roll Rates are Explained 1 i By Telephone Officials ' The following on telephone toll rates has been submitted by officials of . the Richmond Home Telephone company: Although the present telephone toll rates have been in effect for over a year and explanations have been made through the press and by circulars, another brief description of the several classes of service offered will be given for the benefit of the public. The classes of service offered are

Station to Station," "Person to Per

son," "Messenger and Appointment,

and "Evening and Night." When a person makes a toll call for any one answering the telephone, and the conversation is held, the "station to station" rate applies. Calls of this kind should be made by number whenever possible. They can, however, be placed by giving the name the tele-

the surface of the water because of reduced outside pressure of the air. The Different Storms. The "weather man" differentiates between general varieties of storms which the layman is apt to classify under the general heads of tornadoes, cyclones, or hurricanes. To the scientist, cyclones are either tropical or extropical. The tropical cyclone is a storm which originates in tho tropics and is a vast atmospheric whirl, rotating counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. The winds spiral from the outside toward the center and attain a destructive velocity. A tropical cyclone or typhoon, as It is sometimes called, always is attended by torrential downpours of rain and may be from 300 to 600 miles in diameter. The winds often attain a

velocity of more than 100 miles an

phone id listed under at the called , hour in theIr whirl Xhe last destruc-

point and requesting "Station to Sta

tion" service or by requesting conversation with any one answering the telephone. When a person makes a toll call for a particular person and the conversation is held, the "person to person" rate applies. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort and use of toll circuits, the rate is about one-fourth greater than the "station to station" rate. For this class of calls the day rate applies whether the call is made during the day or night. A "Collect" call takes the "Person to Person" rate. "Messenger and Appointment" Rate . When the calling party specifies a definite time at which he will talk and the conversation is held the "Appointment" rate applies. The "Appointment" rate is approximately one-half

greater than the "Station to Station" rate. The day rate applies whether conversation is held during the day or night. "For "Messenger" calls the rate is the same as the "Appointment" rate, plus the actual messenger expense. Reduced rates for night service for "station to station" calls are in effect after 8:30 p. m. From 8:30 p. m. to midnight, the rate is about one-half of the day rate. From 12 midnight to 4:30 a. m. the rate is about one-fourth of the day rate. These reduced rates apply only to "Station to Station" service.

When a "person to person" calL is made and the particular person desired is not in or will not talk, or when an exact telephone "address of the person desired has not been given, and he cannot be-reached at a telephone within one hour, a "report charge" applies. This charge also applies if the calling party is absent when the connection is ready within one" hour, or if he refuses to talk. This charge is to cover compensation for the operating work performed and use of toll circuits, and is approximately one-fourth of the "station to station" rate. Please make certain, in placing a call, that the operator understands what class of service you desire.

tive tropic cyclone to visit the United States was that which wrecked Galveston, Texas, n Sept. 8, 1900, causing 6,000 persons to perish and a property loss of $30,000,000. From 1S77 to 1887 an average of 146 tornadoes have occurred annually in the United States. The thunder storm is the exact opposite of a tornado. jgThe familiar storm rolls over and", over, its axis horizontal to the earth, and its vacuum without ability to harm.

ular meeting of the art department

lery Sunday afternoon.

What's in a Name (Copyright)

ROBERTA Roberta, the charming boyish name signifying "bright fame", is one of the

many examples of feminine names coined directly from the masculine cognomen, Robert. Though Robert can be clearly traced, there is no record of the evolution of the feminine and it can only be deduced that some parent, disappointed at the birth of a daughter bestowed the family name upon the girl-child and added the final "a" as a concession to the sex of the infant. RobeAa has a charmingly poetical heritage. Her counterpart appears In the most famous passages of England's early history. The origin of the name was in "red," which accounts for the translation of "bright". Curiously en

ough, -JtCberta was popular In Italy after being rejected by England, before

its vogue in that latter country be

came so great.

One of the wild Dukes of Normandy

brought It back to Egnland and numerous earls and nobles seized upon it, establishing its vogue permanently. The dearly beloved Robin Hood, whose deeds are recorded in English ballads, did much toward making It papular. Robin was the epithet by which Queen Elizabeth addressed the two earls, stepson and step-father, who sunned themselves in her favor. Robert of Bruce was the national hero of Scotland and Robbin Lawless was a favorite Irish character. Roberta is essentially American, though the contraction, Bertie, which is the endearment for several other

names as well as Roberta, has tne real Yankee sound. Roberta's talismanic stone is the

sapphire, which is said to guard her from danger and disease, Tuesday is

her lucky day and 7 her lucky number, i

VIRGINIA. The real origin of Virginia is curious

With a total of 891 posts. New York State leads the list in the number of American Legion posts throughout the country.

and somewhat unexpected. It means "flourishing" and comes from an old Latin gens who called themselves Verglnious. Their name was derived In turn from .vireo, meaning to flourish, and was' connected to the word "ver,", translated as spring. Virginlo was the name of the far-famed Orsini

family.-

The more popular and prevalent be

lief regarding the origin of Virginia

has always been that she came from the Latin virgo, meaning 'a virgin.' Indeed, the first instance of her use in England was In the time of Queen Elizabeth when Sir Walter Raleigh, named his American colony Virginia

in honor of the Virgin Queen. It was under a similar belief that

Bernadln de St. Pierre called the heroine of his tropical Arcadian romance, Virginie. The widespread popularity

of this story in England, France and

Germany brought Virginia into enorm

ous vogue throughout Europe. France

still adores her Virginie, and her

popularity in England is assured for

ever out of sentimental memory of the

famous queen.

The first American colony established the name Jn this country. Likewise the first white child born In on American soil, and named Virginia Dare did much to spread its vogue. The South has always abounded in Virginias, which, unfortunately has been contracted to unmusical "Virgies" and "Jinnys." The emerald, is Virginia's talismanic stone. It promises her wisdom, prophetic vision, long youth, and charm. The hawthorne bud, England's spring flower, is Virginia's flower. Wednesday is her lucky day and 3 her lucky number. BESSIE Bessie i3 of course one of the de

rivatives of Elizabeth, but so frequently is it given in baptism without any reference to its more proper antecedent that It has come to be regarded as a separate and distinct name.

Through its "association with Eliza

beth, it has its source in the old Hebrew name Elisheba and probably came to be evolved" from the shortening of Elizabeth to Beth, whence Bess

shortly followed. The first Bess on record Is 6ald to have been Elizabeth Woodville, whose mother, Jacquetta of Luxemburg, imported it from Flanders.

Shakespeare's Edward IV called her Bess and her daughter, Elizabeth of Yorke was called "Lady Bessee" in the verses which told of the political courtship of Henry of Richmond. "Pretty Bessee" is the granddaughter of Simon de Montford in the old English ballad. "Good Queen Bess" is to well known to need comment but through her, Bess had incredible popularity in the English court, at least one out of every three young women bearing the name

of the queen. How Bessee, the endear

ing form of Bess, came to be spelt

Bessie is not satisfactorily explained, unless it is the Scotch preference

which gained vogus in England. Bessie is a favorite Scotci name, but Betsey its equivalent, soon became popular in England and remains so. Germany calls Bessie, Lischen. She. is Babette in France and Betta In Italian. Russia has a form taken from the German: Lisenka. The flame-hearted ruby Is Bessie's talismanic gem. It promises her courage, invincibility, and long life. Sundayis her lucky day and 1 her lucky number. The lily, signifying purity, is her flower.
