He had devot ed over q half century to the work Of keeping the public mind alert through the medium of the editor lal page. Mir.

ALEXANDRA

A LEXANDRA is a famous name; 1t
"A is a feminine version of the title
Of the illustrious conqueror, Alexander
the Great. 1t was popular in all the
countries through which the peerless
Alexander swept, and for years after
his triumphant passage all male chill
dren were called after his name.
Alexandros was a favorite name in
Greece. The Maccabean Jews used
it and a martyed pope made it a
revered name in Italy.
The feminine was brought to Scot
land by Margaret Aetheling, who
learned 1t at the Hungarian court
where she was born and reared.
Alexa, Alexandra, and Alexandria
are several of it's forms. Alexia is
often found as a woman's name in
old records and accounts Of the Mid
die ages.
Alexandra is widely popular in Ger
many and Russia, as well as in the
other Continental nations. 1t has
seldom had much vogue in England,
except as a feminine given to per-
petuate the masculine Alexander,
where there have not been SON. to car
ry on the title. But c~uriously
enough, 1t is a favorite In this country.
The splendid ruby is Alexandra's
talismanic gem. 1t is fitting that this
emblem of courage and accomplish
ment and bodily vigor should be her
stone. Thursday is her lucky day and
6 her lucky number.

NATIONAL LOYALTY
Bv THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

r NEVER cared a great deal for Mar
i tin because in conversation he never
seemed to miss an opportunity to say
something not quite complimentary Of
his family. He was constantly COM
menting upon their weaknesses and
deficiencies.
Now / suppose that no one, II he
should go back far enough or inves-
tigate with due diligence, would find
his entire ancestry quite to his liking.
I asked Plumb once something about
his ancestry, and he replied that he
knew very little about them. He had
looked them up far enough to discev-
er that one Of his remote relatives
had been hanged for stealing. and at
that point his interest had waned. We
should probably all be equally sue
cessful If we went deeply into the
matter. Many of our relatives are not
all that we should like to have them.
But be that as 1t may, he is a pretty
poor chap who is not loyal to his
family, his college, or his country,
no matter what their faults are.
But loyalty does not necessitate
boasting. We can be loyal to cur fam
fly or to our country without constant
ly extolling the accomplishments or
the virtues Of either. Sometimes 81
lence is the best praise. When one
hears a man necessarily stressing the
virtues Of relatives we are likely to
wonder what villainies he is wanting
to conceal.
The American abroad too often does
not take it for granted that his
try has accomplished wonderful things
within the last three or four hundred
years. He Is seldom inconspicuous
and far too seldom modest. He never
let's anyone forget how tremendously
great and rich we are.

long ago talking to a young English
man in a Paris hotel. Neither Of
them had taken any active part in the
great war though the Englishman had

his broken body.
They told him how prosperous we
are, how clever, how easily we make
money. They boasted of the short

into the war as compared with Eng
