With the founding of this institution

and when Governor Morris attempted
to harmonic all the moneys of the
states he took the dollar as a standard.
The plans of Morris were later amend
ed by jefferson, who proposed to strike
four coins upon the basis of the Span
ish milled dollar-a gold piece of the
value Of $40, a dollar in silver, a tenth
of a dollar in silver, and a hundredth
of a dollar in copper.
Although America borrowed the dol
lar from Spain, in origin it was Ger
man, the word dollar being the Eng
lish form of the German "thaler." 1t
was nearly four centuries ago-in 1919
that Count Schlick of Bohemia be-
gan to issue silver coins weighing one
ounce each. These were minted at
Jochimsthal, in Bohemia, and thus be-
came known as Joachimsthalers, later
shortened to thalers. In the six
teenth century they become common
in England "dalers" or dollars"

ALFALFA LUNCHEON SERVED
TO KENTUCKY FARMERS

Alfalfa was served to Kentucky
farmers in the form of hot biscuits,
doughnuts, cake, and candy, at a
luncheon during the recent annual
farmers week exhibition of the Agri-
cultural college at the state university,
as told in the July Popular Mechanics
magazine. The progressive young wo-
men of the domestic Science depart
ment took care Of the cookery and
convinced their farmer guests that
very palatable products may be OBJ
tanned for the table from their alfalfa
crops. The flour of alfalfa is of a
creamy tint before cooking and a light
green afterward, and while pea-green
biscuits may not at first appeal to the
average housewife, the flavor is re-
garded by many as rich and delicious.
Food requirements may easily result
in greatly increased use of alfalfa for
flour in the near future. The recipes
used in cooking it are about the same
as those for wheat flour. Alfalfa
candy is made from a glucose pressed
from the stalk.

her divorced husband, John Longer
De Saulles, when he declined to per-
nit their five-year-old son to return
to her, will not be placed on trial
for at least two months. according
to District Attorney Charles r.
Weeks. Mr.. Weeks said to-day that
the case would have to await its
turn and that he did not plan TO
ask that it be advanced on the
docket. There are two other MUIR
der cases on the docket to be tried
ahead of Mrs. De Saulles, which it
was said would mean her case
would not come up before the Oc-
tober term of court.
At the jail to-day Mrs. De Saulles'
condition was said to have improved
somewhat the last day or two. DR..
Guy F. Cleghorn, the Jail physician,
visited her to-day and said her con-
dition was encouraging" This was
attributed to the brief visit her little
son was permitted to have with her
last week and to the fact that she
expected a second visit this after
noon.
