Predicting Republican success
next November, Senator Cummins

For surely" he continued, eight
years of mystery, of uncertainty, OF

1t was not until the Tudor per-
iod that Jane came into vogue, but
straightway it was made famous
by Jane Seymour and became
courtly title. On the other hand,
Jane was accorded such popular
usage that it is said to have named
Jean as an article of dress,
Jenny seems to have appeared as
diminutive, or perhaps an en-,
dearment, of Jane. 1t suggests
something more gentler and more
alluringly feminine than uncom-'
promising James. Jane today sum

istic tendencies. but Jenny repre-

woman to bear the name was the
golden-voiced Jenny Lind.

Jane.
The quaint, old-fashioned name
of Jane has two equivalents-Joan
and Jenny. 1t is one of the numer-
GUS names, both masculine and
feminine, that comes from John
and his derivatives. and signifies
grace of the Lord" John was
originally Johannes or Joanna.
The first feminine form to be
used many years after all deriva-
tives of John had come into favor
was Joanna, the name of a holy
woman of the gospel who was new
er canonized, but received her title
of sanctity in honor of one of the
St. Johns. In the 18th century. the
feminine form sprang to real prom
inence in the south Of France and
north of Spain. Jehanne and
Jeanne were the popular French
forms and Juana was the favorite
in Spain. Many Jeannes and Ju-
anas married into royal families
and gave vogue to their names. A
daughter of Edward II was SO call
ed and Joan Beaufort, beloved OF
James I, was another famous wom-
an of that name.

Needless X.Ray Examinations.

A reader writes from another

This is one Of great many SIM
liar inquiries which ought to be
answered here.
A psychologist of high standing
recently suggested that it would be
we'll to let the laity know that a
great many expensive X-ray ex-
aminations are utterly superfluous
and futile from every point Of view.
The surgeon stated that some ply
sicians are guilty Of suggesting
such X-ray examinations OF pa
TENTS with LESSONS of the soft It's
sues which cannot be demonstrated
by. X-ray examinations in any
event.
When the Wiseheimer family,
numbering about forty million
members, sets out in quest of fren-
zied diagnosis the first big mistake
is generally some such futile X-ray
examination. The Wiseheimers
harbor a fancy that the X-ray is
sort of a searchlight which shows
up all kinds of troubles doctor
can't discover otherwise. This is
of course absurd. And unfortu-
nately there are about as many dis
honest as there are honest physi-
clans using X-rays. 1t is the self
nominated specialist" who is large
ly responsible for the deplorable
misconception of the X-ray which
the layman has. This particular
species of quacks dwells on the

to gullible people and the Wise
