operate an immense fruit Jar manufacturing plant here. "We are giving this $1,000,000 because we believe it better to do such things while we are living than allow others to do it for us after we are dead," explained Frank C. Ball, who is president of the manufacturing plant. "Lite at best i3 short and un- . certain and the time for men who have it to do good with their money is when they can personally direct the use of it. Nobody has ever found a way of taking his money with him to wherever he goes after he dies. We lire glad to make these gifts to these institutions and for these purposes, not because we seek appreciation, but because we believes it to be a good thing to do and because of the satisfaction we receive in knowing that we may be responsible to some extent in aiding humanity." List of Gifts The gifts were made in the names
of Frank C. Ball, Edmund B. Ball, George A. Ball, Dr. Lucius I. Ball, and the estate of William C. Ball, and are to be distributed as follows: For eastern division Indiana State Normal School, located in Muncie, $250,000, to be used for additional buildings.

KIWANIS ATTENDANCE DIVISIONS ANNOUNCED The International attendance constest will start with Thursday's meeting of the Kiwanis club and all members are especially urged by Herb Keck, secretary, to be present. Dr. Ray H. Carnes, Dr. Paul Williams and Dr. Herbert Thompson are in charge of Thursday's meeting. A high school orchestra will furnish music for the luncheon. Dr. Ij. F. Ross -will speak on the
"Hospital Staff" as a continuation or a meeting held recently at which John Rupo told some interesting facts " about the standardization plan being y introduced at the hospital. ' For the attendance contest the club has been divided into two divisions, the Bakers, under the leadership of Frank Edmunds, and the Dodgers, under the leadership of Curtis Wickett. The personnel of each team follow: The Bakers No. 1 Earl Bills, captain; Rufus Allen. Rev. Alfred Backus. Emiuett Bartel. Leslie Beach. Elmer Berg, Neil Blv, Ray Mowe. No. 2 Fred Borton. captain: Earl Bone, George Brehm, George Brenizer, Arthur Bundy, Ray Carnes, Harry Chenoweth. No. 3 Ed Crawford, captain; Dr. E. R.

will object, except perhaps the parents whose judgment has been questioned. Certainly the law will not stop him. There is a great deal in a name, Will Shakespeare to the contrary notwithstanding. A rose would unquestionably lose some of Its beauty if it were called a turnip, and there are names which obviously detract from the glamor and dignity of a human personality. A woman would have to be extremely beautiful to live down the effect of the name Lizzie Buzzard which is one selected at random from the telephone directory and a
man would have to be scintillating indeed to overcome the general impression created by the name of Peter B. Dull, another telephone subscriber. Business men, especially retailers, can not afford to have long and complicated names; which explains why so many immigrants eliminate a syllable or two from their names after resid-
I ing in this country awhile.
It is not common for people to apply to the courts for permission to change their names, but it is not compulsory. They do so only as an extra precaution in case relatives should leave them legacies, and it should become necessary for them to prove, beyond the question of a doubt, that they were once the owners of the names mentioned in the wills. This privilege of repudiating a displeasing cognomen is one of our many inheritances, from English common law, and one which is not enjoyed by most European nations, where a change in name is cer
tain to excite the suspicion both of the police and the passport authorities. Many people keep the names they have inherited not because they have any special affection for them, but because they do not realize how easy it would be to get rid of them. They are under the impression that they would hare to take the matter to court when, as a matter of fact, all they would have to do would be to make the announcement. The possession of the name-changing privilege was definitely confirmed , in New York state in the case of Smith versus United States Casualty Company -when Judge Vann, who handed down the opinion, quoted some historical examples to substantiate it... ' "A predecessor of Honore de Balzac," he wrote, "was born a Guez, which means beggar, and grew to manhood under the name. When he became conscious of his powers as a writer, hedid not wish his works to be published under that humble name, so he selected the surname of Balzac
from an estate that he owned. "Voltaire, Moliere. Dante, Petrarch,

the names of Dlaces
Not long ago, for instance, the welfare Department of the city of New York decided to change the name of historic "Blackwells" to "Welfare
Island." Accordingly, the change was recorded on the city maps and files,
but New Yorkers have never accepted
it, and even after a long campaign of urgent publicity, they still say "Blackwells Island." Likewise, they have sternly resisted all efforts to change the name of Bowery to any of the insignificant appellalations at various times suggested for it, including Central Broadway, Grand Avenue and Hewitt Avenue. These were thought to be more genteel by their originators, but the opposition declared that the name Bowery connects the thoroughfare with old Dutch days and has come down through the centuries a memorial of all that was interesting in the history of this important street, and that it should never be discarded. .

