After the present Constitution was
adopted the cent was retained as
part of our monetary system. On
April 2, 1892, Congress passed an
"act establishing a Mint, and regu-
lating the coins of the United
States" This act prescribed Gents
each to be of the value of the one
hundredth part of dollar, and to
contain IL penny-weights of "copper""
The same law prescribed half cents.
On the following 9Th of May the
director of the mint was "authoriz-
ed to contract for and purchase a
quantity of copper, not exceeding
$50 tons, and that the said director,
as soon as needful preparations
shall be made, cause the copper by
him purchased to be coined at the
mint into cents and half cents" pur-
suant to the act quoted above. The
first cents actually minted under the
Constitution appeared in 179S.-The

Philippe de Valois and many

writer assures the fortunate owner
Of a brilliant ruby that he will
live in peace and concord with all
men and that neither his land nor
his rank will be taken from him,
and that he will be preserved from
all perils. His house, his fruit trees
and his vineyards will be guarded
from tempests." All these results
would most surely be secured If
the ruby, set in ring, bracelet or
brooch were worn on the left side. |
This belief is more tersely found |
in the rhyme:

Success will bless whate'er

Il am not yet success, except

Henry Ford's view of life at sixty
five, expressed in an interview with
The American Magazine, in which
he gives the most complete outline
of his work and aims that he has
ever permitted to be made public.
Moreover, the Millionaire manu-
facturer made it plain that he does
not intend to retire either in the
near future or ever, for that matter.

"a man is in training. He is as
sembling the tools with which to
work. When the tools are at hand.
they can be put to their real uses.
Should he quit then he would quit
failure. If he should sell out and
retire, he would be the sorriest fail
ure of all. Money is but a tool. AS
soon as it becomes other than a
tool in use it is a menace"
Mr.. Ford considers his business
merely as a machine and not pri-
marily designed to build automo-
biles. The most important things
1t is designed to produce, he de-
clares, is jobs-better Jobs, more
jobs at higher wages and shorter

SCHOOL TIME IS CAUTION TIME

Are you school conscious" Mr.
Driver?
If you are not, you had better
become so. With the coming of
good weather school children have
just about thirty percent more cars
to dodge than in winter. They
should not bear this responsibility
alone. Keep their hours of passing
in mind.
From eight o'clock until half past
nine, sometimes at ten-thirty recess,
from twelve to one and after three
o'clock, children are going to and
from school in the cities and small
towns.
Every driver should be especially
alert at these times and ON the
lookout for boys and girls at street
crossings.
In country districts the roads
are almost all well marked: "GO
SLOW-SCHOOL AHEAD" and
the children are much more apt to
be off the road at playtime, but

speedy drivers, nor should they have
to dodge and hide IN the cutters to
prevent being splashed.
In big cities policemen are usually
placed at strategic crossing points
near the school but even in districts
not situated near the school many
children come and go at school
hours.
Where there is no traffic police-
man the responsibility is distinctly
on the shoulders of the motorist.
It is not fair for school children to
have to stand "marooned" on a
curbstone within a few minutes of
nine or one o'clock while a long
line of motor cars blocks their
passage to the school with no let
up, merely because there does not
happen to be a traffic officer nearby.
The School conscious" motorist
will know what time it is, see their
plight and stop for just that minute

school on time.
Drive safely at school times and
