MILDRED.

Mildred Is something of holy
name, since 1t has a heritage close
ly associated/with religious orders.
Though said to be Of Teutonic ORR
gin. 1t was exclusively Saxon in its
early use; indeed. Il may be said to
be almost Mercian. sAce its first
appearance was In the family or
King Merowald.
Mild was a Saxon word, meaning
mild" and by the addition of
"tryth," another Saxon term, signi-
flying command" the feminine
name Mildthryth was formed. Be-
ceuase It was translated to mean
mild speech" It was much used as
a name for gentle damsels with re-
ligious inclinations.
King Merowald had three daugh-
tiers. whom he named Mildgyth,
Mildburgh and Mildthyth, thus en-
ploying all versions of the name
then in use. All three became nuns
of a holy order. The two latter
abbesses, one in Shropshire, the
other in the Isle of Thanet. They
were finally canonized in recogni-
tion Of their sanity lives. as Mild
burgh and Mi1dreda.
Thus Mildred, Mildrid. or Mil
dreda Gas you prefer) came into ex-
istence and straightway won grea.
popularity in Shropshire and later
throughout England. Germany
adopted Mildred, but 1t has never
had definite vogue there, in spite
of its supposed Teutonic origin. The
consonants were too harsh for
France and Spain, though the latter
occasionally emeploys Mfldreda, ac-
centing only the vowels in the soft
Latin manner.
Mildred was the name given to
the famous daughter Of Burleigh.
and through her it's place among
English maids was forever assured.
Recently IL was revived to even
greater vogue in England and
America, and etymologists claim
that the record Of babies christened
by that name in the last ten years
of the nineteenth century would be
astounding and unbelievable.
The emerald is Mildred's tails
manic gen. 1t is said to promise
her a keen intellect. charm and sue

hawthorne. signifying hope, is her
flower. Wednesday is her lucky

fbe 70,143 instead of 50.929 vehicles.
1t is seen by the above table that

banner years for the sale of motor
vehicles in Iowa War time condi-
tons in 1918 apparently had its eff
feet in dulling the auto market, SO
far as private buyers were concerned.
Steel was needed for munitions, and
the governments ct war were calling
for motor vehicles, thus removing
them from private trade channels.
Millions Are Expected.
At the office of the secretary OF
state. it is estimated that Iowans
have nearly $500, 100000 invested IN
motor vehicles and accessories TO
the trade, this figure based upon
selling valuation. rather than manu-
facturer's cost. There is not at HAND
any means whereby one can accu-
rafely Judge the selling valuation OF
all motor vehicles for which licenses
have been issued. While the sta.e
bases it's license collection partly on
selling cost OF the Cal, I-ie
not in such shape that they couid De

Il is said at Ramsay's once that III
1911 there were approximately Sixty
eight persons in Iowa for every motor
