United States Controller-Gen-
eral McCarl has ruled that a mar
ried woman employed by the gov
eminent must use the surname of
her husband when she signs the
payroll. "The law of this country
that a wife take the surname of
the husband" he says, is as well
settled as that the domicile of the
wife merges in the domicile of the
husband. She may have an
assumed name, but she has only
one legal name"

.WOMAN'S PARTY
 SEEKS CANDIDATE
Only Six Women NOmina- ted In IS Recent
 Primaries

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Leaders of the National Woman's party are can wasting every state in the union for possible women candidates for congress, it has been announced at headquarters here. ..
 The need for this campaign is shown, according to Miss Alice Paul, vice pres ident, by the results of primary cleo tions in 15 states, in which only six women have been nominated, and all of these in three states.
 Tn Illinois, one woman. Mary Ward Hart, of Benton, H., was nominated for congresswoman at large, on the Democratic ticket" Miss Paul said. "In Nebraska, one woman, Luella Barton, has received a nomination on the pro- hibition ticket-for the First Congress sional district
 "In Pennsylvania, four women have been nominated: The democratic par ty has nominated Jessie Collett, of Phil adelphia, for the Second Congressional district; the socialist party has nomi- mated Jennie Dorribaum, of Philadel- phia, for the Third district; the pro- hibition party has nominated Anna Van Skite. of Norristown for the Ninth district and Elizabeth Culbertson, of Meadville for the Twenty-ninth.
 These primary results show that woman will not be elected to this com ing congressst through the interest of any political party. They will be elected only if women themselves determine that woman shall be in congress, and organize an effective campaign to put them there."

 SOVIET RECIPROCITY

MOSCOW, July 21.-Premier Her riot of France has reiterated his in tention of re-estabilishing relations with the soviet government, but has entered mild protest against what he con- siders a lack of cooperation toward such establishment.
 In note to Foreign Minister Tchit- cherin, just made public, Herriot points to his recent statement in the French chamber announcing that he proposed to restore normal relations between the two countries. Meanwhile Herriot has issued instructions permitting Russians to enter France, the note says, but the soviet is not facilitating the entry of Frenchmen into Russia.
 "I hope the soviet government will take steps similar to mine to facilitate settlement, with which will deal as soon as I return from London" the HerriOt note continues.
 In reply, Tchitcherin has promised to cooperate, but he points out that diff culties regarding passports have been due to the absence of formal relations between the two countries, for which he says the soviet is not resonsible.

ROME, July 21.-Collars less than three inches from the neck, sleeves which extend at least three inches below the elbow and skirts that are not more than seven inches from the ground-these are the tentative sepci- fications for the dresses which will substitute modesty for modishness in the effort to win the dress medal to be awarded by Pope Plus.
 Competition, for the medal which the pope will bestow has opened with keen rivalry among the women of the various Italian dioceses:
 Following the recent announcement of the Papal offer, the young wom- ems Catholic union of Italy has in- augurated spirited, nationwide con- test for the medal. This will be awarded to the diocese which; first, reports the most members correctly dressed and, second, submits the best dress design in the cause of modesty. Executives of theSlocal unions will constitute the judges who name the winning diocese.
 Sketches are now being prepared for the new frock. These suggest dresses that follow the simplest lines, but without necessarily being uni form in character. Besides the speci- fications enumerated above, it has been decided that all designs must adhere to the simple waist and skirt. So far there has been no suggestion of supplying a popular one-piece

 ion of the supreme court justices on constitutional questions.
 Opinions Rendered
 The opinion furnished by the five justices of the supreme court stated:
 "The undersigned justices are of the opinion that Section 213 of the con- stitution of 1901 has no application to the act carrying into effect the con- stitutional amendment relative to the harbor or seaport improvement.
 "We think that this question was, in effect, settled by the opinion of a majority of the justices reported in the 209 Alabama 593.
 "The question there arose, that not withstanding Section 93 was amended by the port amendment so as to au- thoriZe the state to engage in internal improvement, Section 213 had not been modified or repealed so as to authorize the state to incur any indebtedness ex- cept for the purpose and in the man. ner there designated. We were then of the opinion, and so expressed ourselves, that while the amendment made no ex- press reference to Section 213 of the constitution. that there was a conflict or repugnancy and q repeal or amend ment by necessary implica tion of said Section 213 as to exclude therefrom the special or excepted subject dealt with in the amendment. In other words, Section 213 was left to deal with and control the general subject dealt with, except the one excluded from it's operation by the port amend ment. The amendment authorizes the legislature, by appropriate laws, to put the sar1eI into effect, and no special mention being made as to methods or the necessary vote, the general consti- tutional provisions control, and a com plance with the requirements of Sec tion 213 was not necessary.
 We think that this response renders it unnecessary to answer your second inquiry"

 When the approval form of dress is decided upon. members of the young women's Catholic union will take an oath before the virgin, promising to dress. correctly both inside and out side of the church. The general form fo the oath will be:
 'We propose never to adopt any manner of dress displeasing to thee. This means upon every occasion. Even when the devil tempts and sug- gests we pass the limits of holy mod esty, we will remember our promise to thee"
