Name Amy Means Beloved

e ANanC anly MCoAA9 oCAoNS0
The name Amy is of Latin origin
and means beloved" There is
something sweet and gentle about
the name which well fits it's mean
ing, writes Florence A. Cowles in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Amy
Robsart is the most famous in his
tory to bear the name. It's mean
ing was hollow for her, for she was
the unloved wife of the earl of Lei
cester, favorite of Queen Elizabeth.
She was found dead at the foot of q
stairway, with her neck broken, and
IL was suspected that her husband
was an accessory to her murder; but
there was no proof Of this and
some modern historians believe her
death was the result of a plot to
discredit Leicester.

FRANCE ORDERS
TROOPS MASSED
IN HER COLONIES
Action Follows ItaIy'S
Libyan Maneuvers
BY JOSEPH L. DEES

SETIF, Algeria, March "
VIN.S).-In answer to the large
scale maneuvers of italian troops
in Lbya during recent weeks,
France is massing her Algerian
and TuniSian troops in the south
Of Tunisia.
An estimated 100000 Italian
soldiers uncomfortably close TO
the Tunisia frontier has
prompted the sudden movement
Of French troops to the territory.
Government and army officials
are guarding this unexpected &C
tjvity with a rigid secrecy. The
majority of the Algerian popula-
ton Is unaware Of the military
exodus towards the colony to the
east. The troops are being moved
by truck under cover of night.
BORDER CLASHES REPORTED
Those aware of the dispatch Of
troops into Tunisia regard 1t as
an ordinary preparation for mass
maneuvers. However, the thun-
derclap suddenness of the move
Indicates additional reasons.
According to information re-
ceived from an authoritative source
In army circles, there have been
clashes between italian troops
and French legionaires along the
Libya-Tunisian border in the
desert country to the south, which
Is entirely under military rule. A
report that an Italian plane was
brought down in a forbidden
French zone recently couldn't be
confirmed.
$4,000 ALGERIAN TROOPS
The number of Algerian troops
alone which have been sent into
Tunisia is thought to be around
10000. Sizeable detachments are
under way from garrisons in all
parts Of the country. These with
the Foreign Legion will be directed
from Foum Tatahouine about so
miles from the Libyan border and
will go through their exercises in
the region to the south of this
post.
1t is a singular fact that the
grand maneuvers in French North
africa usually take place late in
the spring.

Spinach.
From the Omaha World Herald.

From the Omaha World-Herald.
The American Medical Association ap-
proves of spinach. At any rate, its
council on foods reports that it is a
wholesome and valuable food" So be
1t. So far as we know there has never
been any question about it. The real
point at issue is not whether spinach
is wholesome food, but whether 1t is a
food essential to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
So the really important feature of the
councils report isn't what it says about
spinach, but what it neglects to say.
What it neglects to say is that spinach
is an essential food. that you can't live
another six months without it, that your
baby is going to have rickets If you don't
choke 1t down him, that it's spinach to-
day or the undertaken tomorrow. Tho
report doesn't say any of those things. It
merely says that If you like spinach, 60
ahead and eat it, 1t won't do you any
harm. But the inference is perfectly
plain that If you don't like spinach you
can leave 1t alone. That won't do you
any harm either.
The beauty of civilized life is that 1t
furnishes such a variety Of wholesome
and valuable foods. Even If you have
access to only a part of them the variety
is still likely to be wide enough to per-
NIT choice of what is palatable and
rejection of what isn't. And the result
of such choice is almost certain to be
wholesome unless you are cursed with
diabetes or are trying to reduce.
We venture to guess that there are
millions of people who have rejected
spinach and yet who are hale and hearty
with every likelihood of living to cash
In their old-age security annuities.

Help to Make Heroes.

Madrid, Missouri, Dorothy Tidwell, twelve
years of age, rescued from imminent
peril of drowning her two little sisters
and small brother, trapped in the car.

Olympic aquatic star, but at least she
was not afraid of the water; she could
swim, and she did, with the result that
she joins long list Of courageous young

Letters to The Star
Alonxo Cushing
Hero Of Gettysburg.
tn the Editor of The n ar.


Hero Of Gettysburg.
To the Editor Of The Star:
A MONG the many heroes of Gettys-
burg Alonzo Gushing was one of the
outstanding. He took the point Of the
great spear thrust which climaxed 20
years of controversy and years of fight
ing. This ghastly climax shows to what
extent hardened public opinion can carry
people.
On July 2, 1862 Cushing, 81 years of
age, was brevetted lieutenant colonel
for conspicuous gallantry on the field Of
Gettysburg. The next day. in command
of Battery A, U. s. 4th Artillery, he
found himself directly in front Of the
apex Of Pickett's charge. At his wrecked
battery the greatest military effort in
American history ended. The assault
was unprecedented, the defense was
furious.
Cushing with q ball in the shoulder,
another in the thigh, and still another
through his abdomen, was propped
against the wheel Of gun carriage, still
in command. He was serving double
and triple charges of canister, but re-
gardless the, column advanced. Gen.
Armistead charged and fell. Gushing
collapsed with ball through his brain.
Heroic enemies clashed furiously hand
to hand. The strength Of the flood tide
was gone. 1t was high water, and the
ebb set in.
Not a wheel of Battery A was left
intact, all officers and half the men
were down, SO out Of 80 horses were
killed. Armistead and Gushing lay dead
beside the same gun--the gallant as
saulter, the gallant defender.

Jimmy, the Salesman.

Inc success story of Jimmy Roosevelt,
eldest son of the President, as related
In the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, should be an inspiration
to every young man who, like Jimmy,
has started out in the world of busi-
ness with no special qualifications be-
yond will to forge ahead.
Only few years ago Jimmy, fresh
from Harvard, entered business as
green insurance agent, devoid of pros
poets" and unversed in the high
pressure salesmanship tactics of schooled
and experienced insurance men. Today,
according to the interesting magazine
article, Jimmy has corner on some of
the fattest policies issued by American
insurance firms and his income is estl-
mated to be between $250,00O and
100000 a year.
Jimmy, it is explained, was not the
type to hide his shingle under a bushel,
to mix metaphor. The magic name of
Roosevelt" soon was sweeping the IN
surance world, just as the same name
was sweeping the political world, and
Jimmy found himself showed under
with policies. They were not white
collar policies either. They we're from
big corporations, banks and individuals
OF the economic royalty category.
But dc not be misled. Salesman
Jimmy did not always sit by and wait
Tor business to come to him. He went
after it, and, when Jimmy goes after
a policy, the article explains, he gen.
orally gets it, Sometimes right from
under the noses of less assiduous in
surance agents. too. Jimmy has engi-
neered these coups so often, the article
AYERS, that the rueful cry, "Jimmy's
got it," has become a refrain of luck
less policy statesmen.
All of which should be a lesson to
insurance statesmen everywhere. If
Jimmy can get the business merely by
putting his name on a letterhead or
mentioning it over the telephone, why
cannot Agent Smith or Agent Jones do as
well or better? In short, every insurance
salesman should ask himself what has
Jimmy got that I haven't got?" The
answ n to that one would be very inter-
esting. On second thought, perhaps the
sensible thing for the salesman to do
is to keep the answer to himself and
just 60 ahead being an ordinary in
surance salesman.
