U. S. LOSES MILLIONS.
Effort to Hold Up Allied Currency
Costly to America,

CoStty 20 Amerlca.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The United
States government has lost a vast
sum. estimated at between one and
two hundred million dollars, in an
endeavor to hold up the depreciated ed
currency of Great Britain and other
countries with which she was allied
in tho war. treasury officials re-

: this extremity the British gov
ment appealed to the United
ates.
Thereupon President Wilson rushed
thru congress a bill now known as
the Pittman act. It provided for the
melting down Of $3.50, 10000 Of Am
erican silver dollars and the sale of
the bullion abroad at the fixed price
OF 81 an ounce. OF this 207, 900, 900
ounces were sold to Britain. The re-
mainder went to France and other
European countries. The prioe of sill
YER then was above the 81 fixed
price. Ultimately 1t reached around
S1.35 an ounce.
The Pittman act provides that the
$3.50, 100000 in silver should be re-
placed by purchases from, American
producers at the same price Of 81 an
ounce. The price Of silver has fallen
until recently 1t was quoted at e5
cents an ounce
So acute did the question become
before the United States solved the
difficulty that commercial transac-
tions were reduced to barter because
no one would accept the deprecated
paper money that was the only cur
rency available.

PENNY LUNCH POPULAR.
Chicago School Boards Plan Enor-
nous Success.

BY Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-Judging by their
patronage, the cent and cent
meals put UP by the Chicago board
of education are making an enormous
success.
The city's penny lunch business
runs fyom forty to fifty thousand
customers a day. Sales, measured in
pennies and nickles, amount daily be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
1--WE have to chase the children
away" remarked Dr.. Frank G.
Bruner, director of special schools
under the board OF education, who
has charge of this work. '.Often we
have to stand at the door and protect
the lunchrooms SO they won't be
overrun."
DR.. Bruner said that penny lunches
had been established in fifty seven
of the city's elementary schools
Their object, he observed, is to pro
vide substantial food at the least
cost for children coming from homes
where there is real necessity. Lunch
rooms therefore have been opened In
districts where, as a general thing
the people are not as we'll to do.
For 5 cents DR.. Bruner said, "the
menu runs something like this:
Soup.
Bread.
Milk or cocoa.
Fruit or pudding.
THE bill of fare at cents drops
the milk. And then youngster can
spend only a penny If he wants to
buying any one of these articles for
1t. Or if he is not blessed with wealth
and yet has more than a penny, he
can for cents purchase meat ball
beans, spagetti or rice.
THE board of education is spend
ing s15o.0O0 year to provide these
meals. added Dr. Bruner. "The
board donates all service and equip
ment. That iNcludes the rooms
cooks, light, gasf>-the entire main
tenance cost. What the children pay
goes into the food We /buy at
wholesale and the receipts cover the
purchase Of the food"
In addition to the penny lunches,
the board of education, supplies a
bite to eat at the morning recess al
1880 In all elementary schools. This
sells for penny and consists of a
sandwich with filing of jelly, jam
syrup peanut butter or oleo, or else
dish of parridge.
Then there are thirty or so high
schools. TeSe have their cafeterias.
They are run on a different principle,
the object being to provide foor for
students coming from a distance.
DR.. Bruner said that in all cases
| they were self sustaining in some the
| cafeterias are operated on a profit
conseccton, in others by the board of
| education.
