William Howard and John Rowden, both of Port Hope, who observed something swimming in the water did not get close enough to be able to de- scribe what they say, but are of the opinion 'that it was the same animal or fish that created fhe panic at Oshawa beach.

Another way of describing them was to call them John, William's son: John, Harry's son, and John, Kob ert's son, and so on, in the course of time, the surnames Williamson, Harrison and Robertson came in- to general use. Each had a good many variants and we have to- day, in some cases, dozens of dif- ferent surnames which are really the same thing. From William's son, for in- stance, we have Williamson, Wil- liams, Wilson, Will, Willis, Wil- kin, Wilkins, Wilkinson, Bilson and many others. Henry gives us Harry, Harrison, Harris, Hender- son, Hall, Halls, whilst from Rob- ert we have Robb, Robson, Rob- erts, Robertson, Robbins, Robin- son and many others. Some surnames came from a nickname given to an ancestor. Thus, if there were two Richards in the same Village, one might be known as Richard Armstrong and the other as Richard Crook- shank. Long; Short, Stout, Lit- tle, Meager and probably Drink- water are other instances of age- old nicknames. In a fascinating book, "The Story of Surnames," published recently by Messrs. Routledge, W. D. Bowman tells of the ways in which the family names of today came into being. ProsPerous Mr. Smith Another way of distinguishing one 'Thomas from another was to describe them by the tarms or vil- lages of their birth. Thus, one might be known as Tom of Denton and the other as Tom of Four- acres. These soon became the family names Denton and Four- acres. Why is it there are so many Smiths and Joneses? In the old days when the number of horses was very high in proportion fo the population and when iron was ked by hand in every part of the country, smiths formed one of the largest classes of trades- Saturday Morning For One Hour Only From 10 to 11 am.

Some foreigners whose name was the equivalent of Smith in their own language translated it into the English form, whilst others Adopted the name because it was The Joneses owe their number to the popularity of John as a Christin name in, Wales, for Jones is simply another form of John's or Johnson. Probably more people have surnames deriv- ed from the Christian name John than from any other source, for beside Jones and Johnson we have Johns, Jack, Jacks, Jackson Aid in War to Curb | Illicit Traffic Washington, July 23. United States recently announced its inténtion of signing the 1931 | convention for limiting the man- ufacture and regulating the dis- tribution of narcotic drugs. The agreement will be of great value, it is said, in aiding the American Government in its war against the illicit drug traffic. The States Department an- nounced instructions had been sent to John K. Caldwell, chair- man of the American delegation at the Geneva conference, to: sign for the United States, Two Salient Features The convention, as explained by a state department official, has two salient features: 1. Narcotic may not be manu- factured in excess of the amounts estimated by the signatory govern- ments as necessary for medical and scientific use. Plants for their manufacture must be licens- ed and national quotas will be fix. ed by a supervisory body to be created at Genevn. Each nation will control domestic distribution by prescriptions or permits. 2 International traffic in nar- cotics will be controlled by per- mits Each signatory power agrees to prevent exportation of narcoties unless a permit for im- portation has been issued by the country of destination, Habit-forming derivatives of opium and the cocoa leaf are the principal commodities with which the new convention deals. It does not deal with the production of raw opium or opium prepared for smoking, ' Smuggling May Be Cut The United States reserved the right to impose domestic restric- tions more rigid than those car- ried in the convention As a mat- ter of fact, it was explained, Am- erican control is now more dras- tic than the new international agreement, but the advantage to the United States lies in the an- ticipated reduction of smuggling. As the State Department it was said, this is a most important fac- tor, one per cent of the drugs seized in {llicit traffic are of domestic manufacture. Smuggling chief source of supply for the il- licit trade, due to the stringency of domestic regulationg. During 1930 government seizures of {lli- cit drugs at the borders and inter- ior points included 1,137 pounds of opium, 26,492 ounces of mor- phine, 2,751 ounces of heroin, and 639 ounces of cocaine besides smaller quantities' of = miscellan eous drugs. SURNAME ORIGINS ARE TOLD IN BOOK Suffered Queer Changes The Mr. Bakers of today fre- quently need dough. Their an- cestors of four or five centuries ago kneaded it. Baker, like Tay- lor, Carpenter, Smith, Butcher. Fletcher, Driver or Mercer be- longs to the clasg of surnames which denoted originally the trade of their possessors. Surnames are of comparatively modera origin, for they were prac- tically unknown in the time of the Norman Conquest, and not very common for a long while af- ter that. All have their meanings but many have suffered queer changes in form. If, for in- stance, your name js Coward, you need not imagine that an early ancestor was of a nervous disposi- tion. He was probably quite the reverse, for he followed the call- ing of a cow-herd. Surnames Mean Same When the population of this country was very small surnames were not needed to distinguish one name from another.
