coin not only the word Liberty" but
representation of Liberty shall be
shown.
In the new design Liberty is shown
as full length figure, front view, with
head turned toward the left, stepping
forward to the gateway of the coun-
try, and on the wall are inscribed the
words "In God We Trust" which words
also appear on the new half dollar
mentioned. The left arm of the fig
ure of Liberty is upraised, bearing
the shield in the attitude of protec-
tion, from which the covering is being
drawn. The right hand bears the olive
branch of peace. On the field above
the head is inscribed the word Lib

The reverse of this coin necessitates

lean eagle and is here shown in full
flight with wings extended, sweeping
across the coin. Inscription UNITED
States Of America" and "E Pluribus
Unum," and Quarter Dollar" below.
Connecting the lettering above on the
outer circle are olive branches with
ribbon that is stirred by the breeze as
the bird flies.
The design of the dime, owing to the
smallness of the coin, has been held
quite simple. The diverse shows a
head of Liberty with winged cap. The
head is firm and simple in form, the
profile forceful.
The reverse shows a design of the
bundle of rods, with battle ak, known
as "fasces," and symbolical of Unity,
wherein lies the nations strength. Sur
rounding the fasces is full foliaged
branch of olive, symbolical of peace.
For the first time the words 'In God
We Trust" are to appear on the dime.

SILVER COINS TO
BEAR new DESIGNS
Uncle Sam Will Make Changes in
Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars
and Dimes.
TO DROP old STYLES SOON
Coinage Of Models in Use For the Past
Quarter of Century Will Be Dis
continued Within the Next
Year.

Comparatively few more half dol
lars, quarter dollars and dimes bear
ing the present designs of these coins
are to be put into circulation by Uncle
Sam. Coinage of these designs will be
discontinued within year. In the
meantime coins of these denominations
bearing new designs will begin to make
their appearance and many of them
probably will be in circulation within
the next few months.
This means the passing of designs
which have been in use for quarter
of a century, as under the laws gov
erning the coinage of the United
States, designs and devices on any
coins may not be changed within 20
years after their adoption. The EN-
blems now in use on the half dollar,
quarter dollar and dime were adopted
In 1891.
In preparing to adopt new designs
several sculptors were commissioned
to submit sets of sketch models. From
more than so of these models Secre-
tary McAdoo and Director of the Mint
Woolley selected three sets. In this
radical departure has been made, as
heretofore the diverse side of the half
dollar, quarter and dime have always
carried the same design, an emblem
symbolic of Liberty, and the reverse
of the half dollar and quarter dollar
an eagle of the same design. Only the
reverse of the dime has been differ
ent.
Half Dollar Not Popular.
Director Woolley suggested varying
the designs in order that the half dol
lar might be given more individuality
and thus restore its waning popularity.
Strange to say, it has practically fallen
into disuse.
The design of the half dollar bears
full length figure of Liberty the folds
Of the Stars and Stripes flying to the
breezes as a background, progressing
in full stride toward the dawn of a
new day, carrying branches of laurel
and oak, symbolical of civil and mill
tary glory. The hand of the figure is
outstretched in bestowal of the spirit
of Liberty.
The reverse of the half dollar shows
an eagle, perched high upon noun
tain crag, his wing unfOlded, fearless
in spirit and conscious of his power.
Springing from rift in the rock Is
sapling of mountain pine, symbolical
of America.
The design of the twenty-five cent
piece is intended to typify, in meas
ure, the awakening interest of the
country to its own protection. The law

and which, he claims, will make 1t pos

colored boys and girls have so few
avenues of employment open to them
for earning an independent living,
makes it easier for employers to de-
mand high standard of efficiency,
for there are large numbers to choose
from.
The continuation schools, especially
those for the colored children, have
been the means of encouraging many
children to remain in school. Where
pupils fail in the last term, with few
exceptions they enter the summer
school and to prepare for their grade
in September, and in many instances
they are successful. where on the 9TH

the same thing being true of both high
school and grammar pupils.
There was a notable reduction in
the age of the pupils graduating from
the grammar schools this year, fact
that is significant for several reasons.
The compulsory educational laws of
the state do not apply to children un-
der seven years, and in too many in
stances parents do not realize it to
their own interest and the child's to
start first grade children to school mt
five and a half where there is room
for them, and at six by all means. In
many cases the irregularity of attend
ance on the part of these pupils is one
of the problems of firSt-grade teach

MORE PAINT MADE IN U. S.
Output Increases 1863 Per Cent In
Five Years, Although Number Of
Factories Shows Decrease,

