The United States now is paying 81 an
ounce for the silver being used in the
dollars now being coined.
Were 1t not for the Pitman act that
silver could now be bought at the rate
Of go cents an ounce in the open market
That would make a saving of S12000,000
to the United States. But the Pitman
act sets the price at 81 per ounce. and
that IS the price that must be paid. At
the time that price was set silver was
selig a little more than 81 an ounce,
but the price was set in a falling mar

sunshine for sale.
That would be an appropriate title an
nouncing the nature Of the song revue
being offered by Miss Marjorie Edwards.
ormerly of the Savage production OF
See Saw" and other successful musical
comedies, this week at tho Ohio.
1t Is the sunshine quality of the work
OF Miss Edwards which makes it pos
sible for q musical comedy singer to
break down the barriers which exist be-
tween the patrons Of the silent drama
and the professional who appears in
movie theater.
I have contended earnestly for some
time that the appearances OF musical
comedy favorites in person in light and
tuneful recital OF past successes would
result in entire satisfaction to both the
mana cement and the public.
The euga cement Of Miss Edwards. who
is the daughter Of Edward f. Gslligan
Of Marion. Ind, and a widely known
theater manager. has proven that my
theory is right The other night
dropped into the Ohio to hear Miss
Edwards.
She brings to the Ohio the same pretty
gowns. charming way and rich voice
which characterized her appearances IN
the big musical comedies Of the past
season. She is opening with a little love
song, which Is really ballad. She then
swings into her big number-the sun
shine" number in which she sells"
sunshine and smiles to the audience. This
number resulted while I was in the
theater in one of the most sincere
ovatiOns rendered a singer in experiences
covering the local movie theaters.
Years Of study and careful training
coupled to the experiences Of the musical
comedy stage. has resulted in giving to
the entertainment loving public a singer
whose wholesomeness and refreshing per
sonality is as welcomed as a glass OF ice
water on a warm day.
The appearances OF the real people of
the stage in movie theaters is not IN
common. I noticed a press report from
London, England, recently IN which it
was stated that Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

Eternal City Planning
Houses on Top Houses

ROME, Aug 24.-Rome viii become
city of odd appearance if the plans for
the solution of the housing problem pro
posed by some Italian engineers are put
in operation. The proposal is to build
on the fat roofs of most of the build
ings in Rome light houses of three and
four stories.
The engineers have placed their ideas
before Henry Colt MacClean. United
States commercial attachs to the Amert"
can embassy. They have asked that
American capital become interested in
the project The material for the whole
scheme, according to the engineers sug-
gestions, would come from America be-
cause of the adaptability Of American
light construction methods IN the choice
Of materials and means Of assembling.
Mr.. MacClean has succeeded in inter
esting several American business men in
the project and other projects along the
line of building construction in Rome.

Tired and NerUous-frona the Lack
of Sleep? DO You Know
the Reason Why?

Sleep time Is the time when
the reconstructive processes tn
your body are busiest - turning
food into blood, and nerve tissue,
and living cells.
That's the reason why lack of
sleep makes you irritable, hleffl-
Gent and nervous; and why you
lack punch" when you don't get
a proper amount of the right
kind of sleep.
1t has been the experience
of many that the cup of tea or
coffee, taken at meal-tirne, robs
them of sleep.
In Gould and Pyle's Cyclic
pedia of Medicine and Surgery
you'll find that "caffen Is a rap
idly acting stirnulant to the brain
and spinal cord, quickens the
action of the heart, and raises

u. S. MINT AT
PHILADELPHIA
CUTS OFF DEBT
LOps $1,000 Daily From An
nual Interest on Paper
Money.
COINS S26O,OOO A DAY

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.-The Phil
adelphia mint is cutting down the in
terest bearing debt Of the United States
$5 100000 a month. Each day the mint
is cutting $1,000 from the annual in
terest on paper held against the United
States.
All of that comes about because of the
concentration of the work Of the three
United States mints in coming Of silver
dollars to replace 350,000000 dollars that
were melted down during the war to sell
to the English as bullion.
When all those dollars were melted.
the United States had to call In all the
silver certifcates-the 81, 50 and s.
bills" to speak in common lingo-rep-
resenting the dollars that are deposited
in the~vaults OF the minis. Under the
law Of tho land the treasury must hold
silver dollar for each dollar silver GER
| tiflcate Issued.
| So with the melting of the silver dol
lars silver certificates had to be recalled.
! To cover that loss In currency, the
Government issued short term certificates
Of Indebtedness bearing per cent in
/ terest
/ The silver dollars now being coined
allow for the Insurance Of new silver
certificates which are being used in call
| ing in those certificates OF indebtedness.
There are three mints-Philadelphia
| Denver and San Francisco. The Phila
dslphia mint is equal In output to those
in Denver and San Francisco combined.
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
! COINED SINCE APRIL.
Last April all three plants were
started on the making OF the silver dol
lars. They were put on twenty four
hour working days for elk days Of the
week. Two shifts Of twelve hours each
now are working in the Philadelphia
mint. Until few weeks ago, there were
three shifts Of eight hours each But
when Freas Styer succeeded Adam Joyce
as superintendent Of the mint, the third
shift was put to work counting the
money in the vaults in the making of
an audit due TO the change in Admins
( tration.
! In I'VE four months since April 10000,
600 silver dollars have been coined There
remains on hand to be pressed into coin
