"Solid" Security Behind
Old Continental Money

Many and varied were the paper
notes issued in America during the
dark days Of the Revolutionary war.
One of the earliest was note issued
by the Sons of Liberty In Boston,
brought out in 177o to finance the
cause Of liberty, with a face value of
a shillings.
Paper money was in common use
in the Colonies from its enforced use
in Massachusetts in 1850. One of the
most interesting of the Continental
paper moneys was note issued in
Massachusetts IN 1880 for the purpose
Of financing the states quota In the
Continental army.
The note WAS backed up not by bull
lion. as at the present time. but by
definite measures of existing commodi-
Ties. Thus il carried this inscription:

DRAWS CROWD

MARsEILLES. France. Sept. IL
tP-when Mahatma Gandhi set
foot on Frances shores today he
had completed a 6.000-mile boat
trip to beard the British lion on
his own hearth and had spun
enough yarn-it was said-to reach
around the world
AS he walked down the gang
plank in his scant loin cloth, with
Miss Madeline Slade, his disciple.
at his heels, his lack OF attire was
o revelation to the blase French
people, who seemed to feel that
even a saint should e more
clothing.
Appearance Deceiving
The appearance OF India's mys-
teal leader in her non-violent
fight for independence was made
even more grotesque by q non
descript collection Of pots, pans
and q spinning wheel dangling
at his side. He hardly looked the
figure upon which II is agreed the
fate OF the second round table
conference depends.
But he soon dissipated whatever
prejudice existed against him be-
cause of his weird appearance by
casting an infectious smile upon
those who seemed TO regard MIN
as a fanatic. He submitted grace
fully to a volley OF questions from
French journalists, who had diff
c.slty in grasping his quaint biblical
English. enunciated in q lisping
voice.
The Mahatma looked a bit hag-
gard and anxious. for ne had lain
awake all night in anticipation Of
the great mission facing him at
London. Although he ate consider
able more food and had more sleep
aboard ship than in India. he adj
ded onlv two ounces TO his scant
95 pounds OF weight.
Throughout the fortnight's- voy-
age he pursued the same austere
life as at home. ignoring the
constant deck sports. dancing.
card playing and drinking going on
around him. He slept day and
night on the deck as peacefully a.
a child.
When asked by French customs
inspector whether he had anything
TO declare. Gandhi answered:
Declares Goods
II am a poor mend.cant. All my
earthly possessions consist OF these
spinning wheels, some dishes. q
can OF goats milk, six homespuri
loincloths, a towel and my reputa-
ton. which can't be worth much"
Have you any cigarettes, cigars,
alcohol. firearms or narcotics was
the next question.
"Oh. no, / neither smoke nor
drink" he replied, besides, being
an advocate of non-violence, ]
never carry firearms"
Next came the 70-year-old Pan
dit Malaviya, whose baggage con-
sisted largely of sacred mud and
water from the river Ganges-all
exempt from duty.
AS Gandhi was ushered to the
special train to Paris bv an English
general sent by Prime Minister
Macdonald. a British journalist
asked him bluntly II he would not
be ashamed to go about the streets
OF London and into the presence OF
King George in a loincloth.
wei. in England you wear
plus tours while I prefer to wear
minus fours." Gandhi replied with
a chuckle.
