country of OurS.
The married-name muddle is one
of the most confusing social
phenomena Of the day in New York.
The city is running over with the
divorces who have retained the APP
pelation Of Mrs so that the new
acquaintance never knows whether
she will offend a woman by asking
her to dinner without her husband
or look foolish by including the
man, who may have passed out Of
his ex-wife's life some fifteen years
before.
Present System Most Confusing
There is the problem of the Lucy
Stone wife, whom you have been
lured by the Miss" into consider
ing a spinster and an extra woman
until she stumps YOU by producing
a husband There is the working
woman who is Mas" to her office
associates and Mrs to her sOcia!
friends But the most confusing
of all the married-name miXups is
that which results when a wife is
well known under a name which
her obscure husband does not share.
There are dozens of women in
New York who had attained some
business or professional success, be-
for their present marriage, under
a name which has become valuable
to them as a trademark. Sometimes
it is their maiden name, sometimes
n If cnr1iov~ hrrchoV,d
And tr yto get them to give it up!
Try, too, to call the husband of
such a woman by the name she
uses and which you innOcently
thought she got from him-just
try it! You will get a look cutting
GOODNESS.
For they are a touchy and senSi-
tive tribe, these husbands of women
who are in the limelight. and moth
ing hurts their feelings so much as
the suggestion that they are mere
appendages to the wives fame. It
is a remarkable husband who can
gracefully accept the fact that ne is
known to much of the world as
the famous Jane Does husband.
State of Mind Needs Correction
Now, this is an extremely childish
and sullen attitude, and the sooner
men get over it the better. There
is nothing about marriage which
should make its partners COMPETE
tors in a race to see which can pile
up money or notOriety before the
other. There is nothing ignOminouS
to a mans pride in the fact that
his wife is a success-he ought to
be proud of her, as he would GER
tainly expect her to be of him if
the laurels so to speak, were on the
other brow.
The rational husband must surely
see that there is nothing unmanly
about being outstripped by his wife
in her Specialty-his attention has
been riveted, presumably, upon his
own, and he can not hope to be
at the head of every profession, you
know.
If it happens that a wOman's
name is better known to the public
than a mans, well, what is the dis
grace in his assuming it at marri-
age? For a husband and wife to
share the same name is nothing but
a convenience in social relationships.
Surely the modern man is a force
full enough personality to remain
an individual even if he loses the
name to which he was born: women
have been turning the trick for a
long. long time.

Solution to Precious
Contract Problem
BY w. E. MKENNEY

NTHEN the first trick can be
w won in either hand, don't
become careless and think that it
makes no difference simply because
you have entries in both hands.
You may have a flnesse to take,
and, if it fails, the other opponent
may start a new suit, which might
spell defeat for your contract.
Decide carefully where to win the
first trick-not only from the view
point of entries. but from the angle
as to whether you wish your oppo-
nents to continue the suit or switch
to another.

STRIKE P|CKETS
CALLED OFF

BRIDGETON, N. j., July 10
QN.S0.-Pending the outcome Of
an intended peace conference,
strikers at the Seabrook Farm to-
day ceased picketing for the first
time in 16 days.
A joint conference got under
way among John A. Moffat, Fed
eral mediator; strike leaders,
Charles F. Seabrook, owner Of the
farm, and Thomas w. Holland, Of
the New Jersey regional labor
board.
Special policemen remained on
guard behind the fences Of the
farm.
The strikers did not interfere
with the work Of six cultivators
being used on the farm, and oeets
were permitted to be loaded on
six large trucks for transportation
to other canneries.
During the height Of the fight
ing peace officers, headed by
Sheriff William L. Brown, ap-
pealed to Gov. A. Harry Moore
to declare martial law. This the
governor refused to do, but he
dispatched reinforcements OF
State troopers to the scene.
In order to break up the riot"
ing yesterday the peace officers
unleashed an attack of gas which
has "sickening" effect on
those against whom it is directed.

would be disqualified in the
marathon.
Judge Cain said:
Criminal court proceedings
are being conducted in the man.

