Stages of Civilization
Recorded by Currency

Money, according to Fararn Zerbe,
former president of the American MI
mlsmatic association, is a historian of
the first rank.
Money Is documentary record OF
the progress of man and the stages of
civilization. Coins are imperishable
manuscripts In metal, unfolding a con-
else story of the reflnements and en-
ergy Of the people producing them.
The history of money for the past
5000 years is also a history of man
kind.
Coins indicate to what estate has
risen the art, architecture and metal
lurgy of a people; mythology and re-
ligiOn here are craven in imperishalNe
record. Greece In all her glory and
Rome before the fall of the empire are
portrayed for all to see In the bushels
Of coins uncovered by modern excava-
ton.
The deterioration which followed the
universal tragedy Of dead empire Is
reflected in the barbarously crude
coins of the Middle ages. Money tells
story of conquest and siege, of VIC
tory and defeat, of culture and igno-
rance. Money records lost causes,
tells of the rise and fall of the affairs
Of men; 1t suggests civilizations de-
stroyed and forgotten.

Oripin of "Eora" Ohscura

The origin of "Fore!" is yelled in
antiquity, says an article In the New
York Times. No satisfactory explana-
ton can be found as to the time and
method of its entrance as an accepted
expression in "the Royal and Ancient
Game of GOff," which received its first
notice as trouble maker in the Scot
land Of 1857. "Fore!" is defined in
Jamison's Scottish dictionary, pub
lished in 1920, as "a cry Of golfers
to persons standing or moving in the
way Of the ball." Probably, according
to present-day authorities, the word
began as "Before!" and, with proper
Scottish regard for economy, was
shortened to its present form.
