The streets Of Armayir, In the south

numerous stray dogs as was Constan.

dogs, as In the Turkish capital, play
the part OF sanitary scavengers when

But the growing need OF leather stim.

suggestion that the hides OF dogs could
be utilized In the making Of shoes for
the poor pupils In the schools. The
plan was eagerly accepted.
More than 800 stray dogs were
caught, aud already most OF the skins
have been tanned at factory In Vol.

costs about so cents to tan each skin,
from which five or six tops for boots
can he cut.
The leather IS being used without

INSURANCE AMONG THE SWISS
Thrifty Person May Guard Himself

A system of insurance against unem-
ployment prevails In some OF the Swiss
cuntons, whereby persons contributing
a certain sum per month are guaran-
teed employment or paid a weekly in
.demnity for the period during which
they are out OF work. Such persons
must, however, be able TO show that
their unemployment Is not their own
fault. This plan OF insurance Is, how
ever, not general, nor IL II very popu-
lar, as II involves many details which
make II difficult for the benefciaries

Employees OF Swiss Industrial insti-

There are also other systems by

HOW sEDALlA GOT ITS NAME
Gen. George r. Smith Gave the Town
Its Pleasing cognomen In Honor
Of His Young Daughter.

The city Of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by Gen. George X.
Smith, who was distinguished citi-
zen Of Missouri during the years OF the
Civil war and the periods Immediately
before and after that struggle. He
was Nirglnian by birth and "A Ken
tuckian by upbringing; as young man
he came TO Missouri and settled at
Georgetown. which Is three miles north
OF the present city Of Sedslia. He
was prominent both In politics and
business and was instrumental In the
building OF the Missouri Pacific rail-
way from st. Louis 10 Kansas City
during the sos Of the last century.
He could not induce his fellow
townsmen 10 make the necessary ef-
fort 10 have the railway pass through
Georgetown, and, foreseeing that that
would condemn the village 10 decay,
he bought a large tract OF land beside
the railway tracks and laid out town
site there, from which In course OF
time has grown the fiourishing city OF
Sedalla.
When IL came 10 furnishing name
for the new settlement, General Smith
determined to christen II Sedyille, In
honor OF his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name In the family circle
was "Sed." One of his friends, Josiah
Dent of st. Louis suggested that
"ville" was a commonplace termina'
tlon, and that Sedalia would be n more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved OF the suggestion, and
Sedalia came officially into being when
he and his family. the first inhabitants
OF the new town, moved thither In
