The Motor Car Mends the Roads.

FROM the 81 LOUIS hepuiit.
When country roads are good the city
man cranks up his six-cylinder 1913 mod

matter If a bewildered hen finds II i'm

seems to the country dweller that the
mission of the motoring city man is to
come with a threat. pass with racket
and depart leaving nothing but resent
ment and bad smell.
But when the roads are bad what then!
The farmer Is a prisoner on his farm. AL
the draught animals on the place cOuldn't

stalls in the mud and its occupants walk

increase on the farms, but buyer and

This contrast reveals the eminent. f1t-

the automobile tax. The plan is to con-

Occupational Diseases.

FROM the Boston Transcript.
In the evolution and expansion OF the
industrialism of the state and the country
there have been many additions to the
number of occupational diseases 10 be
guarded against. Quite naturally the
means of protection have not kept pace
with their development. and as a conse-
quence the troubles from this source have
steadily increased. 1t is to meet this con-
dition that Senator Tinkham has intro
duced bill bearing upon this matter II
is now before the committee on social
welfare and, though this committee has
been one of the most active of any ia the
legislature and has been doing excellent
work hardly any other measure il 81
more urgent Importance than this. The
bill has the approval of health officials
OF the state and of various health eX-
perts. and its appeal is equally strong on
humanitarian and economic grounds
The state board of health is authorized
by the bin to define lead, arsenic. mer-
curry, phosphorus and wood alcohol pois-
oning to be dangerous 10 the public

OF reporting To the health ADdlu al

ments which are declared by the latter
to be dangerous to public health Appro-
propriate penalties are provided for any
employer who fails TO comply with the re-
quirements laid down for him in this con
nection in the body of the bill.
The extent of the group OF such dis
eases makes an impressive and serious
showing Separately they have been quite
sensa tional, especially those that are due
to phosphorus and wood alcohol. but col
lectiyely they constitute "A problem that
calls for prompt efforts for its solution.
The need of relief Is vital and the chaIac-
ter of the bill for that purpose has been
Endorsed by such high authority that *

THE GENESIS OF MEMS NAMES


It was the Welsh who most commonly
put the fathers name in the possessive
case. as Williams. Evans and the like.
Long ago surnameS as we understand
them were not used. Men had Chris
tian or baptismal or nurse name or nick
name, and then his neighbors to distin-
guish him from some other persons OF
the same name or some other John, OF
James or Robert affixed his trade, or his
occupation, the place where he lived Oh
some popularity Of his physical being
As an illustration, John the carpenter
John the turner, John the weaver or the
webber, John of the hill. John OF the
moor, or John of the wood in time be-
came simply John Carpenter, John Tur-
ner John Weaver, Weber, HILL Moore
and Wood.
1.-The very common name of Price is a
name of locality. being derived from Ar
Rhys. .ap' being Welsh for from or
of and Rhys a place in Wales. Here
is an illustration that will be clearly I'M
derstood by all Americans 1t is the de-
rivation of the name Washington.
"Of the soldiers under the Conqueror
many were Williams. When the Con-
aueror came to reward his men he gave
to one of these Williams farm in Dur
ham called Hertburn. This William
then became by the custom OF the age
and the country William de Hertburn, as
the Normans had it, or plain William
Hertburn TO his English neighbors. VIII
liam de Hertburn sold or aliened his
farm or fee and acquired another place
called washington. His name then be-
came William de Wessyngton. In the
course of time thf' Norman-French de
was dropped and the surname Wessyng-
ton followed Immediately after the bap-
tismal name. People were very poor
spoilers in those days, even those who
could write at all, and they spelled a
name as 1t sounded to them. People pro-
nounced differently in different parts OF
England, as they do to this day, and a
name that was pronounced one way in
one county was not so pronounced In the
adjoining county, or perhaps even In the
same county. And as II sounded differ
entIv to the scribe, the court clerk, the
parish clerk or the clergyman. 1t would
get into the records under various and
varying spellings.
sometimes when learned man wrote
his own name he spelled it differently at
different times and when ordinary
man learned only to write his name, his
spelling of it sometimes was more Won
derful than at other times. Hence. as
the descendants of this William de Hert-
burn Wessyngton grew in numbers and
strayed away from Washington in Dur
ham the name came to be spelled Wes-
sineton, Washington. Wissinv ton. Wish
ington washington. and, as the centuries
rolled by, came to be pretty substantially
fixed as Washington.
