COMPARING VALUE
 OF AMERICAN COINS
Columbus Dispatch)


 How much is franc? A ruble? A mark? To be well posted man should be familiar with the money in circulation in foreign lands. And II the man is of military age or in cllnation there is no telling how soon he may be called upon to exchange his perfectly good American dollars for the medium of circulation in France, England, Russia, Germany or other European countries.
 Of course, values are changing almost daily, as regards the exchange of foreign money for Uncle Sam's dollars, but under ordinary condi- tions it can be figured that in Cor many the mark is worth 23.S cents in United States money. The German thaler is equal to three marks, and the krone Ga gold piece equal to ten marks. In England the sovereign. (gold) is worth $4.S665, a pound sterl- ing; the penny equals two of our cents, the crown $1.21 and the shilling "A cents.
 It is interesting to note that the franc of France (worth 19.3 cents) is also the unit of currency in Bel gium and Switzerland, and that it is equal to the peseta of Spain. and lra of Italy, the drachma of Greece, the leu of Romania, the dinar of Serbia and the bolivar of Venezuela The Russian ruble, normally is worth 51.5 cents, the plaster of Turkey A cents. the Japanese yen 49.S cents. the Mexico peso (silver) 49.S cents and the Chinese tael 75 cents to S3 cents. And there's no wonder that Chinese monee" is tossed about so carelessly, for the copper cash (China's monetary unit) is worth a United States dollar when you have 1,750 of them.
 In British East India "pie" (the popular coin) is cheap. An American penny buys four.

Social Service Club
 Active in Red Cross.

The Social Service club. had a splendid meeting yesterday afternoon at the manse of the First Presbyter- ian church, with Misses Eleanor Nunn, and Ernestine and lIunice Nor ris hostesses. The regular program was despensed with, and six dozen bandages were made for the surgical dressing room of the Red Cross.
 It was decided at this meeting that all future meetings would be held in the parlors of the church, togeth- CT with the surgical dressing room of the local Red Cross, which is soon to be moved to that place. h. stead of having any regular club work, the members will make clothes for the little Belgian refugee child ren. This move should be highly commended, as it shows a spirit of true love and patriotism. This So- cial Service club, made uD of the young ladies of the First Presby- terian church, have always gone "ov- CT the top' in any movement which they have undertaken, and are do- ing a real service for their country as we'll as community.

Story Hour at Library.

Library.
 Yesterday was red letter day at the Public library story hour-not only in attendance, but in interest and enthusiasm shown by the scores of children who crowded every avail able nook and corner in the bulld- ing.
 Mrs. l.. E. Bassett talked to the younger tots and held their almost breatnless attention with two stor- ies of her own-original if you please. and so full or humor and the truest touches of . tenderness and pathos that the kiddies were delight ed.
 Miss Manners, who with her broth CT. Guy Manners, the famous English poet and soldier, have been spending a few days in the city, talked to the older children, giving them. a graphic recital of home life in France and England, and some glimpses of war conditions which were truly revel- ations to the children. Miss Man ners is a young woman of charming personality, and the ladies of the Library association were indeed for- tunate in having so dist!ngulshed an entertainer for the little folks.
