The New Secretary Of State.

Bainbridge Colby seems to have been about
the last man in the mind OF people down In
washington for secretary OF state, and SO his
appointment has caused great deal OF sur
prise. Friends Of others who were considered
in line for the position, and more particularly
enemies OF the administration. would like to
feel scandalized, but some way there doesn't
seem any occasion for going that far.
Mr.. Colby has not always been Democrat.
perhaps but he always has been liberal and
progressive andfhe has not changed his mind
so often-as to lay himself open to the charge
Of being erratic. He may not have had special
training in diplomacy, but he has been active
in public affairs for long time and has shown
his capacity in SO many ways that he cannot
be consistently condemned on the ground OF
inexperience. He has a mind OF his own, LOT
he has even taken issue publicly with the pres
ident on occasion and Mr.. Wilson thinks enough
of his Judgment and integrity to accept his crit
icism in good part and value him all the more
for it.
One thing Mr.. Colby undoubtedly has is an
open mind on most questions with which the
department Of state will have to deal. He will
make a new start, and. judging by his past,
the chances are that he will start right.

Mildred.


Mildred is something Of a holy
name. since it has a heritage close
ly associated with religious. orders.
Though said to be of Teutonic
origin, it was exclusively Saxon in
its early use; indeed it may be said
to be almo.t Mercian, since its first
appearance was in the family of
King Merowald.
Mild was a Saxon word meaning
mild and by rhe addition of
"tryth," another Saxon term sig
nifying command" the feminine
name Mildthryth was formed. Be-
cause it was translated to mean
mild speech" it was much used
as a nale for gentle damsels with
religious inclinations.
King Merowald had three daugh-
tiers whom he Eamed Mildgyth,
Mildburgh and Mildthyth - thus
employing all versions of the
name then in use. All three be,
came nuns OF holy order. The
two latter were abbesses, one in
Shropshire, the other in the Isle OF
Thanet They were finally canon
lied in recognition Of their SANITY
