AMERICA.
A More Logical Title Even Than the
United States.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
query concerning the propriety Of apply
ing the name America TO our country
seems to follow "a periodic If somewhat
perturbed orbit. The times of its reap
pearance cannot be computed exactly.
yet II may be depended on to intercept
the path of THE SuN with a fair APP
proach TO regularity.
The name OF our country IL not. as
the querists seem to imagine. the United
States 1t Is the United states of Amer
lea. There have been other United
States. nots bly, the United States OF
Colombia. me in both titles TIE words
United States are OF merely subordinate
Importance and not distinctive. the es-
sential parts of the names being Amer
lea ana Colombia. So quite as logically
az the South American republic has
been known to the world as Colombia
our own must be referred to as America.
To do otherwise is to mistake the handle
for the dish, the form for the substance.
And the circumstance that two conti-
nents also bear the name America UNI
fits 1t for use no more than does the
fact that New York may refer either
to the city or the State Of that name.
II one i~nclines to perceive a national
vanity in converting to our own use the
name of two continents. what must be
said OF our habit al reference to the
United States? There we have the true
complacency. however unconscious. re-
mlnding one OF the devoted wife who
might speak Of her husband as the

similar aspect OF self-absorption in our
misuse OF the participial expression the

through lack OF true definition. an ex-
elusive claim to recognition as "A FEEDER

State College Asks More Funds.

Denver. - Increased appropriations
and the removal of limitations on the
transfer of funds from one department
to another to meet various exigencies
are sought for the State Agricultural
College through the present Legisla-
ture by members of the Colorado
Farmers Congress. Sixty thousand
dollars, the average annual fund ap-
prorpriated by the Legislatures for
educational purposes in the last six
years, is held to be totally inadequate
to meet increased needs of the col
lege as a result of its rapid growth.
The total appropriations of the college
in the last three biennial periods has
been $4,000 to sS5,000 year, 100000
of which has been definitely set aside
for educational purposes and the rest
for experimental work. Under provi-
sions of these appropriations, the edu-
cational department has not been per-
mitted to draw from the experimental
fund or vice versa, a condition which,
it is claimed, is grossly unfair to the
institution. when it has been possible
to economize in the experimental de-
partment and extend it's surplus to the
use of the others in need of additional
funds.

CAN NOT BE MADE TO ORDER
Man Who Knows Points Out That

There is widespread but errone-

hire scientific discoverer and then
say to him, Discover me this or Dis

discovery which you want. But
valuable and important scientific dis

response to orders given and money
expended.
You cannot manufacture scientific
discovery like soap. The great diff
Guilty, in the first place. is to catch
that rare and evasive creature-a

have found him you have to humor
him and let him do as he fancies.
Then he will discover things. but

you or he wanted or expected"
