President Coolidge and Secretary
Of War Weeks today were formally
invited to attend as guests OF honor
the international polo matches be.
tween the American and English
Tours at Meadowbrook, Long Island,
beginning September 6. 1t was
thought improbable. however, at
the White House that the Presi-
dent would attend, but Secretary
Weeks promised he would witness
the matches unless stress of Off
cial duties intertered az the. last
minute.
The invitations were extended by
Louis E. Stoddard, of New York,
head of the United States Polo
Association, and Colonel Julian r.
Lindsey, member of the associa-
TONS executive board and War
Department polo representative.
If the President decides later to
accept the invitation, it is not un-
likely that he and the Prince of
Wales will occupy the same box.
Mr.. Stoddard stated that as few
social engagements as possible were
being arranged for the prince dur
ing his short stay in America and
that he would be given as much
time to himself as possible. He
will arrive shortly before August

Stoddard stated and will go at once
TO their practice field on Long

as well as those of the Prince of

more than a week and have gotten
over quarantine and recovered their
land-legs sufficiently to be given
light daily workouts by grooms.

Comptroller General Rules
Wives Must Use Hus-
bands Surnames

Comptroller General j. r. McCarl
today gave a back-handed slap TO
the Lucky Stone League, the organ.
ization Of married women whose
members insist on retaining their
maiden names.
In ruling to the Secretary of
the Interior, Comptroller General
,McCarl insisted that married women
employees Of the Government must
use their husbands surnames.
"A wife might reside apart from
her husband, but so long as she
remains his lawful wife, she mas
but one legal domicile, and that is
the domicile of the husband" the
ruling reads.
so it is with the name. She
may have an assumed name, but
she has but one legal name.
THE separate legal entity Of the
wife is not so generally recognized
a. to accept the maiden name,
rather than the surname of the
husband"
The question was raised by a
woman employee of st. Elizabeth's
Hospital. She was married in May
1924. Her name was changed on
the hospitals pay roll, but she has
refused to sign her married name
to the roll. Her attorney notified
the hospital authorities that she
wished to retain her maiden name.
She will not be allowed to do so,
according to Mr.. McCarl.
