Science of Selecting Names Offers
New Field for Ambitious Hu1norist

[ Inn o. Because. dear friends, none OF
those names tells the half OF it. When
a stranger comes to town and desires
lodgings at the new hosiery he will
not have to ask his way. Unless he is
the acme of dumb bells. he Will know
without asking that the Opp Inn must
be opp. the post office. Further and
| more, opp might easily be name of a
fish. II sounds Ike a name a fish
would pick out for himself. And last
but not lease, one of the oldest and
most highly respected families of Niles
was the Oppins which they sometimes
spelled with a II.
That matter disposed Of We can turn
TO my other postcard which Is from
one Basil Park. indianapolis, who de-
scribes himself as q chiropodist. Mr..
Park Is an expectant father. not OF
one child. but a plethora. He is al
ready worrying in regards to their
names and has called on me for help
Well. as luck would have 1t, I was
talking to Mr.. Dudley Digges the actor
few days ago and he told me about
a family he knowed back in Ireland
who the wife'S maiden name was Il
Miss Kettle and the husband was Mr.
Drum. Came several kiddies to the
home. The first, a girl, was chris
tened Beta. The second. a boy. was
baptized Fife y. Drum. The third, a
girl. was named Clarinet n. Drum and
goes under the names of Clara and
Nettie. And finally what should pop
up but q pair of male twins and the
parents was puzzled for quite a vile.
but at last. when they discovered that
the kiddies was always together
when YOU wanted them. hit on the
idear of naming them each Tom and
always calling both of them at once.
Mr.. Park might do worse than name
his first few children White River.
Garfield. Brookside, Military. st. Clair.
and University, in honor of different
indianapolis parks and when it be
came neSSary, he could call on parks
from other cities, christening the next
dozen Hyde, Central. Rock Creek
Golden Gate, Humboldt. Willow Grove.
Paramount. SChenley, Forest, Laurel.
Washington and Jackson. And If
worst kept getting worst he could help
himself to "A few of the ball parks like
Shibe, Fenway, SportSman's, Comiskey
and even Cub.
When Mr.. Park finally runs out OF
those kind of names, what is to pre-
vent him from selecting names peril
nent to his profession? a daughter
might be christened Cornelia and called
Corn. A boy might be baptized Bunion
and called Bunny. Another boy might
be named Gallons and called Cal. And
the last one, we hope, could be chris
tened Ingrowing Nails and called Ingy.

And she hoped 1t wouldn't be too much

when Mabel comes home, and was

into the onions. Place about IA
pounds of this mixture In each room.

Dear Mr.. Wynn: Do you believe 1t is
right to turn tramps away from your
door? Truly yours.
MAY B. u. KNO.
Answer: BY no means turn a tramp
away from your door. Let him sit
there as long as he wishes.
Dear Mr.. Wynn: We are organizing
a fishing club for next Summer and
we were told to have our camp on
the Delaware River right across from
Wilmington, Del. We were also told
that fishing there is wonderful. Is 1t
truJ that the fish. in that spot. bite so
easily? Truly yours,

I says, why you ought to be ashamed
of such ideas, l wouldn't be so child
ish, why what harm can a feather
fan and a few opals do? Well, she
says, of course they can't do any
harm, 1 know that, so you really won't
mind keeping them until l get back?
And / says of course not, dear. but
honest, think you ought to take them
along, just TO overcome such non
senSiCal ideas.
Well. Mabel wouldn't insult my in
telligence by taking them things off
the place once she had brought them
so she left them and went on her way.
And after she had done so, why / put
the live stock around the dining room
and then 1 didn't quite know where
to put that opal pin and Mabel's pea
cock fan for safe keeping. OF course
| didn't have the fainteSt feeling
about keeping them in the house, even
with a new cook there, SO l let EN-
lay where she put them.
Then l picked up pin off the floor,
walking around SOS to make sure the
point was toward me, and went out
in the kitchen to ask Mary, the new
cook, did she know anybody owning
a secondhand black cat they didn't
need? Not that I really thought it
would do any good. but some people
have the idea a black cat is lucky,
and while l personally myself GER
tainly don't believe in any such non
sense, why as long as l had the idea
in my head thought I might as we'll
get a black cat to kinda counteract
the idea of that fan and opals.
X x
WELL, it seems Mary had a cat
meeting my specifications up to
ner house. and she offered to go right
up and get it, but | wasn't taking any
chances of letting her out. so 1 says
oh no, don't bother. 1 will go, where
is it? And she says no. ID West
18th st.
That number, of course, didn't
sound awful good to me, but ! says
to myself, now don't be silly. 1t is Il
pure coincidence, you go get that cat
just the same. So 1 did, and there
was ladder standing over the front
door when / got there. Not that !
minded this any more then poison.
and naturally 1 hadn't come all that
long way in order to be turned back
by a mere childish superstition. So
l went under the ladder and knocked
on the door, and after a while some
body put their head out the window
and says what do you want? And l
says. Mary, that's my cook, at least
she was when I left home, told me
her daughter had a black cat. And
the party in the window says Mary's
daughter amt ever here Fridays, but
I'll get you the cat. So she done so
in a bag, and my good luck started
right away.
Well anyways, I was lucky enough
