$50 GOLD PIECES
GIVE LIKE TROUBLE

Bank cashiers and poker players
are opposed to the beautiful new sill
YER Peace Dollar. which was placed
in circulation yesterday. Every one
else. except those who handle coins
most, are pleased with them.
II is not the artistic sense OF the
money-changer that Is offended He
thinks the new coin is an excellent
piece of art. but he objects, he says.
because they viii not stack.
This statement is true. Ten OF
them when placed in pile, no mat
ter how carefully. have jagged edges
and easily slip over. IL twenty are
piled together the slightest jar OF a
desk or a table will send them roll
ing and scattering, and both bank
employees and poker players dislike
TO make change from the floor.
Bank officials who are used to
handling coins say that failure TO
stack is due probably to the high re-
lief OF the head OF Liberty on one
side. and also that the coin edge on
each face is smooth instead Of
milled. In fact, the coin is slightly
concave. and one easily slips from
another.
This is tho second time new coins
have failed to stack firmly. When
the $50 gold pieces were first placed
in circulation similar defect was
discovered and new issue was
made which remedied the trouble.
Since then the first issue coins have
greatly increased in values and are
sought by collectors.
Many OF the new dollars were
shipped yesterday from the Phila-
/ delphla Mint The coin has a

OF LOAN ASSOCIATION

Charles Warner. chairman OF the

has made public the following letter
written by George J.. Medhl, state
Banking Commissioner. emphasizing
the Importance OF building and loan
associations in promoting thrift:
Dear Sir: II was with a great
deal OF interest that ] learned Of
your organization. There is no quas-
tion about the desirability of more
well managed building and loan as
sociauons in the city OF Whining
ton. Your organization should be
in a position to aid in the formation
OF these associations
''Since the success OF a building
and loan association depends so
largely upon its management. feel
that too much stress cannot be laid
upon the Importance OF securing
the proper men for your officers and
directors
"a building and loan association
is OF great benefit TO a community
by serving as an instrument OF syste-
matte saving. and further. in the
announcement Il gives tho wage
Garner to own his own home. and
surely any institution which renders
these services is OF great benefit to
any community. I feel that Will
mington has been very delinquent
in the matter OF building and loan
associations and l hope that many
new ones may be organized. pro-
vided they will be under proper man
agcment.
''The Banking Department make
, an examination of the accounts OF
each building and loan association
In the state once in each year. These
examinations are Thorough and I be-
lieve serve as a great protection q
