HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally but More
often Due to the "Wear and
Tear of Time"

'Who Was Whof" is the suggested
title for new book to contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new pubhca-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely a name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court but
most of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling TO express the errors of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
a habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the yam"
The name "Burch" was originally
Birch" and meant man who lived by
the birch tree. 1t is a curious COM

title. Good names are a misfortune

and girls who are not strong. Ihey

they remained in dark houses and did
not have enough to eat. they would
never get well.
The officers of the American Red
Cross went out to the farm recently
and saw the children go through the
drills that will give them strength.
They made brave showing in their
red shirts, like small soldiers of Carl
baldi, and It was easy to see by the
look on their faces that they intend
ed to win the fight they were making
to be strong like other boys.
Of course they were told about the
millions of children, members of the
American Red Cross, who are helping
on the other side of the Atlantic and
who send with their gifts, their love to
the children of Italy whose fathers
have been in the war for three years
against a cruel enemy-the enemy Of
the world. Germany.
After listening to this story of the
love of the American boys and girls
across the sea, a small boy sidled up to
Major Taylor. the Turin delegate Of
the American Red Cross. and overcom-
ing his sbyness asked: MAY we
send something to our little friends in
American"
Then before anyone could tell what
was happening these poor little chill
dren brought from their pockets all
they had, big italian copper pennies
and poured them into Major Taylor's
hands. Several ran into the farm
house TO get their treasure, which they
had so carefully guarded. Some look
ed long at their pennies tied in a
handkerchief. 1t was a hard struggle
to part with it, for 1t meant a bit of
pastry or something sweet or, may
be, something for their parents. But
the struggle was brief and out came
the coin and the boy or girl dropped
1t into the American officers hand with
smiling face.
For America" they said, and sure
" there never were gifts that came
from hearts more loyal and true.
Major Taylor had tiny American
flags for them all. and the little fell
