IN the present business depression An
official OF the leading concern making
motors and records, declared that the
great demand for machines and records
last year led to an expansion OF the
productive capacity Of the industry to
fully twice its former size. The cur
taiment became all the more marked
because of this recent and rapid eXpan-
sion and has left most OF the manu-
featuring concerns with increased

Cordial Greetings

M'KENZIE, Tenn, May 25.-For
the first time since the division arose
in the Cumberland Presbyterian
church over union with the Presby-
terrain church, U. S. A, the assembly
of the latter church in session at
Philadelphia and the Cumberland
Presbyterian general assembly, which

the assembly here has directed DR..
D. w. Fooks, stated clerk, to send
the following response:
In the spirit of our Lord and
Savior, we accept and return said
greetings and earnestly join in the
desire for the day when all bar
riers against a common fellowship
shall have been removed"
The committees report of the re-
Spouse yesterday was greeted by
great applause. The vote adopting it
was practically unanimous and the
lowed by the singing Of the doXo1ogy.

How Various Coins Were Named;
Few Fully Understand the Origin

One of the most distinguished ele-
ments in the present commercial diff
ficulty is that of money and exchange
and it is not surprising when conSid-
Grafton is given to the Importance of
the medium of exchange and what
part it has to play in serving for
the transfer of commodities The
word money was derived from none
ia, one of the surnames Of Juno, in
whose temple the Romans first made
coins. The word wint is supposed
to be a contraction of the word none
ia through the AngloSaXon "mynet."
When we read that sterling has
fallen in exchange value who knows
the origin of the term? Yet it is
traced to the inhabitants Of the Han
so Towns, known as Esterlings, who
were invited by King John, of Eng
land, to come to England and reform
the currency which had become very
corrupt. From that date good Eng
lish' money was known as sterling.
The shilling is from the Anglo
Saxon shilling, meaning a twentieth
so it takes twenty shillings to make
a pound.
The English farthing meant the
fourth of a penny and was actually
broken from a penny in olden days
when the pennies were indented with
a full cross 50 heavily that they
could be snapped into four. This
was a solution of making change, as
the primitive understood it.
The franc is only another way Of
spelling the silver coin of the

COMMONER TAKES
FLAT ISSUE WITH
PRESIDENT s PLAN

WASHINGTON. May 25,-William
]. Bryan took fiat issue today with
President Wilson on the question Of
an American mandate over Armenia,
declaring in a statement that amy
mandate is impossible"
The United States, Mr.. Bryan said
could do no more toward making the
world safe for democracy, "even for
democracy in Armenia" than by rec
ognizing the Armenian republic and
entering the League of Nations "as
the friend of all little countries"
ANY mandate is impossible" Mr.
Bryan's statement said. without
other peace.
Would Mean Expense
1.-THE one proposed for Armenia il
accepted would involve us IN an
enormous expenditure IN a time when
war. taxation is still SO grievUus a
buy den that congress has difficulty
in finding the money necessary to
do justice to the men who served
in the World war,
1T would involve us in the poll
tics of Europe and would compel US
to deal with implacable race hat
reds.
1T would involve US in the fierce
commercial rivalry of the big ma
tions.
But. worst of all. it would COM
pei us to surrender a vital principle
OIL democracy, namely THAT all peo-
pie are capable of government.
Nearly 100 years ago Henry Clay set
forth the American view on this sub
ject in dealing with aspirations of
South American republics. Refer
ring to the old contention of mon
archists that subject peoples were
incapable of self-government, Clay
declared it to be reflection on the
Almighty to assume that He would
create peoples incapable of self
government and leave them to be the
victims of kings and emperors.
opposes Exploitation
"All the colonial exploitation of
helpless peoples is defended on the
theory of their incapacity for self
government. We cannot indorSe this
theory. 1t would be injurious to the
Armenians instead Of a kindness to
affirm or admit them incapable of
f-government. If it were once
mitted to outgrow the presumption
of incapacity because consent to
their independence would encourage
other subject peoples to ask for in
dependence.
christianity does not require us
to abandon our ideas of government
or to adopt monarchical forms in
rendering aid to suffering peoples,
American ideas are entirely consist
ent with Christianity. We can rec
ognize the independence Of the kr-
menian republic and send as min
lister to Armenia a man who has faith
in democracy and who believes that
governments should rest upon con-
sent of the governed. He can advise
with Armenian officials when they
desire advice and help them as a
friend. We can be of much more
service to them in this way than
we can by exercising authority over
them. Then. if we will ratify the
treaty and enter the League of Ma
tions as the friend of all the little
countries and insist on universal dis
armament we may be able to make
the world safe for democracy-even
for dam0cr acV in Armenia ~

Says She Taught Her
Parrot to ''Cuss y

ATLANTIC CITY.-If wife
teaches a parrot to "cuss, out" her
husband, is it sufficient grounds for
divorce?
This issue has been put up to .Spe-
cial Master in Chancery Slack in the
suit brought by Maltby Fl. Messlck'
city fireman and overseas veteran
against Mary R. Messick.
Mrs. Mamie Allen, a relative OF
the defendant, testified that during ilg
a visit to her home in Philadelphia,
Mrs. Messick had a parrot in her
room with her constantly and it
received a regular schooling in mod
ern GUESSING.
Mrs. Messick, according to Mrs.
Allen, said she was teaching the
bird to cuss and swear so it could
express her opinion of her husband
when he got home"
MessiclS, who was a top sergeant in
Battery D, 112th artillery, admitted
the bird had an entirely new line
chat was worse than any German
gas he had bumped into" Capt.
Hiram Steelman, his old commander,
now his counsel, pins his entire case
on the linguistic parrot.

Woman Hides From
Husband "a Years

LONDON, England, May 20.-A di-
lapidated dwelling in the quaint lit
the village of Midhurst, Sussex surely
will be known as the House with
the Green Shutters" Although q
woman has occupied the house for
tWenty-four years, very few of the
1000 villagers knew she lived there.
She was almost as completely hidden
from the world as if she had dwelt
in a wilderness.
she died recently. Years and years
ago. when she was 80, she married
a man younger than herself. Soon
she regretted the step; suddenly she
disappeared. Undoubtedly her pur-
pose in hiding herself was to de-
prlve her husband of any claim on
her money; which was her own.
SO well did she seclude herself
that her husband believed her dead
until she died. Learning of this
through the laws channels, he ap-
piled for letters of administration to
Closest Kin Not Informed
Even the WOman'S closest relatives
did not know her whereabouts for
years. She had not even told her
advertisement for cook in certain
newspapers, was her only message
when departing.
Years passed. Every day the wife
without husband must have studied
the advertisement columns of the
newspapers she had fixed upon. The
call came in 1896. The woman an
severed it and went to the house
with the green shutters" to her Sis
ter. There, too, lived their brother,
but, unknown to him, this secretive,
lonely woman entered the house. I'm
known to him, she occupied a room
there. He and his sister died The

her last day. No one ever saw her
