Mountain Girls
OF Georgia

THE American girl who has spent
l. all her life in the mountains has
been made famous by popular writer's
OF American novels, but in this day
of F. Scott Fitzgerald fiappers there
are few people who do not live in
mountainous regions who realize that
TINS other type of girl still exists
ana is almost a different being from
the modern girl of city life.
Mrs. Lamar Rutherford Lipscomb
OF Atlanta, Ga, chairman of the Ma
tlonal Woman'S Party in her state
said in Washington recently that
these girls are gradually becoming
Interested in more things than their
immediate surroundings. but that
even today the height of their am
billions, in general, is to get a beau
as soon as possible and get married
Then they want flivver, and are
willing to learn to make jellies, rag
rugs and baskets to exhibit at the
annual fair. With these products and
their young husbands they go to the
fair perfectly happy. These girls fire.
quently marry while in their early
teens.
Mrs. Lipscomb has spent a large
proportion of her time at her noun
tain home. Jaquelin Lodge, in Ray
burn county, northeastern Georgia
Here she holds annual rallies of the
women and girls of the ninth con-
gresslona1 district, composed of nine
teen counties. These counties cover
what was once Cherokee land and
the Inhabitants are all of Anglo
Saxon blood
Here the women, mostly young
girls. gather at the annual fair and
hold their exhibitions of cookery and
other work such as Mrs. Lipscomb
has taught them to accomplish
Here. too, Mrs. Lipscomb invites the
men and women who are not in SYM
pathy with the motives of the Ma
tional Woman'S Party. These are the
speakers and the party members are
the listeners.
She was the first woman to urge
the raising of the age limit for mar
riage in her state. and will shortly
go before the state legislature at a
special session this month, when she
will offer a number of bills for the
revision of laws that discriminate
against women. These bills include
the equalization of parental rights,
to give wives the right to their own
earnings, to give woman teachers the
same pay as men, to allow women to
serve on juries and many others. AS
some of the laws now stand, a father
has the right to appoint a guardian
to take care of his child and take 1t
away from its mother should the
father die.
Mrs. LipScomb, who is working in
the interest of the women of her
state, is a graduate of the Lucy Cobb
Institute of Athens, Ga, and spent
two years studying in Vienna. Aus

An Airb7ane With
Feminine Abbea1

4 THOUGH many women and girls
n are becoming fans over the COM
paratively new sport of airplaning,
hitherto the machine itself has been
constructed with an eye to mechani-
cal correctness rather than dainty
finish. The airplane with charming
color scheme and glittering acceso-
ries to parallel the luxurious limou-
sine that intrigues milady's eye in
the world of automobiles. has not yet
been seriously considered by max ers
Shf aircraft. During Shrine week,
however. such an airplane was ex-
hipited at Boiling Field and accom-
modated number of women, visit
ing the field with their Shriner hus-
hands, with short hops
This ship" as the officers in the
air service call airplanes. is a De
Iaviland-9 plane with a twelve
cylinder Liberty motor. 1t is owned
by the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics and has the COM
'mittee's name neatly printed in gilt
letters with the air service insignia
also in gilt on light gray back
ground.
Although the pilot sits imm ediately
behind the engine, the two passenger
seats de luxe are inclosed tandem
style in a miniature cabin with a hood
stered in striped gray and blue
fuvetyn and fitted out with silver
cigarette lighters and ash trays. No
rIst that fills ones nose and mouth
when riding in the open and gathers
around the edges of goggles can
penetrate here, and it is not neces-
Sary for one to don the heavy leather

Field, Hampton, Va. and Boiling
Field for special conferences and
consultations. Thomas Carroll, the
pilot, is the chief test pilot of the
National Advisory Committee and is
a graduate of Georgetown University.
He had much experience as a pilot in
the service during the war and is
Justly proud of his little ship"
When riding in this delightful
little cabin airplane one has all the
pleasant sensations of flying with
none of the annoyances of dirt and
wind. 1t is possible to converse casu-

type of "air roadster" that any girl
\ would love to have.

