backbone.

Moss Rose Legend

According to German tradition, the
legend Of the moss rose is as follows:
"Once upon time an angel, having q
mission Of love to suffering humanity,
came down on earth. He was much
grieyed at all the sin and misery he
saw and at all the evil things he heard.
Being tired, he sought place to rest,
but as it Jared with his master, so it
Jared with him, there was no room
for him, and no one would give him
shelter. At last he lay down under
the shade of rose and slept until
the rising sun awoke him. Before
winging his flight heavenward he ad-
dressed the rose and said that, as 1t
had given him shelter which man de-
MED. 1t should receive an enduring
token OF his love. and so, leaf by leaf,
and twig by twig, the soft moss grew
around the stem, and there 1t Is to-
day, cradle in which the newborn
rose may lie, proof of Gods power
and love-"

Authority on Spelling
of Geographical Names

The federal department which Is
the final authority on the spelling of
geographical names Is the United
States Geographic board. AS far as is
practicable, the United States Post Of
fee department accepts the decisions
Of this board In all its official spell
ings. In the case of Pittsburgh, Pa,
the board was first asked to pass on
the correct spelling In 1891, at which
time it decided In favor Of the spell
Ing "Pittsburg." This decision, how
ever, met with great deal Of opposi-
tion among citizens generally in Pitts
burgh, and In 1911 the board consent
ed to reconsider the case One of the
deciding factors in the final decision
was the "original seal Of the Borough
OF Pittsburgh" which was struck In
1874, and which was brought forward
as evidence. The Geographic boards
final decision in 1911 reversed the orig
inal decision and established Pitts
burgh as the official spelling of the
name Of this city.

FEW COMPANIES
REPORT PAYING
DISMISSAL WAGE
National Industrial Confer
ence Board Finds Most
Workers Get No Extra
Pay When Deprived of
Jobs

New York City (ILNS)-In a sur
vey OF the extent of payment of dis
mlssal wages, the National Industrial
Conference Board, an employers or
ganization, found that out of 2,61s
companies covered in the survey, only
o3, or per cent of the total, pay dis
missal wages under formal plans and
only 30 additional pay dismissal al
lowances in special cases.
A statement on the survey issued
by the board says
The dismissal wage is the most
recent of the many plans for alleviat-
ing some of the more distressing con-
ditions surrounding enforced unem-
ployment. Although it is of so recent
origin as to have attained but linz
tied application in this country, the
National Industrial Conference Board,
recognizing the Importance of the
principle involved, has made care
full survey of the subject and will
sHofCiy issue report
Some Nations Force Payment
mo serious attempt has been made
thus far in the United States to make
the payment of dismissal wage COM
pulsory, but in some of the other
countries such legislation has been
enacted.
"A recent demonstration Of the dis
missal wage was furnished by large
industrial corporation A concentra-
tion of departments made it necessary
to close permanently two plants in
New England. In addition to giving
the employees months notice of the
closing of the plants, the company
paid dismissal wages totaling hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
"The plan provided that all en-
ployes with Is or more years of serv-
ice should receive one weeks pay for
each year of service, and similar pro-
vision was made for employees Of 45
years of age or older with 10 years
or more of service.
Average Payment $500
Actual dismissal wages paid to
employees of these plants ranged from
$104.61 to $2,088, the average pay
ment being approximately $500. Abort
one out of every eight employees quail
flied for dismissal wage.
''The practical result of this action,
as revealed by an investigation after
the plants were closed, was that in
stead of turning from their doors
1000 people with a grievance, bitter
and ready to listen sympathetically to
radical doctrine, this company by it's
liberal policy justified in the eyes Of
its former employees and those who
came into contact with them not only
the particular management but the
economic system under which it
operated"
