CHECK LETTER ON BILLS INDICATES
WHETHER MONEY IS GOOD OR BAD
Simple Problem in Arithmetic Enables Holder to
Determine if Currency Is Genuine.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Is all your money good?
One way to find out is to check on
the small letter in the right lower
corner of currency. This was explained
to post Office clerks yesterday by the
department in pointing out number
of methods of telling good from bad
money.
The letter operation was described
as follows:
"The check letters on genuine notes
run from A to L and are synchronized
with the serial number on all but
national bank notes.
"By dividing the entire serial num-
Der by six, the remainder will indicate
the check letter, as follows:
If the remainder is
1, the check letter is A or G.
2, the check letter is B or H.
8, the check letter is c or I.

cate that the note is genuine. as the

For example, the serial number

remainder 20" and the letter in the

The department also urged the en-
ployes to memorize the portraits and
embellishments on the money SO as to
enable them to spot raised notes i'm
mediately.
If presented with note bearing

Authorities Add Five
Senses to Human BODY

Every normal person claims Eve
senses, and we have heard of a sixth,
proverbially counted as missing. Med
ical authorities now say we have ten
senses OF the Ave senses-hearing,
smell, sight. taste and touch-sight is
q triple sense. 1t includes perception
OF light, form and color. Touch also
includes several varieties; shape,
tickle sense, sense Of vibration and
sense OF pressure. Taste, smell and
hearing are simple uncomplicated
senses. OF the Ave other senses listed,
one IL temperature sense which en-
ables you to tell hot from cold by
means Of nerve endings In the skin.
There II the sensation from muscles,
joints and tendons which enables you
to sense movements of the body, or
position OF the arms and legs. The
third Is a sense Of upright position
supplied BY leveling mechanism close
to the inner ear. This enables you to
keep your balance Pain Is a sense by
itself; and the last Of the FIVE new"
senses Is one not perceived consciously
but which affects such automatic &C.
tions as breathing or the heartbeat

Oxford College First
Library to "CirculatA''

y
It 10 difficult to say who was the
originator of the circulating library.
There was q public library In ancient
Athens and one In ancient Rome In
the time Of Augustus: it appears that
books were occasionally borrowed from
this Roman library. Chambers Book
Of Days mentions IN early lending IL
brary In the reign Of Henry Nv (about
the year 1400) In Durham college, Ok.
ford; the rules permitted the loanine
Of books from this library to students
not belonging to the particular college,
who gave security Of sufficient value.
The first free library in England was
either Cheetham's library In Manches
ter, established In 1853. or one found
ed in Bristol by Redwood In 1915. In
this country Benjamin Franklin In
1874 founded the first public subscrip-
ton library In Philadelphia. His idea
may have come from q custom Of Eng
lish booksellers Of circulating books
for q small charge. Two American
booksellers. John Mein, of Boston, and
Garrat Noel, Of New York. had large
collections OF fiction and travel as
early as 1785. issuing catalogues Of
their books and charging % shillings
q year for this service. The free pub
lie circulating library as an institution
dates only from the Nineteenth Gen.

Tennessee Prison Wardens
Are Charged With Brutality

Memphis, Tenn.-The Protestant
pastors of Memphis began a probe
OF conditions at Brushy mountain and
Nashville state penitentiaries. The
probe resulted from a series of three
newspaper articles by Rex Crosby, a
former convict, charging the prison
wardens with extreme brutality in
their treatment of prisoners.
DR.. Robert A. George, a member
OF the Investigating committee, said:
IF these charges are true the bru-
talities in our state prisons smack of
the Dark Ages. We are very much
concerned and agitated over the sit
uation, and if such conditions exist
they are disgrace to our state"

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-At-

that until the courts take opposite
action, the coal tariff of 10 cents per
hundred pounds must stand, most IA
vored nation treaties to the contrary
notwithstanding. Great Britain and
Germany have protested the levy, but
under the new ruling their recourse
must be in the course, if at all. The

to set aside the orders have been
overruled. In one case, concern was
granted temporary writ of prohi-
bltlon by the Missouri supreme court
restraining Judge Harris and the re-
ceiver from further action, but the
supreme court later denied a perma-
nent writ. This is defeat of Salary
buyers and places the matter back
in the Kansas City courts.
The Missouri small loan law is de-
fective in that it does not contain the

visions of the model law, salary pur-
chases and assignments are loans

COOPERATION
FIRST NEED
BY MATTHEW WOLL

We need cooperation within Amer
lean industry during 1888 and we need
it without delay. Our nation as a
whole is in trouble. 1t is not merely
trouble for a single group or a few
groups, but for all of us and there
must be cooperation on the part Of
all to beget recovery.
We need to undertake concentra-
ton upon national problems, Amer
ican problems. Internationalism may
be an idealistic profession, but it can
likewise be a mistaken one. The world
is not helped by protesting interna-
.tionalism, while America goes to
pieces.
We enter 1888 facing change in
government. Many find hope in that
fact. | should like to give warning
against too much dependence upon
government. Government can, and we
hope will, be helpful. But govern
ment cannot and should not do all
things. We shall pay dearly for every
step toward paternalism and bureau
cracy.
The greatest safeguard against too
much dependence upon government is
cooperation between voluntary
groups within industry. We have no
condition that cannot be remedied
with the instruments at our COM
mand. We have no need for despair
if we but use the tools that are at
our command.