~ saints. three having been women

Great. born in Germany January 8.
1856, was the most noted. OF simple
peasant parentage, she early attract
ed the eye of a noble patron and was
placed in the convent of Helfta when
only flve years old. Here she stud
led the liberal arts for twenty years
and, when twenty five years old be-
came obsessed with many visions of
supernatural nature. She then de :
voted herself to the study of Scrip
lures and wrote "fnsinuations of Di-
vine Piety" in Latin. This was the

Gertrude is also a popular name for
characters in literature. Shakespeare
is credited with having introduced
the name into literature with his
character sometimes called Gerutha,
the mother of Hamlet.
Probably the most noted Gertrude
Of modern literature was Gertrude of
Wyoming, heroine of a poem by
Thomas Campbell. She lived during
the time of the American revolution
in the valley of the Wyoming in
Pennsylvania. The valley was con-
stantly invaded and ravaged by In
dams. Gertrude is said TO have been
a lovable young girl: who roamed
the forests and read Shakespeare.
She fell in love with Albert Waldo
grave. an orphan saved by Indians
from slaughter by the British forces.
They were married and lived happily
until both were killed in an inva-
sion by Brant and the Indians.
Gertrude is a name that has few
variations or diminutives. Gerutha
and Gertrude are old forms of the
name and the principal nicknames
are Gertie and Trude or Trooda.

History of pnur Same.
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOwLAN.
VAN buren,.
RACIAL ORIGIN-Dutch.
SOURCE-a locality.

Here is family name. the first part
of which reveals it as having origi-
mated in Holland. 1t belongs to the
classification of place names, but
there are three different places from
which it may have been derived.
The wan" of course, betrays the
Dutch rather than the German de-
velopment But there is place
named Buren, in Westphalia, Prussia,
and in Switzerland and near Bern,
as well as the Dutch town of Buren,,
in the province of GelderIand.
Without a doubt the majority of
Van BurenS took the name in the first
place because they had formerly lived
in the Holland town but it is by no
means out of the question that in
some cases the cause for the first
use of the name might have been
traceable to a former residence eth
er in Westphalia or Switzerland.
While communication and travel In
the middle ages, at the period when
family names developed, was nothing
like that of more modern times, there
was, nevertheless, considerable
trade carried on between the various
commercial centers of Europe, and
the merchants of medieval times
were responsible for transplanting
many names from one language into
another.

LAND is SECURED
FOR SPORTY GOLF
COURSE AT BOERNE
Fifty Acres Contracted for
to Lay Out Nine
Holes.

Plans TO build a golf course in
Boerne, which have been under way
for some time, were put into tangible
form Tuesday when a contract was
signed for the purchase of so acres of
land on the north edge of the city lin
Its. The Boerne Golf Club will be in
corporated at once for $4,000 and
bonds issued.
The site under contract is part Of
the l.. Fabra tract to the north of the
city, and lies approximately half a
mile from the heart of the business
district. San Antonio golf enthusiasts.
who are taking an active interest in
getting the club under way, have
looked the proposed course over and
believe that it can be made ore of the
most beautiful and sportiest in this
part of the country
The ground is skirted on the west
by the Cibolo creek and on the east by
rolling ground. Through its center
runs a large winding ditch, which,
with little work. can be made into
treacherous hazards and sand bunkers.
lt is planned at present to build the
clubhouse on a prominence in the
southeast corner of the tract overlook
ing the course. A grove of live oaks
covers the proposed site for the house,
and landscape architects say that with
a little work it can be made into a
most attractive club.
1t is planned to build nine holes at
once. If it is decided later to enlarge
the course, additional land is available
adjoining the present grounds on the
west side of the Cibolo. Water can be
obtained at a shallow depth, it is said.
and, as soon as the construction of
the course is started, well will be
dug and a tank erected on one of the
high spots on the east side of the
grounds from which the green can be
irrigated.
