Washington, D. C An assurance of increased business prosperity was voiced by President Colidge in an address Monday night to the National Cotton Manufacturers' association. In the present and prospective in dustrial situation Mr. Coolidge saw justification of the tariff and ho again pledged an administration of justice by the government in Its relations with business. The policy of conserv ing to the American producer "the right of first opportunity in the home market," he said, has resulted in a "very fair approximation of demo cracy in industry." He also promised full assistance by the national government in fight ing the boll weevil and indorsed the suggestion for a treaty of co-operation among the cotton producing states. The president reviewed at length tho problems of the cotton manu facturing industry, noting even the return of short skirts and the conse quent reduction in consumption of cloth.

Justifying the tariff, the president declared "the towering stature of our industrial structure as we see it today is the best, is indeed the complete vindication of this policy." "There has been at some times and In sonio quarters a disposition to criticise the American policy ot con serving first opportunity in our home market for our own producers," he said. "We can hardly expect that such a program would be popular with those who find themselves placed at a disadvantage in the greatest market of the world, which Is the American market. Hut those who charge us with selfishness in thus giving first thought to home interests would do well to consider whether their own policies in this regard are more liberal than ours.

But I ain't crazy for the cold Like he Is dear me suz ! Of course In winter days, ray dears, A lot of fun we had But when you git along In years A coal-stove ain't so bad. I recollect occasions when We traveled in a Sleigh And I was nearly frozen then, I recollect today.

T'ORMAN seems to have first been used as a surname in Ireland, but the first name from which It was de rived was Anglo-Saxon and was used throughout the British Isles In early days. This was the name Gormund. Mund In these old first names had the significance of protection and the first syllable "gor" may have come from a word meaning war. The name Gormund then would mean wur-pro-tectlon. Eventually the first name came to be Gorman and this was adopted in Ireland ns a last name, with O'Gormnn, which meant simply son of Gormund. The Gorninns and O'Goruians In this country all seem to have come from Ireland. Both families have con tributed members to congress. There Is Senator James K. o'Gorman and there was a Senator Arthur Pue Gor man of Maryland and a Representa tive James Gorman "from Indiana. Senator Arthur Pue Gorman was born In Maryland in lS.'t!. The son of Peter and grandson of John Gor man, who came to this country from Ireland about 1400, settling in Harris burg, Pa. From that state they went to Maryland and there the family settled. James Sedgwick, n grandson of Ed ward Gorman of county Down. Ire land, was representative from Indiana. Mutr There are two suggested sources for this name. It Is certainly sometimes derived from the word mulr, which Is a north of England and Scotch form for moor. The other sug gestion is that it came from the me dieval muur, the man who kept the raewi the place where the hawks were kept while moulting. There whs uch a person attached to every feu dal cattle while hawking was In fashion and It would he but natural If some of these men derived their surname from their occupation. e b Mcc'lure Newsp.i r Syndicate.)
