Why Crosses Mean
Kisses

Whatever your sex, at some time or
other you have probably written and
put some "crosses" in it-for kisses.
But have you ever wondered why a
cross should be used as the written
symbol of kiss?
This story takes US back to the
lines when few could read, and still
fewer could write. In that respect
the nobility were no better than those
of lower station in life; but deeds
transferring property, wills and other
documents had to be signed somehow.
So those who not could write their
names, "made their mark" and this,
in an age when religious symbolism
was very much in evidence, almost
invariably took the form of cross.
From motives of reverence the shape
used was not that of the cross of
Calvary, but the st. Andrews cross,
which resembles the letter "X."
Having duly made their mark, the
signatories of document then kiss
ed it-partly as pledge of good
faith and partly as an act of rever-
ence And so the cross marked on
paper became associated with kiss.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-04-01

is April "a. Department Commander
Edwin l. Lindell points out that it
is not too early for posts and units to
begin considering plans for some sort
of an observance.
A program suggested by the Ma
tional Amercanism Commission is as
follows:
Singing, America" assembly; In
vocation; reading by all Of the Amer
leans Creed; welcoming the newly
spect for law and order, thus con-
demming the revolutionists who would
destroy our government and Consti-
tuition; remarks by any foreign-born
American citizen on what America
and her Constitution means to him;
singing 'The Star Spangled Banner,
by the assembly.
"Make the naturalized citizens feel
that they are welcome in the COM
munity by setting democratic exam
pie and making them feel that we are
interested in then," National Head
quarters urges.
One of the reasons for .Americanism
Day, is obviously, the fact that May
l has come to be known as the May
Day" of the Communists, who have
consecrated it to internationlism and
the overthrow of institutions.
The American Child Health asso-
citation proposes that May be the
occasion for MAY Day athletic festi
walls" for children. Commander Lin
dell asks that posts cooperate in any
such plans if they are brought to the
attention of the Legion organization.

Jazzing Up The Hen.

From "Hits and Mrs." reprinted in
Grafton Record: Poison Carrots was
in to see the county commissioners
last Friday. He presented them with
a petition signed by himself and the
hired man, asking for loan of $375
to start an experimental station at
his farm.
Poison prides himself on doing the
right thing and refused the nail kee
the chairman was occupying and sat
down on the table which blushed all
over when the red ink bottle broke
under him.
One of the commissioners made 9
motion that Poison be allowed the
floor, the table being needed for other
purposes; and he got up and unfold
ed his voice; he said that he and the
hired man had been doing consid
cradle thinking during the past win
ter and they had a plan very nearl!
perfected whereby hen could b.
taught to lay two eggs per day.

Auto Smash Results
In Big Damage Suits

AS a result of the auto accident
which occurred on the evening of Oc-
tober 10, 1928, west of this citv. in
which Ford coupe driven by fray-
eilng man representing the Advance
Rumley Company, bumped into the
rear end OF Frank Gatzka's car as it
slowed down to hail the Mont Stage
line bus, suits aggregating $50, 765
have been instituted against the Ad-
vance-Rumley company.
Frank Gatzka and wife and child,
Mr.: Spriegel of Clements, Miss Nellie
Hanson of this city and Miss Pearl
Holden of Lamberton, were driving to
Springfield that evening. Miss Holden
intended to take the bus to Lamber-
ton. They met the bus on the road
west of this city and slowed down to
hail the bus with the result that the
travelling man drove his car into the
rear of the Gatzka car. Mr.. Spriegel
was quite severely injured at the time
and was taken to the hospital. He
sued the company about a year ago
and his case was settled for $4,000.
Recently suits were instituted by
Frank Gatzka, Mrs. Catherine Gatz-
ka, Rita Gatzka and Pearl Holden in
the district court of Brown county
through their attorney Davis & Mi
chel of Minneapolis. Mr.. Gatzka sues
for $2,950 for damages to his car and
injuries to his person and asks $5,815
damages for loss of services of his
wife. Mrs. Gatzka sues for SIS 900 for
injuries sustained Suit is instituted
on behalf of Rita Gatzka, five-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. GatZka. for
$4,000 for personal injuries. Miss Hol-
den sues for $4,000 for injuries.
The Advance-Rumley company car
ried liability insurance, but the trav-
cling man failed to report the acct
dent to his company and consequently
the insurance company was not noti-
fled of the accident within the time
required by the policy. The travelling
man was afraid he might lose his po-
sition. 1t developed that he had been
in another accident the same evening,
his car landing in ditch.-Spring-
field News.
