"Shinpla sters.n

One of the curious forms Of money
to which the United States govern
nent has resorted was the "shin-
plaster currency" These bits of paper
money We're called "shinplasters'' by
reason of their size and not because
OF the use to which they were put.
1t was 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
it was exported and in the second
place it 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 it was decided to
issue fractional paper currency. II
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 10, % and SO cents.

In "Little Old New York;

If a certain actor had accompanied
a party Of round-the-towners the 9TH
er night he would have been either
thrilled or embarrassed, says New
York Sun. After the theater the par
ty went to the Waldorf roof and saw
one Of the actors former wives the
center Of gay, laughing party. Ihe
next stop was at the Astor roof where
there was another former wife of the
same actor dining with a handsome
young gallant who danced divinely
and at the last stop on the Majestic
roof was the third former wife giving
a dinner to several women and two
French army officers. It was hard to
tell which was the most beautiful.
They all seemed happy. 1t is remind
full of another actor who went to an.
other theater than his own to see a
play. He was seated next to a former
wife and her husband. They all chat
ted pleasantly together and later
together. A strange town

The lowing herd wound slowly DER
the lea. The day had been a delight
full one for walking and as we swung
along in our tweeds and hobnail shoes,
a heavy stick in our hand, we drank
deep from natures fount, learning
many things. AS the mild-eyed cows
made their leisurely way down the
road and we stood aside to watch
them pass, the old lines ran through
our mind, vaguely yet with new APP
propriateness. 1t never before had oc-
Cured to us that we had only the
loosest conception Of what lea was,
and now we resolved to find out.
Retracing our steps, we followed
the lowing herd to pleasant farm
stead with a windmill, silo, and a
large barn inscribed, "Grade A Pas
teurized Dairy" where we found the
Grade A pasteurized dairyman, by
name Ole Yensen. "Are these" we
asked, "your Grade A pasteurized

one in the bunch"
"And where is the lea DER which

Mr.. Yensen regarded US with sus-

TO RECLAIM DISMAL SWAMP
Engineers 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
1t may be reached from the busy port
of Norfolk within few hours by q
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
exist In abundance.
The thick jungles and DottOmless
bogs 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 moccasin being especially album
dant-and this fact alone detracts con-
siderably from the popularity of the
place as q pleasure resort.
It is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light of naturalists and scientists of
all kinds, who here find what they
most love-unspoiled, primitive nature.
The Dismal Swamp has great posi-
bilities 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

American Invented Electric Fan.

Michael Faraday devised the cleo
tro-magnetic rotation apparatus in the
year 1922. Barlow in 1923 produced
the rotation Of star wheel placed In
the field of strong magnet.
These devices were very crude and
simple, however, and developed in.
finitesimal power. Undoubtedly the
first electric motor employing mag.
nets wound with many turns Of wire,
and also comprising a motor which util.
lied both permanent steel magnets and
electromagnetic, was that perfected by
Prof. Joseph Henry of Princeton uni.
versity, in the year 1881. Henry pro.
duced reciprocating motion as well as
the rotary motion by electromagnetic
means.
Henry's motor, according to Elec.

tor.

Since the United War Work

permit us to thank you for the
valuable assistance you and your

While results were not as great
as we had hoped for, nor the
cause deserved, it was not be-
cause Of lack of cooperation of
the newspapers.
AS newspapermen we realize
that newspapers are expected to
contribute more of their talent

proud that always the news
papers have proved their patri-
otism by meeting every call.
We feel that but for the aid
of the papers, the United War
