NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

TLARA Is another inspiring name
~ FOR girls which. like Lucy. has a
Neaning that should prove an en-
couragement to ambitious girls.
Whereas Lucy means light" Clara
means bright" or clear" being
likewise direct feminine version of
the Latin. This IS therefore a very
unfortunate name for g. stupid girl to
have. The sentiment foT Clara is
tfair aud fascinating." aad the white
tarnation IS her flower.
Clara is another short name which
cannot possibly have an ugly abbre-
Walton made of It. There are many
very pretty forms OF the name as
used in different countries.
Italians have modified the old Latin
into the modern Clar!ss.a. and Shira
IS also used in the land of spagh etta;
French have Claire. Clare and Clar-
cite; Bretons use Sklearl; Gerinaus,
Kleare and klaerchen; Finnish. l.arn,
and the English, Clarinda, Clarice and
Claribel.
fThere were three St. Claras, the
most famous Of whom was Clara. the
italian girl, who was the first woman
to enroll as nun under Francis OF
Assist. She vas born IN .uly. 11a4,
and died IN 1853. She WAS young
when she decided to girn her lif.
wholly to work for God in povertT.
and was eighteen years cid when she
sought and received advice rom St
Francis Of her nattvc town, .iss!s!.
II was not long before ot.lc. young
girls Joined her. and sou1 l definite
religious order was founded. In f324
ST. Francis gave the nurs % this or
Ger rule 70 be substituted tc- the
extremely rigorous rul= of =. Bcne-
dict, which they had previously
adopted. Two years after her death
Clara was canonized b. Alexander ".
The order founded by this young
girl became known as the Poor
called the Order OF St. Clara. The
EARLIEST name given them was the
CIDER of Poor Ladies. st. Clara has
been called the Princess OF Poverty
and she is said to have ascended to
heaven on mantle.
Clara was a favorite name for the
heroines OF the plays Of Moliere, the
great French dramatist, and Charles
Dickens has Clare in his "Eleak
House" Sir Walter Scott made Lady
character. She was the heroine Of
"Marmion." Claribel vas the bride
of Ph:ton in Spencer's "Faerie Cueeac"
and was also inmortaltZed in = poem
byjTennyson.
Clara was n character IN Sher!dan's
"Duenna" and was also the name OF
a character in Goethe's "Egmont"
Clarinda was the name Of one. Of the
many loves of Bobby Burns and
Claire figures in the love letters OF
Victor Hugo.
Some Of the most elaborate YER
sions of Clara are Clarisst,na. which
means the very brightest Esclair-
monde. Claridora and Clairrond.
Clarence is the masculine counter
part of Clara.
Clarissa HarloU-e was the heroine
OF the novel of the same name which
became the most famous Of the works
of}Samuei Richardson. This was the
first complete fictitious biography Of
q woman.
"ClarisSa iuriosa" was 4 story by

BUSINESS REVIVAL
IN PROGRESS, SAYS
FEDERAL REPORT
Improvement in Agricultural
Situation Is Predicted by
Reserve Board,

By Unifed PFC8S
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga sound
business revival is now in progress,
the Federal Reserve Board stated to-
day in it's annual report.
Postwar liquidation was definitely
halted last year and the business re
vival at once began, the report de
clared
Just as liquidation in 1921 first
affected the large cities of the East
and was slow in gathering momentum
in agriculture districts, so the in
creased borrowing of the last five
months has been most marked in the
Eastern industrial sections" the re
port says.
The year 1922 was a year Of almost
continuous recovery. Prices and pro
duction both increased but the pro-
duction Of basic commodities in
creased at a more rapid rate than the
level Of prices and at the end of the
year the output Of industry was
greater than at any time since 1920.
While the revival of 1922 has been
primarily industrial in character,
there has also been a decided improve
ment in the agricultural situation.
The farm value OF most of the i'm
portant crops was larger than in
the previous year owing both to great
yields and high prices. Prices of
agricultural products are still out Of
line, but a readjustment has been in
progress during the year"

