once dSheu VIII
NM Shakespeare, an d
" " then in reply to
his own question
declared that a rose under any other
title would have the same fragrance,
thus giving us the axiom that names
after all are matters of comparatively
little Importance. But Shakespeare's
dictum is not necessarily true when
applied to the naming of children.
Names are an important part of per-
sonality, and since they must be kept
for a lifetime they should be satiSfac-
tory to those who own them and have
to answer to them through all the
years of their existence.
Several thousand years ago Socrates
said: ''The giving of names is no
small matter, nor should it be left to
chance or to persons of mean abil-
tiles" Of course, no fond parent of
a new baby-no doubt the most won
derful baby that ever was bOrn-would
admit that he or she is person of
mean ability" when it comes to select
ing a name for their offspring. But
the offspring themselves might have
different views on the matter, and
many of them doubtless wish that
they had some say in selecting the
handle" by which they are known by
their fellow men. Prof. George r.
Stewart, Jr. of the University of Cali
fornia, who has completed survey of
thousands of Christian names to de-
termine the popularity trend from
1870 to the present time and coupled
it with a study of names, declares that
three out of every four men bear a
secret grudge against their parents for
the name that was fastened on them
when they were young and defense
less.
There are few men who don't wish
they had a different first name," says
Professor Stewart, in reporting on the
results of his survey in an article in
the magazine, Children. ''This is
due principally, believe, to the fact
that they are tired of their Christian
title just as a person may become
tired of always seeing the same face
when he looks in the mirror. But it
rests more substantially, in cases, be-
cause parents have placed on them
either too 'highfalutin' or too common
place names, as the individual tastes
or self-rating may vary. A father who
has bemOaned having to bear 'Percival
Algernon' all his life is quite likely to
term his offspring John or James,
while one who has found George irk-

San Francisco's History

San Francisco, Calf, was first set

monks, Palou and Cambon, estab-

viously given to the bay. In 1916 gold

West deals and bids one heart.
North has the other three suits all
protected and three and half quick
tricks; so he doubles. East passes
and South bids two Spades. West bids
three hearts and North three spades,
which ends the bidding.
West has an Ace King combination
which is the most desirable for an
opening lead and he therefore leads
the King of clubs in preference to his
long heart suit. Dummy is spread
and declarer makes a survey. He
must finesse his trumps and can do
so either way. He has two diamond
tricks, and one heart and possibly two
in clubs but cannot see enough to go
game. He plays the hand as follows:
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-05-18
The deal is played as follows:
Declarer makes three odd tricks.

Declare. ducks the third trick BY
playing low in dummy in order TO save
his King to take the third round Of
hearts and thus make dummy's re-
naming cards in the suit. At trick 9
he considers the advisability of lead
ing a spade but decides against it be-
cause West may hold the Ace in which
case game would be lost because of
Vests two good diamonds. At trick
II declarer knew that West did not
have any spades because he could
place him with the Queen of Clubs and
two diamonds; therefore by leading
the King of Spades declarer with quite
sure to get one more trick.
The following deal illustrates the
use of the informatory double in the
bidding; and the choice of opening
lead and the use of the echo in the
play:
