What S in aName9
By Mildred Marshall.
ROBERTA.


Roberta, the charming boyish
name signifying bright fame" is
one of the many examples Of femi-
nine names coined directly from the
masculine cognomen. Robert.
Though Robert can be clearly trac-
cd, there is no record of the evolu-
tion Of the feminine and 1t can only
be deduced that some parent. dis
appointed at the birth Of q daugh-
ter bestowed the family name upon
the gfrl-child and added the final
as q concession to the sex of
the infant.
Roberta has a charmingiy poeti-
cal heritage. Her counterpart ap-
pears in the most famous passages
OF Englands early history. The
origin of the name was In red. {"
which accounts for the translation
OF bright" Curiously enough. Rob-
erta was popular in Italy after be-
Ing rejected by England, before its
vogue In that latter country became
SO great.
One of the wild Dukes of Norman
dy brought II back to England ana
numerous earls and mobiles seized
upon II. establishing its vogue per-
manently.
The dearly beloved Robin Hood.
whose deeds are recorded in Eng
lish ballads, did much toward max
Ing II popular. Robin was the cpl
thet by which Queen Elizabeth ad-
dressed the two earls, stepson and
stepfather. who summed themselves
in her favor. Robert OF Bruce was
the national hero Of Scotland and
Robin Lawless was a fayorite Irish
character.
Roberta is essentially American
though the contraction BERTHE
which is the endearment for several
other names as we'll as Roberta. has
the real Yankee sound.
Roberta's talismanic stone is the
sapphire. which is said to guard her
from danger and disease. Tuesday
is her lucky day and seven her
lucky number.

Paris Discovers
NeU Concoction

Paris. April 22-They have a new
kind of cocktail in Paris which
American connoiseurs say beats

rection Cocktail" The name is
old. but the concoction is new: lager
beer and port wine.
Recipe: Mix two-thirds of lager"
with one-third OF real old port"

ice, so IT doesn't dilute over much.
A drink dispenser at one of the
popular drinking places says three

a reasonable degree of certainty
that they will get home without aid

The Washington herald., 1920-04-24
See a Dentist!

Have you rheumatism? Have you
dizziness? Have you headache ?
Have you anything in fact that you
can not account for and you docta'
seems puzzled over? II so see Il
dentist Even IL you never had
toothache and as far as you know
have mot an unsound tooth in your
head" In spite OF the fact that
America Is the foremost country in
dental matter in the world we are
in our infancy in dentistry. An
authority in dentistry told me that
only 10 per cent of the people ap-
ply to a dentist for prevention
work. The other 90 per cent
wait until It means replacing teeth.
Many OF the systemic lis which
are due to pus in the root canals
are to be found in persons whose
teeth look perfectly good" 1t is
the N-ray that reveals the tiny
canal which is pouring poison into
the blood stream and causing dis
ease. OF course, when teeth are de-
cayed and the bacteria is mixed
with the food It is obvious that
health will be interfered with. But
the insidious danger is in the sound
appearing tooth and only the dentist
can trace that vein of infection.
Many teeth are saved" at the ex-
pense Of health, So 1t is we'll to
realize that II Is not enough that
your teeth Took all right. A dem
tist will know a dead" tooth, on
examination. that to the lay mind
appears to be sound. A visit a year
to the dentist Is a good rule; every
six months is a better one.
The teeth should be brushed morn
ing and night and unless a specific
dentifrtce is ordered plain table salt
Is better than an unknown mix
ture. Dentists like doctors are be.
ginning to prescribe for their pa
tients just what they prefer in the
line of a dentifrice.
