Drawing by Ray Walter*. IO YOU like the name of your town? Do you want It changed! Can you prewent good reasons tor making a change! Whether you want a change or not. now La the Um* for everyone interacted In place names to come forward and assist the government In tta gigantic tank of compiling the hundred* of thousands of name* bestowed on geographical units and natural objects throughout America. Now for the first time all the Jonee' corners. Wildcat creeks, Hogback mountains and amusingly named hamlets In the country are to be christened officially by the federal government. Thia compilation will Include th* review of each name for authenticity, proper spelling, and In many cases propriety and convenience. Attempt will be made to evolve new names for places which now have none. Then all will be published In „ an official gazetteer. •The history of the nation is reflected largely in these name*,** said Frank Bond, chairman of the United State* Geographic board, which Is to supervise the sort Tt is a big job. and the board will need a lot of voluntary help. We hope to develop widespread and constructive Interest In place name*.** The board is appealing to the governor* of the states to assist tn quickening the sources of the vast amount of material which the board must gather and scrutinise. The gazetteer la to contain the name, authentically attested even aa to spelling, of every hamlet. village, town and other geographical unit, as well as that of every creek, rlvwr, bay. inlet, mountain or natural object having or deserving sn identifying name. In the majority of case* names already exist tn undisputed forma, and . consequently much of the task will entail compilation only. It is expected. however, that when the board cornea to pass on these officially there *lll bo many demands that old names be discarded and new ones adopted. Even without the stimulation to such . action a* the present work provide*, the board in the past regularly hal bandied many requests of that same sort. In making up the official gazetteer

many changes probably will be thought desirable in certain Instances on account of confusing duplications and sometimes truly objectionable terminology- Recently, for example, the board accepted a new name for Uttle Smallpox ereek In Wisconsin because of the claim that the old name carried a detrimental suggestion. The board has good reason for undertaking this work. !n probably no other country tn the world Is there such a tremendous duplication of place names as In the United States. There are, for example, dozens of Deer and Silver creeks. There are ten or more LookAut mountains, et least two of which are of note historically or otherwise. Scores of towns have been named after famous Americans and well-known European places: the Parises and Londons are legion. This of course results to using the same names more than ever. There are cases of small villages tn the same county using the sams names, and many Instances of neighboring streams being identified by the same name. Theeo confusions made Uttle difference In the early days of the country, but now. with intensified communication, they are bothersome tn many ways. This is particularly true In map making at the kind done by the United States geological survey. Confusion of many kinds has been found. There are Instances of a multiplication of names by common usage for the same place or object. Them am small rivers known to people tn one county by a name different from the «h designating it in another county. Mountains called Hogback

on one side are called Green on th< other. In gasetteering places and objecti that have more than one name each the board must decide which are most authentic and appropriate. There U room for a thousand heated local die ; putes In the clarifying of these confusions. Many people surrender old < place names with great reluctance and ■ many others are equally dlsputatlve about the way place names should be j spelled. In formulating the gazetteer new names will hare to be originated, for there is still a large number of namelees natural objects of distinction or importance in the country. In ths Rockies alone there are hundreds of tall mountain peaks which never been christened. In clarifying confusion and finding appropriate new names a vast amount of research tn local history, custom, phiktingy and convenience must be done. Little attention will be paid to ; etymology as such, for in evolving j place names usage as a rule ignores that science. When L’Eau Frals bo- j comas Low Freight or custom turns Aux Anes Into Ozan the national board raises no staying hand. For the most part the board attempts only to guide the currents of usage. Old names, such as reflect early history or preserve the names of original settlers, are preferred. The objection that an old name is homely or even ludicrous does not carry much weight with the board. Ixdlan names, whereever preserved, also have the affection of the board. But in passing on these no attempt Is made to conform j to the originals as against usage or' simplicity.
