Geographic names of French ori gin in the United States stand as permanent monuments to the his torical period when a large part or our territory was held by France, according to Dr. Henry G. Bayer, author and Aesoclate Professor of French at New York university. A list of localities, rivers, lakes and island which bear names of French origin woi^d reach enormous proper tlons were it possible to compile ft, Dr, Bayer declares. Many more, he says, have been anglicized and oth ers corrupted beyond recognition. A list of some 8 000 American geographical names with descrip tions of their French origins lias been prepared by Dr. Bayer, His work ts the result of several years of research and will form the basis of a book to be published this fall under the title. "French Names in the Geography of the United States." In an article in the current Ro manic Review Professor Bayer de scribes a few of the names taken at random from his forthcoming book. Some of the French names in his list appear in many states. LaFay 666 Krlieves a Headache or Ncurulfia m minutes* cheeks a Cold the Ural day. and checks Malaria In 4 days. 666 also in Tablets.

Welcomes Brevity In Modern Speeches Hopes That AH Orator* Mill Take Tip From Introduction By Gardner. Chapel Hill Weekly. At the recent ceremonies connect ed with the new gigantic Empire building in New York ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith's speech consisted of about 28 words. At: Kings Mountain on Tuesday of this week, according to the stop watch held by Charles Parker, the News and Observer correspondent, Governor Gardner spoke hut 25 seconds In Introducing President Hoover. He told the throng that here was their ‘'distinguished chief executive, Herbert Hoover,” and sat down. Which ts the shortest intro duction we ever heard of except the one made by a cabinet officer, whose name we forget when he in troduced President McKinley by avtng: "Gentlemen, the president." Governor Gardner deserves un stinted praise for his forbearance at Kings Mountain, What he said was entirely adequate, and his prompt subsidence was a gracious and considerate act. In North Carolina annals the; great classic In the way of intro- j ductions is the speech that Colonel Kirkpatrick made in presenting I President Wilson to a Charlotte audience—a speech the fame of which goes ringing down the years. The Colonel talked on and on, and used up so much time that the president's remarks had to be cut short. Charlotte citizens still shud der when they recall the episode. President Hoover's address at Kings Mountain was only 22 min- | utes in length. We are gratified to read that it "was far different from the “blood-and-ttumder orations of other Kings Mountain celebrations "! That is negative commendation but still it is something. Twenty-two minutes of commonplace talk is certainly far better than the hour or more which usually has to be en dured on patriotic occasions. The truth is, of course, that no body goes to a Japiboree of this sort to hear a speech. Whoever is really interested in the speech can (tet a much better understanding of it by reading it in the newspapers next day. tVhat people go for is the stir and general hullabaloo—the crowd, the bands, the marching, and the sight of a celebrity. Therefore, the less speaking the better. Mr. I Parker's report says: “The human' mass on the mountainside had gath-! ered to see the president; when it I had seen him It had other business I The mass began to writhe and melt I away. Before the brief address was ended, gaping spaces of brown earth I dotted the slope.” We pray that the recent examples $13.00 SHELBY, N. C. TO WASHINGTON. D.
