What a mass of names we have
in this world! There are thousands
and thousands of family names,
and many hundreds of FIRST names"
Some of the family names grew
out of first names. Thus we have
johnson (son Of john, Peterson
(son of Peter, Hanson {son of
Hans) and so on. The common
name of Jones also came from
first name. Long ago in England,
it was the custom to speak of a
man by a single name-as John or
Richard or whatnot Sometimes the

somewhat in different cities. In
Chicago the Johnsons lead the list,
and the name Nelson, with 2,205
entries, is ahead of Jones.
A great number of names sprang
from occupations. Thus in old Eng
land man was called James the
Miller" John the Smith" or Harold
the Tinker"
Later such names were shortened
to James Miller, John Smith and
Harold Tinker.
Baker is an extremely widespread
name, and 1t goes back to bakers in
England. Robert the Baker" or
walter the Baker" became Robert
Baker" or walter Baker"
Among my ancestors are some
with the name of "Stringer." This
rather odd name has been traced
back to the time of william the
Conqueror. It was used for a man
who had the work Of placing the
strings on bows; in those days,
bows were the best long distance
weapons.
Milling was common employ
ment in old England, and that ex-
plains the great number of people
named Miller at the present day.
There were small mills all over the
country, turning out flour for various
cities and villages. Huge flour mills
such as we have today were un-
known before the coming of the
modern age of power.
The name of Smith" became
common in early days because there
we're so many smiths at work. Not
only were there blacksmiths, but also
goldsmiths, silversn1iths, arrowsmiths
and locksmiths. In England today,
Smith Is the most common name,
being followed BY Jones, Miller and
Brown.

POST WAR PLANNING
AND SELFISHNESS

POST WAR PLANNING
AND SELFISHNESS
EARLY IN 1918 the Allied armies
in Europe were being hard pressed.
It was about that time when Presi-
dent Wilson enunciated his IA points,
which proffered an idealistic peace
to the German people. At that time
political leaders were willing to sub
scribe to the American Presidents
idealism.
In the latter part of October, 1918,
I talked to Clemenceau in Paris. The
end of the war was at hand. The
Germans were beaten. I asked the
French premier about President
Wilson'S IA points.
Meaningless phrases, he re-
piled. France will dictate the
peace terms and they will not be
mild
It is the old adage:
1.-THE Devil was sick-the Devil
a monk would be,
The Devil was well-the Devil
monk was he"
Inc Second world war is sui on.
We have not yet won it. Today we
talk of the future in idealistic terms,
but as the Allied armies advance, as
victory draws nearer, we find spring
ing up the same old element of self
ishness, the desire for gain for our
selves, regardless of what others
may lose. That is human, and that
human trait will again sit in at the
peace table. It can be prevented
only by a definite agreement be-
tween the Allied nations, prepared
and subscribed to while the outcome
of the war is still In some doubt.
The end of the war will not bring
to the world the millennium under
any conditions. It could bring some
advance in international relations
It could bring agreement between
the victors, rather than a new row
over division of the spoils. But if
these things are to come, that agree
ment must be made while the war
is still on. The war will not eradi-
cate the sin of selfshness.

IT'S A GAME

Good craftsmanship is as valu-

circling, looking for Jap planes
which the listening devices had
picked up out at sea, heading in
from the direction of Formosa.
They'd been up all morning, were
almost out of gas, so decided to land
and refuel. The first plane came in
all right, but the second overshot the
field. His plane was the third, and
he said as he put his wheels on the
ground a load of bombs crashed
down out of the clouds onto the 9TH
er end of the field. Of course he
poured the soup into her and took
off. He tried to gain altitude and
headed for Nichols Field, when sud-
denly a fight of Jap fighters popped
out Of the clouds. He turned and
headed right for the center of it,
but when he pressed the button only
one OF his six guns would work

