safe was open but the strong box was
locked, which the thief opened with a
key. found on a ring suspended from a

TWO HOMES, TWO NAMES
FOR THESE NEWLY WEDS

One OF the most popular topics of
the day in feminine circles is the re,
tanning of her own name by a woman
after marriage. Many women fail to
consider a marital alliance, because
they feel that to a certain degree their
personality is snutfed out after a we'd
ding. The laws OF the nation provide
that a woman may retain her maiden
name after marriage providing she
makes the fact known.
In metropOlises thruOut the country
numerous instances are on record
where professional women who have
launched on promising careers before
undertaking marriage have retained
their own name A day or two ago

MOUNTAIN PREACHER DIES
AFTER FASTING FROM MAY IS
Preacher Said That Angel Would
Come From Heaven to Accompany
Him on Trip on Train.

NADIA, Ky, July 20. - Rev. William
Rice, who had voluntarily starved
himself since May 10, is dead as a re-
suit
The burial at graveyard near the
home was attended by one Of the larg-
est crowds ever seen in this section.
Some time before his death, Mr.. Rice
had expressed the conviction that an
angel would be sent to earth to escort
him away ION a train" Later, how
ever, he stated that he had lost hope
that his departure would be thus sig
nalized. He had also said great
storm would mark his leaving. This
did not materialize, either.
Mr.. Rice said this week he had CIV
en- up hope taht life would be left to
him if he did not take food, but still he
refused to eat. The only sustenance
he had had since his voluntary starva-
ton began had been water.
He had expressed desire to visit
a graveyard before his death. but his
condition was such that he could not
be taken from his home. He died firm
in the belief that he had done right in
refusing to partake of food.
