No Basis For the
Belief That Coins
Spread Disease
ny Associnfea Press,

Urbana, ILL.,, Dec. 2S.-There
seems to be little basis for the be-
lief that coins bear any close rela.
ton to the spread of disease, accord.
ing to an announcement made at the
University of Illinois here by Drs
Charlotte B. Ward and Fed w. Tan
ner, of the university, following a
series of tests made by the two.
"Coins of the lower denominations
were examined for the types of bac-
terra which exist on them" says
their report. at has often been
stated that money is very danger
GUS article of commerce, since it is
handled by all sorts of persons and
because it usually moves so quickly
from one person to another. 1t has
also been sttaed that cashiers and
others whose vocations require them
to handle money in larger quantities
than the average person, might be
more susceptible to disease, but this
does not seem to be the case.
at seems that the very metals
from which the coins are made act to
destroy the bacteria which reach the
coins. In the study only the more
resistant of bacteria, the spore-
forming bacteria, were found. This
indicates that money need not be
feared, for bacteria cannot live long
on it.
"These findings, however, do not

Detroit May Chop
Saloon Fixtures
Into Wood Soon
lBy Associated Pressl

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 28.-Dozens Of
mahogany, walnut and teakwooc
bars, tables and fixtures from sa-
looms raided in the Detroit district
since the advent of prohibition, a
display of highly polished and cost.
ly wood valued at upwards of $780,
900, may be shopped into firewood
and distributed among Detroit's
poor. Or these bars and tables,
over which thousands of elbows have
been crooked and that in years past
have been made to glisten by con-
slant application of towels in the
hands of white aproned attendants
may be converted into benches for
august judges or into pulpits behind
which clergymen will stand and
voice the arguments for a saloonless
world.
While state and city prohibition
forces are making up their minds
which course to pursue in disposal
of the valuable store of wood, rats
adm mice are playing havoc with the
bars and tables that have been
dumped in a heap near one of the
citys police stations.
Under state law prohibition Of
ficials confiscate the fixtures in any
establishment found to be dsipens-
ing liquors. Lacking a place to store
these articles the officials have piled
them in vacant place outdoors,
thus creating what the police call
the city's mahogany dump"
Judge William M. Heston, of re-
corder's court, has decreed the col
lection be cut into firewood and Civ
en- to the poor. Others propose the
water soaked pile be salvaged and
that the wood be used to make pull
pits and judges benches.
For display purposes the wood is
worth fortune, but for firewood it
is no better than the more plebeian
varieties. City officials say that to
cut the bars into stove wood would
cost more than it would be worth
for that purpose. Therefore, the
proposal of Judge HesSon will not be
put into effect, for time, at least
While solution is being reached
the owner of the property on which
the mahogany dump" is located is
frantically urging the officials to
"take it away" as he needs the
space and also because the dump"
has become the home of scores of
rats.

The Wild Goose" at the Gaiax. is d very real drama of early married life. The deathless love of the wild goose who never deserts his mate IS taken for theme, and a story of great depth and interest is built about the idea.
 Who could be<better chosen for the role of the man who. like the wild goose, loved deathiessly than Holms Herbert. Mr. Herbert's sincere ana deeply intense personality lends real ity to the part. He looks real to be a man of that type described. one who having once found his mate would let only death come between them. The part of the young wife IS played by Mary MacLaren. who Is rather new on the local screen. but a splendid and convincing actress.
 The narrative of the picture IS cf much emotional depth. It is the old story of the young wife and hus- band somewhat older who is unable to meet her youthful ardor. The husbands love Is intense though scarcely appreciated, the wife allow ing herself, to be carried off of her feet by younger but much less at tractive man.

What goes on behind the blank and saualid walls of Frisco's China | town? On what tragedy and TO- nance do the harmless and narrow looking doorways open? Gouvrncur Morris in his "Ta9e of Two Worlds" now at the Rialto, reveals much of the turmoil, intrigue and well-hidden cruelty that is an answer to these questions.

 An American girl rescued by a Chinese man during the Boxer re- bellfon, believes that she is indeed a Chinese girl. She is in habit and custom and lives, according to the | dictates of Chinese convention so heavily resting, as it does upon Chinese womanhood.
