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

who Was Who?" is the suggested
title for a new book To contain the
names Of all persons who have
changed their names. \ new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough il will
be found that scarcely Il 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 Van"
The name "Burch" was originally
Birch" and meant q man who lived by
the birch tree. 1t Is a curious COM
ment on this new book that the Lon.
don newspaper editor who IS putting II
out has juggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking a
tile. Good names are a misfortune
when they are used like family por-
traits to make SnobS.-EXchange.

New Source Of Alcohol.

Through seizure Of n still In a bak-
cry In New Mexico, where n quantity
Of alcohol was discovered that had
been distilled from bake-oven fumes,
there is considerable discussion as to
the feasibility of manufacturing alco-
hol as q by-product Of bread. The
seized still was q crudely constructed

conducted from the oven into a worm
which passed through a barrel of wa
ter for cooling. 1t Is believed large

featured for war ut small cost at
