"Old Dominion"
gold DOMINION" 4. a popular

"OLD DOMINION" is a popular So
~ briquet for the state Of Virginia.
In the early days OF English coloniz-
ing Virginia. as the first, was se-
neric term for all their new world set
Elements. Thus, In Capt. John Smiths
History Of Virginia" edition of 1929
a map Of the settlements Of Virginia
includes New England and other Brit
ish colonies.
The present state of Virginia is
there called "Old Virginia" while the
New England colony is called New
Virginia" Thus the epithet "Old" is
accounted for. From the settlement
of the colony to the outbreak Of the
revolution every ofiicial document
designated virginia as THE Colony
and Dominion of Virginia" Spenser
dedicated his 'Faerie Queene" to Eliza
beth. queen of England. France and
Ireland. and sovereign of the Dom
inion of Virginia"
Here we have the other word of the
epithet Another explanation asserts
that the precise title Old Dominion
was bestowed on the state by Charles
1. Virginia had refused to recog-
nixe Cromwell and the protectorate,
and after the execution OF Charles l
transferred it's allegiance to Charles
ii. then in exile on the continent. The
governor, Sir William Berkeley, even
wrote to the royal refugee. inviting
him to come over to his loyal subjects
as their king. Cromwell sent q fleet
against the recalcitrant province,
which yielded under protest to su-
perior force.
But az soon As the news of Crom-
wells death arrived, Charles II was
solemnly proclaimed King OF Great
Britain, Ireland and Virginia. All
writs and processes were issued in his
name. He was therefore de facto king
of Virginia, before he had begun to
reign at home. In gratitude for this
loyalty. it Is further said. Charles
caused the arms of the province OF
Virginia to be quartered with those
of England. Ireland and Scotland. as
q distinct portion of the Old Dominion.

BOMB JUST MISSED
U. S. AMBASSADOR
AT PARIS, FRANCE
Bursts In Home of Envay and Valet
Is Injured SiightIy-Property
Is Damaged.

PARIS.-A bomb, believed by police
to have been esnt by French com
munists as a protest against the con
viction of two communists in the
United States charged with murder
exploded recently in the residence OF
Myron T. Herrick, American ambas-
sador to France. A valet was injured
and part Of the house damaged.
The small, oblong package, wrapped
in plain white paper, tied with a
strong cord and marked perfume
lay on a table in the American en-
bassy all morning. 1t was addressed
personally to the American ambassa-
dor and had been delivered by regis
tered post.
Thinking it was a gift, the ambas-
sador's secretary, Lawrence Norton,
carried it to the ambassadors resi-
dence.. Early in the evening the am
bassador's valet, Walter Blanchard,
saw the package on a desk, and fol
lowing custom started to open it. The
removal of the paper revealed a small
~pasteboard box, such as might be
used for holding soap. Almost imme-
diately a spring was released, and as
Blanchard lifted the lid he heard a
familiar noise, which brought back the
days when he was a bomber in the
British army. He hurled the box
through the open bathroom door and
ran from the room. The bomb ex-
ploded in the doorway. Two frag-
ments hit the valet in the back. He
was not seriously injured

law, Mrs. Parmely Herrick, and her

WAGE QUESTION ARGUMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C. Having
agreed upon definite remedial policies
for the emergencies and permanent
relief of the unemployed and the re-
turn of commerce. and business to
normal, the national unemployment
conference has completed it's labors,
undertaken at the request of President
Harding, and adjourned without date.
All interests within the nation
were urged to join in effecting a
normal adjustment of wages and
prices, in a statement on behalf of
the employer members of the confer
ence. read by Ernest T. Trigg of Phil
adelphia and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent Of the American Federation of
Labor, pledging the support of labor
to the constructive policies approved
by the conference.
In its less than three weeks of ex-
istence, the conference adopted pro-
posals for solving many OF the major
economic difficulties of the nation and
suggested machinery for the immedi-
ate relief of the unemployed.
Existing unemployment was found
by the conference to be a matter for
the communities to handle with the
responsibility for its mitigation placed
upon the mayors.

gress.
Permanent measures adopted by
the conference covered a wide range
of economic factors, including sug-
gestions for readjustment of dispro-
p%ortionate increases in prices, due to
increased cost of transportation, en-
larged profits, interest, taxes, labor
and other charges.
