His scheme is so simple and so

that he stumbled on it by accident.
He simply buys international cou-
pons, which are exchangeable into
stamps, taking care to buy where the
rates of exchange are such that $1.0O
of American currencv is really worth
$500 or more. BY so doing he gets

WASHINGTON.-On the basis of
an estimated population of 100000

increase of approximately 100000
in ten years, it will be necessary to
provide 65 or 66 additional seats in

basis of representation beyond the
211, 900 or major portion thereof now
fixed. In the latter event Indiana
Iowa and Missouri would each lose
two congressman, and Illinois, Ken
lucky, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska.
Vermont and Virginia would each
lose one, because their populations
have not increased in proportion to
those of other states. This is the
view taken by Representative Isaac
Siegel, New York, chairman of the
census committee, which will frame
the new apportionment bill.

Just what the value of a shekel OF
silver was is impossible to compute
now as most transactions were IN the
nature of barter, but it is known that
in those days a fine female slave
could be had for five shekels or less,
and perhaps that was what the money
was borrowed for. The silver ratio
then was about six to one compared
with gold. and it may be that shekel
was equivalent to 500 now.
