as though l really knew you"
And, of course we said, I'VE do
know you, for there is no better way
to find out everything about person
than to see them on the screen. Face

known intuition~but there is no get
ting away from the camera.
therefore, we know that YOU are
very young, that you have blue eyes
and dark reddish brown hair. mat you
have quiet, gentle manner and a
temper; that sou are very fond Of
dress, that you are modest, almost
prudish sometimes, and that you nave

did you know il ."
well, you know, we knew you were
very young, because we have watched
your profile. Your hair and ewes are
the sort that always go with your tenn

because you never could simulate it so
perfectly unless you knew how il was
done. You always are so careful in all
the tiny details of dress, like shoes and
stockings and bags and brooches, shat
we knew you loved clothes, and we
could tell by the way you formed your
words on the screen that your voice
was pleasing"
"And what made you think I was
modest? Hew could you know that ?"
Because we once saw you in pict-
ure which showed scene from
Twelfth Night and you didn't seem to
enjoy wearing the costume. You kept
your cloak around you most Of the
time"
Fancy your noticing that! But it Is
true" said Miss Phillips, laughing

American Coins at Premium

The coins of the United States were
never so valuable internationally as
they are to-day. 1t may appear a
strange anomaly to the layman's mind
that at the time when our own high
prices have forced down the purchas-
ing value of dollar to SIS cents we find
it "at it's highest point" in international
exchange. Our gold coinage is divided
into six denominations. The dollar con-
tains 1922 grains Of fine gold, the
quarter eagle (S2.50) 5805 grains, the
80 coin 69.66 grains, the half eagle
$3.50 116.10 grains, the eagle $50
2322 grains and the double eagle
($2o) 464.40 grains Of fine gold. The
silver coinage is divided into dollars,
half dollars, quarters and dimes. The

to De called the buffalo, or "jit," as it
is made up of rs per cent copper and
20 per cent nickel. The 1-cent piece is
perfectly honest. containing 95 per cent
copper, with the rest in tin and zinc
The paper currency consists of United
States notes, Treasury notes of 1880,
Fedora! Reserve notes, national bank
notes, gold and silver certificates Up
to the last revised report of July /,
1915, there was total circulation of
tNeSe OlNerent varieties OF paper
money of 81 $50, 215, 100 In coin and
bullion in the Treasury there was a
grand total of s2,73e ,241, OFT, or, in
other words, circulation at the rate of
$35.44 per capita. The question is
often asked, what is legal tender ?"
Gold coin is legal tender according to
its weight. Gold certificates are not
legal tender. Standard silver dollars
are legal tender. but silver certificates
are not legal tender. The Treasury
notes of July Ia, 1890, are legal tender:
so are also United States notes, ex-
cept for duties, imports and interest on
public debts. The Federal Reserve
notes are not legal tender, nor are the
national bank notes. Foreign coins are
never legal tender. The nickels and
cents are legal tender only to the ex-
tent of 20 cents. But in common usage
any. government note is commercial

Up to about three years ago we were
one of those persons who announced OH
all occasions and with a virtuous air
we never have seen motion picturei"
And then party Of motorists
motored over US one day! Not that We
connect the two circumstan for we
do not believe in such speedy retribu-
ton. But if we never had been mo.
tored over we never should have
known about motion pictures and we
never should have seen Dorothy Phil
lips.
On the day that certain Mr.. Meyer
was exceeding the speed limit and we
were not, we were on our way to the
Horse Show. The next thing we re-
member we were on our way to the hos
pltal, and we heard some one who sat
IN one end of the ambulance say, rs she
dead? :" And, being the person most
concerned, we answered, "No, she
isn't"
Well, in six months or so we were
able to get out, but only as far as the
corner. and there stood Ono, you are
wrong) a small motion picture theatre.
SO one day we went in to rest, and the
picture was small affair, about a girl
who had been imprisoned by mistake. so
that 1t had warned her nature,
It was our first picture and we were
ehtfanced with 1t, so as soon as il was
over we went out to the box Office and
SAID: who is the girl who does such
wonderful work in that picture you
have inside ?"
And the man said Dorothy Pbillins y
Of course, we never had heard of her
MT, but we went back the next day
and the next, and then We became in
fected with a complaint much less
easily cured than broken bones-we be-
came movie fan.
And so in the course of time we
were able to hobble to the Office. and
when they said: "WiN you write about
"OtoS anu NV SSs again we SdlQ &C.
cidedly: "Jamais encore. We are
going to write about motion pictures. -
What do you know about motion pict-
ures?" said Haywood Broun.
Everything" we answered firmly.
I'VE have seen at least one picture a
day for the last six months" And so
it was settled, and Dorothy Phillips
was the cause of it all. If we had hap
pened to see some one we didn't like
that first day we never should have
gone back again.
And so we continued to see Miss
Phillips in pictures, and the more we
saw of her the better acquainted we
became, and to each succeeding pub
licity director who came to Universal
we would say: "If Miss Phillips ever
ca&nes East be sure to let US know, SO
we can see her"
So one day Harrington Baker, the
current p. a., called US on the tele-
phone and said: Miss Phillips is at
the Knickerbocker and wants you to
have luncheon with her. Ask for Mrs.
Alien Holubar"
We met like old friends. "You are

The close up began with the villain

against four kings and an ace.

And so-with the winds of those
early daylight studios tapping the
heroine's 1910 skirt against the sitting
room table-she announces that she is
going to bank the money in the name
Of Mrs. Jack Morgan" And Mr.. Hart

the heroine would refuse the money

a church, presided over by the now
sanctimonious- villain and given over to
sermons attacking Bill Hart. As for
the finish, along about the middle of
the fifth reel Hart would save the
heroine again at the point Of d
