STAND
 IN MASS. CONTEST
Coolidge Declines to Take Sides
 in Election

swampscott. Mass, July g lp-- President Coolidge does not intend to play an active role in congress sional elections.
 This determination holds even h his own congressional district In Massachusetts in which a vacancy now exists as result of the recent death Of George B. Churchill.
 Reports that Mr. Coolidge is be- hind a movement to have Henry L. Bowles Of Springfield, seek this seat, arc known 10 be somewhat vexing to the executive despite his close personal friendship for Mir. BoTles. This candidate undoubtedly would be the choice Of the president and his personal friends have urged MT Rowies to run, but Mr. Coolidge believes 1t Is not his prerogaove 10 participate in these elections.
 Mir. Bowles conferred here yester- day Tith Frank ", stearns, intimate friend Of the president, and Thomas White, also close to the executive.
 Standing pat on this policy Mir. Coolidge has made 1t known that he will not speak at the Essex County Newspaper Editors outing to be held Saturday at Lake Attitash which Senator Butler Till attend. It was the general belief that on this oc- casion the latter would stage the formal opening ot his campaign for reelection in the contest 10 be Taged a year hence when he probably will be opposed by David I. Walsh. for mer democratic senator from this state.
 The president will attend the out ing which he has taken part Tn years past and Mir. Butler also will attend, Senator Butler was the presidents choice for a manager In the last campaign and when sena- tor Lodge died he was appointed to the senate.

BRIDGEPORT MEN
 TO JET PAY CUTS
Salaries to Be Reduced Under
 Ripper Bill

Bridgeport July P,-city Audit or Walter Garrity appealed to City Attorney A. L. Delaney for an opin- ion as to whether, in making up the payrool for Ripper" officials, he should follow the salary scale set by the legislature and board of appor- tionment and taxation or the much lower scale fixed by the common council.
 Fayors Lower Scale
 IL vas on the recommendation of City Attorney Delaney that the board of aldermen, by ordinance, fixed new salary scale, far below figures specified In the Ripper" law and ordered by the tax board, Mir. Delaney admitted. He had not re- .ceived the request from, the auditor, but said that since the councils ac- tion vas taken at his suggestion, he will naturally advise Auditor Garrity to pay the new officials in accord ance with the action of the common council.
 NeN ID 10 SOurt
 When pay day comes, July IS, new officials will find checks ready on the basis of salaries fixed by the council and 1t will then become necessary for them 10 institute court action If they wish to make an at tempt 10 be paid on the basis as fixed in the new charter amendment
 Official notices of the two sal- ary scales were filed with Auditor Garrity yesterday No salaries are fixed for outside tax collectors in the ripper" boards scale, but the council schedule fixes these at slSoo. The status of these two col lectors, Russell Nearv and Frank Finn. is uncertain and William E. Burnham, tax board president, in- tends 10 consult Tax Attorney Ed ward T.. Kelly on this question as soon as the latter returns 10 this city.
 The outside collectors, by or dinahce are under the direction of the city attorney, but Mir. Delaney claims the ripper" law rendered the ordinance imperative. He and Attorney John 4. Cornell, counsel for Deputy Tax Collector Edward A Drew, are Of the opinion that the tTo collectors were included in the agreement hy uhich Drew and his entire office force were retained In office by Collector Howard $. Chal. langer.
 Neary is on his vacation but Finn, although barred from the inner offices of the collector, is working daily,

Three Texas nTIahtwads.n

It is said that three of the stingiest
men in the State were in town yester-
day. One of them will not drink as
much water as he wants unless 1t is
from another mans well. The sec
ond forbids any of his family from
writing anything but "small hand"
as it is waste of ink to make large
letters. The third stops his clock at
night in order to save wear and tear
on the machinery. All Of them de-
cline to take their county paper, on
the ground that it is a terrible strain
on their spectacles to read newspapers
even in the daytime.

The Money Of aavaaes.

Many savageS know no commeroe
except the direct exchange Of one use-
full object for another, but numerous
other tribes have experienced the nee
essity Of facilitating business by tbs
creation OF a standard currency which
enables exchanges to be made indirect
ly and at any time. This money vaTa@s
greatly In character in different places.
The money most commonly employed
by primitive peoples consists Of useful
objects Examples are: Slaves in
Africa and New Guinea; cattle, REIN
deer among the Laps; salt, in Laos,
Indo China; furs, in Siberia; cloth, in
Africa; shells, beads, feather and 9th
er ornaments, and even various arti-
cles of food. If the money is not useful
in itself it must naturally be COM
posed Of rare materials. THUS the
Pelew islanders, near Australia, says
M. Deniker, carefully preserve as cur
cent money certain number of OBJ
sidian or porcelain beads and pr1sms
of terra Gotta, imported no one knows
just when or how, which have very
high values. One tribe possesses
single prism Of clay which is regarded
as public treasure. In the neighbor-
ing island of zap the place of money
is taken by blocks of aragonite, min
ehal which is not found in the island but
is brought from the Pelews. The value
of block is proportional to its size,
thousand-franc note ($200) being rep
resented by huge disk which two men
can hardly carry"
But this is an exceptional case. Us
ually, preference is shown for more
convenient objects, which combine a
maximum of value with a minimum of
weight. For example, the Chorchon
and Bannock Indians Of Idaho and
Montana use teeth of the wapiti deer
as money. For the same reasons the
Michmis make use Of the skulls Of an
imals, while the money of the Loyalty
islands, in the Pacific, consists Of ropes
made Of fox hair, which may be cut
to any desired length. The Mexicans
formerly made extensive use of cacao
beans and this sort of money is not
yet entirely obsolete, despite modern
AdCl14tACS VI SOA4AAnuuAO1tAOAs 0uCAt0
are often used as money. According
to M. Deniker. the tooth shell, or "ele-
plants tusk." is thus employed by the
Indians of northwestern America.
wampum beads of the tribes of the
eastern United States are made of the
shells of Venus mercaRaria, species
akin to the cookies.
But Of all shells the cowry IL most
used as money. The species most frs-
quently employed are Cyprea monetS
and Cyprea annulus, Of which the for
mer appears to be commonest In Asia.
the latter In Africa. Both spesdes
occur throughout the Indiaa ocean, but
they are gathered in large quantities
in only two districts, the Maldive Is
lands, west of Ce7lon, and the Sulu
archipelago, between Borneo and the
Philippines On the Asiatic continent
they are used as money most extern
