Two-to-One Chance Candidate
for Whom Youngster is Nam"
ed Will Be Defeated
BY HAIRY B. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Par-
tisan-minded persons, who feel the
urge to demonstrate their loyalty
by naming their masculine progeny
utter Tie presidential candidate Ct
their f;lyo.e1 party place a heavy
handicap ca their offspring.
To begin with, should the candi-
date for whom the child is named
be he winner in the campaign, Il
mark of achievement is at onee
established for the name which the
namesake can hardly expect to
equal.
No matter what his accomplish
ments may be, alongside those of
his neighbors and average citizens,
he is not measured by these stand
ards but by the standard of the
illustrious parsonage whose mare
he bears.
Sinfflarly-and this year there is
a two-to-one chance that such will
be the case-should the candidate
for whom a given youngster is
named be defeated, the child is at
once hampered by bearing the
name of one"who couldn't make
! the grade.
Psychologically, such situation
is bad for the child, psychoana
lytical experts maintain.
SO if any of your friends are toy
ing with Che thought of naming
children Calvin Coolidge Jones, :"
or Bob La Toilette Brown" or
John Davis Smith," give them a
warning. Tell them Don't" Give
the youngsters a chance to develop
their own personality; don't STAR

dicap.

For years she had been dreanl-

Where once she had to worry
about getting a job, now she had
only to think about the automobile
she wanted. No longer did she
have to wait on the whilns of 9th

warmth of a father and mother to

Yet her happiness is fact waning
She is ready to cast it all aside,
and revert to her former life Of

To answer the cal of the city!
Miss King had been reared in
New York City, Newark, N. j.,
and suburbs. After a hard days
work she found pleasure in tho
crowded streets, the theaters, the
large shops. They became part of
her very life.
There was no family group to

populace that makes the city.
For the past 81 years the girl

The battle between final love
and devotion, intensified by year:

perhaps, will come acclimation.
