C Official reports on the March tax payments indicate to treasury officials that their -sti-mate of receipts for the quarter and for the fiscal year ending next June 30 will be borne out. The March installment had been calculated at $430,000,000 and receipts for the fiscal year placed at $1,600, 000,000 in the treasury department. Secretary Mellon and Under-Secretary Winston also had expected that 80 per cent of the March payments would be in the hands of collectors by March 21 for certification to tho treasury and their figures, they said Monday, show ed that the total on Saturday approxi mated 80 per cent of the $430,000,000. While the trend thus indicated has given the treasury a feeling of se curity as to the income for the gov ernment in the current fiscal year, no one, in the secretary's opinion, can tell, at this time the full effect of the reduced rates carried by the present tax law and he regards it as unlike ly that the treasury will be able to compute its producing power until after the June payment is received. The fact that the treasury will not know definitely concerning the present law has not, however, delayed its plans for going ahead with a study of the changes in preparation for further tax revision next fall. Tax experts now are engaged in going over administrative provisions of the law in an effort to find ways of stopping leakages and are drawing on informa tion gathered by A. W. Orebb, assist ant to the secretary of the treasury, In his recent study of British tax ao? ministratlon. Mr. (Iregg was the treasury's rep resentative during consideration of taxation by congress when the pres ent law was in process of formation and he probably will set forth the treasury policies in the next one.

TENNESSEE OUTLAWS EV0LUTIAN. Nashville, Topn. Tennessee Mon day rang down the curtain on the Darwin-Huxley drama when Governor Peay signed a bill passed by the gen eral assembly casting into discard the theory of evolution. The bill bars tho teaching of evo lution in the public schools, normals and colleges of the state. The gov ernor in a message to the legislature :m ( oinpanylng the signed bill declared evolution "at variance with the teach ing of man's creation as related in the Bible." The governor defended his deci sion bjf declaring that the bill repre sented a "distinct protest against nn Irreligious tendency to exalt socalled science and deny the Bible in sonic schools and quarter! a tendency fundamentally wrong and fatally mis chievous in its effects on our children, our Institutions and our country." The bill contravenes neither "free dom of religion" nor "strict separa tion of church and stute," the gover nor said, these being "fixed principles in the country." "It is manifestly Impossible," the message continued, "for our school system to omit all nttentlon to the Bible and wholly to Ignore It." Hearing Given Doctor.

Man -William Elder, a Christian Science practitioner of this city, convicted of manslaughter March 14, Monday was sentenced to four months in prison. Chicago. Conditions rapidly im proved Sunday in the region swept last Wednesday by the most destruc tive tornado in tho history, of the country, and the night of the fourth day after the catastrophe saw the burial of nearly the last of the 800 or more persons killed by the storm. Relief work continued at a rapid pace, turning to the establishment of more permanent quarters for the un hurt homeless and the transferring of many of the nearly 3000 injured to better places for treatment. Even while every church was filled with mourners for mass funerals re lief emissaries proceeded with their work in the hospitals and the tempor ary shelters provided for the unhous ed population of the score of cities that were wholly or partly wrecked by the wind. Workers who could be spared from the work of burial in the cemeteries went on with the task of searching for any person who had possibly been overlooked in the hundreds of homes leveled during the storm. And hope sprang eternal in the breasts of the survivors as they plan ned for rehabilitation while still suf fering the pangs of grief for friends and relatives taken so quickly by the fury of the elements. The total death list for the five states hit by the storm Sunday night stood at 810. Rechecking may show- that there are some duplications in the total, but with a goodly number expected to die of Injuries, those who are in charge of the relief work said that the toll would more likely re main above 800 than sink below that number. Raising of relief funds went for ward all through Sunday in all parts of the country, largely In churches and by radio appeals. One radio sta tion in Chicago had raised $100,000. Tile funds subscribed in Chicago have passed the million-dollar point, and other cities near the devastated re gion are not far behind. With the beginning of a new week. establishment of permanent relief fa cilities will be pushed rapidly and the reconstruction of factories and homes will bo hastened as tho more pressing dtttlei of emergency help and burial are out of the way. Looking upward and onward, the survivors of the tornado disaster of southern Illinois and southern In diana stood shoulder to shoulder Sun day and prayed for courage to be strong. Memorial services for tho dead of more than 800 in the stricken section of five states marked the first Sun day since the storm. Railroad Attorney Quizzed. Wushington. D. C.

'"pHIS name can simply be classified as being derived from a first name ', a first name once more popular than It Is today. Gregory is a name of Greek origin, coming from a lute and ! corrupt Greek won I meaning watch man. It was borne by several bishops and one pope In the early church and hence had popularity among Chris tians both in the East and West. Later it was borne by fifteen other popwa who did more or less to popu larize it. It might be supposed that the Scotch name MacGregor was derived from this. But such is not probably the case. That name Is derived from Grig or Galrig, meaning tierce. Prob ably where Gregory appears as a Scotch name It Is really not from the old Greek Gregory but from Gregot or Grig. The French form is Gregolre, which Is found as a surname as well us first name, and the German Gregor and Gregus both have given surnames. One of the Interesting families of the name here is of French origin bearing originally the name Gregolre. The founder of this family was Rene Gregolre, a French soldier who set tled on a coffee plantation In Santo Domingo with his bride, Agnes Ifciu heau or Robue. They hud 13 chil dren, all of whom save Caspar Rain say Gregolre were killed In a great massacre. Caspar, who was born in 1785, escaped to New Jersey, where he settled down, eventually marrying a widow. He was persuaded to spell his name Gregory. He had two chil drenHenry Duval and Caspar Ro bue. Of these Henry Duvul was a very able and well-known Greek und Latin scholar and an educator of note. The other Gregolres seem to have come from England r Scotland, Eliot Gregory, an artist and writer of some note, was descended from Gilbert Gregory who came to this country from Fngland, settling In Connecticut In 1640. James l'enniniore Cooper was a grent uncle of his. John Milton Gregory, born In 1822, came from English ancestors, settled In Norvvalk, Conn., who probably came originally from Massachusetts and ultimately from England. bjr McJClur Nwipper Syndlcto T AIN'T just sure just how to do, Not all the time.
