He is a natural leader of men,"

him plug his way through Harvard

come out of the World war a lieuten-

several decorations.
His military record begins with his
service on the Mexican border in 1919
as a first lieutenant with the Second
Iowa infantry. When the United
States entered the World war he en-
rolled at the officers training camp at
Fort Smelling and was sent to France
AS a provisional second lieutenant In
the regular army. In France he was
with the Ninth infantry Of the Second
division. He was wounded at st.

three rods ahead, the background is
very indistinct. Consequently the mo-

the point of disappearance finds that
the foreground takes care of itself
that Is, he subconsciOusly directs the
movements of the car without any
distraction of his attention from what
is coming farther on. SO his car fol-
lows a straighter course, with long,
Easy sinuOsities that do not cause any
swaying of the body, and his cOmpan-
ion motorists scarcely realize that
there are any bad places in the road
over which they are travelling.
Similarly in city traffic the proficient
driver watches the movements of all
the vehicles well in advance and, by
judging their speed and noting their
direction of motion, Is on the alert for
the slightest sign of arA intention to
slow down or turn into a side street or
pass around a wagon or car going In
the same direction. He governs his
own movements accordingly, and cas-
lily avoids liability of running into an
other vehicle.

Two Pillars in the Dollar Mark.

While many have accepted the story
as true that the dollar sign, $, was
formed by a joining of the initials U.
S. into a sort of monogram, it is quite
generally accepted that the dollar sign
Is of Spanish origin.
Pillars in early times were used to
symbolic strength and stability. The
Tyrians, whose coinage was the EARL
est currency, placed on their coins
two pillars, symbolical of the pillars
named Boaz and joachim, which formed
a part of King Solomon's temple. 1t
is related that a Tyrian explorer erect
ed two pillars on the site of the pres
ent city of Cadiz in Spain and that
In later years Spain coined dollars
on which were these pillars entwined
with a scroll. The pillars and scroll
became emblematic of the dollar and
came to be used by the United States
as a dollar sign.-Cleveland News
