SMALL HELP GIVEN
.WOMAN'S NEW DEAL
Non-CommittaI Views on Pro-
posaI to Retain Own Names
After Marriage.

NEW YORK, March 12-Governors
and college presidents refuse to be-
come excited over the objects of the
Lucy Stone League. to permit women
to retain their own names after mar
riage instead of taking those OF their
husbands.
A non-committal attitude was as
sumed in letters and kilograms from
prominent men all over the country,
which were read last night at the
annual dinner of the league.
Gov. Smith of New York said the
question was open and sent copy
of his message to the legislature to
prove that he hadn't committed nm
self on the subject.
siIxer "ToO Busy
Gov. Silzer of New Jersey said he
was too busy to give the proposal
serious thought" and Gov. Donahey
of Ohio was of the opinion that IT
was more or less a personal matter.
Gov. Mcleod of South Carolina said
he saw mo virtue" in the Leagues s
plans Gov. Templeton of connectl-
cut said he thought it was problem
for the individual rather than the
community as a whole.
One name in the family is enough.
wrote Gov Russell Of Mississippi.
Among the educators the following
opinions were expressed:
Henry Pratt Judson. University of
Chica go-Not interested personally.
Glad my own wife is willing to use
my name"
Alex c. Humphreys. Stevens 1nsti-
tute of Technology-No strong opln-
ion on the subject.

Uncle Sam Would Curb Dances
And Po,v,Uo,us Among Indians

An educational campaign designed
to curb the growing tendency of cer-
tain Indian tribes to devote their
time to ceremonial meetings, pow
pows and dances has been UNDER
taken by the bureau of Indian affairs.
Circular letters, sent to all Indian
agents, giving the details and scope
of the campaign. has led to the erro-
neous impression in some sections that
it was intended to ban the tribal
dances, Commissioner Charles H.
Burke said, but he denied that the
bureau had any such intention.
"The move is directed against a
growing evil among certain tribes OF
the northwest country which the
government has just succeeded in in
