What's in a Name?" By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name, its history; mean ing; whence it was derived; significance;
 your lucky day and lucky jewel
DOROTHY

N NE of the quaintest and most O whimsical of origins is that from which Dorothy sprang. Theos and Zeus, father of the gods were identical terms in ancient Greece. From Theos came many masculine names and one feminine, Theodora, which signified "gift of God" or s'living gift" Curious enough, the reversal of the name or Dorothea was speedily accomplished and though absolutely incorrect, gained more prevalence in the Western world than Theodora has ever achieved
 The beautiful legend of St. Dorothea helped to give her name widespread fame. It is the story of the Cappado- clan maiden who sent the roses of Par adise by angelic hands as testimony of the joy she was reaping. Dorothea be- came a patron saint in Germany and England straightway adopted her name because of Massinger's powerful dra- ma. Dorothy was the next step in her evolution and Dolly became a popular diminutive Indeed, so common was it in usage that it became the generic term for wooden children or puppets in the time of Elizabeth Stuart. and hence our own dolly" or doll, beloved of the small girl.
 Dorothy became a Puritan name at the height of the reign of the house of Hanover, and was used by Mrs. Doro- thy Cromwell and other Roundhead daughters France called her Doro- thee, while Germany preferred the original Dorothea, and Italy omitted the aspirate and made her DOrotea. England and America favor Dorothy, with its fluffy diminutve Dolly. Rus sia, by some mysterious translation, claiming that the patroness of Darija was an Athenian lady martyred with her husband Chrysanthus at Rome and buried in catacomb which was opened in the reign of Constantine the Great. The modern Greek rendition of the name is Thorothea.
 Dorothy's talismanic gem is the dia- mond. It is said to afford her protec- tion from evil and bring her great hap piness. AS the old legend goes: "The Evil Eye shall have no power to
 harm
 Him that shall wear diamond as 6
 charm"

THESE indispensable little articles Il were once so expensive that few could afford them. In about l4SS France manufactured them in quan- tity. In 1636 the pinmakers of Eng land established the first pinmaking corporation, and established the fac tories at Bristol and Birmingham. Birmingham is still the center of the industry. In Birmingham, Conn, the first pinmaking factory in the United States was started in 1886.

MAKE HIT IN PERU 1
American tackles Thoroughly at
 Home in Lima, the Capital.
Cafe Managers Find 1t Saves Trouble to Have Bill Agree With Menu
 Prices and Change Correct.

Calla.-A strange language, a still more puzzling currency and exchange rate and strike of chauffeurs and coach drivers during the Atlantic fleets visit to Peru did not prevent American sailors from Altering into every nook and cranny of Lima, seven miles from this port, from the hum- blest saloon to the cathedral.
 They may have lost a little in ex- change or paid more for a meal than the average Peruvian, but the smiling storekeeper and cafe manager found it saved them time and trouble to have their bill agree with menu prices and their change correct. For instance ::
 In one of the best hotels a tanned bosun called for the bill for himself and three companions
 "No," he declared, tits too much" as the waiter laid down bit of paper with column of figures on it.
 "How do you know it's too much i; you haven't looked at it yet?' one of his friends remonstrated.
 Its always too much the first time" the bos'un replied without nov ing his hand from the pile of Peruvian currency he had placed on the table. "I've been in France, and I know"
 A long argument ensued in English by the sailor and Spanish by the waiter.
 The head waiter came, tried his ten words of English and also beat re- treat to be replaced by the manager of the hotel.
 Look here" said the bos'un after ascertainfng that the manager under stood him, more or less. 'That waiter tried to gyp us. He said we owed twelve of these cigarette papers (point- ing to a Peruvian sol, worth about 45 cents). I figured 1t up from the menu, and we only owe eight. How about it7"
 The manager glanced at the bill and then at the bos'un. "All right" he said, and bowed the four out.
 What did I tell youT' were the last worde. of the bos'un as he reached the street.
 The navy's -Four N" yell echoed for the first time from the high, vaulted ceilings of the aristocratic National club of Lima during the visit of the Atlantic fleet and created a scene seldom equaled in that magnificent relic of the Spanish occupation.
 Following a reception and banquet, Peruvian orators excelled themselves in expressing their best wishes for the Atlantic fleet and the United States. In concluding his eloquent response Vice Admiral H. P. Jones suggested a navy yell
 "Give them the four Ms, with one navy and three Lima's, the leader sho,sted, and then led a cheer that shook the building. The sight of a gold-braided whirling dervish spin ming and leaping in perfect time to a laundering, rhythmic cheer, brought every member of the club to his feet, and the flushed junior officer was car ried around the hall on the shoulders of gray-hared notables

 Of course, Johnnie Rock did not say word to any of his relatives about moving away from the family trees. He just quietly one morning went away and at night time he did not return.
 Old Grandfather Rock was the first to discover Johnnie's absence when he was counting noses before he went to sleep.
 'Where is Johnnie?' he asked.
 Watch him tomorrow when you see him and find out where he is," com manded Grandfather Rock
 The next night at bedtime every Rock knew what had happened; John

J JOHNNIE RUNS AWAY

NF COURSE, you know that the NJ Rock family is very exclusive bird family. They think a great deal of their family tree, or trees, and will not allow young Rock to go away from those trees.
 Now, young Johnnie Rock thought all this fuss about keeping with the family very silly, and one day he de- cided he would build a nest in tree close to field where there were plenty of grubs and also where he could occasionally have taste of vegetables.
 Johnnie Rock does not destroy very much; he might help himself to potato or little corn once in a while, but he is of enough value to the farm

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts If your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

IL you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff.
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take q tablespoonful in q glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
alse to neutralize the acids in urine,
SO it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in,
jure, and makes delightful eferyescent
