What's In a Name!
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
NANCY.


The quantity demure name of Nancy
which has come into great vogue in
modern times, signifies grace" There
was period in her evolution, when
Nancy fell into disuse, or was bestowed
as homely unnspired cognomen, par
ticul2rly indigenous to rural commun-
tiles. But Nancy's day has come; she
is fashionable and exceedingly pleasant
to pronounce.
Nancy's origin lies in the Hebrew
Chaanach, signifying "mercy or grace"
and her earliest prominent forbear
was Hannah, mother of Samuel. But
Hannah is harsh name, because of
its aspirate initial, so the process of
evolution carried the original word
through the successive steps of Anna,
Anne. and finally arrived at Nan.
1t seems curious that Nan was the
forerunner of Nancy instead of being
a contraction of the latter name; in
deed II is one of the few such instances
occurring In genealogical records, Nam
ME, which is Nancy's diminutive, is
indigenous to Scotland, though much
used in England. Nancy is Annot in

AUTOS ENTER VATICAN

ROME, July 24-One by one the last bulwarks of conservatism in Flu rope disappear. The Vatican, which preserves in it's life and ceremonials so many picturesque customs and an cient ways of doing things for a long time sternly forbade the use of auto mobiles by cardinals and other eccle- siastics. Funeral looking carriages drawn by black horses conveyed the cardinals to and from the functions at St. Peters or to their visits to the Pontiff in the Vatican palace. Now several of the cardinals, including the English Cardinal Gasquet, have motor cars (which convey them every where.
 Not so long ago the attendants in ruff and doublet and sword who marshal, the spectators to their places in the great vatican func tions. did not allow the use of opera glasses to watch the wondrous scene. At the canonization of Joan of Arc a body of photographers were permit ted to be present who took a film of the whole ceremony, GO that when these picturesque historic process sions no more occur, this reproduc- tion will recall it.

 TO AID MOTORISTS IN TROUBLE

calls that must be made before the party goes ahead.
 A Phone Mile
 The system, which has been in op. eration the last 15 years, is said td be highly successful and profitable to the members. It has gained thou sands of new members for the asso- citation, besides a reputation for the organization.
 The plan of Councilman Westlake is not as inclusive as the British sys- tenn, but the idea of roadside tele- phones is practically the same. His idea is to install telephone at each mile pest along the road, placing the instrument at most a half mile from any motorist in trouble. With it would be a handy list of telephone numbers of garages, service stations, physicians and others who might be needed in emergencies.

COLUMBUS, O., July 24.- Road of motorists in need of aid, while out side city limits, is the suggestion of Councilman Milton w. Westlake. He has embodied this in resolution seeking the cooperation of telephone companies for the construction of such booths on the highways of Ohio.
 The plan is considered by some as too late to be of any good, because of the considerable decrease in break downs. But the fact that there are breakdowns, in spite of the better makes of cars manufactured nowa- days, is no argument in favor of this idea.
 England Has Plan
 London. England, is the center of a complex system of aid for motor ists which includes the use of tele- phones for motorists in trouble. The Automobile Association and Motor Union of Great Britain has placed corps of motorized police and first aid repairmen on every road out of London. with telephone booths at their stations to help them locate ac. cidents or make other necessary calls. Members of the, association have keys to permit them the use of these telephones while on the road. That use is confined not only to mo- tor needs, but to social and business

Easy to Remove Wheels

Here is an easy way to remove a wheel from the axle. Get a stout rope and tie it across the wheel, leaving enough room to insert a jack between the rope and the end of the spindle. Place the foot of the jack against the rope and the head against the end of the axle and work the jack slowly so that pulling force is ex- erted on the wheel through the rope.

London, Ontario, is prepared for the winter. No machines radiator should freeze there. That's because the Illuminating company has n- stalled current taps on electric light poles, by means of which radiators are kept warm in cold weather. By paying an annual fee to the company the motorist gets a key which can open tap, enabling the use of the current. That's done by the use Of an electric radiator heater, which the owner must provide.

The first day of the El1s' campaign to secure subscriptions for $200,000 to be used in the erection of a new home ended yesterday with the entire com mittee enthusiastic over the prospects for making the desired goal. Although it is not going to be an easy task, A. w. Crane, chairman of the finance committee, stated last night that with the support of the members he was confident the solicitors would come out with colors flying.
 Several of the teams met for lunch, divided their cards, outlined their plans of action and selected a time in which to make their drives They have two weeks in which to call on all the mem bers assigned them.
 ''It is not going to be an easy matter by any means to raise this amount" said Crane last night. But we are in it to prove that we can do it, and be- lieve me, if hard work will turn the trick we are going to do it. The re- turns from yesterdays canvass are satisfactory and I am sure the volume will grow as the campaign progresses
