The wisest of feminine names Is
Sophy, or Sophia, as she should be
called properly. 1t is perhaps the only
name which IL closely associated with
divine attributes, since its origin dates
back to the dedication of that most
gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. It was called
Sta. Sophia (the holy wisdom Of Cod

Book Of Ecclesiastious, Wisdom is the
mother of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear, and this idea Is said to have
suggested the allegory of the holy
woman with three daughters so-called
and in compliment to the newly-built
church. the niece of Justianian's en-
press, afterward wife of his nephew
and successor, was called Sophia. The
name straightway became fashionable
among the daughters of the nobility Of
Greece and was carried through Sla-
vOnians to Germany.
History records a Hungarian prin-
cess Of that name in 919, and another,
daughter of King Geysa, married Mag

the name throughout Saxony. Den

through this latter princess and has
since made it almost a national name.
Its vogue with the royalty of Denmark
Is unmistakable and its use spread
through all classes.
England barely escaped having a
Queen Sophia and even though Sophia
Dorothea of Yette never actually as

Washington, D. C., May 25.-(Special.)- Modern science in helping to convert another of mans traditional enemies, the shark, into his serviceable friend" ac- according to bulletin from the Wash ington, D. C., headquarters of the Ma tional Geographic Society.
 "Already sharks are contributing food. gelatine and oil for many purposes. to appease the ever more complex needs of mankind, and now they are being experi- mented with as probable source of shoe leather.
 Not many years ago the cattle on the western plains and on the farms aver aged about one animal to each person in the United States, but today there is not much more than half a beef animal for each inhabitant of the country, and the import of hides is negligible.
 "The United States bureau of stand- ards has completed arrangements to test the comparative durability of upper leather made from shark skin as com pared with that from calfskin and cow hide. The cooperation of the shoe man ufacturers has been obtained in the mak- ing of the necessary shoes for the tests.
 Sharks are regarded as the most ra- pa acious bloodthirsty and cruel of all the inhabitants of the sea, all of the, known species, with four exceptions, being flesh eating. They are long and cylindrical, the body terminating in a sharp snout in front and a long and flattened tail be- hind. The mouth is placed crosswise and usually is on the lower surface of the head. some distance behind the tip of the snout Almost all sharks are marine, though many occasionally follow their prey into the mouths of rivers. Their teeth are arranged in formidable trian- gular tiers, the first or outer row alone being used. while the rest are turned back ont of the way When those of the hrst row are lost, those of the next row take their place.

Birmingham Must Get
 Rid of Its Loafers

TD) OLICE COMMISSIONER FAY 0 LOR should be given hearty support in his warfare against vag- rants. likeness breeds crime. Many of tie white and black men who have been lounging about the streets of Birmingham are potential criminals, if they are not already in that class.
 It is said that would-be employers have approached scores of negro loaf CTS, offering them good wages, and have found none who would accept a job. If these men won't work of their own accord, there are laws on the statute books to give them employ ment until they realize that self-re- spect and self-support are synony- nous terms.
 Underproduction is keeping up the cost of living Production falls off because there are too many shirkers and drones. There should be no tol- eration shown to industrial slackers. There is no excuse for any ablebodied man to be idle. Wages are high and there arc more jobs than there are men to fill them.
 When the farms and many indus tries are suffering from labor short age, when non-skilled, as well as skilled labor, is at premium, idlers are an economic waste.
