Bankers shy from it in this connection.
1t is believed, however, that a central

TURNED INTO TREASURY
Mrs. Robert H. Dunlap Exchanges
$25 for Greenbacks AS an
Example.

Mrs Robert H. Dunlap, 1853 K street.

turn it in to the Treasury and get paper

changed them for greenbacks.
Explaining her action, she said today,
at remember that in England in 1881
everybody turned in all their gold, even
their wedding rings. Then I remem-
bered these coins that I received at
Christmas, so I thought I might be able
to set an example. We are as patriotic
as the English"
Mrs. Dunlap is the widow OF Gen.
