Being all out of sorts, the printer had | to send the menu to the linotyper. (Pare- |: graph written exclusively for printers.) — Times-Union. Before the invention of the linotype, old time typos recall the ag- gravation of being all out of sorts. Some 70 years ago an English noble- woman opened a fund for wounded Turkish soldiers and a reporter, visiting the lady’s home, asked the hall-porter how. the fund was getting atong? © “Not very well,” answered tlie porter. “There's a terrible lot of Christian feeling about in the coan- Remember that the perfect job never existed exeept in the mind of an imperfect man. If you think your job can’t be im- proved upon, you are inoculated with a chroaie ailment of medioere workers. For a cure, try hard work, straight thinking, absolute loyalty to your employer, and an unpretentious faith in-yourself. These at- tributes are the surest form of job insur- ance, t half. the! talk. with: his-chie#, ait hts sidered a GREAT BY ANY NAME From time to time there recurs the old argument concerning the spelling of the name of Kosciusco, the great Polish gen- |° eral who gave his services to Washington in the Revolution and later fought so val- iantly for his native land. When a town in Mississippi was nam- ed for him years ago, the post office de- partment spelled the name as it appears in |, the foregoing paragraph. But on a statue. to his memory erected near the White | House in Washington, the name is spelled “Kusciuszko,” a “z’” being added. When a special postage stamp was issued in ‘com- memor&tion of the 100th anniversary of his death, the postal authorities adhered to | the simpler form. Ag a matter of fact, it is difficult to |, determine the correct spelling of many ‘names translated from a foreign language, In the case of the distinguished Pole under consideration, three different spellings are approved by reputable authorities. In ad- | dition to the two already mentioned, the Encyclopedia Britannica gives as an alter- | native, the spelling “Koscziusko.” After all, the greatness of the man , does not depend upon the spelling of his name. The great Polish engineer, general and statesman would be ‘remémbered un- ‘der any name as a true and couragedus friend of human liberty... The famous line in Campbell’s poem, “And freedom shriek- ed when Kosciusko fell,” has justification, as rhetoric, but hardly as facts +» While Kosciusko was several . times wounded in battle, he was living peaceful, | ly as a farmer in Switzerland when his -| death was caused by an accidental fall from his horse. 4 A FAMOUS QUILT In_ the Alabama department of archives and’ history in Montgomery is one of the most famous quilts in the world, | which finds there its permarent resting | __ i place after many wanderings. Tt is the quilt made by Confederate women during the Civil War to. be auc- tioned for the benefit of the fund for the building of the warship Alabama, which cpused the Federals a lot of trouble be- fore she was finally sunk on June 19, 1864, by the Kearsarge,. off Cherbourg, France, After the quilt was made it was put up at auction, and time and again the lucky bidder would ‘donate it to the cause, ‘to be auctioned again. Thus it passed through many hands, and from. it was realized much of the money for the pur- chase’ of the ship. It finally: came into the | possession of the family of Mrs. Mary Hutchinson Owens, who presented it to the state as a memento of the Lost Cause. The Alabama was commanded by the intrepid Rafael Semmes; and during her | eventful career of two years-captured one Federal steamer and no less than 67 sail- ing vessels, besides causing the transfer of 848 Federal ships to the British flag. Her destruction by the Kearsarge, commanded by Captain Winslow, was a great relief to . the Federals. he Alabama went to the bottom of the sea, the Kearsarge was destroyed*léng hr yy being wrecked on a+ Carribbean ¥894, but the pe 's quilt, wena by loving hands in what they Batt sacred cause, 1s preserved for posterity in the cradle of the Confederacy. BIG NEWS OF 1933 » Every year furnishes a lot of big news, and 1933 was no exception. Following an annual custom, managing editors of the | large news services have reviewed the grist } which went through the mill, and picked what they consider the 10. biggest stories of the year. All agreed upon the first five, which they listed in the following order: 1. Repeal of prohibition. 2. Recognition of Russia. 3. The banking holiday. 4. Wreck of the dirigible Akron. 5. * Attempt to assassinate Franklin D, Roosevelt, resulting in the death of Mayor Cermak of Chicago, Others mentioned included the death of former President Coolidge; the: Califor- nia earthquake; Wiley Post’s around the world flight; Tammany’s defeat; the Sar. Jose lynehings, and Colonel and Mrs. Lind: bergh’s four-continent flight. The greatest volume of news was made ! by stories concerning President Roosevelt’s recovery program. Next to the president, the mest publicized individual was Gen- erat Johnson, NRA administrator, TAE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Cross-word Puzzle ee ee ACROSS 1. Diminished 7.
