SADIE

-HE quaint name of Sadie. lately
sneIt Sadye. has it's origin with
Sarah. II comes from a Hebrew
verb meaning to fight or rule, and
hence came to signify princess" The
first record of the use of Sarah or
Sara belongs to Bible history where
the wife of Abraham was so called.
Sadie came into existence through
the Irish-unless one cares to believe
that she is only an AmericaniJauon
OF one of Sarah's many diminutives.
But for the sake of genealogical ex-
actness. il is nice 70 believe that the
Irish Sadhbh was the real forerunner
of Sadie.
But between the time of Abraham's
wife and the appearance of the irish
version of her name. Sarah had been
adopted by other countries and had
won great popularity. In England
Sara Beauchamp gave it vogue in the
reign Of Edward | and Sarrota de
Moulton, who lived in former reign
was also supposed to possess name
which was another ana laVoflte FORM
of Sarah.
The French preferred Sara without
the 'h" and ii still continues In great
vogue there. They have another form,
Sarotte. which is also popular. Ire
lands Sadhbh and Americas Sadie are
apparently the only other existing
forms.
Sadie has curious talismanic gem
-malachite. If it is engraved with
an image of the sun, il will bring her
peace. freedom from danger and dis
case, and sound sleep. 1t is particu'
larly lucky for children. and, il is said
that a piece of malachite tied to a
childs cradle will protect it from dan
gers throughout later life. Saturday
is Sadie's lucky day and Z her lucky
number.

NOW THE PARLEY's OVER

For whatever of good has been
accomplished by the recent confer
ence at Washington the world is
grateful; for whatever is bad. the
world will have to pay. Peace is
so much the boon of the average
soul that anything that will encour-
age 1t is welcomed; and by the same
token anything that serves to dis
pei or imperil it, is discomforting.
Time will be needed to measure
fully the, value of the accomplish
ments at Washington. Obviously
If the arms limitation treaties are
observed, a great economic blessing
will fall upon taX-ridden govern
ments, our own included. But even
a reduction i'll government naval
expense may be a tremendous
price to pay, if. as some now assert.
the effect of the arrangements
made is to give Japan an advantage
over the United States through the
formers proximity to the isles of
the Pacific and other spots that
might some day be the scene of con-
5liCt.
The navy of the United States
today is superior to that of Japan
on paper, but If the need should
arise for the American navy to
meet that of Japan across the seas
five thousand miles of ocean would
reduce our navy to an inferior posi-
ton. Proportionate reductions in
both navies on the familiar $50
basis still leaves Japan in a superior
position if its challenge to naval
combat is accepted in her own
waters.
There still remains in the treaties
of the arms. conference that funda-
mental menace 10 world peace
the alliance. Whether five or nine
nations sign the treaties and whe-
ther the purpose be peace or some
thing else. the fact remains that
only part of the nations have so
agreed and the risk is that some
other group of nations will also
agree to act together. Ii that be
the case then the ante -bellum status
of balance of power is again erect
ed and the probability of war in
creased.
But if nothing sinister or un-
wise was done at Washington: if
all that it did was in the interest
of an advanced civilization what
a misfortune for humanity that
not all the nations instead of only
a few are involved in a peace
preserving pact. AS has been
pointed out, representatives of the
United States at the Arms Con-
ference were not set upon by in
ternational bandits and robbed. of
their purse as opponents of the
League OF Nations predicted if