don't ask him why-ask the guys
who designed them or installed them
or serviced them. His job was Just
to press the button, and he'd done
that. There he was with two Zeros
on his tail, filing him full of holes
they were explosive bullets, too; he
had gashes all over where he'd been
nicked. He said he dived into a
nearby cloud and managed to
shake them, but then his motor be-
gan to sputter-had been almost out
of gas when the attack started. and
the Jap bullets IN his tanks had
spilled the rest. So he headed her
nose down out of the cloud, and as
luck would have it spotted an emer-
gency field But his wing tip hit a
tree and the plane cracked I'D.
MASKING In all the bones on the right
side of his face. He'd spent a week
ID native hospital on a bamboo
bunk without the bones set, and now
he could only humble to me out
OF the left corner of his mouth.
"The next day Tex on the other
side told me his story. He was also
fighter pilot and his squadron had
been at Clark Field-hying all morn
ing. They'd come down to gas the
planes, and the pilots were sitting
around on the wings or in their cock
pits, waiting for orders to take off.
when suddenly there was big bang
and the plane he was sitting IN
seemed to jump about forty feet in
the air, and then pancaked back
with its wings folded over the cock
pit. The Japs had popped out of a
cloud and let them have it. He
crawied out unscratched, but he
said for half an hour everything was

Trinkets for Africans

Every sixth soldier among the

Africa carried a bag of trinkets
for distribution to the natives as
gifts or payments for small favors,

perfumes, sugar, tea and coffee,
was to show that our men were
not looters but generous friends.

HOW LIVING STANDARD
HAS ADVANCED

FOR SHAVING PURPOSES, our
grandfathers had a cup with a ten
cent cake of soap and a brush to
provide the needed lather. The cake
of soap was good for six or more
months. Our fathers had a 25-cent
stick of shaving soap and a brush.
The cup was outmoded. This gen.
Grafton gets its shaving lather In a
tube and uses about one tube a
month. It is a little thing, but in
a small way, it illustrates the Amer
lean advance in our standard of liv-
ing. Today we think of what would
have been luxury of generation
or two ago as living necessity. As
Americans, we propose to continue
that advance in our standards of Gv-
ing, to make the Injuries of to-
day the necessities of tomorrow.

INDUSTRY PLANNING
AND WORLD PEACE

The world can win the peace"
with world industrial postwar plan
ming. It is not for government to
plan how to operate industry in the
postwar world, but it is needful
that government make possible the
planning on the part of industry.
When the last gun has been fired
and may it be soon-there will no
longer be a demand for ships and
planes and tanks and guns. The
need for them will have passed. In
stead, there will be a demand for
food, homes, cars-for all the essen
tials of living.
First, industry must have the
wherewithal to transform its plants
to peace-time needs. Government
has not, and is not, making that pos
sible. 1t has made possible and, in
fact, has forced the payment of ex-
tremely high wages to those en-
pioyed in war production but it has
left nothing in the hands of industry
with which to provide jobs and goods
for postwar world.
Government has established a
wage scale which necessitates high
prices for commodities the farmer
must buy, wage scale which in
dustry cannot continue after the war
without continuing those high prices.
At the same time, government put a
ceiling on what the farmer could
charge for his product and it will
undoubtedly continue that ceiling
during the years when we must feed
the world. It all adds up to an i'm
possible condition and is but leading
to dehation period similar to the
one that followed World War I.

men were walking. They carried

Skipjack Win End Shift Court Title

Although extended most of the way, the men who play for the Skipjack rather than sail her, tor pedoed the Growler, 31-29, to hoist high their claim for the second shifts basketball championship at the New London YMCA.
 The gents who rife the hoops for the Skipjack reached the finals of the Shaughnessy playoffs by a for felt victory because the Spearfsh (whom they were to play), was crippled by the illness of three of their aces.
 Thus rings down the curtain on a league molded by Joe Mulligan, the one man sports promoter on the second shift. Its inception was built around the idea to build mor- ale. It was successful. The other events that were also held at the Y. among which were boxing, swimming and weight lifting, were also very instrumental in being put on the must attend list of many on the second shift. His efforts were more than rewarded by the happiness that he brought to oth- CTS than himself. This hulk of a chap is just built that way.
