Finding It Hard
To Turn Over Big
Concern to Workers

new York, Jan. o-(AP)-MorrlS
Rosenwasser, who 80 years ago
founded the shoe manufacturing firm
Of Rosenwasser Brothers, Inc, and
since has built up the business to a
valuation between $1,000, 900 and $3,-
100000, says he Is working harder
trying to turn it over to his employees
than he did in building it.
His plan is to make gift of the
good will but to have the employees
purchase the assets from the future
profits. Actual work along these
lines was started Jan. 2.
Mr.. Rosenwasser gave out today
that when he first considered the
plan he looked upon it as a business
experiment. Now, he said, he real
ICES that he has undertaken a huge
experiment in nature.
Not the least difficulty was con-
vincing several old employees that
they could safely leave the weekly
pay check for an interest in the
business. The weekly envelope, he
found. has become such a symbol of
financial stability to certain en-
PAOSCo IkOioiu6 cNcCutlN0 pOSlIlOlS
that they cannot comprehend sys-
tenn which eliminates it in favor Of
dividends.
To eliminate this objection and
others, Mr.. Rosenwasser determined
to establish four companies in addi-
ton to the parent company, dividing
the departments of manufacture.
While some employees were dis
trustful. others were over-eager to
annex their new shares. Several
skilled workers refused the offer, it
was pointed out, while the porter
who daily sweeps the sidewalks
around the large plant at Long Is
land City rivalled the chosen execu-
tives in enthusiasm.
Mr.. Rosenwasser said he conceived
the plan two years ago, and has
since been training some of the men
for executive duties. None of the
new executives is over IS. The presi-
dent of one of the new companies is

clared.
The retiring president pointed out
that to help his employees in getting
started, the parent company will
continue an entity. and it's president
will supervise the actions of the new
officers. IF they make profits" he
said, all well and good. But I can
not see them take a loss"

He was more thirsty than hungry. He
felt that If he could slip out and get

After long, long time II became
very quiet. Danny ventured out of
the little cupboard. There were none
Of those two-1egged creatures to be

could look out at the Great World.
In two directions as far as he could
see was shining sand. Out in front
was water just as far az he could see.
Back Of him was what looked much
like the Old Pasture at home. In
the distance he could see the houses
of those two-legged creatures called
men.
But Danny didn't stop to do much
looking. He wanted q drink and he
wanted it right away. Just little
way from where he was he saw a
little puddle of water. He looked
anxiously this way and that way, but
saw no one to be afraid of. He
climbed down from the airplane and
ran swiftly through the coarse. stiff
grass growing out Of the sand, until
he was close to that puddle. Then he
ran out and plunged his little nose
into the water. He took one good
swallow and then such a wrv face
as he madei My, my, my. such q WIZ

Danny was at the seashore. He
didn't know it, but that's where he
was.

squeaky little voice, and ran back
into the grass, for he didn't dare
stay out there in the open. That
taste of salt water made him even
thirstier than before. Now what

Clues to Character
Ternners.
M J. Q. ABERNErHY.

Tempers.
Beautiful and healthy expression
arises from the natural luster and
humidity OF the eye. In abnormal
characters these two factors Of ex.
precision vary This humidity IL
caused by the secretions Of the glands
Of the eye and lids. which In healthy
people constantly secrete lubricating
fluid, which serves several purposes.
To begin with, 1t assists the eyeball in
rotating. This fluid also serves the
purposes of moistening and dissolying
the particles Of dust which in q dry
state would cause great irritation.
The luster Of the eye arises partly
from the equality or fineness Of the
nervous mechanism. Moisture Of the
lips and eyes are evidences Of healthy
action In both Of these features, while
dry eyes and dry lips reveal UNI
healthy conditions. Physicians are
guided In their diagnosis Of disease
by the dryness and moisture Of these
features, as well as by the dryness
and moisture found in other parts Of
the head, and face.
Naked eyeballs standing In open
sockets depict q picture of an un.
bridled temper.
Eyes with lids closely drawn often
are found in rogues, liars, sneaks and
ayaricious beings, while eyes too wide
open indicate inaccuracy Of vision and
absence Of capacity for accurate or
truthful description Of things seen.