There were fewer paint and varnish
manufacturing plants in the United
States in 1914 than there were five
years before, but. the value of the out
put of the smaller number of plants
was l6.9 per cent greater than the
value of the output in 1909, according
to Uncle Sam. A report of the CEN
sus bureau on the industry shows that
there were S55 establishments engaged
In the manufacture of paints and var
nishes in 1914, and that the total prod
ucts of these plants for the year were
valued at $149,O49,S 500.
At the census of 1909 there were re-
ported 1853 establishments, with prod
ucts valued at $17,749944

Out of the stories that struggled
and thirst-burst tongues comes a lit
tie interlude, told with all the insou-
Glance of raconteur, of Negro
trooper who paused in the trek
to pour bit of water on the
tongue of horse he knew was dying.
Not that the act would help the horse,
and certainly not that it would help
the trooper in his hike toward safety.
But the record says the trooper saw
in the eyes of the horse that look that
animals give and the inference is that
he went on, inspired, to do even bet
ter things, If that be possible. There
is no purpose in this comment to hint
that better things than that might be
in the days work. If prompt answer
were demanded it might be said bet
ter things were not in the course of
human events. There is, however, a
reminder of the days of 1898, which
these days make ever present, light
on the Negro troop character that
makes understandable the men who
go forward singing ragtime as an an
swer to that other chorus the machine
guns sing. The other story has to
do with the heroic Lawton, and it is
a story he told with that appreciation
only such as he could show. The
general saw one Negro soldier helping
on his shoulder another, injured, along
the march. The stout one carried the
guns and the accoutrements of both
in addition to the wounded brother.
but he carried also dog that was once
the mascot of the company and the
wounded brothers particular pet.
When the general asked why the SOL
dier should burden himself with the
animal, the soldier answered: "Why
the poor things tired" Strange folks,
these soldiers of the Negro troop. They
love their horses and their dogs to an
unconsciOnable degree, and yet, as Cap
tain Morey has recorded, they fight
like hell"

The trustees of the Tuskegee insti-
tute certainly made no mistake in the
selection of Maj. Robert r. Motion as
principal to succeed the late Doctor
Washington. Major Motion is a man
of rare ability and intelligence, and
his gift of organization and admins
tration was amply tested by 25 years
work at Hampton. In this regard, it
may be said with entire respect to the
memory of Doctor Washington, he is
even more completely qualified than
his predecessor. No one familiar with
his achievement at Hampton can fail
to recognize his sound judgment, his
tact and resourcefulness, his influence
over the pupils, and his high concep-
ton of the large aims of Hampton,
which are in substance those of Tus-
kegee as well. We should say that he
is now the strongest leader of his race
an better equipped than any other to
guide it in the right path.
He has one peculiar advantage. He
Is a full-blood Negro, and the record
of his life is in itself source of
encouragement and inspiration to the
humblest of his race. The following
extract from an address made at
Hampton in 1912 shows the goal to-
The Colorado statesman., 1916-08-12

ward which he strives, and which he
would set for Tuskegee:
whatever question there may be
about the white mans part in the situ-
alton, there is no doubt about ours.
Don't let us fool ourselves, but keep
in mind the fact that the man who
owns his own home and cultivates his
land and lives n decent, self-respect-
ing useful life, is no problem any,
where. We talk about the color line
You know and know that the black
est man in Alabama or Mississippi, or
Africa, or anywhere else, who puts
the same amount of skill and energy
into his farming, gets as large returns
for his labor as the whitest Anglo
Saxon. 1 believe that, unless
democracy is n failure and Chris
tianity is mockery, it is entirely feas-
ible and practicable for the black
and white races of America to
develop side by side, in peace, in har-
mony, and in mutual helpfulness each
toward the other, living together as
brothers in Christ without being
brothers in law each making its own
contribution to the wealth and culture
of our beloved country."-New York
Times.

Iowa Coal output Grows.

The coal production of Iowa in 1915,
according to figures made public by the
United States geological survey and the
geological survey of Iowa, amounted to
1,614,143 short tons, valued at $13,577,-
COS, an increase of 1922 tons, and
$21353S In value. 1t was exceeded
in only two previous years, 1909 and
1910.

graphic record of the vote is presented
to the clerk.
Representative Howard of Georgia
has introduced bill apprOpriating
$125,OOO for the installation of the ma
chine, but 1t is regarded as unlikely
that the house will buy the device. The
reason for this, it is said, is that the
members, having 40 minutes in which
to reach the floor when a roll call is
ordered, are not compelled now to
remain on the floor, or even at the cap
ital, as they can reach the house from
any part of the city in time to vote If
a roll call is ordered. Advocates of
the present system claim that only a
very few of the congressmans duties
are concerned with transactions ON the
floor, and that much of his time is
taken up with attending to business
of his constituents either in his office
or in the various government depart
ments. Consequently many congress-
men are rarely seen on the floor of
the house, except when a roll call is
being taken.
