resented Here for First
Time Since 1914.

After thirty-one years the New York
Poultry and Pigeon Association has
changed it's name to the Madison Square
Garden Poultry Show, Inc. The reason
is that there is only one Madison Square
Garden show. and it is the greatest held
annually In America or in the world
The thirty-second exhibition Of poultry,
water fowl, pigeons. rabbits and cavies
will be held at Madison Square Garden
from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive.
January IS to %.
Theodore A. Havemeyer. president
since its inception of the old organiza-
ton, will hold the same office in the
new body. The vice-presldent is Harry

There will be the usual cash prizes
in all classes for single birds an,ls pens,
the money value or the premium awards
exceeding $1,000. The special prizes for
poultry, waterfowl and pigeons include
over one hundred valuable cups and
trophies. The entries will close on
January /, with D. Lincoln Orr, at
Madison Square Garden.
The first entry of poultry from Eng
land since the outbreak of~the war in
1914 was received last week from a
fancier at Sussex Park, near Liverpool.
The birds, which are entered In all the
regular classes, number twenty-five
dark Cornish games, the largest and
most beautiful Of the game bird strains,
and also thirty game bantams OF diff
ferent varieties. The entry is an indica-
ton that the poultry industry OF Great
Britain Is regaining its normal footing.
Before the war there we're entries at
the Garden show each year from
France, Belgium. Holland, Italy. as well
as Great Britain. and as there is still
ample time It is possible that more en-
tries may come to increase the interna-
tional interest In the show.

the United states and Great Britain be
negotiated with the countries lying routh Of
our border, including South America. The
Senate on February 9. 1920, passed resolu-

President replied on March 10, transmitting

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
SELMA.

Selma is sometimes spelt Selena
and the latter shows clearly the IN
fluence of it's interesting origin. 1t
was adopted in England under the
mistaken impression that it repro
duced the French Celine, an error
which later proved fortunate since
it introduced a charming name fitted
to the fairest English maid.
Long popular in Greece and Egypt
it did not make its appearance in
England until the nineteenth CEN
tury, when it was adopted by the
Wesleyan Countess of Huntingdon.
Since then its vogue has been wide
spread on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this country 1t is generally re-
garded as a Puritan name by those
who are not aware of its earlier as
sociation with famous sirens.
The moonstone is Selina's talis-
manic gem. 1t will bring her sue
cess in love and will preserve her
charm and graciousness. Monday is
her lucky day and her lucky num-
ber
Selma signifies moon" selene

ard named another moon goddess,
separate from Artemis. or Diana. 1t
seems to have been a favorite, with
goddesses and sirens and other
beautiful women of early history.
One of the Cleopatras was so called,
we are told.
