What's In A Name?
BY HEX

Names are often meaningless;
sometimes exceedingly fleeing and
at times have no significance nor
enlightenment as to whether one
should stop, start, turn right or
left. Names spring up like mush-
rooms and in many cases, if you
are not a careful observer, you
might pluck toadstools instead of
your favorite desire. Likewise
some pleasant sounding nomen-
clatures may possibly become a
lead-wire to final disaster. The
voice is the voice of Jacob" etc.
still is a precautionary warning
well worth considering as a regu-
laratory thermostat to our every
action. If it is a rose, whatever
else you call it reduces none of its
pleasant odor. But, l recall some
names of sections of the city, the
beautiful city of Washington, D.
c. Doubtless, you would not ex-
pect to find quiet and repose in
place called Fighting Alley, and
to survive a trip through Murder
ers' Bay would see mimpossible.
One could not be blamed for hav-
ing a case of shivers sightseeing
in Blood Field. Buzzard's Roost
was a choice cognomen of a roy
of houses tenanted by colored rent
ers: and l can remember when one
could stand in Frog Bottom and
with a bat and ball knock the eyes
out of the Goddess of Liberty per-
ched upon the dome of the capitol.
The long trip to Helena through
many cities and prairies years ago,
did not broaden my cultural de-
velopment relative to an accumu-
lation of choice Applications for
places and people. One of the first
sights presented when arriving in
Helena was the Bucket of Blood.
Then there was a Mary Bloody
Knife: a fiddler in a saloon was
called Hog Brown. A barber work.
ed for me was called Cow Boy and
a hack driver in town was named
Few Clothes. The list would be
long and increasingly strange were
| to go further; but what's in a
name, after all.
James H. Howard died early last
Tuesday morning at a local hos
pital after lingering sickness.
He was born in Bismark, N. D. in
1872. He came to Montana with
his mother when quite young and
resided at White Sulphur Springs.
He was married to Miss Clarinda
Crump and later to a second wife
who died in 1881. For number OF
years he was in the employ OF
the Anaconda Smelling and Refin-
ing Company. Survivors are two
sons, Lawrence A. and Norman c.
Howard, and three grand children,
Norman R. Howard, Raymond
Howard and Dorothy Ann Howard,
all of Helena, Mr.. Howard was
buried on the 18th in Forestvale.

seem at all likely that the President
would wish Mr.. Hull to retire in view
of the world situation. Mr.. Hull is
from Tennessee, the same State
from which Justice McReynolds was
appointed 10 the court.
Senator Byrnes first came TO Con-
gresS 80 years ago TO represent the
Second Congressional District of
South Carolina. He served in the
House with distinction for IA years,
and in 1925 retired to practice law

Upper House ever since.
The South Carolinian has the con-

has been chairman of Senate COM
mIttees dealing with reorganization
Of the executive departments and
with unemployment and relief. He
has been highly recommended for
the bench, and if his appointment
comes it will be Immediately con-
firmed by his colleagues.
Last year Senator Byrnes was
among those who were seriously
considered for the vice presidential
nomination. Had not the President
taken personal hand in the matter
during the Chicago convention he
might easily have been nominated
During that convention he was a
tower of strength to the admins
tration. He is 81, and with Mrs
ByrneS takes an active part in
Capital society. They have no
children.
Senator ByrneS was uncommuni-
cative on the court question, but it
was reported reliably that he was
receptive TO an appointment. Ma
jority Leader Barkley and Senators
Glass, Democrat of Virginia and
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi
called at the White House to urge
the Brynes appointment when the
forthcoming retirement of Justice
McReynolds was announced. All are
key figures in the Senate. and Mr..
Roosevelt was said to have decided
definitely on Senator Byrnes after
comforting with them.
Senator Norris, Independent. of
Nebraska, who has been consulted
by the President regarding some
previous Supreme Court nomina-
tions, said he believed Senator
Byrnes' appointment to the court
would be great administration loss
in the Senate.
The President needs all the able
support he can get in the Senate" :"
Senator Norris told reporters.
He should consider carefully be-

State Department counselor. con-
tanning part of a letter from Mr..
Bullitt to Mr. Moore, November 90,
1886. when the latter was Acting
Secretary of State.
French Hopes Set Forth.
The Bullitt letter said in part:
The French, at the moment. are
looking desperately for friends
There are a thousand signs tthe
details of which I shall spare youD :,
that they have decided to attempt
to develop the closest possible re-
lations with the United States. hav-
ing in the back of their minds the
hope that when they become involved
in the war, which they regard as
inevitable, the United States finally
will come in on their side.
This may seem far-fetched to
you, but I assure you it is true.
If you should talk with the French
Ambassador, unqueStionably he
would say to you that he knew the
United States would never again
send soldiers, ships and money to
Europe, but you would probably be
able to detect at the bottom of his
mind the thing which is very evi-
dent here; to wit: The hope that
by series of small steps We may
finally become involved as we be-
came involved in 1917.
Il am confident that so long as
the President is in the White House
and the Secretary of State and your
self in the department, we will not
become involved; and 1 feel that it
is our duty not only to ourselves, but
also to the French to compel them
to realize that if they count on us
for the sort of support they got in
1917, they will not get it.
I'VE don't want to see France de-
stroyed. We are sympathetic;
but we have to be adamant when it
comes to refusing the only sort Of

CHICAGO. Jan. 25.-The Com

Chamber of Commerce of the
United States today approved nee

defense, but stated that waste and

The group also recommended the

over Government outlays.
Financially, the Federal Govern

To provide reflective legislative

Such an agency would report to
Congress. recommending, among
other matters, an aggregate total
OF expenditures which, when ap-
proved by Congress. could not be
exceeded by the total of all the in

be made later.
"A ceiling would thus be placed
on expenditures. This agency, how
ever, would not supplant the exist

revenues as at present

The committee urged that reve-

be brought into annual balance, and
