The invention OF coinage Is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the bank
ers Of Halicarnassos and adjacent
Asia Minor Greek colonies, who to-
ward the end OF the eighth century
b. G. began stamping the small gold
and electron ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
a mark OF some sort intended to guar
antce the weight lid purity of the
metal. Such ingots very soon assumed
a round and more regular shape, which
we find already In the older silver
coins from Aegina, nearly contemporary
with the Asia Minor beans"
Curious to say. none Of the surround
Ing peoples with whom the Aslatic and
European Greeks were In constant
communication, political or CONNER
cial. took up the wonderful invention
which at present seems to us of such
obvious necessity that we scarcely
realize how the civilized world of old
can ever have got on without II. As n
matter OF fact. however. neither the
PhocnIcians. with their practical COM
merclal sense. nor the Lydians nor the
Persians. who claimed the supremacy
over the very cities where the new
currency was initiated, nor, of course.
the Egyptians, ever had coinage till the
conquests of Alexander disseminated
the Greek civilization all through the
eastern world.
The Romans came to know of 1t
through the Greek cities In Sicily and
Magma Graecia and began striking sill.

SHORTCAKES ARE
NOW POPULAR

With home grown strawberries in
the market the shortcake is the pop
ular dessert this week. Green peas
from California are now of price to
put them within the reach of small
families and give a decidedly spring
taste to the meal. Young turnips,
creamed or mashed, offer variety.
Strawberries and cream was the
acme of good living in the mind of the
author of the old fairy poem of Cold
locks" whose happy future was to
sew a fine seam" and "eat strawber-
ries and cream" and there are modern
men, not poets, who still agree.
For the young housewife who is
making her first shortcake and is
anxious that it compare favorably
with mothers" this rule will be of
service: cups flour, teaspoons
baking powder, u teaspoon salt, 2
teaspoons sugar, u cup milk, u cup
of butter. Pat, roll out and bake
~ minutes in hot oven in buttered
Washington pie or round layer cake
tins. Split and spread with butter.
Sweeten strawberries to taste, place
on back of range until warmed and
then crush slightly, put between and
on top of shortcakes. Cover top with
cream sauce.
