STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ON BOARD u. s. S. RICHMOND,
REYkJAvIK HARBOR, Iceland. Aug
ust 13 (via reless).-Determined to
end of this month if it is humanity
possible, the American round-the-
world flyers. now making ready for
their long delayed hop to Angmag-
salik, Greenland. have decided to cut
at least one proposed stop out of the
remainder of their itinerary, and
others may be eliminated later.
After successfully making the
crossing from Angmagsalik to 1vig-
tut. Lieut.. Lowell Smith will set a
straight course to Cartwright Harbor.
Labrador, thus chopping the stop at
Indian Harbor from his prepared
chart. Hawkes. Bay, Newfoundland,
and Pictou Harbor, Nova Scotia, will
be the next landing places before the
flyers circle into the United States
and drop upon home soil for the first
time, at Boston.
Lieut.. Smith pointed out today that
Cartwright Harbor is only 40 miles
further than Indian Harbor. BY
dropping the latter stop, with Incl
dent delays there and possibility
of bad weather setting in. he believes
at least part of the time lost at Reyk-
javik can be made up, and that he
and his companions may reach the
United States the latter part of this
month.

cludes his decision as follows: The
law in this country :hat a wife takes
the surname of her husband is as
well settled as that the domicile of
the wife merges in the domicile of
the husband. A wife might reside
apart from her husband, but so long
as she remains his lawful wife she
has but one legal domicile and that is
the domicile of the husband. So it is
with the name. She may have an as
sumed name, but she has but one
legal name. The separate legal Ell
tity of the wife is not so generally
recognized as to accept the maiden
name rather than the surname of the
husband. 1t is today the main dis
tinction between a single woman and
a married woman ard such fact in
the past has appeared upon the pay
rolls. There appears no valid reason
why it should not so continue and the
pay roll should state the fact oc-
cordingly.''
The decision Is viewed by Interior
Department officials as far-reaching
in view of the fact that marriages
in the Government service in Wash
ington alone will probably average
at least two a day. For the past 30
days, marriages in the Interior De-
partment have averaged one a. day.
