Is TT FITCH?

- II
If your name Is Fitch you have two
alternatives in the way Of surname
origin. Usually it is an animal nick
name. The fitch meant originally no
creature more nor less than the pole
cat and it has survived in the list
Of surnames as Fitch, Fitchett and
Fitchew. However. in some few In
stances at least It has the same origin
as the surname Fitz. This was the
significance of "son." "Fiz' was the
original form.
The founder OF the most dlstin-
guished family of the name in this
country was an Englishman, Joseph
Fitch, who was one Of the early pio-
neers OF Windsor, Conn. His great
great grandson. John Fitch, gained
international reputation as the in

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Curry-One suggested origin for
this name is that is desrived from
the Scotch, Corrie. meaning a noun
tain glen. Again it may be derived
from the place name Curry in Som
e~rsetshire, England. Another deriv-
alton has been suggested-that is
that in some cases it is taken from

SCHEDULE LODGE
FOR HOT GOING
Believe Mass. Solon Has Greatest
Fight in History Ahead; Cam
palgn viii Be "SizzIer' Say
Political Sharks.
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN,

United Press Stagg Correspondent.
Copyright, 1922, by United Press.)
Washington, Oct. 18.-"What do
you hear about Lodge?' is a ques-
tion frequently asked in Washington
political circles these days, and the
answer usually is "Not a thing"
Everybody hereabouts expected
Lodge to find himself this fall in the
vortex Of political storm that
might sweep him out of public life.
The Massachusetts primary cam
paign, in which Lodge was renom-
mated for the senate and Col. VIM.
A. CASTOR was selected as his demo-
cratic adversary, developed great bit
terness. 1t was, in fact, one Of the
"meanest'' campaigns Massachusetts
ever saw. And it was freely pre-
dicted that the Lodge-Gaston cam
paign would be a "sizzler."
But the contestants seem to have
exhausted themselves in the pri-
mary struggle Either that, or their
New England reserve triumphed
finally over the abandon Of the pri-
mary contest. In any event the
campaign is being conducted with the
utmost decorum.

ROTARY To PACK
HOUSES, OUTLOOK
80 Minutes After Board Opened This
Morning, Over Half Of First
Night Seats Reserved; Much
Interest Being Shown.

From indications this morning at
$3.50. the Rotary Minstrel Revue will
play to packed houses both Thurs
day and Friday nights at the Sugg
when the local club stages its first
annual minstrel fete.
AT $3.50, fully half the reserved
seats for the Thursday night per-
formance had been taken and there
was a steady demand for the tick
cts, patrons calling in person and
by phone for reservations for the
first night. There has been no
check made as yet on the actual
number of exchangeable tickets dis
posed of, but indications were that
there would be many who would be
forced to use their "exchangeabes"
for the Friday night performance.
Many who had not bought these adj
vance tickets W. ? paying the cash
at the board 70. ducats for Thurs
day nights performance.
To Walter Merrell goes the credit
for drawing the first pair of re-
served seat tickets from the board
at Brownson's this morning. He
was on the job at o'clock this
morning and refused to give up his
place in line until the board was
thrown open at o'clock.
Never before, perhaps, have Chick
asha business men entered into the
spirit of home talent show as
they have to "help Rotary help the
boys" Here's an instance Ticket
statesmen called on B. H. Gadd. 81
need two tickets, but I'll buy ten"
said Mr. Gadd. "You keep the other
eight and when you find worthy
person who desires to go and has
not the cash to pay, give him a
ticket. Keep it up until the eight
are gone"
