Already Richmond mothers are ready

them to name their youngsters within
twenty days after birth or turn that
job over to the city health officer. To

twenty days. DR.. Charles S Bond Will

fair Gladys or Bernardine become
known just as plain Mary or Susan IS
something Richmond mothers will not
stand for, they say. through their ply
sicians. DR.. Bond on the other hand.
is not at all anxious to bestow upon
any child name which it will have to
carry through life. but says if neces-
sary he will obey the law, and in the
meantime he is studying Webster's die

names for each sex.

HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

Centerville, Ind, Oct 12.-Miss
Laura Hill was hostess for the Wo-
mans Home Missionary society Thurs
day afternoon. There was fair atten-
dance. Miss Belle Williams, the new
ly elected president, assumed the du-
ties of her Office. Mrs. Bertha Dunbar,
secretary read the minutes. The de-
votional exercises were led by Mrs. Ell
la Dunbar. The secretary read let
ter from Mrs. A. c. Murray. of Bluff
ton, Ind, conference president Of the
w. H. M. society. The letter related
to the work of the society among the
Mountaineers of the South. Mrs. Muir
ray is especially interested in this
branch of the work and her letter was
an urgent appeal for more effective
effort and more faith.
Our Work Among Alien Women"
was the subject for discussion on the
program and was introduced by Miss
Laura Hill giving readings on the sub
ject. Following was a discussion of
the topic, which showed that among
the immigrant women there is much
for benevolent American women to do.
The business of the meeting was
mainly concerning supplies for the
Methodist hospital at Indianapolis.
The committee reported that the rag
carpet, which the society made some
months ago is still on hands. 1t was
suggested that an effort be made to
sell it as soon as possible.
A delightful luncheon was served
by the hostess, after which the society
adjourned to meet with Mrs. Bethany
Lashley the second Thursday of No
vember.

material in Fridays game. They were
given an ovation when they trotted on
the field, but the reception was moth

Jennings was given a few presents

Mullin and Donovan warmed up for
Detroit and Overall and Mordecai
Brown for Chicago. The tip had gone
around that Chance would use his star
finger in this game, but he decided
to give Overall another chance.
The first inning was a short affair,
or fielding way. Four men faced Ov-

Is it a loose application of language
to apply the word journal to a pub-
LEGATION Issued every week or month?
Probably not since the idea of the word
seems to have been that the news sheet
was a dairy, a record of day by day
events, rather than that ii appeared
daily itself. The very first regular
newspaper indeed is considered to have
been the Frankfurter Journal, which
appeared in 1915 as a weekly publica-
ton. If newspapers were compelled to
adhere with literal accuracy to their
titles all "gazettes" would sell for one
cent, since that is what gazette origin
ally signified. The Venetian Gazetta
of the sixteeth century, the parent OF
all the gazettes took its name from a
coin of that value.

Consul T. H. Norton, of Chemnitz,
writes regarding Germanys mask in
dustry: There is an extensive demand
for masks throughout Germany for the
carnival season and other merry MAX
ing occasions. In central Germany
there are several large establishments
devoted exclusively to manufacturing
this article. They not ony meet the de-
mand of Germany's trade, but also sup
by very large demand from foreign
countries. The materials used in mask
making are chiefly pasteboard and
gauze, with small amounts of silk and
wire Each establishment employs its
own artists, and there is a constant eff
fort to place novelties on the market,
1t is largely due to the great variety of
these novel designs that a promising
trade with the United States has grown
up during recent years, which is re-
ported to be steadily increasing"
