The Name ohIo Was : Puzzle.

One Of the best navy stories of the
sometimes amusing mistakes Of the
Britisher over names in common use
in the United States is told by Rear
Admiral w. P. Potter, U. S. NJ, on
duty at Washington.
Some years ago." said Rear Ad-
miral Potter, "the old United States
ship Ohio steamed into a South Am
erican port and anchored near a
British passenger steamship. She in
terested the passengers of the steam
ship very much.
after a little q new man came ON
deck and began an eyeglass inspection
Of the battleship. He stared at the
name for several moments and then
delivered himself as follows:

that in Ireland over six pounds Of tea
per head of the population are cca-
sumed yearly. The consumption per
head has remained practically station
airy for the last five years. but in
creased about one pound per head in
the preceding ten years. There is no
other European country, with the ex-
ception OF Holland, where the con-
sumption OF tea exceeds one pound per
head. 1t must be remembered that I'M

pounds of tea cost the poor sixpence in

A Partisan actor who formerly made

which his wife was helpless against

Treasury's Effort
To Put !SilUer 81
In Use Is Failure

The Treasury has admitted de-
feat in its efforts to increase the
circulation of silver dollars. The
American public, II has decided,
apparently is determined never
again to carry any amount of the
old "cartwheels" in its money
pocket.
Some months ago Assistant Sec
retary Dewey launched a campaign
to increase the circulation of sill
yer dollars as a means of saving
the dollar bill, which since the war
have been used so extensively that
the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing has had no time to print
a surplus for seasoning. The cam
paign promised success at the
start. and about $10,000,00o was
fed out from the Treasury, but it
was not long before it came back.
The circulation of silver dollars
today is only about $50,000,000.
