Radio Operators Censured.

Some of the seagoing naval radio
operators have become too greatly in
terested in short wave transmission
and have been censured by department
al chiefs. The particular offense seems
to have been in seeking to communi-
cate with amateurs on short wave
which is forbidden.
Although naval operators may listen
in all they please on the short waves,
unauthorized transmission would pre-
clude the use of the vessels regular
radio apparatus, or at least interfere
with the handling of official traffic.
The ruling says that private trans
mission is not permitted from any

WOMEN MUST USE
HUSBAND NAMES
.SuffiCient Reasons" Needed
for Askinn Copyrights in
Maize Names.

A married woman writer or COM
poser applying for copyrights for her
works still will have to append the
surname of her husband to her maiden
name in making out an application
for registration of a copyright claim,
Anless she can give sufficient rea-
sons" for using merely her maiden
name. according to a carefully phrased
ruling handed down yesterday by
Thorvald Solberg, register of copy
rights.
This decision, which is but a re-
iteration of a policy which Mr.. Sol
berg said had been in vogue in the
copyright office for many years, was
made in rejecting the pleas of dele
cation representing the National
Woman's Party that the regulations
lie altered to permit married women
the privilege. without restriction, of
filing copyright claims in their maiden
names.
For nearly two hours the Woman's
Party committee, headed by Miss
Mabel Vernon, national executive
secretary. argued that married women
legally are not required to adopt their
husbands names for any purpose. but
Register Solberg automatically de-
clared that while he believed in wom-
his duties as register of copyrights.
Not Opposed to Rights.
1T is not my duty" he told the
delegation, ito enter into considera-
ton of your legal principles. / am not
opposed to them-my wife for years
has been active in the woman'S move
ment-but here my obligation is to
make an honest effort to see that
claimants formalize applications that
are intelligent, identifiable, legal and
defendable
ut is in the interest Of the applicant
married woman that she take her
husbands name in fling the claim.
While we have no formal rule to that
effect, that is the policy we strive to
follow"
The ruling by Mr.. Solberg, however.
gives a ray of hope to the modern
wing of fenininity, for it leaves the
door open for exceptions to the gen.
eral practice of the office, in cases
where profe ssional and business wom-
en- can give reasons that convince the
register of copyrights that the maiden
name should be used.
Il would say that our office is quite
willing under certain circumstances,
Mr.. Solberg said, ito register a claim
for copyright in the maiden name OF
a married woman when application for
such registration is presented with an
explanation of the reasons why the
author in question desires registration
in her own name"
The Woman's Party delegation also
drew from Mr.. Solberg a denial that
his office Dramatically refused to ac-
cept applications for copyright claims
from married women using their
maiden names.
''It is not a rule of the copyright
Office" he said, that married woman

No Expansion Advised
for 1926 Agriculture

Although the farming industry is
now in the best general position since
1920, any general expansion in pro-
duction this year would tend to place
farmers in a less favorable economic
position that at the present, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture points out
IN its farm outlook report issued Feb
ruary 9Th.
There is little likelihood of increased
domestic and foreign demand for farm
products, the departments says, the
situation indicating a possible decrease
indemand the latter part of the year.
No reduction in farm wages may
be expected, and the cost of farm
equipment will probably remain at
present levels. Sufficient funds will
be available for agricultural credit in
most regions at about the same rates
as in 1925.

Wyoming Corn is of
A Superior Quality

In order to ascertain the feeding
value of Wyoming corn n series of ex-
pcriments have recently been comple,-
ed Mt the Goshen county experiment
farm. Two uniform lots Of pigs were
put on n similar feed ration. the only
difference being the source Of the
corn.. The average gain on Wyoming
corn was 13 per cent greater than on
corn grown in other states.
In the past Ave years Wyoming's
corn acreage has increased nearly l25
per cent. This fact is resulting in
farmers having corn not only for their
stock feeding operations but also a
surplus for sale. Many stcckmen Of
Wyoming did not know the high feed
ing value of corn and have been buy
