

ELSIE HILLS HUSBAND TELLS WHY
 SHE WILL KEEP HER MAIDEN NAME

tablfsh himself under a name other than one which he formerly had. IF. F. A." can go anywhere in the United States and meet with a glad welcome
 IF. P. Az but Franklin P. Adams would have a hard time getting a check cashed in many places ia this country of ours. Tetrazzinf can meet (what is TetrazZfnis married name, anyway?) would have to go through all kinds of antics to explain who she was before she could meet these ss mo people. The name of a person is often his passport, his safe conduct ard his; social voucher.
 A married woman is no different from a single woman. She is the as she was five minutes before. What sver powers. attainments and relations she had before she married remain intact. But as soon as YOU take her maiden name away and give her the name of her husband you are lifting her bodily out of her previous existence ana putting her into a diff ferent universe. She has to create ? new existence or else go through all kinds of activities to let people know that she is the same person she was tefore she married As a personality she literally vanishes until sae re- establishes her contacts with her for nner associates, because the index to that personality is destroyed. A new index has to be attached and a cross reference published.
 Economic Disadvantage
 Furthermore, if the women who marries decides to carry on the art. or science, or business which she was conducting before marriage, making her take her husbands name is put ting difficulties in the way of her ac- tivities. If things need to be done rapidly and an unknown name makes things go slowly then there is a de- cided economic disadvantage in talk ing the unknown name.
 Marriage ought not to destroy the identity of the woman. Marriage is aas I see it an economic, mental and spiritual partnership, within which two human beings are meant to grow and develop. Neither party really merges in the other. Each is a means to the expansion of the other. Com munity of interests, ideas ana ideals are established, but the personality of neither is wiped out. If the premari- tai contracts of the parties to the marriage were of the proper kind then they should be retained after marriage. If taking 8 new name op- crates to cut off these contacts or to make difficult their maintenance per- sona1ity may be injured and the mar riage status impaired New York World.

g GUT FORGED
 IN COAL BY
 NEW PLAN
Cooperative c o m pa ny Blaming Retailers For High Prices, Eliminates MiddIemen.
(By International News servfce.)

(By International News Service.)
 Chicago. Jan. 30-Retail coal deal CTS are responsible for prevailing high prices of coal, according to F. F. Kel- Indiana Pocahontas Mining Company, cooperative direct from the mines'' coal producing and selling company. MT. Kelsey says his company is out to show that coal can be produced and disposed of to the consumer at much cheaper prices than prevail at present.
 MT. Kelsey said that in the last ten days he had shipped coal from the mines in the Ayrshire district in Southern Indiana to towns in North western Indiana and that retail deal CTS immediately cut their prices $2 a ton.
 Blame for high prices can not be put on the coal operator, the miner or the railroad" said MT. Kelsey.
 The operators are making only about fifteen to twenty-five cents a ton on coal in Indiana, the high the railroad freight rate for coal is not in any sense excessive.
 Responsibility Is Placed.
 T have just had two instances of where, in my opinion, the responsi- bility for high prices can be laid. I shipped coal from Southern Indiana to the towns of St. Joseph and Ben- ton Harbor in Michigan. adver- IlSeo LndI my coal would be sold for SC a ton on the track or s7 a ton delivered. The retail dealers were charging $13 a ton and, although, there was no change in the markee price, they immediately cut their prici $2 ton, which was still high. Thl- is an indication of who is getting the big profits"
 MT. kelsey's method of co-opera- tive coal dealing is as follows: A number of miners get together, form a company and lease mine, paying the owner twenty-five cents ton royalty on all coal taken out. Kelsey acts as manager and looks after the disposal of the coal, his share being identical with that of the individual miner. Each man, regardless of work. shares alike. The managers share is the same as the coal digger's share.
 Miners Strike Forecast.
 The Pere Marquette Railroad, ac- cording to Kelsey, is helping him es- tabliSh coal yards at various places where he Is endeavoring to establish permanent markets.
 In Kelsey's opinion the coal miners of the country will strike on April 1 the date on which the miners and The operators, he said, intend to cut wages.
 The men will strike if either of two things happen-if their pay is reduced or if the check-of system is eliminated. said Kelsey. "'EIimina- ton of the check-on system would cripple the miners union. Unionfsrn with the miners is a religion. If they strike they will be hard to beat, as cracker, if he has to, as he can on ham,"

 Weygandt was for two years head of the permit division of the C1eve- land office charged with enforcement of Federal trohibition.

 He advocated abolition of the elastic or annual permit He declared that he believed it was through the abuse of these annual permits that the greater part of the illicit a1co- ho1 reached the hands of bootleg gers.

 Bootleggers operating on a whole sale scale get control of some busi- ness, that legally would require the use of large quantities of grain a1co- hol, Weygandf said. This legal use. however, is frequently only a. blind to cover the real operations of the bootlegger de luxe, who, by doctor
