Some one has discovered that this
is the hundred and fftieth anniver-
sary of the establishment by Count
Bruhl of the rule for traffic: Keen
to the right" This rule was first
enforced on the bridge over the Elbe
at Dresden, whence the habit spread
throughout Germany. TO keep to
the right is the practice OF American
streets, pavements and two track
railway lines. In Great Britain one
keeps to the left, and the English
coachman will tell YOU that is the
better rule for driving. because the
driver sits on the whip side, and can
look down at the space between him
and the vehicle that passes him in
the opposite direction.

Coins Only Are Used.
Some Mistakes Made
in Solutions Already
Received.
Errors in Addition and
Subtraction Made.
Study Terms of
Question.

There may be more interesting prob
lens than the one published in The Sun
day Times, but the Problem Editor
doubts It. The prize is to be awarded
the person sending in the best solution.
There are a number Of possible solutions
TO the problem, and the best one will
receive the prize.
While it cannot be said that the prob
lem Is a simple one. it does not look
difficult for a person familiar with
United States currency and able &c add
or subtract. Scores of errors Of diff
ferent varieties were discovered in the
answers received this morning.
Bills Are Barred.
1t must be remembered that the man
had ten coins. but was unable to change
any other coin with any. all or COM
bination of them. Now, since coin IS
specified, why send In an answer with
"biIP' in It.? When the problem states
that the coiu was in common circula-
ton, why resurrect the 2 and scent
pieces and other obsolete coins?
Many persons have submitted answers
in which they listed coins that WOulu
change others included IN the ten enum-
Grated. This, OF course, throws out the
answer. Errors In simple addition ana
subtraction have also been made ana
Then some answers ignore the condition
that the man had three coins or the
same denomination left
The man borrowed three silver coins.
Some answers contained nickels anc
pennies borrowed. Four silver dollars
will change two s. bills, therefore, the
man did not have four 81 bills or silver
pieces. One dime and eight nickles was
included in an answer today. Five or
those nickles could be swapped for a
tWt-biu piece. The scent silver piece
being obsolete, solutions in which IL ap-
peared cannot win Ter, pennies CANNOT
be included IN the list because change
could - made for nickel or dime.
One Only made Change"
Many Of the contestants have the
man getting change for 5O-cent piece.
adding two quarters, thus obtained, TO
a quarter he already had and three
others he borrowed, making six quar-
tiers This is not correct, as the man
made change" Tor another person, but
TO one made change" for him.
He borrows three silver coins from
arcther man. and after making change
returns three coins to the person from
whom he borrowed Hundreds Of
riters had the man returning ~, $40,
s. $3.50, 81, and varying ar cunts 70
tie person from whom ne borrowed
Ialf a dollar, 70 cents, or mayhap a
little more than dollar. Partial pay
mCnt IS often heard OF, but paying ten,
twenty FIVE, or twice as much as was
borrowed Is absurd. and the answers
found a resting place on the incorrect
pile.
