What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
MAY.

The youthful name Of Nav is no
culiarly difficult to discuss. There
are two explanations of its exis-
tence. Some etymologists claim
that 1t is the final contraction and
endearment of Margaret and trans.
late it to mean "a pearl"
But though May is undoubtedly
one of the innumerable forms of
Margaret. coming through the
scotch by stages of evolution from
Malsie and Maidie, it is so much
simpler and more logical to believe
that May is really one of the calen-
dar names bestowed in honor of the
ntth month of the year. 1t is the
name OF springtime and blossoms
and the nesting of birds and as
such, has place of distinction all
its own. 1t has no antecedents. un-
der this theory, and cannot be con-
tracted more than IL already Is.
The fad for naming babies by the
name of the month in which they
were born probably brought Nav
Ninto vogue. The sudden spring into
fame of April as a feminine name Is
another instance and August is Sc
honored by Augusta.
1t is a curious fact that no other
language has an equivalent for May
whether she is a derivative of Mar
garet or a separate entity. Only
the Scotch, which evolved her by
the former theory, possess her. even
England had to accept her as a new
name in the language.
Because Of her possible duaI
origin, May is the lucky possessor
of two talismanic gems. Either the
pearl of purity or the emerald OF
prophecy will prove a lucky stone
for her. The former gives her
charm and friends, the latter in
telligence, and prophetic vision
Sunday is her lucky 49, and five
her lucky number.

TACOMA SENDS
 SCHOONER FOR
 ESKIMO TRADE

TACOMA, Aug. 30 (by Associated Press) Bound for Northern Siberia to trade with Eskimos, the little 68- ton power schooner Iskum left Ia Olson, veteran Alaskan navigator, as master. The boats prov was rein forced with boiler plate and her hull sheathed with ironWood to protect her from the ice she is expected to buck.
 Rifles, sugar, tea, tobacco, calico, and trinketS of all kinds made up the boats $30,000 cargo. The crew hoped to trade the cargo for skins, walrus ivory and furs. They are going far to the north, the captain said, where furs are cheap and rifles high'
 The Siberian Commercial Company sent the Iskum north. The company recently purchased the schooner Roosevelt and soon will send her in- to the Arctic. The Roosevelt, short ly after her construction, carried the late Rear Admiral Robert B. Perry part of the distance to the north pole.
 Four of the ''sourdoughs' of the northern trades accompanied by Cap tain Olson are louis Olson, the mate of the Iskum, who was with Vilhjal- mur Stefansson, Canadian explorer, on an Arctic expedition; Carl John son, one of the crew, who drove a winning team in one of the Nome, Alaska dog races; John Crawford, en- gineer, who is one of the few white men who have lived on Banks Land an isolated island in the Canadian Arctic and Gus Peterson, cook, who lived around Nome for about twenty years.

DELLA HUERTA CASTS ASIDE
 PRECEDENTS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30 (by Asso- ciated Press) Instead of fixing a time for the recently arriving Guat- emaIan diplomatic mission to call on him at his presidential offices, Prov isional President De la Huerta re- gently broke all precedents by unex- pectedly calling upon the Guatemal- ans at their own hotel.
 At noon President De Ia Huerta presented himself at the door of the apartments occupied by Marcial Gar cia Salas, minister for the Central American republic. Surprised at this procedure, Senor Garcia Salas began the interview by profoundly thanking the Mexican president for his disre- gard of diplomatic conventions.
 Later in the day, the Guatemalans called upon President De la Huerta at the national palace, and there the representatives of two newly-formed administrations the Mexican and the Guatemalan formally exchanged recognition.

 Cordova's chapter of events in the second is short Taylor hit to first; Steele struck out; England made first on a liner to short; Frederickson re- peated with a fly to center; Peterson handed his offering to the shortstop and England was thrown out at third
 Hutchinson hit to England, who sent the pill to first to await his arrival. Dikes hit liner which was nipped at first by good fielding. Peterson gathered in the fly Rogers sent his way, and the home team wound up the second with another blank.
 In the third Gilbert and Koch both made clean hits for one base. Cham bers hit to short, beat the ball to first and advanced Koch and Gilbert to second and third Matson's fly to left was accepted, but bad throwing let in Gilbert and Koch. Taylor's fly to center failed to net him base and Chambers retired the side in attempt ing to steal home
 Keckley hit to the pitcher, who passed the buck to first. Murphy fol- lowed with the first two-base hit, after ward stealing, third. Allen reached first on walk and made second on the run. Murphy scored on Hutchl- sons hit to pitcher. Then followed Dikes twO-bagger to center, bringing in Allen and Hutchinson. Rogers hit for two sacks, moving Dike to third. Prat- CT drew bingle, scoring Dikes. Cover flew out to short and Bakers hit to left was without reward.
 Tn the first half of the fourth Steele and Frederickson were put out on drives and England couldn't see the ball.

CORDOVA TAKES
 EXCITING GAME
 FROM SOLDIERS
BY H. E. ("BlLL") ME

Cordova's ball team continued it's unbeaten record for the season yes terday when they brought home the bacon again, defeating the Fort Lis cum team at Valdez by a score of 3 to 8. However, it took eleven har- rowing innings to turn the trick, for the soldiers battled valiantly to re- deem themselves for the other two close defeats scored over them by the Cordovans
 A good crowd witnessed the game, there was much enthusiasm displayed and the roofing for both sides was strenuous but good natured. Cor dova's small rooters' guard held their own we'll with the Valdezans, espe- cially the ladies, who were unceasing in their efforts to root their team to victory.
 Frederickson started the fireworks for the visitors in the first inning with 8 bunt and a burst of speed which landed him on first, Peterson displac- ing him on the initial sack with a line drive. Gilbert followed with sacrl- fee which advanced his teammates, and through a tumble by Allen he reached first base The three runners moved up on passed ball, Frederick son being thrown out at home plate. Koch connected for a base hit, send ing Peterson home for the maiden run Not to be outdone, Chambers garnered one, scoring Gilbert, but scored put out for himself at first Tad Matson closed the festivities by hitting the next offering into First Baseman Covers mitt.
 Prater, the first home-guard batter miscalculated his territory and handed hot liner to the wrong man, Short stop Chambers, who sent the pill to first a step ahead of the runner. Cover

 MEXICO WANT
 LANDED HOMES

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30 (by Associ- ated Press).-To satisfy the land-hun- ger of the Mexican peasantry, the government is tablishing farm col onies in the states of San Luis Potosf and Guanajuato. Other settlements will be founded as soon as the first two are completely launched.
 In these colonies, the small proprie- tors will live like the Mormons in Chihuahua and Sonora-each com munity having it's own streets, mar ket. garden, mixed school and moving picture theater. AppOrtionment of the adjacent farm lands will be made so that each petty landholder will literally have his own ''rOW to hOe," thus obviating one of the greatest causes for the many recent uprisings that have ocurred in Mexico. Each farmer will be furnished with agri- cultural implements and seed.
 These farms will be non-transfer- able in any form, whether by mort gage, sale or exchange. They may be inherited, however, and are to be free from taxation.
 It is planned to establish the pro- posed communities near railroad lines so that the products will find ready markets.
