There is much confusion as to the
name Ina. The majority OF peopk
seem to think it an Authorization o.
Magdalen, but the spelling, and no less
the popular pronunciation disproves
the assumption.
Lima Is italian. The ancient Romano
named so the goddess of Flax. See
Darwin's Loves of the Plants: S
''Inventress Of the wool, fair Lima
filings
The flying shuttle through the dancing
strings"
In the middle ages or earlier the
goddess's simple name was elabor-
atea into Eleanora.
Our English forefathers adopted both
Eleanora and Lima; they turned the
first into Eleanor, Leonora and Annora
the4latter into Linot, and Annot, but 1t
should be remarked right here that
Nora is not an abbrevation of either
Eleanor or Annora, but name by It,
self.
Linas and Eleanors hankering after
outlandish forms may call themselves
ELLEN which is Irish. or Lenka, which
is Slavonic More unusual still is
Ilona, the Hungarian form.
Eleanor, the aggrandized form OF
Lima, became Alienor in ancient
French An Alienor was queen of
France during the troublesome Reign
OF King john" of which Peele made
play, upon which the bard founded his
"King John"
Queen Eleanor was the mother-in-
law OF the wife of an English ruler,
known In history os \"Good Queen
kleanor."
Another historical English Eleanor
was called 'Damsel Of Brittany She
was the daughter-in-law OF Henry IL.
AS long as the house of Plantagenet
reigned in England. Eleanor was con
sidered royal name and none but the
hi~hest dared bestow it on their daugh-
te-s 'by royal privilege" After the
Plantagenets became extinct, the Eng
lish nobility seized upon the name as
Its particular quarry and it became one
OF the people when the aristocrats got
through with it.

Some comprehensive scheme of road
building by the Federal government, a
scheme that will give this country a
system of highways comparable with
those of Europe, is likely to result from
the effort the American Automobile
Association is now centering on Con-
gress. The initial step toward this
end is contemplated in a joint resolu-
ton introduced by Representative I'm
derWood, of Alabama, which provides
for the appointment Of a committee
composed Of three members of the
Senate and three from the House to
investigate the cost of public high
ways. This committee will recon-
mend as to the ACCESSIBILITY of Con
gress giving aid to National good roads
projects.

News of National Capital
(By Robert Compton.)

Washington, d. c., April 1G.-The
doom of the loan shark" is near at
hand. After more than a decade Of
fighting to drive this pest from the
National Capital, the foes of the
spurious money lender are reasonably
sure of victory. The Senate has agreed
to the House bill which fixes the legal
rate of interest for loans on personal
chattels, including household goods,
at / per cent per month, and this
means that it will soon become a law,
unless the powerful lobby organized
by the loan sharks succeeds in delay
ing its passage.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 15.-Plans
were completed at a meeting here to-

forty railroad systems are represented

Among the present organizations in

passage of the bill up to this time has
been the objection of certain Sena-
tors to the inclusion of pawn brokers
in it's provisions. 1t has been argued
that their business is carefully regu-
lated and to compel them to accept
less than per cent per month would
be iniuring legitimate enterprise. But
whether they are included or eliminat-
ed matters little. The proposed law
aims solely at the repacious money
lenders who for years have been prey
ing on the government clerks and
worthy poor of Washington. Long
ago it was realized that some drastic
action was needed to stamp out this

convinced in the face of the active

The crying need of the proposed leg

when the hearings on the pending bill
were held few months ago. In

ness to borrow $50 from a so-called

then, at the end of seven months, still
owed 1925 in interest This was only

confessed to liabilities in excess of
$1,000 with no assets. Her salary was
5000 a year. OF her debts, $1,000 rep

Her statement to the court was that
she had received only about $500 of
