SOUTHERN STATES TO BUY
MOUNTAINS FOR PARKS
ASHEVILLE, N. Dec. 8.(/P)—
North Carolina, Tennessee and Vir
ginia are out to buy mountains.
The states want the first two great
national parks to be established in
the Southeast and now are engaged
in the task of raising funds for the
acquisition of a section of the Great
Smoky Mountains of Western N. C.,
and Eastern Tennessee, and part of
the Blue Ridge in the Shenandoah
region of Virginia.
After the purchases have been made
the mountains will be presented to
the government, which, through Sec
retary of Interior Work and the Fed
eral Park Commission, has sanction
ed the projects. The state legisla
tures have passed measures to assist
the campaigns for funds.
FAMILY NAME IN GERMANY
NOT USED AS GIVEN NAME
BERLIN, Dec. 8. (/P)—A German
first-born may be baptized with the
given name of Hindenburg, but the
name must not be entered in the
church registers as a part of the boys
name.
In German it is not permtted to
use a family name as a given name.
Such combinations as Woodrow Wil
son, Franklin Roosevelt, Washington
Irving, Luther Burbank, or Douglas
Fairbanks, would not be possible in
Germany, as the Christian names of
Woodrow, Franklin, etc., would be
interpreted to be family names which
must not be misused.
The pastor who keeps the church
register or the clerk in the city reg
ister’s office has the right to question
any name that is offered as a given
name. The burden of proof is upon
the parent to demonstrate that the
name he proposes to demonstrate up
on his child, is a generally accepted
Christian name.
CHURCHES HOLD TREASURE
UPSALA, Dec. 8. (/P)—Swedish al
ters hold a national fortune of about
$27,000,000 in art treasures. A gen
eral art inventory of church property
was taken as part of a movement to
preserve the nation’s cultural inheri
tances and the antiquities that are
represented for each province. The
average value of the contents of each
church was estimated at $10,800.

ON PEOPLE AS TIME PASSES
PARIS, Dec. 8. —Changed times in
Europe are lessening the popularity
of tihe French novel.
People in France are studying econ

history, costing three times the price
of the novel, have found a remark
able sale, and there also has been a
revival of editions of Greek and Ro
man classics in the original text and
in translations.
Of the 9887 books published in the
country last year, only 1,148 were
novels while 2,008 were on social and
economic questions. A compari
son of books on sale with those of
fered before the World war showed
a greatly marked improvement in
taste.

Do you believe in clubs forewomen?”
“Yes, if kindness fails."
