ut is through the cinema that the

"ShinpIasters."

One of the curious forms Of money
to which the United States govern
menti has resorted was the "shin-
plaster currency" These bits of paper
money were called "shinplasters" by
reason of their size and not because
Of the use to which they were put.
It was a strange condition of affairs
which led to their issue. The Civil
war had put a great strain on the
finances of the United States. Metallic
money grew scarce. In the first place
1t was exported and in the second
place 1t was boarded In. vast sums.
The government had issued "green-
backs" to take the place Of silver dol
lars and five and ten dollar gold pieces,
and as dimes, quarters and halves had
also grown scarce 1t was decided to
issue fractional paper currency. It
was seriously needed, because there
was great Inconvenience throughout
the country from a lack Of small
change. Merchants used postage
stamps, tokens Of various forms, their
own promises to pay" or script, and
even buttons were employed as small
change, to be later redeemed by the
merchant In goods. 1t was to meet
such conditions as these that the gov
eminent issued small paper notes in
denominations Of 1928 and so CENTS

WORK ALONG WRONG LINES
Writer Points Out Imperative Need
for Change In Present Legal and
Charity Systems.

A change in our legal system must
be made which will take account of
the complex life of the present, as
against the old-fashioned form Of liv-
ing, which brought with it temptation,
greed and jealousy. Persons who, on
account of wrong environment, have
stopped to illegitimate means to attain
their ends should be corrected, with
discipline If you please, but not with
brutal punishment. After correction
they should have the chance to make
an honest living; they should not be
ostracized as at present, so that there
is nothing else left for them to do but
to return to a life Of crime which
sooner or later reaches the depths.

thousands and thousands for their up

The creation Of beggars has never
been due to the exercise of kindness.
All beggars are made, more or less, by
the charity system. With charity

STANDING that we are all born to work
and enjoy our work in accordance
with our fitness for the work we are
called upon to do, there will be no
need Of charity, and crime and dis
ease will be lessened tremendously

TO RECLAIM DISMAL SWAMP
Enuineers Have Long Had Their Eyes
on Picturesque Wilderness Which
Can Be Made Valuable.

Dismal Swamp, which lies just south
of Norfolk, Va, partly in that state
and partly in North Carolina, is one
Of the most picturesque wildernesses
in the eastern United States. Although
lit may be reached from the busy port
| of Norfolk within Il few hours by a
boat which plies daily up and down a
small canal, the Dismal swamp re-
mains an unspoiled wilderness where
black bears and panthers still roam,
while the smaller creatures of the wild
iexist in abundance.
The thick jungles end Dottomless
Dogs at once offer perfect hiding places
for the wild things and obstacles to
the hunter which are often impasSa-
BILE. Then, too, the swamp is alive
with snakes-the deadly copperhead
and moccasfn being especially abun-
idant--and this fact alone detracts con-
siderably from the popularity of the
place as a pleasure resort.
/ It is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light of naturalists and scientists OF
lall kinds, who here find what they
most love-unspoiled, primitive nature.
! The Dismal Swamp has great posi-
Ibilities Of future usefulness. In the
first place, it contains some of the
deepest and richest deposits of peat
In the United States, and this fuel is
undoubtedly to be used in this coun-
try in the near future. Furthermore,
engineers say that the swamp can be
drained, and that it will then become
one of the richest bits Of farmland in
America. Indeed, one man has already
demonstrated this by draining few
hundred acres of the swamp and rails
ing phenomenal crops on it.-Chicago
Daily News.
