VARIATiON-Dobbs.
RACIAL ORtGiN-Enaiish.
SOURCE-A given name.

1t is quite evident from the "son"
ending of the family name Of Dobson
that this belongs to that Justification
of surnames whose origin is patro-
nymic.
But what Is the given name from
which the family name is so deriveda
It's dollars to doughnuts that you
never met a man bearing it, for the
name, or rather the variation of the
name, is obsolete, but 1t was wide
spread in medieval England.
Dob was one OF the many forms
which the given name of Robert took
in the days just preceding the~begin-
ming of the family name movement
when population was growing faster
than the name supply, and finally
made the adoption Of two names nee
essary to distinguish the individual
from his fellows.
Robert was name brought into
England by the Normans. Though of
Teutonic origin and quite common in
the northern Teutonic stock from
which the Normans came, it was
hardly known to the Saxons.
1t is r compound of the ancient
words rode meaning counsel"
and 'beohrt.'' from which our modern

are developments. 1t meant, of
course, bright counsel"

Nicely Shaped Fingernails.

There is no excuse nowadays for
ugly fingernails. Every woman can
have beautifully manicured hands: 1t
is only a matter of learning to use
Ia few labor saving devices and OF pro-
tecting the hands with gloves, then
of learning how to manicure them.
The hands require a certain amount
OF attention each day, but once you
become clever at it that need not take
much time.
The first thing is to learn how to
shape the nails. IL you do any sort
of work keep them fairly short. for
long nails are sure to break. They
should be slightly pointed. with the
point coming just to the edge OF the
finger. II the fingers are very short.
however, the point of the nall may
extend very little distance beyond.
as this gives length. If the fingers are
too long the nails should be rounded
on the edge. with only the faintest
suggestion OF a point. Once you have
shaped the nails satisfactorily they
are good for at least a week. You
need only go over the edges quickly
each day with an emery board, not
to shape them but to give them
fresh looking edge.

cherished recipes to give readers. It
is recipe famous in one Of the
English tea shops where delica acies
are featured. You know, in these
shops, or rooms" as we call them
In this country, more things than tea
and it's accompa niment OF toasted
muffins, fancy cakes. etc, are served.
In some tearooms here in America
tea or some beverage and the things
that go with it are all that are to

more substantial viands as well as
the afternoon tea specialties. Some
of these things are hearty. The one
I am giving the recipe for is such a
dish. 1t may be served for luncheon
or Sunday supper.
EGG FRITTERs.
The recipe is so simple and easy to
n
try 1t. The dish is called egg fritters
with cheese sauce. and IT is served
with potato chips. The eggs are boiled
hard. This should take half an hour
TO be assured that the eggs have that
firm yet mealy texture so desirable.
Then they are cut in halves, length
wise. This gives them a good fritter
shape. Each half is dipped In batter
made OF slightly beaten egg seasoned
with salt and pepper and thickened
trif1e with -four to give it the cor
rect consistency. The frittfrs are
then fried like any other kind. Deep
fat frying is best.
CHEESE SAUCE.

cheese. one and one-quarter table

Hope $4,OOO,OOO
Fund Is Granted

Hopes Of District school officials
are high for generous treatment in
the matter of appropriations at the
hands of Congress during the com
ing session.
Following the lengthy conference
on school estimates with the Fed
eral Budget Board yesterday, Doc
tor Frank W. Ballou, superin-
tendent of District schools. stated
that he and his associates were
pleased and encouraged at the re-
suit.
One of the principal detectives
of the school authorities at the
money meeting was to get a
81 900, 900 item incorporated in the
final approved estimates, this rep
resenting the first years Install
ment on the five-year school build
ing program.
While Doctor Ballou was not at
liberty to disclose exactly what took
place at the meeting in connection
with this matter or with other esti-
mates, it was evident that he was
given reason to expect that Fed
eral Budget Officer Herbert M.
Lord recognizes the needs of the
schools in this method to relieve
congestion. and will make recon-
mendations to Congress accord
ingly.

After a four-day hearing, at

at the attitude taken by the Budget
Bureau at the discussion of the

Many of the heads of the various
departments have added the weight
of their testimony to the confer.
ences. Each seems assured that
his arguments were given careful
consideration.
School items occupied much of
the time at the latter hearings and
it is believed that extremely favor
able views were taken. Estimates
of the Police and Health depart
ments were also kindly received, it
is understood
Prior to the presentation of he
estimates before Congress, adjust

cordance with the opinions offered
by the members of the Budget BIZ

ers. Further discussion before Con.
gress of the revised items will then
be in order
