sinia. Though reason chafe and logic
repine. there comes voice without

Only in rare instances do numerical
designations confer distinction upon a
city's highways and byways. while
around thoroughfares named after
trees and flowers and politicians and
statesmen and churchmen and war
riors and families cluster historic and
sentimental associations OF nobility and
dignity. How much more suggestive
are names like Belvioore. Cottage, Lom-
hardy. Strawberry. Jessamine Jacaue-
lin Grace. Franklin and Monument
than First. Second. Third. Fourth

fragrant memories of the sweet old

IN fact. City streets are not named to
suit the convenienccs OF strangers. but
to accord with what the citizens deem
appropriate. Mathematics is foe to ro-
nance and humanness, and must not
Interfere with the sentiment that is
bound up with the names of our beaten
ways. The iconoclasts with their logic
absolute remould many things for bet

In fact. TO alter the nomenclature of
our venerable highways is impossible.
For as the poet laureate of Shockoe
Hill sings with such flnality:
You may change. YOU may number
our streets if you will
But their old time names will hang
round them still"

Need rorrens Land Registration Law.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Slr,-l was very glad TO see from one
OF your editorials recently that the
adoption OF the Torrens system of land
registration is one of the principal
measures that the next Legislature
will be urged to adopt, and that the
benefit of such Il law to the farmer
is being recognized.
WITH all the stress laid BY the
speakers al the recent Southern cdu-
cational Conference on the great need
of the farmer for improved rural
credit. or easier and cheaper farm
loans, the only law that they agreed
rpor. as clearly desirable and recon-
nended for adoYtion-they LEFT il to
the commission appointed for the pur-
pose To recon a complete plan
Tor credit aEst ci;.tions-was Il law
providing The Torrcis system of land
registration. They all agreed that
some such system was necessary a. a
foundation Of any improved land mort
gage system.
There is therefore an urgent addi-
tional reason for the adoption OF some
such system besidec the quite sufficient
reasons that have existed heretofore
The adoption of this system will in
itself greatly facilitate the securing of
loans on farms
1t is to bc hoped that the farmers and
others Will so interest themselves in
securing needed legislation in this and
other important matters rs to over
come interested opposition.
Respectfully.
