NAME is IMPORTANT THING
Writer of Boys Stories Must Select
Those of His Hero and Viii
lain With Care.

1t is wonderful how much depends
upon getting effective names for both
hero and villain In boys stories, writes
literary correspondent. Certain
names, and particularly certain COM
binations of names, make a subtle ap-
peal to the writer and actually help
him In his work. Jim, Joe, Bill, Dick,
Tom. and Harry are names still as
much in common use as ever they
were. Yet if the writer Of boys
story is going to use one of them he
must be careful to combine it with a
surname that Is of less common Or
der. For instance, you could call your
hero Dick Sterne, but Harry Jenkins
would be simply unthinkable. The
youth of the present day have the crit
ical faculty highly developed and, to
the best of my belief, prefer names
that are little out Of the common.
Personally, 1 generally call my hero
Roger, Basil, Owen Digby, Roy, Boyd,
or by some name of similar type. 1t
Is worth remembering that the hero's
name should, if possible, be short. Al
SO his nationality should always be
indicated by his name. Desmond, for
instance for an Irish boy; Douglas
for Scot; while Bud or Hank will
Indicate an American.

ROCKEFELLER FOR
DRY LEAGUE PROBE
Answers Charges of Anderson;
Exonerates Fosdick; Calls for
Showdown of Secret Fund.

New York.--On the eve of the grand
the finances of the Anti-Saloon
League William H. Anderson. its
State superintendent, lashed out at
those he declared to be in "desper-
ate and far rfeaching conspiracy"
against him. The effort, far from be-
ing confined to the criminal liquor
interests" he charged, is being spon-
sored by Tammany, wet Republican
machine politicians and wet financial
interests, which are using 'as de
facto stool pigeon, wet-talking, per-
sonally hostile employee of the John
d. Rockefellers, themselves staunch
friends of prohibition"
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., after hear
ing over the long distance telephone
at his home at Ormond Beach, Fla,
the speech delivered by Mr.. Anderson,
authorized the following statement:
=. I had hoped that it would not be
necessary for me or any of my repre-
sentatives to make any public COM
ment upon the inquiry into the activi-
ties of the officers of the Anti-Sa.oon
League. In view of Mr.. Anderson's
speech today, however, it seemss de-
sirable to state our position.
1t is regrettable that Mr.. Anderson
should imagine that there is any con-
spiracy in which any representative
of mine is a participant to discredit
him or his work. l specially regret
that in the heat of this situation he
has seen fit to associate Mr.. Raymond
B. Fosdick with any wet conspiracy"
to hamstring the Anti-Saloon League.
1t would be most unfortunate if in
quiry should reveal any Irregularities
or improprieties on the part of any
officers or employees Of the Anti
Saloon League. | earnestly hope that
nothing of the kind will be developed
by the pending investigation.
