When is in a name? Quite a bit, say the experts, for almost any name can be traced back to its medieval origin and in many cases lives a clue as to the person's occupation or where he lived.

forman names, were greatly helped by Robin Hood and by the promi-
ence of Richard the Lion-Hearted,
respectively.
Of our three commonest names, Smith, Taylor, and Brown, the first two are occupational names and the third is a nickname. The name Smith was applied to all metal workers such as medieval locksmiths and locksmiths.
The absence of names like Alfred and Edward can be accounted for once they belonged to the conquered people. Though Edward was evived as the name of a long line of English kings, its contribution to England has been small.
Before 1870 many British people did not spell their names at all, but trusted the parson and the town clerk to produce a recognizable form. Even now, people in the rural districts of Great Britain may find a half dozen variants of their names among the sparse documentary records of their lives.
Most people are particular about the spelling of their names. The greatest of English authors was so careless that he signed his name Shaksper," among other ways. The experts tell us that the modern spelling of any particular name is pure accident.

Wives' Kissing Powerful
LONDON (UP)—A British doctor writing in a medical journal said to him that some men can break out in a rash just by kissing theirives. They might be allergic to stink, he said.
During 1955 Pennsylvania had 27 fires in which the damage exceeded a quarter-million dollars.
High School Papers Honored
The William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information has recognized 29 Kansas high schools for journalistic work of merit in the 1955-56 school year.
Entries were submitted by 46 schools in the 36th annual high school newspaper contest. Many schools entered the contest for the first time this year.
The entries were classified and judged in 12 divisions. They were news stories, editorials, features, human interest stories, interviews, sports stories, news and feature pictures, retail advertisements, service to school, business management, columns, and miscellaneous.
Wichita East, Wyandotte of Kansas City, and Washington Rural high schools were winners of five awards each. Dickinson County Community High School at Chapman, Fredonia and Iola each had four winners.
Wichita East High School, which has won the service to school award six consecutive years, shared the honor with Norton High School this year.
Art Show Entries Due Wednesday
Entries for the Delta Phi Delta art show may be submitted to 32F Strong today and Wednesday until 4 p.m.
Anyone is eligible to enter the show and any art medium is acceptable.
The show will open Sunday in the south lobby of the Student Union. Judges are Robert Branner, assistant professor of history of art, Julius Smith, head of the sculpture department of the Kansas City Art Institute, and John Armstrong, instructor of art in the Kansas City Art Institute.
2 Have Paintings On Display In K.C
Jerry Buchanan, Wichita sophomore, and Tailleur, instructor of drawing and painting, have work on display in the Mid-America annual exhibition at the Nelson Art Galleries, Kansas City, Mo. The exhibit will open Friday and run through June 3.
John Armstrong, former University art instructor now at the Kansas City Art Institute, also had work accepted for the show.
Buchanan's work is an oil painting called "Sailboats" and Mr. Talleur's, also an oil painting is called "The Resurrection."
The role of the painter-teacher in the Midwest today and what art is specifically the art of painting, will be the subjects of a talk by John Tallere, instructor of drawing and painting, at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Trophy Room of the Student Union.
Mr. Tallour will use slides in developing the premise that object making has a continuous development from Paleolithic times until the 19th century. He also will show that the artist as an object maker was lost and re-discovered by Cezanne and Picasso.