MORE RAIN DUE
IN D, {. TODAY

More rain was forecast for the
District today following the storm
of late yesterday when almost half
an inch of rain fell.
The downpour broke up the first
garden party of the season at the
White House, forcing the 1000 in
vited guests indoors where they
were entertained in the East
Room.
Many Of the guests were
alarmed when a bolt Of lightning
struck a willow tree close to the
Executive Offices, splitting the
tree 80 feet from the ground and
tearing off bark and small
branches.
Policeman C. S. Kalin had
taken shelter under a nearby tree,
and was showered with splinters
and pieces Of bark but escaped
injury.

geles apartment together with the
two women.
In his possession was found q
real estate card which bore on the
back Mr.. Gettle's penciled name
and address.
The card bore the name Of M.
w. thinner, q real estate agent in
La CheScenta, and police at once
located him. They described Kirk
to him and thinner recalled hay
ing rented house to a man re-
sembling Kirk. This house was
close by and a squad of police
was assigned to visit it.
Smash Down Door
Breaking in the door, they found
Gettle, bound and gagged. Two
men were with him. Police seized
one Of them, who was subse-
quently identified as williams, but
the other slipped out a side door
and fled into the hills.
Kerrigan surrendered to the po-
lice in Los Angeles a few hours
later and was identified as the
man who fled from the house.
La CreScenta, where Mr.. Gettle
was found, is about 20 miles north
Of the Arcadia Ranch from where
Mr.. Gettle was kidnapped Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Gettle was taken to the Hall
OF Justice in downtown Los An
geles to supply the police with in
formation that they nope will pro-
vide an alright case against the
kidnaperS.
He said but little as he en-
tered the police rooms. He had
been given dark glasses to pro-
tect his eyes, because, he ex-
planned, he had been blindfolded
since his kidnapping on Wednes-
day at midnight and his eyes
were weakened.
Harry Brewster, deputy sheriff,
who led the raiders that found
Gettle, said he deployed his men
in a fan shape when he located
the kidnap apartment. He said:
"The boys scattered. AS they
did I ran toward the front door
and heard ]. C. Southland, of
the district attorneys office,
cry: I've got one of them

This was Mr.. Gettle. He was
bound and gagged. Deputy Brew

said later:

Police said Kirk had been sus-
pected in a recent robbery and
that a dictaphone had been in,

PHILADELPHIA, May Is GIN.
S.J-Men and issues we're flung
on the altar of public opinion to-

tramped to the polls throughout
the Commonwealth in one of the
most exciting and significant pri-
mary elections in the history of
Pennsylvania.
Confronted with a host of cam
didates for nominations, the
States citizens held in their
hands not only the immediate po-
litical fate of Pennsylvania, but
the approval or disapproval Of
the nations New Deal" as well.
In the Republican camp United
States Senator David A. Reed is
striving for denomination on the
strength Of his anti-New Deal
record and is pitted against Gov
ernor clifford Pinchot, staunch
advocate of the Rooseveltian doc
trineS and practices.
Claim 100000 Victory
Managers of the Reed cam
paign declared their candidate
will triumph over the governor by
a statewide majority Of 100000.
Duncan McCallur1, the COVER
nor's secretary, countered the
Reed claims with the assertion
that a survey of all counties tndi-
Gates Pinchot will amaSs a 200, 900
majority over the senator.
It was evident that, while Reed
is depending largely on the con-
servative celebrates of the big
cities where political organization
is we'll grounded, Pinchot relies on
the anthracite and bituminous
coal regions and the agricultural
areas.

A glimpsed automobile license,
a card bearing a real estate

that sent police on the right

clues led, the raiding police
found the bearded kidnap, vic

collapse.
Williams was arrested there and
