September 3. In the same period the
shipments fell below actual produc-
ton by only lilo of per cent.
In August alone orders were re.
ceived for S51 ,607,56 feet. while the

NO LONDON BANK RATE
CUT; NEW INITIATION SEEN

LONDON. Sept. 24.-The London
Times says that many persons In
financial circles were disappointed
yesterday at the absence Of a reduc-
ton In the bank rate in London, fol.
lowing upon the Federal Reserve
Bank reduction. 1t understands that
this absence is attributable to pros
poets of a considerable fresh infla.
ton In the next three months.
In its financial notes, the Times
says 1t Is not believed in financial
circles that the decision of the court
of the Bank of England Indicates
that the monetary policies of Lon
don and New York. which hitherto
have pursued parallel course,
have reached a parting of the ways,
but that the present condition of
national finances makes It desirable
for It to pursue a conservative policy
for the next few weeks"
The London rate since the armis-
tice has been governed by the Amer
lean rate.

"What's in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name: It's history; mean
ing; whence It was derived significance;
your lucky day and lucky Jewel.
GEORGIA.,

- EORG1A has a deeply religious
" origin among the Marinite
Christians who have Il tradition
that Georges was :; Christian sentinel
at Damascus who cOnnived at the eS-
cape of St. Paul when he was let
down in the basket, and was therefore
put to death. The next Georges was a
CappadOcian saint and martyr in
whose honor Emperor Constantine
erected church at ByZantium.
Throughout all early church history
Georgius appears as saint, martyr or
hero until, finally, the famous St.
George Of the Dragon legend became
renowned in England.
Curiously enough, though George
penetrated every country Of the west,
being adopted by England, France,
Hungary and Germany, the feminine is
quite modernism. 1t was not until
comparatively recent years that Anne
Of Denmark was instrumental in hay
ing godchild of hers christened Geor-
gia Anna. She was the first English
Georgia, though the name is said to
have existed previously on the CONT
nent. 1t is possible that this same
Georgia Anna coupled her two names
for the sake Of euphony and is re-
sponsible for the Georgiana which is
now so popular in all English-speak-
ing countries.
The French adopted Georgia, but
quickly changed her to Georgine and
Georgette. Germany liked Georgine
and took her over, making her one Of
her most popular feminine names.
England has form Georgina and
Portugal is responsible for Georgetta.
In America alone does the original
Georgia seem to flourish.
Georgia's talismanic gem is the
bloodstone, which has strong therapeu-
tic powers and not only preserves it's
wearer from danger and disease but
1t is said to be curative in hemor-
rhages and other disturbances of the
blood. Tuesday is her lucky day and
her lucky number. The violet
signifying modesty, is her flower.

TOMMY KITS DREAM.

Behavior is mirror in which every one
displays his image.-Goethe.
THE housing problem is a bigger
one now than it has ever been
before in this country. There
fore a good many of us are either
buying or building houses and we are
coming up against unaccustomed prob
lens.
The first thing to remember whether
you buy house from total stranger
or from your next-door neighbor, is
that the transaction is purely one OF
business. 1t should be carried on in
an absolutely businesslike way. Just
because you know the man you are
buying the house from is no reason
why you should not have everything
about it put down in the legal form.
And just because the man who is
buying the house from you is friend
Of yours is no reason why you should
feel any offense because he wants to
be purely businesslike about the trans
action.
On the other hand, the Well-bred
buyer or seller of house tries always
to do the courteous thing If you are
selling a house and know that 1t
would be a great convenience to those
who buy it to take possession d few
days ahead Of the specified time, let
them do so If you can manage to.
Remember when you sell house
that the garden goes with it. If you
want to transplant any Of your favor
lite flowers after the house Is sold It
is the courteous thing to ask permits
sion Of the persons you have sold 1t
to. And remember that once the deed
Is signed everything about the house
belongs not to you, who have sold 1t.
even though you are still living in 1t,
but to the person who has bought 1t.
And although you are entitled to live
In it until the date agreed upon, you
are not entitled to take anything
away from 1t that goes with the house.
When you buy new home it Is
quite probable that your friends will
want to see It, The best way to avoid
unpleasant feeling and to make mat
ters easy for you is to specify
given date when you will be at home
in the new house. 1t is even some
times good plan to give an informal
tea or at-home to welcome your
friends to your new house and thus
to give them a chance to see it.
