War Coinage In Germany.

Due to metal shortage Germany has
Instituted iron coinage. The fraction
al mark coins are no longer of copper
and nickel, but are forgings Of Sic.
mens-NIartin steel. The coinage Of
copper was discontinued in 1917. Alu.
.minum had been coined to small ex-
tent before the war; the smallest
coins, one and two pfennig pieces, are
now made of aluminium, which is more
attacked by ordinary water, soda,
salts, etc, than by distilled water.
Zinc coins have recently been intro
duced. Zinc coins had been used In
French Indo-C China; they are again
more apt to corrode, especially when
impure with lead, cadmium and iron,
in distilled water than in ordinary wa
ter; they turn yellow-brown, but as
sumo a pleasant gray tint in soda and
salt. On the whole, the cheapest Iron
coins have answered best. Engineer

REPARTEE THAT HAD STING

nights? Don't you need shave often

SUCCESS DUE
TO UNCLE sam
Mrs. p. H. Sheridan Tells Review How
She Happened to Start in Day.
Old Chick Business
NEEDED MONEY 70. BUY BONDS
Idea Of Selling Chickens Presented
Because of Need of Money With
Which to Buy Liberty Bonds

: Among the many Pleasant callers at
this office during the week was Mrs.
p. H. Sheridan, OF Vail. Mrs. Sheri-
dams name is known far and wide as
the owner of one of the largest chick
en- hatcheries in the state. She in
formed us that she had 5000 eggs in
the new incubator and had already
shipped to almost every state in the
union, more than 1000 day-old chicks
this, spring. On last Saturday alone,
she received orders for 700 chicks,
and the money--$2O per hundred
came with the orders. We were anx-
ious to know how Mrs Sheridan came
to start in the chicken business, and
she informed us that Uncle Sam was
the cause of it. When tine war was
declared, the ladies in her neighbor-
hood Immediately formed a Red Cross
Society, and went to work. Then
came the first bond issue. At a meet
ing of the Red Cross the ladies were
discussing the means to be adopted
whereby they might buy some Liberty
bonds. One lady decided to do her
own washing, and thus save money to
invest in bonds. Other ladies had
different ideas as to saving, and Mrs.
Sheridan thought Of the dayeold chick
proposition. To think about anything
with Mrs. Sheridan, is to act, and she
Immediately took the business way Of
going at 1t, and advertised in some of
the leading papers that she would sell
day-old chicks of purebreed, and buy
bonds with the money. She was sur
prised at the frequency with which or
ders began pouring in, and soon had
enough money to buy a good block of
bonds, and with her chickens, has
been able to buy bonds of every one
OF the five issues. Last year, she
sold a little more than $1100 worth
of chicks, and then bought the big in
cubator, and since, then her success
has been assured. She has her big
machine all paid for, and money in
the bank.

WOOL WILL LONG BE SCARCE
Life Of Pound Of Valuable Product
Has Been Shortened on Account
Of the War.

.Even with peace 1t is doubtful If
our clothes will return to normal, In
price or otherwise, until long after,
the war;" writes Douglas Jaspersen in
Everybody's. '"The necessity Of re
facilitating the millions of men in
khaki is already problem. This vast
army to be reclothed will be q heavy
drain upon the worlds already ex-
hausted wool, and shoddy markets.
Then, too, the need Of depleted Ger
many for wool and shoddy should fur.
ther tend to increase the shortage all
over the world.
"Eyer since the beginning of the war
shoddy has been disappearing from
our midst at an alarming rate, while
the production of wool has been en-
tirely Inadequate to the worlds needs.
.In normal times the life Of pound
Of wool in It's various incarnatiOns ex-
tends over period of years.
But war, the most wasteful Of all
businesses, has changed the old order
of things. Both the virgin wool and
the shoddy that went to make up that
khaki coat for some soldier are buried,
with Its wearer, somewhere over
there and will never return to do duty
for US again. And so, in a great many
eases, the life Of a pound Of wool has
Deen suddenly reduced from some
where around six years to as many
months. Wool alone can never clothe
the world. 1t has been shoddy that
kept the worlds clothing bill down for
many q year, and until the shoddy sup
ply Is normal again we can all expect
to have more or less trouble with our
clothes" & 3

LIKE OTHER ORIENTAL TOWNS
Joppa Since Earliest History Has
Been More. or Less the Plaything
of Conquerors.

