LAY FOUNDATION
FOR NEW FRANKS
COMPANY PLANT

Foundation work is already laid
Tor the W. l.. Franks Manufactur-
ing company building now in pro-
cess Of construction at Forty-fourth
street and Third avenue, work on
which was begun last week. Unless
. delay in the shipment of mater
1al hinders the work, the building
will be completed by June I, Mr..
Franks announced today.
The building is to be of one
story, saw-tooth in construction
and strictly modern. The archi-
tects are Cervin & Horn and the
Henry W. Horst company has the
contract for its construction. The
lot which it will occupy is 80 by $50
feet, and the building will be 80
BY 10S feet.
Plans for the removal of this in
dustry to Bushnell, ILL.,, and its con-
solidation with a similar industry
had already been made, when
through the prompt assistance OF
the Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce and other financial interests
arrangements were made for the
retention Of the industry in Rock
Island, and for erection of the new
plant. The retention of the indus
try also means the removal from
Bushnell of similar institution
and its consolidation with the loca
plant. The firm manufactures cleo
trical supplies.

What S in a Name?
LORRAINE.
By Mildred Marshall,

Where Lorraine originated is diff
cult to say. That particular form
has no genealogical history. But il
is possible that il is the modern
outgrowth of the names arising
from the old Roman 'lares," the
little twin gods who presided over
the household and were decorated
with wreaths on festival days.
The special feast of the lares was
on the 22nd of December and it was
Immediately followed by that of a
feminine deity called Lara, Larunda,
Larentia, Laurentia or AcCa Lauren
tia. who was termed in old Latin
prayers were made that no good
slave might depart. (What a COM
fort her presence would be to the
modern hoUsewife).
When Greek mythology came in,
poor LaurcRtia was turned into a
nymph whose chattering annoyed
Jupiter to such an extent that he
ordered her tongue cut out and sent
her to the lower world in charge of
Mercury. But be that as il may,
her name was popular among RO-
man matrons and existed in various
forms. Lorraine is generally re-
gardcd as the French Interpretation
Of this popular name which slipped
over the border from Italy.
Jade is her talismaniC gem. 1t
will bring her health, riches. long
life, and happiness, according to the
eNtravagant promise of the Chinese.
Monday is her lucky day and l her
lucky number.
