Rouah Edge on Coins.

Did you ever look at the edge or
a dime or quarter? They are differ
ent from pennies and nickels, for all
silver and gold coins have what are
called "milled" edges, while the edges
of pennies and nickels are smooth, the
Kansas City Star says. The reason
for this is that some dishonest persons
used to clip pieces OIL the coins, espe-
cially the gold ones, and then sell
these scraps Of precious metal when
they had saved a great many. Every
year the nation lost large sums OF
money this way and the thieves would
smooth the edges off so well that 1t
was hard To find out who was guilty
The best way of stopping this practice
was found to be to mill the edges
of the more valuable coins so that no
one could pare them without letting
it be seen at once.

gave little push. And you spat the
tooth out on the floor and bawlee With
rage and humiliation. No gas, no

MARCH WAS VERY
EYENTFUL MONTH
Despite Talk of War Coun-
try Is Prosperous and
Business Booms in
Every Lin.

An eventful month is closing.
The revolution in Russia, retreat
of the German forces on the
western front of the European
battlefield, the dramatic incidents
attending the closing session of
Congress, and the settlement OF
the tense situation between the
Railways and their employees,
have combined to make March a
memorial month.
Seemingly the great struggle
on the other side is nearing its
elimination. Lack of adequate
food supplies, the great loss of
men, and the enormous cost in
money, are factors combining to
force just such unlocked for
developments, toward ending
the war, as the Russian revolu-
ton.
In the midst of the striking
events that have recently oc-
Cured American business and
finance remain substantially un-
disturbed, indicating an econom-
ic poise which the country had
not heretofore attained.
The near future may bring a
severe test of our equanimity,
for the extra session of Congress,
which has been called. may re-
suit in declaration of war
against Germany. This is an
event so long regarded as a
probability, howe, er, that its in
huence on business and finance
can hardly be very great. The
fact that Congress is to have an
extra session, is notice to the
public mind to prepare for what
ever may happen.
The problem in the relations
between the railways and GER
tain EFF their employees must
serve to bring the entire railway
situation to the foreground.
Business remains good. Rail-
way earnings, bank clearings,
the steel trade and other ele-
ments of business activity con-
tinue to make a favorable show
ing.
The country's investment fund
is likely to be subjected to heavy
demands in the near future. Ex-
tensive borrowings for both
home and foreign account are
impending. Monroe County

on a charge sale slip are losses that
can never be recovered.
If the mistake is in your favor, the
customer resents the over-charge and
is likely to quit trading with you. IF
the error is an under-charge the custo-
mel will be most unlikely to say any
thing about it. So in either case you
are the loser.
The use Of a Burroughs for adding
cash and charge sales alone makes it
a paying investment. But bear in mind
hat it will also handle your other fig

of stock turnovers, daily sales by lines,

will handle the figures of your inven-

Of her purchases on the Burroughs
both know the amount is right.
He hands her a printed-slip showing
each item neatly printed as well as a
printed total. When she pays her bill
she knows that there are no errors
that the merchant is neither uncons-
ciously cheating her or himself.
Protection against Figure Errors
In her charge purchases there is the
same assurance of accuracy-the same
thorough protection against figure err
rors. The merchant uses the machine
to add the items on charge sale slips.
Every slip is verified before it goes
into the credit register.
Are you giving this service? Are you
using a Burroughs on your counter to
add chargeand cash sales, thereby pro-
tecting your customers against over
charges and yourself against loss? Or
