made TO locate II. Under Taylor
will. his daughter, Ethel Daisy. is

Hundreds OF checks found among
Taylor's possessions showed he had

hence had been aided financially by
Taylor. The checks were turned

REDEEM new
SILVER DOLLAR
New Dies to be Made and
Coinage Resumed at
Early Date
FIND IMPERFECTION
IN "PEACE COINS"

The United States Minis did not
coin any standard silver dollars in
January for the first month since
coinage OF the silver pieces was re-
sumed in February, 1921. Design of
the dollar was changed late in De-
cember to the new peace" dollars
and the Philadelphia Mint turned
out somewhat in excess Of 100000
pieces in closing days OF 1921.
There were some imperfections in
the die. however, and coinage of
dollars has been stopped while the
die is being perfected. One criticism
was that dollars would not stack.
another that the edge was not OF
uniform thickness. also that certain
details of figures were not brought
out sufficiently clear. New dies are
being made and it is expected that
coinage of dollars will be resumed
in few days.
AS a result OF the suspension OF
dollar coinage silver bullion hold
ings of the Treasury are increasing
as silver metal continues to be Of
fered at the fixed price OF 81 an
ounce under provisions OF the Pitt
man act. Due to heavy coinage Of
dollars last fall these holdings de-
creased from s5s,O71,691 on August
2. 1921. to s26,27S.7S4 on November
II. When coinage OF old design Of
dollars Stacked in closing weeks OF
year silver bullion holdings 'increas-
ed to s36.572.447 on December 81,
and on February 3 they had increas-
ed further to s4O.354.35O. As the
minis OF the country were turning out
approximately 100000 dollars a day
at one time last year the silver bull
lion will be rapidly consumed once
the new die is perfected and dis
tributed TO the San Francisco and
Denver minis to assist the Philadel-
phia mint in concerning the bullion
bars into dollars.

NEW YORK. Feb. Omitted
Press)-"One hundred million Amer
lean dollars invested in the film in

people are 80 per cent. pure. There
are thousands OF pure good girls

defy any one to prove there are
more rotters among our people than
among people in any other business.

Industry, which is closer to the peo-
