SUGGESTION FOR
INDIAN DIALECTS
IN STATE NAMES

4 writer In the Boston Transcript,
who finds the Indian names OF some
OF the states "superbly euphonlous."
would rename those states which
have failed TO take advantage OF sucn
excellent sources as the various In
dian dialects. Thus Carter Glass
would become the senior senator
from Potomac; the states OF Katah-
din. Merrlmac and WinooskI. In the
northern tier of New England. would
vie for the summer tourist business;
Governor Lehman would preside over
the destlnles OF the state OF Man
haitian, and Governor Earle over
those of Wyoming. the latter name to
be appropriated from a western state
which has no clear title 10 It.
Maryland, West Virginia, North
Carolina. South Carolina and Geor-
sia, instead of paying homage to the
memory OF English royalty. would be
known, respectively. as Chesapeake,
Shenandoah, Catawba. Santee and
Altamaha. Florlda's winter visitors
might ballot on the choice between
Ckeechobee and Suwannee.
The Transcript writer offers other
names In exchange for those borne
by New Jersey. Indiana, Colorado,
Arizona, Washington, Montana. Ne
yada and New Mexico. but 1t Is
proftless to dwell on the music of
these Indian syllables. Euphonious
rs the names OF Alabama and Mlssls-
sippl and Tennessee may seem, the
non-lndlan names that are now es-
tabllshed are not likely TO be dis
turbed; not even the haunting lowell
ness OF Shenandoah is enough TO

Motor oils refined by the usual methods
have some oiliness and Sim strength, but
they may form carbon and sludge, which
lead to expensive motor repairs.
Other oils may form almost no carbon

they are robbed of oiliness and film
strength they need TO prevent motor wear.
Germ Processed Oil is refined to elm

when do you leave for EurcpeP"
Chuck asked, Just as the dinner bell
tinkled in the foyer of the house.
"A week from tomorrow. Won't 1t
be perfectly grand? And to think
we'll be gone for five weeks. just
know we'll have glorious time. Faith
er plans to spend q few days in
London, Paris, Brussels and Berlin.
I can hardly wait. I do wish you
we're coming with us. Chuck"
"I'd love to be there, Nancy dear,
but I have a big job cut out for me
in the way of hard work this Sum-
mer."
You hadn't told me anything about
it, Chuck"
There's nothing to tell. In fact, I'd
rather not tell you until you return.
Then the hardest part of the. work will
be over and I'll feel proud that it's
done"
"All right, dear, If you want to keep
me in suspense. I wish I knew what
you plan to do. Won't you even tell
me when you write?"
II don't think so, Nancy. BY the
way, did I tell you that there's been
a big shake-up at college?"
Why, no. You're not in trouble,
Chuck, I hope. I'm sorry for having
asked you that, but father is always
saying such dreadful things about you
that he has me worried"
No, it's McBrair. you know, the
coach"
Evening star., 1935-11-21

"Oh, yes, I remember him. He's the
man you once told me you despised
because of the way he acted to you
team. I often wanted to tell father
about that. but YOU had asked me
not to-"
I'm glad you didn't. McBrair's
out. He resigned last night. Saw it
in the Daily News up ut college this
morning. Didn't give any reasons,
but have G suspicion that they re-
quested 1t of him"
"I don't know much about such
things, Chuck, as you well know, but
know father despised McBrair's
coaching methods and ideas. Only a
few weeks ago, 7 heard him say to
two of his classmates who were sit
ting right here on the porch with him
that he'd never rest while McBrair
had control of the foot ball situation
at Colburn. He said something about
his being an old has-been of the old
time school of coaches. I think he
said that McBrair believed in fight
instead of brains and strategy. and
placed too much emphasis on spirit. I"
"I think your father was right,
much as I hate to admit that I agree
with him for once in my life. The
old man hates me like poison, but in
McBrair we have something in COM
mon. Both of us feel the same way
toward his coaching tactics"
Now that McBrair's gone, Chuck" I"
said Nancy happily, "I'll bet you'll go
out for the team next year. Won't
you?"
ct hadn't given it much thought.
Nancy, to tell the truth. Maybe I
will, though"
1T wouldn't make bit Of differ
ence to me, Chuck, dearest, but you
know how father feels about the mat
ter. II you just played little. he'd
feel entirely different toward you.
He thinks the world of foot ball play

