THIS FREEDOM?

We bye iii the traditional land OF the

freedonti A dweller of the United States
ambles along pretty well until he begins to
imagints himself free and begins TO voice 4
few opinions and then he finds out exactly
his own status and in nearly every case he
finds he is absolutely devoid of any freedom
He can not say what he peaScS unless he
pleases to say exactly what his neighbors
happen to think. He is bound hand ard
foot When it comes to thinking and acting
lust as his conscience would direct him.

that rules, but the mobS. There is mob
spirit that dictates everywhere. We eau
say and do things in Virginia we would not
dare in any other section Of the country. We
may have opinions here that would prove
disastrous to lis at any other place.

OUR TRADE WITH EUROPE.
AND WITH THE WORLD

grand divisions has steadily in
creased with the growth in our
exports of manufactures, which
are especially in demand in the
non-European world. Prior to
1900 Europe took from IS to so
per cent of Our total exports
while all other parts of the world
took from 20 to Is per cent.
With the enormous increase in
our exports of manufactures.
which jumped from $485, 100000 in
1900 to $1,732OO0,O00 in the calen-
dar year 1922, it is quite natural
that the per cent Of the exports
sent to the mountaineering
world should show an increase
and the share sent to manufacture
ing Europe a corresponding de-
crease. So it turns out that the
share Of our total exports which
went to North America other than
the United States was in the cal
endar year 1922 24% against
1917 in the fiscal year 1900, to
South America about $50 against
less than 80, to Asia l2% against
less than so in 1900. As a conse-
quence of this increase in the ex-
ports of manufactures it is quite
natural that the Percentage which
manufacturing Europe took of our
total exports should show a de-
cline, and thus the STARE of our
1922 exports sent to Europe stood
at $40 in 1922 against 60% in the
fiscal year 1913, though the total
value Of merchandise sent to that

continent in 1922 was far in excess
of that of 1918, standing in dollar
values at 2,083,0O0.00O in 1922
against $1.47o 100000 in 1918.
The big growth in our exports
of manufactures which has
changed the percentage of our ex-
ports to the various grand divi
sions. adds the Trade Record. can
only be fully appreciated when we
compare the totals of the current
year with those of the pre-war
period. The latest figures of our
exports by great groups of articles
indicate that the value of manu-
features exported in the calendar
year 1923 will exceed $2.OO0OOO,0O0
against $l,l0O,OO0,OOO in the year
Immediately preceding the war.
$475, 100000 in 1900, $188,0OO,OOO in
1890. and $l22.OO0,OOO in 1880, when
Europe was taking 800 of our
total exports and the balance of
the world only 1870.
With the big stocks of manufac.
turers which we are able to offer
to purchasers abroad, the nom
manufacturing world now takes
45% of our total exports against
149o in 1880 when we began the
enlargement of our production of
manufactures for the export trade.
Manufactures form from Is to 90
per cent of our exports to the non
manufacturing countries, while
manufacturing material and food
stuffs form the bulk of the exports
to manufacturing Europe.

September trade of the United
States with Europe and with the
world as a whole shows crafty
ing gains and this is especially
true in the figures of our COM
merce with Europe. The Septem-
Der imports from that continent
exceed by over 100000 those of
the same month of last year, and
the exports thereto are $H,OOO,OOO
in excess of those of September,
1922. The imports from that con-
tinent show an, increase OF about
so in dollar value and the exports
thereto are 22% greater than those
of September of the preceding
year. Merchandise sent to that
grand division in September form
$50 of the total exports as against

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

ESTHER is the most prominent in
l. a group of four names for girls,
all derived from the same root
and. consequently, all of the same
meaning. The three others are Hes
ter, Estele and Hetty. The confus-
ion of these names was begun in re-
mote times. The original name,
Esther. was derived directly from the
old Persian word, ''stara," meaning
star The Hebrew version of the
word is Hadassah, pronounced as
though it were spelled Atossa.
The familiar quotation. Hitch your
wagon to d star" might we'll be given
as the motto for Esther and the
others of this group but the motto
generally assigned her is my divin-
ity." Because the Hebrew Hadassah
also means myrtle. this has been
chosen as the flower for Esther. 1t is
interesting to note that the flower of
the myrtle is traditionally said to be
sacred to Venus, the goddess of
beauty and love.
The first Esther was the queen
from whom one of the Old Testament
books takes it's name. She was the
daughter of Abigail and the cousin
and adopted daughter of Mordecai, of
the tribe of Benjamin. She was placed
on the throne as queen instead of
Nashti, by King Ahasuerus and by
having this position of power, She was
d BILE to protect her people against
the evil contrivances of Haman. The
deIiverance of her people at this time
is still celebrated by the feast of
Purim.
Handel wrote a famous oratorio on
the subject of Esther. The words
were taken from the play by Racine,
written for the pupils of St. Cyr, with
music by Moreau, at the special re-
quest of Nine. de Maintenon. 1t was
enacted by these girl students before
the king.
, At the time when the Romans in
vaded Britain they carried the name
Esthera with them as a popular name
for girls The British adopted il in
the form Hestera, which in later DAYS
the English abbreviated into Hetty
Many consider Hetty as an abbrevia-
tion for Henrietta. but it is in reality
the nickname for Hester, or Hestera
Because the great religious leader,
Martin Luther, didn't approve of the
name Esther, it is not found as a
popular name among German girls or
others who follow the Lutheran form
of religion.
Other versions of the name are
Estelle, preferred by the French, and
directly taken from the Persian word
for star. The Spaniards and Portu-
guese use the forms Stella, Estrella
and Estreutta
