Women of Today

A group of New York women have
decided that even if women with the

League Of Women Voters with Mrs.
Frank A. Vanderlip as chairman, pre-
scented report and protest to Gov.
Smith which charges that patriotism is
used to cloak propaganda which Is a
menace to the state and to the cOun-
try.
The report states that certain
organizations and clubs with patriotic
and high sounding names are nothing
more than camouflaged committees
which are working against all industrial
welfare measures, particularly against
health insurance in industrial plants
and other such legislation. 1t covers
the activities of some of the organiza-
lions for several years and traces the
careers of some of their leaders through
similar antiwelfare campaigns in other
states.
When the report was completed Mrs.
Vanderlip led a delegation of prom
inent women to Albany for a special
conference with the governor. Gov.
Smith stated that he granted the wom-
en- hearing in the executive chambers
Of the capitol because of the urgency of
Mrs. Vanderlips request The women
did not demand an official inquiry in
their report, but stated that informing

What's In a Name?
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
PEARL.

Pearl is undoubtedly a name Of
great price," Not only is 1t musical in
sound but it honors the exquisite
translucent gem which is the symbol
Of purity the world over.
The Persian term for the jewel is
Muryarid. meaning child OF light"
Their legend OF the origin Of the pearl,
a charming and beautiful fancy, is in
accordance with the ancient idea that
the oysters. rising to the surface of the
water at night opening tAeir shells in
alteration. received into their mouths
drops Of dew. CONCEALED by the moon
beams into the lustrous gem which re-
sembles the moon itself.
The pearl has always been associated
with purity and sanctity. Pearls were
chosen as the jewels to adoru the gates
of the celestial city, and the gem has
had countless uses az a symbol in the
religions of all countries.
Pearl is enormously popular in Eng
land. Like Muriel and Molly and Wv
ian and Sibyl, it may almost be said
to be one of the national feminine
names In this country it has like
wise a widespread vogue. We have
even gone further and made a Giminu-
tive, Pearley. which is popular in some
sections, though a trifle provincial.
PEARLS talismanic stone is, of course,
her own gen. the pearl. II promises
her great charm and affability, and
many friends, 1t will always guard her
from dangers and evil and preserve
her purity. Thursday is her lucky day.
and her lucky number. The mar
guerite or daisy, is her flower.
