passed away.
1t seems that she had eaten I'm,
bcknown to her parents, the fire,
works called "spit devils" which are
exploded by friction with the hee1
Of the shoe, and the gunpowder and
sulphur combination is given as
the cause of her death. She was a

family has the sympathy of the en-

DECLARES CITY. SHOULD .
Be OWN DANCE CENSOR

Dallas, Texas, July z Omitted
Press) Every city should have a
dance censorship board Of its own.
Dancing should be controlled by
the individual cities rather than oy
the states.
This is the opinion of Mrs. John
Priestly Hart, dancing instructor in
discussing the Duks dance bill, which
will come up before the New York
legislature for consideration next
year. This bill aims at the state reg
ulation Of dancing.
| "Strict censorship is undoubtedly
necessary, but. in my opinion, the
control should be exerted by the
municipality" Mrs. Hart said.
"A board should be created, con-
sisting of the mayor, the moving
picture censor, the dance hall cen
sor, the president of the women's
clubs, heads of the parent-teachers
associations, superintendent of pub
lie schools and heads Of private
schools. Regulation should be left
to them"

III. s. 1922 COIN CROP j j
IS CALLED A FAILURE
American Pockets Are So Full
of Silver That Little More |
Will Be Coined Soon
Bv Kenneth w, Clark

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
Washington, July z. Omitted
Press). 1922 coin crop is a
complete failure. American pockets
are so full of silver that there will
be no nickels, dimes, quarters, or
half-doliars coined this year, F. E.
Scobey, director of the mint an
nounces.
As for pennies, only a paltry $780,
900 worth have been coined at the
Denver mint, as against $492, 900
worth the preceding year.
"There have been approximately
SAC, 100000 worth Of pennies coined
since the mint began in 1892" said
Scobey. $50 what's the use of mak-
ing more, when about the only
things you can still buy with pen
ny nowadays are lollypops?"
This is the first time in 108 years
that half dollars have not been coin
ed; the first time in SO years that
no quarters have been coined; the
first time in 7>years that no dimes
have been coined; with the except
ion of the year 1877, the first time
in 81 years that no nickels have
been coined; and with the except
ion of the years 1915 and 1928,
the first time since the beginn'g OF
the mint in 1898, 129 years ago,
that so few pennies have been
coined.
This is the first year since 1905
that silver dollars have been COIN
ed. In 1905, $8,S12,00O silver dol
lars were coined. This year the or
der is for $5O,O00,000, under the
provisions of the Pittman act, which
required that for every dollar melt
ed into bullion during the war to
be sent abroad as loan to our al
lies, a new silver dollar would be
coined when the war was over.
About $15O,OOO,000 in $40 gold
pieces will be coined this year.
