ing the paper shortage.
In an effort to save from destruction
and send back to the paper mills the
thousands of tons of paper now de-
stroyed in America each year and thus
relieve the acute paper shortage, the
Salvation Army yesterday sent out a
nationwide appeal for old newspapers
and magazines.
The Salvation Army, through it's in
dustrial homes, is salvaging and for
warding to paper mills, approximately
$4,000 tons of waste paper annually.
But there are still thousands of tons
of paper going to waste, officers say,
because the public's aid in paper con-
servation has not been solicited.
During the past ten years the armys
waste paper "harvesters' in the United
States turned back into paper mills
more than $4,000 tons of paper for
manufacturing, which otherwise
would have become total loss.

What's In a Name
(Copyright)
NAV

"NVs
The youthful name of May Is Pc
culiarly difficult to discuss. There
are two explanations of its existence.
Some etymofogists claim that 1t is
the final contraction and endearment
of Margaret, and translate 1t to mean
"a pearl"
But though May,is undoubtedly one
of the innumerable forms of Margaret,
coming through the Scotch by stages
of evolution from Maisie and Maidie.
it is so much simpler and more logical
to believe that May is really one of
the calendar names bestowed in honor
| of the fifth month in the year. 1t is
the name Of springtime and blossoms
and nesting birds and as such, has
a place Of distinction all its own. 1t
has no antecedents, under this theory,
| and cannot be contracted more than
! it already is.
The fad for naming babies by the
name of the month in which they
were born probably brought the name
May into vogue. The sudden spring
to fame of April as a feminine name
is another instance and August is SC
honored by Augusta.
| 1t is curious fact that no other
| language has an equivalent for May
whether she is a derivative of Marg
aret, or a separate entity. Only the
Scotch, which evolved her by the
former theory, possess her, even Eng
land had to accept her as new name
in the language.
Because of her possible dual origin
May is the lucky possessor of two tai
| ismanic gems. Either the pearl O.
purity or the emerald of prophecy will
prove a lucky stone for her. The
former gives her charms and friends
the latter intelligence and phopheti'
vision. Sunday is her lucky day ant
her lucky number.
BELINDA.
The quaint and charming name o
Belinda is derived from the Italian
Though most frequently applied il
modern fiction to the sweetest of tn
sex, and pretty coquettes, Behind
means a serpent. So beware, youn
men, of the baby doll who answers t
the cunning, old-fashioned name!
How Belinda came to be evolved i
: not clear to etymologists. She simpl
appeared in Italy, and is believed t
have had her origin in the fashionabl
craze for names ending in "a" whicl
swept Europe In queen Anne AL
GUSTAV age The first Belinda recorde'
in history was the wife of Orlando,
debut sufficiently prominent to sprea'
the name far and wide. But create
vogue was to be hers, and when Pop
chose Belinda for his heroine of 9TH
Rape Of the Lock-, her permanenc'
> was assured.
In those days, it needed only ;
famous author to immortalize fem

and all the fashionable maids of TIL
country adopted her for their own
just as today screen favorite's coiffur'

EVElINA.

The feminine names beginning with
Eve" are legion, yet each, curiously
is a separate name and possesses a
different meaning. Eva, for instance,
signifies life, while Evelyn means
hazelnut, and Evelina of Eveline, is
translated pleasant"
Eveline made It's appearance among
the Normans before the marriage Of
the Earl of Pembroke. .Aveline, said
to be its equivalent, was the name of
the sister of Gunnar, the great grand
mother of William the Conqueror. The
Lady Of the Garde Douloureuse in the
"Betrothed" was called Eveline. -
Aveline seems to have been more
popular than its equivalent in early
times, since old chronicles record
more instances OF the former name
than the latter. The wife of the last
Earl of Lancaster was called Avelina
de Longo Campo. Her daughter, Eve
line, was heiress to the great county
of Lancaster.
Before Miss Burney's popular novel
presenting Evelina--a name which she
form of Eveline-waS published, Eve
| line had almost disappeared in Eng
! land, but there was an immediate re
vival of the name. The new fashion
of aiding a final "a" was followed. Of
| course, and Evelina was established in
popularity for many years. Unfortun

to confuse her with Evelyn, especially