with McBrair. / just remember now,
when he was talking with his class
mates, I'm sure they mentioned some
thing about buying him of, or paying
up his contract"
''It wouldn't surprise me bit,
Nancy. saw your father at the San
ford game, and I'm telling you he was
a mighty excited man. You could hear
him criticizing McBrair all over the
field"
After dinner Nancy and Chuck drove
down to the shore. They were very
happy, sitting there alone beneath the
stars.
"I'll be on a big boat too soon,
Chuck" Nancy remarked with a plain
tive note in her voice as she nestled
up to his shoulder. But I'll be back
soon, and We'll be together down at
the beach again for the rest of the
Summer, won't we?"
"You bet, honey"
1t was getting late, SO they drove
back to the Marshall home. AS they
turned In the driveway a pair Of
powerful auto lights were reflected in
the mirror in Chuck's car. That must
be father" said Nancy, note of joy
and alarm in her voice. .
Chuck pulled up far enough past
the steps to allow Mr.. Marshall TO get
out of his limousine. Nancy alighted
and ran to her father. He embraced
her, and together they started up the
steps. Nancy turned away a bit and
called to Chuck to c'mon up. Reluc-
family he got out Of his roadster and
walked up on the porch.
Hello. Arnold" exclaimed Mr.. Mar
shall, more enthusiastically than ever
before, so far as Chuck could recall.
How are you?"
Very fine, thanks, Mr.. Marshall"
"Oh, by the way, Arnold. how did
the college take the news of McBrair's
resignation? Did you hear much COM
ment on the campus?"
mot much, Mr.. Marshall. I left
there early this morning. Just after

breakfast. The paper paid him CON-
plment. but I'm pretty sure most Of
the students thought 1t was good rid

"Ummhl"
Chuck had expected to stay over
until Sunday, thinking that Mr.. Mar
shall would not return until Sunday
evening. His unexpected advent in
terrupted Chuck's plans, and he told
Nancy that he thought he'd better get
back to college that night, as he had q
lot Of assignments to prepare.
Driving back to college through the
quiet Of the soft June night, he out
lined in his mind his plans for the
Summer. He laughed aloud as he
thought Of the things he would do.
They were so entirely different from
anything he had ever done before.

We'd have q glorious time. You could
come down here more often without
feeling that he didn't want you
around. It would really be wonder
full"
"IIl say it would" said Chuck,
taking her hand in his. warmly. II
wouldn't know what to do with my
self If I found myself on good terms
with the old boy. He's certainly bugs
on foot ball Can't understand how
he never loses his enthusiasm for the
sport"
"Lose his enthusiasm for the sport!"
SCI canned Nancy, amazed and elated.
"Why. Chuck, you don't know the
half of 1t. Up In his den he has q
huge picture Of the team he played on
at Colburn. Around 1t he has auto
graphed pictures of all the individual
players. Pinned across the tops Of
the frames of those who are dead are
little black crepes. Time and again
I have seen him poring over old clip
pings about the great Colburn eleven
Of his college days. Mothers used to
it, but don't like him to be SO
wrapped up in a thing that is past"
He sure loves the sport, Nancy"
Honestly, Chuck, after the Sanford
game he came home brokenhearted.
He looked wreck. Mother called DR..
Adams. He always attends father,
you know. Looks after his heart.
Well, DR.. Adams told him another
session Of excitement like the one he
must have gone through at that game
would probably kill him He actually
lost IL pounds just watching the team
lose. / can't understand how any one
can be so foolish. But you know how
set father is in his ways"
"I rather like the old mans en-
thusiasm, Nancy. 1t shows that for
all his dislike for me. he's still young
in spirit and pretty energetic despite
his bad heart"
Hes that. all right. You know,
Chuck, I'm beginning to think that
maybe father had something to do

PoUFl GOES THE vEsrIGE OF ECONOMY

With the Presidents signing OF the Dill TO re-
store Spanish-American War veterans to the pen
sion rolls without regard to proof that their dlsa
bties were incurred during service, the very last
fragment. of that Economy Act of 1888 has gore
by the boards There is no more of that economy
which badly scared congress, Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, was glad to inaugurate
Mr. Roosevelt's statement issued IN conjunction
with his approval of the BILL is far from plausible
He attempts to distinguish between the validity OF
claims of Spanish-American and World war veter-
ans when, as a matter of fact and by his espousal
of the Economy Act, he denied the validity OF
either of them Two wrongs do not make right,
but if the World war veterans not encouraged
to proceed to demand payment of the bonus and,
later on, a general pension law, we mistake the
tenor of their vociferation.
As an economical administrator, Mr.. Roosevelt,
assisted at all times by congress which knows
which side its political bread is buttered on, has
been flop AS for that plank in the Democratic
platform which promised reduction of rs per cent
in federal expenditures, it is wormwood, and in
our soul there is gall.-Charlotte News.