In the tribute lists of Thothmes III.
king Of Egypt who held his court on
the banks Of the Nile, some 1900 years
before the Christian era, there figured
the town Of Joppa. Thothmes III was a
mighty warrior. He fought no fewer
than seventeen successful campaigns
in Syria, twice captured Kadesh and
was one Of the greatest builders and
administrators Egypt had ever known.
SO, although nothing is certain about
the matter,she probably captured Jop-
pa and laid tribute on the inhabitants,
who then, as, today. built their houses
over the "r2nnded hillock" which, from
the sea, forms a gracious landmark.
That was 3,40O years ago.. and every
now and again during all those CEN
turtles, the old city. which looks out
over the Mediterranean toward the
coast of, Africa, away beyond Egypt,
has stepped into. and out Of the history
Of the world.

of age. On Oct 81, 1879, he was uni

WHEN MAKING OUT A CHECK
Take Time Enough to Write Legibly
and Be Sure Amount Is Indicated
Clearly In Writing.

Do you know how to write a check
so that,it cannot be successfully tam
pered with?S Experts declare that
carelessness in that small matter is
responsible for the loss of millions Of
dollars annually, the loss falling some
times on the individual and sometimes
on the bank. There are mechanical
devices to prevent the raising of
checks, but their use is not general,
partly because of the expense, but
more particularly, probably, because 1t
adds one more to the multitude Of
things to be done.
For those who nare daily taking
chances William G.. Pengelly, hand
writing expert in a recent paper, Of
fers some valuable advice in the draw.
ing Of checks. His first suggestion is
to take enough time for the process to
be sure of doing good job. In filling
in the space for the amount in nu-
merals, write In legibe figures. begin
ming close to the printed dollar mark /;
don't leave space for the insertion of
another figure. Then write the amount
In words, preferably beginning with a
capital, at the left-hand end of the
line; don't write it so that the amount
stands in the middle Of the line; hav-
ing written the amount properly, draw
a heavy line from the last letter to
the word "Dollars'' at the right. AS
he says, "block the words In" so that
additions cannot be easily made either
at the beginning or at the end. When
the words are written clearly and with
an initial Of unmistakable identity, the
check-raiser has little opportunity for
his work.
Another safeguard Mr.. Pengelly sug
gests is the writing Of the amount OF
the check, either in figures or words, In
red ink, above or within the signature

WELL SATISFIED WITH "FIND''
Columbus Rejoiced Over Belief That
Natives He Found In America
Would Make Good Christians.

I. y Il s =
Columbus landed on small island,
zone of the Lucayes called In the In
dian language Guanahani," the intrepid
navigator afterward wrote. Later the
island was called San Salvador, and
now is known as Watling's island.
There was discovered In Spain In
1925 the manuscript supposed to be
Las Casas' Infringement Of Columbus
Journal of his first voyage to America,
and from this we have some interest
ing details Of the actual circumstances
surrounding the discovery OF the new
world.
The people Of the island straight
way collected together when Column
bus landed, according to this journal.
Here follow his precise words:
"As saw that they We're very
friendly to us and perceived that they
could be much more easily converted
to our holy faith by gentle means than
by sforce, j presented them with some
red caps and strings Of beads to wear
upon the neck and many other trlfies
Of small value, wherewith they were
much delighted and became wonder
fully attached to u.s."
Columbus comment; that the people
appeared to him to be very poor be-
cause they went about I:.ked. He
noted that all the natives he saw were
young. none being above thirty years,
and that all of them had fine physique
and short, straight hair. He believed
they We're from the continent and was
OF tile opinion that they would make
good Christians, as they appeared to
have no religion at all.

White LIGHT Best.

White light Seems to be the most
comfortable for the eye. In tests Of
the effects of various illuminants G. r..
Ferree and j. Rand, as described to
the American Illuminating society,
have used kerosene lamps and various
incandescent lamps and it appears
from the results that the color Of the
light has a marked effect on, eye
fatigue. With the white light Of the
tungsten lamp there was the least loss
to the worker from need of resting
the eyes. The fatigue was. somewhat
greater with the yellow light Of the
carbon lamp or Kerosene lamp, and
greatest Of all with the tungsten lamp
having a blue bulb.