EASTERN MARKETS
DRAG HOGS DOWN
Decline of 10 to 20 Cents Is
Made in Local Trade,

An oycr-Supply Of hogs in the East
which has resulted i'm breaking prices
on these markets caused hog prices TO
decline from 10 to 20 cents at the 10
cal livestock exchange today. The
break was hardly expected as Chi
cago receipts We're not unusually large
and the local receipts scarcely touched
5000. Local killers were bidding a
fiat quarter lower but bought few
hogs in the early deals. Some lights
sold at SS.65. twenty cents off Of Tues
days top. and heavies sold up from
$3.50. which was generally n dime
lower than Tuesdays quotation. The
bulk Of the hogs moved from $3.50
70 $3.50. Sows and pigs both reflected
the general market decline.
The cattle market showed strength
from the opening and active buying
was evident In the first half hour
Butcher cattle assumed the lead In
the early trades and lent strength TO
steer prices which also advanced
slightly. 81 eCeipts 500.
The worst break Of the days mar
I Ret was noticeable in calves which
/ lost fully a dollar from Tuesdays quo
tati0ns. a breaking Eastern market
caused the loss. Choice veals sold at
zI3 as compared with S14 on Tues
day and $3.50 a week ago. The bulk
Of the calves moved from $3.50 to
Sl3. Receipts 400.
The sheep and lamb market was

HIGH GRADE HOGS.
BRED IN INDIANA,
CO At PREMIUM
Local Market Establishes
Reputation Of Being
'Choicy,'

Why Indiana hogs bring from 25c
to soc more at the Indianapolis Live
Stock Exchange than hogs of similar
grades on the Chicago exchange is a
question frequently asked by the nov
ice who visits the Indianapolis yards
after scanning the bulletin boards for
the Chicago quotations.
The psychology which underlies the
higher prices Is not discernible on the
surface, but the seasoned trader will
curl his upper lip and cast his eye
over a drove of hogs and tell within
a fraction of a second whether any
Western or Southern fed hogs are be-
ing offered.
A few days ago a drove of south
ern hogs arrived at the yards for
shipment Even an amateur could
look at them and note the difference
I'm tteir appearance, but only
trained buyer could explain why they
brought from so cents to n dollar
less on the hundred than their kin
in the next pen. These hogs were
bred in Missouri and fed there until
they were nothing more than pigs and
then shipped to Illinois for the fat
tening process, in the hope that the
Illinois feeding could overcome the
shortcomings of their early rearing.
But not so, for when butchesed and
reduced to lard it probably would
have been found that the lard would
not harden at all. but would remain
liquid and consequently much less
useful than the lard TO be obtained for
seasoned hogs

ARTILLERY CAUSE
Of MOST WOUNDS
Statistics Show Contrast of
Civil and World Wars,

WASHINGTON, Feb 28.-Medical
records of the a. E. F. indicated that
artillery fire was responsible for 10
per cent of the gunshot wounds re-
ported. In the Civil War 0per cent
Of gunshot wounds were from small
arms and grenades.
The statistics are based on a study
Of 245, 100 Civil War gunshot wound
records and 1915 similar A. E. F.
returns. In more than 100000 Civil
War cases and in 1883 World War
cases, however, the nature Of the
missile inhicting the wound was not
recorded.
Wounds resulting from artillery fire
in the Civil War are classified as 8
per cent from Shell and cannon ball.
the A. Z. +. records show as per cent
under the same heading. Under
grape, canister and shrapnel," how
ever, the a. Z. F. shows "a per cent
and Civil War records less than /
per cent.
The figures are Of interest in con-
nection with the designs for new
helmets for the army. The present
records merely show that 80 per cent
of all gunshot wounds overseas were
to the upper extremities; 40 per cent
to the lower extremities; 10 per cent
to the head face and neck; 5 per cent
TO the thorax; ; per cent to the back
bone and spine, and per cent to thE
abdomen and pelvis. The civil wan
records follow the same averages to
a remarkable degree.
