SCULPTOR SUSTAINED BY
PRECEDENT FOR HALLMARK
Custom of Nation Followed in Putting
Initials of Designers on the
New Lincoln Penny

NEW YORK, Aug. classification
for placing of Sculptor Victor D. Bren-
ner's initials on the new Lincoln penny
is found by the sub-treasury officials
here in the fact that many coins of
the United States bear their designers S
initials. One man. Christian Gobrecht,
placed his whole name on a silver dol
lar he designed in 1886.
On every half dollar, quarter and
dime is minted the tiny letter "B" un-
der the bust of liberty. This stands for
the chief engraver of the mint at
Philadelphia, Charles Barber, who exc
cuted all the designs which first ap-
peared for circulation in 1892. The sill
yer dollars minted between 1878 and
1904 bore the initials of their designer,
George L. Morgan, once on each side.
The $5 and $40 gold coins bear the
initials of Pala L. Pratt. the Boston
artist who designed them. And most
of the other coins bear the designers
initials.
Mr.. Brenner declared that President
Roosevelt and Secretary of the Treas
ury George B. Cortelyou agreed to per-
init his whole name to be used on the
Lincoln penny and he is much disap-
pointed that only his initials were used.

SAYS STUDY IN ART
HERE IS INCREASING
H. T. BAILEY OUTLINES ITS
PRESENT STATUS
Declares This Feature of Education Is
Vital UpbuiIding of American
Civilization in Finest
Form

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Art in
struction in the United States which
is in it's infancy, having less than forty
years standing in American education,
is wide spread and rapidly increasing,
according to Henry L. Bailey OF Mas
sachuetts, representative of the United
States at the third International Con-
eress for the advancement of drawing
and art teaching at London last Aug
uSt.
The results of an inquiry mainly
statistical in character, made by the
United States bureau of education
touching instruction in the fine arts
and in application of art to handicraft
in this country, have been digested
by Mr. Bailey and a monograph pre-
pared by him on the subject, has just
been made public by Secretary Ball
niger of the department of the in
terror.
From incomplete statistics, a rough
estimate of the annual expenditure for
art instruction in the United States
is $11,565, ,241. Only in part is the in
terest of the people in the United
States in the subject of art instruc-
ton measured by these figures.
Mr.. Bailey declares that the history
of art instruction in France, Germany
and England furnishes ample data for
predicting that, in the near future,
the relation of art to industries and
to national welfare will be so keenly
appreciated by all our people that
they will make more liberal appropria-
tions to all effective agencies for fur
nishing art instructions.
Commissioner of Education Brown,
says that the subject is of the utmost
importance, not only to the upbuild
ing of American civilization in one of
it's finest forms but also to the pro-
gress of many of those industries which
underlie our civilization.
Art instruction is promoted in the
United States through the cooperation
of many agencies. chiefly public
schools, art schools, special evening
schools, art education publications, art
instruction in normal schools and col
leges and universities, summer schools.
handicraft societies, public libraries,
lecture courses and local exhibitions.
The federal government makes nc
appropriations whatever for art in
struction. Only twelve state require
drawing as a part of the course of
study in the public schools. 1t is ap-
proved by the state authorities and
promoted by means of instruction in
state normal schools in thirty-one 9TH
ers making total of forty three states
interested in the subject
Massachusetts, and New York en-
ploy state supervisors of art instruc-
tion and Massachusetts has a state nor
NAL art school.

OMAHA CIGAR DEALER
TELLS A GOOD STORY
Urged by Friends, He Made an Investment
That Brought Gratifying Results

However. a number of friends urged
me to try Cooper's New Discovery. and
they were so persistent that 1 finally
took new hope and got bottle of
the Cooper medicine. After I had be-
gun to take 1t 1 wondered why I had
not taken it long ago. It's effect was
marvelous-brought me right out. re-
gained my appetite, took on new

different man altogether. I would not
have believed there was a medicine on
earth that could do so much in so short
a time.

regarding an experience that recently
came to him:
After a most remarkable experience
with the Cooper remedies, L cannot re-
frain from saying that anyone who Is
suffering in any way from stomach
trouble, and who does not give TINS
Cooper medicine a trial is passing up
a golden opportunity for restoration to
good health.
For three years was troubled with
my stomach, and what little l dld eat
gave me distress. Nothing tasted right.
1 felt weak and bad nearly all the
time. was nervous and allowed mat
ters of small Importance to worry me.
I treated with two different physicians,
