Coinage Of Cents

indian cents were coined from
1853 to 1909 inclusive A few rare
ones, made of nickel, aluminium or
unusual alloys are at considerable
premium, but they are never seen
In circulation. The Lincoln cents
were first issued In 1909. Some of
those Of that year bear on the re-
verse the initials Of the designer.
Victor d. Bremen These were re-
moved before the end of the year.
Under the date on many Lincoln
cents appear the letters IS" and
3D." indicating that they were made
at the San Francisco or Denver
mints. The 1922 cent is the rarest
Of all modern ones. 1t sells at q
premium of few cents, and Is sell
dom to be seen In circulation. Only
q few more than 10000 Of that date
were issued.

No authentic record exists estab-

There IL some doubt as to how
the names of the seasons orig
mated. Spring is from the Anglo
Saxon Spring" meaning "a source
Of water, a springing, a rising or

the coming out Of young shoots 1t
this time OF the year. Summer n
from the Sanskrit "sama," meaning
year" Autumn is from the Latin
outumnus" - perhaps connected
9TH ~augere," past participle "auc-
tuS, meaning increase" autumn
being the season Of produce. Win
ter IL from the Gothic ''wintriss !;
probably originally It meant the

Classification Law
Proposed in Missouri

"A proposed amendment to the
constitution to give the State lesis-
lature the power to classify property
for taxation is before the Missouri
lawmakers now in session. The
proposed amendment, which the
Kansas City Real Estate Board has
been instrumental in bringing be.
fore the legislature. reads as fol-
lows:
"All kinds of property subject to
taxation may be classified by the
general assembly for the purpose of
taxation. Each class may be taxed
on such basis of valuation or in
such form as the general assembly
may provide. The rate of taxation
on each class shall be uniform"
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards regards the classifi-
cation of property for taxation as
fundamentally necessary as the
first step in bringing about a more
equitable incidence of taxation.

TIMES MODEL
HOME

During the week the TimesHerald
model home has been open in Sligo
Park Fills, hundreds of visitors
have inspected the house and ex.
pressed warm approval of the ar
rangement, furnishings, and con-
struction. The model home was
erected by the North Washington
Realty Company, developers OF
Sligo Park Hills, a new subdivision
in Montgomery county, Md.
More than l 400 visitors inspected
the model home last Sunday, and
q larger crowd is expected today
and tomorrow. The builders sug-
gekt that those who are able to do
so, visit the house in the morning
so as to permit more leisurely
and thorough inspection.
The model home represents the
better type of early American
architecture, and has been furnished
and decorated throughout by w. B.
Moses and Sons. The arrangem 1t
downstairs is attractive and un-
usual, relieving the sameness of
houses of this type by steps lead
Ing to the dining room and hall
Alcove.
Overdrapes Used
Overdrapes have been used in
the living room of medium weight
gold and rose damask, and the room
has been enlarged and heightened
by emitting the more conventional
valancei and hanging the over
drapes on new design short rods.
Glass curtains throughout the main
floor. have been adopted of the
tndestructible marquisette which is
particularly sheer, adding greatly
to the brightness of the rooms, and
at the same time preventing any
unpleasant glare.
Oriental rugs of attractive design
and motif have been chosen to pro-
duce rich and harmonious tone in
the furnishings. Rugs of this type,
the decorators point out, are not out
of place in the best Colonial homes.
even if the period were to be
strictly followed.
Another feature of the home that
drew the approval of visitors were
the selection of wallpapers for the
three bedrooms. They are Colonial
reproductions entirely suitable to
decorations and furnishings in keep.
ing with this type of home. and the
same period, making a harmonious
blending of the whole.
Lavender and Green
Due to the unsual brightness of
the west bedroom, it has been dec
GRATED in lavender and green, COM
bination that has always been pleas.
ing because of the theoretical fact
of the introduction into these two
colors of practically all others in
their makeup. The .drapes have
been chosen fairly heavy in this
room to offset the glare.
1t has been the aim of all con-
cerned in the model home to present
to the family of moderate means a
home hat meets all requirements
in planning, arrangement and con-
struction. The house is situated on
large lot, approximately one-quar-
ter of an acre in area. fronting on
two streets, just inside the entrance
to Sligo Park Hills.
The model home is reached by
going north on Georgia Avenue or
Sixteenth Street to the District line,
then following signs to the prop
erty.
