an even more somber color. the natives

black for the frocks to be sported on

is by all odds the most popular, with
prim white collars and cuffs. just
enough contrast to set of the whole
suit most impressively.
The choice shown in Jersey is but a
reflection Of the same shade that Is
most seen at the Municipal bathlng
beach. Regular attendants mere Will as

MEXICAN MONEY IS

The Bills Have Very Little Value

None Here.

The latest fad among high Govern

various revolutionary vintnTes OF the
last few years. Bills and coins of curl

tions. The bills have very little value
In Mexico and none whatever here.
Attorney General Gregory Is one OF
the faddists. He has some strikingly
original 81 and 81 coins which Zapata

which Is said to have become chronic
These coins are said to be Of gold and
silver mixed. but the Attorney General
Is very skeptical about the yellow In
grcdient. At any rate. they are the first
of their kind ever issued by any gov
eminent and are particularly priced.
There are 81 bills galore In Washing

new revolution. The mints OF Mexico
have been working overtime One day
Carranza enters Mexico City and turns
out his wherewithal. daring anybody
to spend any other kind. The next day
Villa goes In and makes his. Then
Zapata follows suit.
Some Of the notes were issued by Car
rama and Villa when they were part

All these notes have been counterfeited
over and over again. but what's the
use? CarraiiZa shoots all who spend
genuine Villa money. and the latter re-
turns the compliment.
