whats in a Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
MARCIA.

MARCIA has an ancient origin. In
Nl early Rome there was a famous
gems of Sabine origin which
gave king to Rome and was called
Martius. Martius in turn is said to
come from Marcus, name about
which there is much contention
among etymologists. However, the
consensus of opinion seems to be that
1t was derived from Mars. the war
god and one Of the chief Of the old
Latin deities.
The daughters of the Martius fam
lily were called Marcia. Another
spelling was MARSHA. Reaching France,
the name became Marcie and of late
years when Marcia returned to vogue
she was used as the feminine Of
Mark
Martina Is another form of Marcia,
the original Martina being one Of the
young Roman girls who endured the
fiery trial of martyrdom under EN-
peror Decius. For some reason which
history does not explain the maiden
hair fern became identified with her
and its prevalence in Roman gardens
and as an ornament to Roman foun-
tains is said TO be in her honor.
Her name penetrated Italy, France
and even England. where it was used
as the feminine of Martin But it
has almost dropped out of usage, Mar
ella alone surviving
The cat's-eye is Marcia's talismanic
stone and is charm against evil splr
the treachery of others. Thursday is
her lucky day and 6 her lucky num-

Sends ParSon Dollar
for Each Married Year

Rev. r. N. McKaig of Mime
apolis, Mimi, recently received
letter and 500 from a man
whom he had married 20 years
before. He had forgotten all
about the couple until he re-
ceived the letter.
The letter said, that after 20
years of cruising on the sea of
matrimony, the writer found
that his wife is more wonderful
than ne ever dreamed she could
he. For this the writer was
thankful and therefore he sent
the preacher one dollar for each
year of his happily welded life.

Opened a Pandora Box.

THE newspapers are having the time of their
i young lives quoting extracts from President
Harding's New York speeches in contrast with
Ambassador Harvey's Pilgrim society speech. They
wonder if Mr.. Harvey has had any authority to
tack his expression of opinion as a tag on the ad-
minstration and If the President did not delber
ately give the country sort of antitoxin for his
ambassadors pronunciamento.
The President said of our soldier dead: "They
saw democracy challenged and defended it. They
saw civilization threatened and rescued it. They
saw our nations rights imperled and stamped those
rights with a new sanctity and renewed security" "
This, as is declared, hardly harmonizes with Mr..
Hafvey's cynicism: Far more prevalent until re-
Gently, the impression that we went to war to
rescue humanity from all sorts Of menacng pers.
Not few remain convinced that sent young
soldiers across to save this kingdom, (Great Brit
ain), France and Italy That is not the fact We
sent them solely to the United States of
America and most reluctantly and aggardy at that
Indeed Ambassador Harvey has reopened a
Pandora box of controversy to the war; the league
and the election. Many newspapers restste things
that occurred in the campaign preceding the election
which he says returned majority OF 100000
wholly against the league of nations into which this
country can never be "beguiled" From New York
500 business cabed Lord Robert Cecil that they
voted for Mr.. Harding, but not of Mr.. Har-
vey's 100000
They, and Others recall that before the election,
a considerable group of Republican leaders in whom
the people had and have the utmost confidence.
stated to the public that in voting for Mr.. Harding
they were not voting against the league Millions
took this to heart, when they marked their ballots.
1t is also recalled that up to the adjournment
of congress Just before the convention, majority
of the republicans of the senate stood for the
league with reservations and at no time during the
campaign were the voters told even by Mr.. Harvey
in his Weekly, that this government could never be
"beguled" into the league. In fact to many, it
was Mr. Wilson who made the issue: League with
and without reservations and not League and no
league" There seems still to be decided opinion
that there were millions of votes for Mr.. Harding
that are not in Mr.. Harveys 100000, and the
newspapers have rather joyously reopened the pre-
election controversy.

Industrial Team Play.

WYE ARE not looking for chances to differ with
w Mr.. Gompers, but certainly do do in his
opposition to closer relations between employing
companies and their workers in plant management.
1t goes with the saying that he is right, that the
sincerity of purpose of employers, their whole
hearted interest in their employees, can be shown
best in the contents of pay envelopes"
But there is another side to this. The
contents of the pay envelope must first be earned
by production and sales There is such thing in
