TILE simple little name of Minnie
has a most devious history. It or
iginated away back in Teutonic myth
ology, where, according to the story,
when creation began, the COW An
dumbla licked out of the stones a man
named Bur, who was the grandfather
of three primeval gods, Odin, witt and
We, and it was. these three who gave
life to the first pair of human beings.
Will was the Will Of man. His name
echoes down through the ages Of
Morse mythology in various combina-
tons, which SAVIOR boldly of Valhan
and prefaces many other names.
The Frank Queen Biiichilde was
really Willihilda, meaning resolute
battle. Her name was popular among
Morse maidens and even had vogue in
Teutonic countries. Wilhelm was
made in Germany and signified res
olute helmet" The feminine counter
part Of this name was Wilhelmina.
Always popular in Germany, it was
adopted by England and penetrated
Holland where the most famous mod
ern woman who bears the name is
Queen Wilhelmina, beloved of the
Dutch.
England found the name a trifle
cumbersome in spite of it's regality
and it gradually changed under Brit
ish influence to Wilmet, Wilmot, Nina
and finally the popular diminutive Min
ME. America has reached out and
extracted Minnie from the numerous
derivatives, discarding almost all 9TH
ers, with the occasional exception Of
Wilhelmina, which invariably changes
to "Willie' or rBi1lie'' under our pref
erence for diminutive.
France makes the name even more
ponderous by calling it Guiller"ume
Guillemette, Minette, Guilette, and
Mimi. In Spain Guillemina is popular
and in Italy. Guglielma. Wilhamine

Measure Abuses Credit

COST IS ESTIMATED
Would Mean an Outlay Of $500, 000, 900
to $500, 600 900 for First Years and
5000, 100000 Annually for Next
Fl Years, Secretary Says.

Washington-The new soldiers
bonus bill as drawn by House Repub-
llcans was attacked by Secretary Mel
lon as involving "a dangerous abuse
OF government credit"
Replying to request for the treas
urys comment on the new bonus bill,
Mr.. Mellon in letter to Chairman
Fordney of the House Ways and
Means committee, made public by the
Treasury, sharply criticized the fea-
lures of the proposed measure provid-
ing for loans by banks upon adjusted
service certificates as indirect and
forced borrowing by the govern
ment.
He suggested that the direct and
regular way to provide for a paid-up
endowment insurance feature would
be to authorize insurance certificates
with provision for direct policy loans
to be financed by the government. Mr..
Mellon contended that lit is both dan
gerous and unwise' to attempt to avoid
the cost of the bonus for the time be-
ing.

which the American taxpayer can
avoid the burden, and if bonus is to
be imposed it is far better for all con-
cerned that it be placed upon direct
and definite basis and paid for each
year out of current revenues. To do
this at this time will necessarily mean
the imposition OF additional taxes for
this purpose
Cost Estimated.
The secretary estimated the cost of
the bonus under the bill considering
each of the possible choices offered to
veterans, at more than $1,200,000,0O0
by January l, 1926. Whatever form
the bonus measure might take, he as
serted, would mean a cost to the gov
eminent Of from $3O0,OOO,000 to $780,
100000 for the next three or four
years and possibly continuing liabili-
ties thereafter of more than $780,
100000 year until 1913
Accompanying his letter Mr.. Mellon
transmitted statistical tables prepared
BY Treasury experts showing the vary
ing cost of a bonus according to what
percentage of veterans might choose
the different plans of payment offered.
Harding's Letter Recalled.
Mr.. Mellon called attention to the
fact that the bill makes no provision
for raising additional revenue to meet
the cost of the bonus and recalled to
Mr. Fordney, President Harding's let
ter of February 16, in which it was
suggested that a general sales tax be
enacted to provide the necessary
funds or the bonus legislation be post
poned.
