Vocational guidance among school

of the District of Columbia and the Vo-
cational Guidance Association Of the
District of Columbia in Corcoran Hall
of George Washington University last
night.
Defining vocational guidance" Miss
Alltucker declared it "by no means i'm
plies determinism," or that the person
administering the guidance seeks to
determine just what vocation stu
dent should enter.
ION the contrary" she told the group
of Washington educators, sit implies
revelation of the Students self, dis
covery of his aptitudes and freedom OF
choice"
In its broadest sense. she explained,
vocational guidance includes not merely
the giving of information and advice IN
formal school problems, but also aids in
health, social and moral guidance.

HEBREW EMBLEMS
REAPPEAR ON COINS
Jewish Money Is Minted for
First Time in Nearly
1000 Years.

For the first time in nearly 1000

peared on Palestine coins.
The new coins have been struck IN

British government, which exercises
supervisory powers over minting taclll-
ties in Palestine.

people have chung to their racla1 m

word "shekel," and uses 1t vaguely III

that it has been 20 centuries since

The first shekel appeared in 14S b.

The last Jewish coin was mace III %

against Rome. From that time uil.ii
the present day no coin has been mint
ed with Jewish characters appearing oii
it. H. ,o,,,s,,
The disappearance OF the JEWISH
coins from circulation Is attributed W
the fact that the Jews had no govern

such thing as Jewish state. ,..,,
The new coins bear jewish English

the strange mixture of peoples founo IN

Palestine during recent years.
Seven of these new coins were re-

Commission, who wrote to the Amerl-
can consul in Jerusalem recently asking
that they be sent to him.
Gilman Explains System.
In his reply, Vice Consul j. Thayer
Gilman explained the monetary system
in Palestine as follows:
1.-THE monetary unit IS the Palestine
pound, equal in value to the pound ster-
ling, or approximately $4.86. The Pales-
tine pound is divided into l,OOO mus
each mil being equal to one-halt cent
United States currency.
THE Palestine coin Of lowest denomi-
nation is the 1-mil piece. The next In
value is mills. These two pieces are
bronze. The three coins next in value
are of nickel, with hole through the
center. and are of denominations of 5
10 and 20 mills. These are followed by
the so and 100 mil pieces, which are OF
silver. These seven coins constitute the
complete set of metal currency in USE
at the present time and total in value
1873 mills, equal to about 81 cents.
LAS the three official languages Of
Palestine are English. Arabic and He.

cuts down the profits-you're bound
to overlook some of the cash in the
excitement.
1.-THE unexpected shooting In the
Lamar job cost us money.
After all, robbing a bank Is
financial proposition. You're there
to get everything in sight. We over
looked a lot of cash at Lamar be-
cause of the gunfire."
Suavely, the dignif1ed bandit
leader explained that he deeply re-
GREETED the murders at Lamar.
"Of course, We expected no shoot
ing" he said. And there shouldn't
have been any, but for the attempt
to protect the money by A. N. Par
rish, bank president.
Says Money Was Insured
"That money was insured. His
bank didn't stand to lose cent. He
shouldn't have moved finger. 1t
was most unfortunate, and started

those lives and now is about to

you consider the little fuss that

wholesale murders of the last war.
But that's different. That's
