When Leather Was Money.

Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing it for
this purpose before either gold, silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is full of references showing that
leather was used by the ancients as a
sort of circulating medium of ex-
change. 1t is said on good authority
that so late as during the reign OF
Louis MI. of France the country be-
came so impoverished and as "A con-
sequence money was so scarce that lit
tie pieces of leather with small silver
nail driven through each were in gen.
cral use as money. Some few speci'
mems OF this leather money are still in
existence.

This Is Red Cross Week.

Equally important with men and
money in war is medical service. The
sick and wounded must have expert
care and as much of it as possible; in
fact, no army ever was known to have
more medical attention than it needed
and some of the armies in the present
war are wofully short of such faeili-
ties.
The United States must Immediate
ly prepare to organize a great corps of
doctors and nurses, and to collect
great stores of hospital material. Our
army and navy hospital service has al
ready proved inadequate. and for the
fighting in Europe we shall depend to
a large degree upon the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is supported by vol
untary subscription The American
Red eros work already done in Eu-
rope must be multiplied thousand
times when our armies arrive upon
the scene. All the people must come
forward to support the cause. AS one
of the Red Cross officials has said,
the people have done we'll with the
Liberty Loan, which represents Anieri
cas- will: now they will do as well
with the Red Cross fund, which rep
resents the nations heart.
So this week has been set aside as
Red Cross week. By President Will
sons proclamation a gigantic cam
paign Of mercy will begin today, and
at least S1O6,O00,00O should be con
by the public before the close
of the week.
Whether his contribution is few
cents or fortune, every American is
urged to give something. 1t is for the
men out on the firing line in the mad
ness and misery of battle; some will
need months Of the most careful nurs-
ing before they can return home; and
some will never return home. Those
men must have the best that money
and skill can provide.
Every citizen should feel it a per-

can to the Red Cross. None can per-

rate of giving, except that each give
