YOUR LAST NAME
BY FRANCES COWLES
Copyright, 1920, by The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicat

Farragut is surname that stands
Tor so much in American history
mat we sometimes do not all think
or II as a name Of Spanish deriva-
ton. But the fact is that David
Glasgow Farragut was OF Spanish
blood and Spanish name, his father
having been a George Faragut. a
Spanlard who came TO this country
in ITO and fought in the Revolu-
ton in support Of the colonies. The
family traces descent to Don Pedro
Farragut. who was called III Con.
questador, the Conqueror, who served
under King James l., King OF ARA
gon, in the Thirteenth Century. For
centuries this family held extensive
lands in the Balearic Islands, and
among the notable members OF the
family there settled Augustin Farra-
gut, a theologian Of note. and Pablo, a
well-knOwn historian. Among other
notable aFrraguts OF the old world
were Antonio. a soldier Of the seven
teenth century, and Gonzolo, Bishop
OF Urgel, and three magistrates Of the
kingdom OF Manorca.
David Farragut, the great American
admiral, married a Juana Mesquida,
and that surname was sometimes
used in the family OF David Farra-
gut. David's father was resident of
MinOrca, in the Balearic Islands, be-
fore he came 10 this coNntry. His
father, who served in the Revolutions

FISHING PLANES
ON CHESAPEAKE
Aircraft Used With Success
to Locate Schools of

NOTIFY BOATS
BY WIRELESS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.--Air-
planes have been used with great sue

Chesapeake Bay, according 10 the re-
port OF Hugh NJ. Smith, United States
Fish Commissioner, just made public.
Mr.. Smith says that the possibility
OF practical use Of airships in various
branches OF the fisheries is one Of
the most interesting developments in
aviation. Then he adds
"The most obvious purpose that
airplanes may serve is in the off-shOre
fisheries In determining the location
OF whales and schools OF surface
swimming fish, like mackerel and
menhaden, and in promptly communi-
eating this information to fishing
vessels or TO shore stations.
I'm April, 1920, II was suggested to
menhaden companies operating in the
Chesapeake Bay region and having
vessels that frequent the grounds of
the Virginia Capes that seaplanes
might be used advantageOusly In help

Chesapeaks Bay, so as 10 be able TO
