HEROINES' NAMES.
They Are Ruled by Fashion, Too, and
Now catherine Is the Favorite.

It is curious that there should seem
to be fashions in heroines' names and
in the naming of books. For example,
this year the name of Katherine is a
particular favorite as the name for the
principal character. OF course, 1t isn't
really a matter of fashion or of imita-
ton, for the different writer's have no
knowledge of what names are to be
used by other writer's who are to la
works published at the same period;
but the ~similarities are oftentimes
striking and curious.
To mention only a few of the books
that have appeared this year: Cathar-
inc Murchison is the heroine of "A
Woman's War;" Lady Katherine de
vaucelles is the heroine Of Needles
and Pins,"N Katherine Crichton is the
heroine of katherine" the Princess
Catharine is the heroine of Margaret
Potter's "The Princess" and. 1t may
be added, Katherine Cecil Thurston Is
the author of THE Mystics."
1t is curious. too, that this year
should show both THE Princess and
Florence Morse Kingsley's The Prin-
cess and the Ploughman THAT there
should be a "A Woman's War and
"The Talking woman that there
should be Needles and Pins" and

To the Editor of the Evening tar:
Please tell me which are the three best
know and most popular American women
writer's. SUBSCRIBER.
Harriet Beecher Stowe heads the list
Of women writers of America. Women
writers Of the present day. who are well
known and popular. include Mrs. Margaret
Deland. Edith Wharton. Mary Wilkins
Freeman. Mollie Elliot Seawell, Margaret
Horton Potter. Mary Johnson and Augusta

all encyclopedias of biography.
The question is rather vague, because
there are many women writers in America
whose books sell very largely who might
be named as the 'best-known and most
popular" in preference to some Of those
named above.-Ed,l

vacation schools.

Vacation schools have come to be a rec
og1iized institution since the frightening
of the summer vacation. When 1t was six
weeks they were practically unknown.
Now that it is ten weeks they are an i'm
portant factor In education.
The summer vacation school is not so
formal and exacting as that of the regu-
lar term. 1t embodies work which is
recreational, for change OF occupation Is

useful office for pupils who have fallen
behind their classes, and Its easier de-

are a boon to teachers, many of whom

There is no doubt whatever that if the President or someone
entitled to speak with authority announced that the Department
of Justice, instead of proceeding against corporations for alleged
violations of the laws prohibiting the granting or payment of
rebates, would hereafter direct its energies toward locating the
particular official responsible for the violation of the law and in
Aicting upon him exemplary punishment, the announcement would
be regarded as decidedly reassuring and would go a long way
toward restoring the confidence of investors.-Wal Street news
dispatch.
How are you going to get at the individual responsible
Occasionally, as in the case of Hartman, the government is
able to locate the culprit, but in most other cases it is ex-
tremely difficult. All the managers of the offending corpora
tons stand together in trying to bluff and deceive the public.
If the honest lei among them will tell the truth or do the
right thing by their stock holders and the public, it will be
work getting at the cu1pits and will save innocent stock
holders and bondholders from punishment and loss.
AS it is certain acts are done in the name of a corpora
ton and in the absence of evidence anocatng the responsibility
the CORPORATION itself must bear the blame. J. M.

Drastic State legislation on insurance Is
leading naturally to a demand for federal
supervision Of insurance. 1t Is said that
the American Bar Association. which will
meet in Portland, Me-, August 26. will urge
such supervision. 1t is proposed to regu-
late insurance business under the interstate

Newnrk,s Good Example.

The city of Newark publishes the an
nual reports of all city departments in
one bound volume, for the information
of the taxpayers and public in general.
The practise should be adopted by Cam
den. Our department reports are published
in pamphlet form. but the pamphlets are
not always o~btainable, the edition being
limited and sometimes soon exhausted; be-
sides, much effort is required TO collect
them together. The single volume would
be a mine of Information for the public
and would also be available for transmits
sion to other cities, in exchange for their
municipal publications. The Newark an
nual reports are distributed to all the
large cities Of the world, constituting a
valuable advertisement of the municip-
atty. We hope that City Councils print
ing committee will give this subject the
consideration 1t deserves.-Camden Post
