ance as the special House committee

This bid, described by Mr.. Lloyd as
compromise between government

the lease Of the Muscle Shoals prop
erty for fifty years and other pro-
visions somewhat similar to the Ford
offer, including the manufacture of
nitrate. This offer would provide for

See the
Feast of
Bargains
In Our
Windows

The House of Berberich has been identified
with shoe business of Washington for more than
S. years. and in all that time can truthfully
say that never have seen sale like this
where shoe store places 100000 stock on the
market at ii and Il off regular prices, and with
out reservations or restrictions of any kind.
This is stock made up of the finest quality
nationally known shoes made in this country
The reason for this drastic move is as fol-
lows: Our present 9TH Street Store, with its 60
foot frontage and 1OO-foot depth, was too large
for semi-neighborhood store. At present it
takes III street numbers lilo to 1l22.
We have just completed the sale Of 1l22 and
must vacate the premises within very short
time. It is necessary then, that we reduce our
stock as quick possible-so as to turn 1l22
over to the purchasers.

WONEN,S NAlfE.S

The question whether a married woman can legal
ly use her name, rather than her husbands NAV
be settled far the service concerned
by the ruling of Comptroller General McCarl. When
women cannot draw their salaries without signing their
husbands names, they will sign their husbands
What's in name, that should make any government
employee martyr? But whether the question is
settled legally and universally is different question
Says the comptroller THE law in this country
that wife takes the surname of the husband is we'll
settled that the domice of the wife mergeS in the
domicile of the husband wife might reside apart
from her husband, but so long she remains his law
full wife she has but legal domcile and that the
donicie of her husband.
sSoit is with the name She may have an assum-
ed name, but she has but one laga name."
Ruth Hale, head of the Lucy Stone League in New
York, disputes this statement She accuses Mr.. Nc
Carl of going off haf-cocked," and says:
There great many court decisions proving
that persons name is legalized by his choice.
There is no decision to support Mr.. NIcCar
ried woman used to have the citizenship her
husband. That changed about year and half
ago.
"The argument that the custom of a married
mans of her husbands name has been uncontested
and is therefore accepted as law cannot be used,
women have contested their right to their
names every year for years. 1t goes back far
1871 to decision of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin,
which states this right
SO the controversy is on, fiercely than ever.
The legal merits of the position taken by Mrs. Ruth
Hale Broun-if an oldfashioned person may presume
to speak of her thus-are hard for the public Judge
One thing sure, though, from common-sense view
point: 1t makes heap of confusion In business and
cal relations when Mrs insists masQuesrading
as Miss or leaving the situation doubtful by
avoiding both prefixes.