Seek to Set Aside $1,000,000 Bequests CHICAGO, March , 8. Suit to set aside bequests of nearly $1,000,000 to religious and educational Institutions in America and Italy by the late Mrs. Angela C. Gormulley was instituted by her brother, James O'Meara, and two nephews yesterday. Mrs. Gormulley, who was the wife of Philip R. Gormulley, head of a bicycle manufacturing firm, imagined she was descended from Italian royalty, the suit charged, and was under undue Influence of Charles A. O'Hara, president of the Roman Catholic North American college in Rome. The brother and nephews asserted

victories naa lured him toward a crown and he wanted a grander name to aid his daring aspirations. The Duke of Wellington was not by blood a Wellesley. but a Colley, his grandfather, Richard Colley, having assumed the name of a relative named
Wesley, which was afterward extended to Wellesley." Further instances of interesting adopted names are contributed by another authority, who writes: All Actors Were Vaaabonds
"In the days when actors were legally classified as "vagabonds" it was customary for every player to assume a 'stage name, and the custom continued well into the present era. But in these days, when actors and actresses are invited to tea in the best houses they generally take their real names to the stage with them. Lou Tellegen, however, was originally Isidor Louis Bernard Edmund van Dominelen. Sir Henry Irving, who did more than any other actor to bring about the social recognition of his profession, aided by the good will of that Prince of Wales, 'the first gentleman of Europe,' who afterward reigned as Edward VII, was born Broadribb and adopted Irving as a stage name. "Artemus Ward and Mark Twain were literary examples of adopted names. Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, was originally John Nowlands. For euphony in authorship, James B. Taylor become Bayard Taylor and James B. Matthews became Brander Matthews. Ulysses S. Grant began as Hiram S. Grant, Grover Cleveland as Stephen G. Cleveland, and Whitelaw Reid as Jacob W. Reid. "There is also the historical case of Thomas W. Wilson, president of the United States as Woodrow Wilson." One of the most difficult things about changing your name, of course, is in getting your family and friends to ac
cept it. Long after you have become

but so far the suggested substitutes Roosevelt Square and Bennett Square (for the founder of the Herald) have not won the support of the public. New York, in fact, takes rather more interest in names than most cities, and once having given its endorsement to one, remains thereafter wholly faithful. Thus, it would seem to a mere visitor that a favorite name is sometimes a bit overworked, as in the vicinity of Amsterdam avenue and 110th street where every other shop or so bears the name of "Cathedral." "It's all right to have a cathedral lunchroom," remarked one amused observer, "for men oft the cloth must
eat. I suppose the Cathedral barber shop is not incongruous either, because cleanly shaven faces are seemly in the pulpit The Cathedral Soft Drink Palace would also pass, but the Cathedral delicatessen offering kosher meats exclusively does seem to be overworking the name a bit." It is possible, therefore, that the

LOSE YOUR FAT. KEEP YOUR HEALTH Superfluous flesh is not healthy, neither is it healthy to diet or exercise too much for its removal. The simplest method known for reducing the overfat body easily and steadily is fhe Marmola Method, tried and endorsed by thousands.

Better Than Calomel
Ed-
Thousands Have Discovered Dr,
wards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards' Olive tablets the substitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effects on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive-colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, and have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometin.es plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling ' come " from constipation, and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and "heavy." They "clear" clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and 30c. Advertisement.

CONCRETE
UJsnclle Sam Paatto Simsrete No one has better facilities for determining the past performance of roads of all kinds in all parts of the country than the United States Government. The Government approves the types of construction to which it will lend its aid, and in an overwhelming majority of instances it has approved Concrete. Cooperating with the states, the Government has approved in the past nVe years expenditures totaling $229,000,000 for three kinds of pavement Concrete, brick and bituminous. Of this, $184,00000, or more than 80 per cent, has been invested in Concrete. That represents793 per cent of the mileage paved. Any community that selects Concrete for its highways is fully sustained in its choice by the observation and experience of the Federal Government.
