England Defaults in
Debt Payment Again
Finland Only Nation Expected
to Pay U. S.; Great Britain
Owes $668, 474,O71

Again Great Britain defaults on its
war debt payment to the United
States, advising the Washington gov
eminent Monday that inability to
pay the semi-annual installment due
June Is was due to reasons mo less
valid now" than when it first SUI
spended payments in 1884.
In note transmitted to Secretary
Hull by Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
ambassador, formal notice was given
that Great Britain did not intend to
pay the $668, 474,O71 installment
falling due this month.
The notice from the British gov
eminent brought no surprise. Eleven
other nations were expected to fol-
low the same course. None of the
war debtor nations except Finland
was expected to pay. That little
country, whose payments are almost
trivial, had never defaulted.
A political writer in Paris news
paper predicted Wednesday that
Italy would make 'token" pay
ment on it's war debt installment to
the United States, in order to escape
the Johnson law ban on additional
loans by United States citizens or
corporations to debtor nations.

NEW WAY TO KEEP
BIRDS OUT OF TREES

HICKORY, June 14.-How to save
a crop of cherries from the birds was
solved this season for the first time
by George F. Ivey, well known
Hickory furniture manufacturer.
He had a tree of particularly
choice cherries in his back yard, but
marauding birds were making short
work of the ripening fruit until he
hit upon a plan.
A pulley was mounted in the top
of the tree, through which small
rope was drawn. Next live cat was
placed in cage, the cage attached
to the rope and the captive feline
pet was hoisted to do sentry duty
over the fruit. The scheme worked
to perfection. When the birds flew
into the cherry tree, they promptly
sensed danger. In the shape of their
most deadly enemy-the cat. Thus
the cherries were safe.
In order that the society for pre-
vention Of cruelty to animals would
have no cause for complaint, Mr.
Ivey secured two additional cats, SC
as to work them in three shifts OF
eight hours each. At stated times ap-
proximately at eight hour intervals
therefore, the cage was lowered. q
new cat substituted and the tired pet
given a good meal as well as 16
hours sleep.

Farley Criticizes COP.
Platfornas Weakest Yet
LARGEST MINT IN u. S.

The largest mint in the United
States has put on an extra shine for
the throngs of visitors it expects
have in June when the Democratic
national convention meets in Phila-
delphia.
For the Philadelphia mint is not
only the largest of the three in the
United States but the oldest as well.
1t was started in 1871, shortly after
the constitution was put into effect
in the same city-then the capital OF
the nation.
Thousands of visitors make tours
of the great mint annually, to see
the cookie-like process of fashioning
the nations coins, the engraving
shop where dies for all American
coins and many foreign ones are
made, and the shop which turns out
machines and delicate but huge
scales for local as we'll as Denver
and San Francisco federal bullion
factories. The United States minis
manufacture coins for many foreign
countries also, in their spare time.
"By all indications, 1886 will be
an exceptionally good year for Uncle
Sans Philadelphia money factory"
according to Edwin H. Dressed, SUI
perintendent of the mint and men,
Der of the special events group Of
the All Philadelphia citizens COM
mittee on arrangements for the
Democratic national convention.
Dressed can give an interesting re-
port on the coinage for months and
years. One of the largest years the
mint has ever had was 1885, he re-
vealed, except for the boom peak OF
1919. Last year a total Of more than
4O5 million pieces of domestic hard
cash were releaved through the Fed
eral Reserve banks of the eastern
half of the country. Of this number
little more than a third were
pieces of silver. The total value was
$25,572,11
In 1885, however, nothing but
pennies were minted and, of these,
only 1920, 00O-having a combined
value of course of $143,600.
And if you want to know the most
popular fashions in money that
jingles reports can tell that too.
Pennies aside, more quarters than
anything else were manufactured in
1884 in Philadelphia, while ncikels
and dimes led the march for 1885.
AS for the money riddle posed by
the superintendent of the largest
mint, it's this: where do the pennies
go? Tank loads of them are turned
out every day, he said, and none of
them ever come back. Other nom
current or worn-out coins return to
the mint for re-me1ting and renewal.

Principal in Famous
Monkey Trial. Now
Taking i Easy inTex.
Scopes Brought on Great Word
Battle Between Bryan
and barrow

John Thomas Scopes, the slender
sandy haired, Dayton, Tenn, school
teacher who rocketed to evolution
trial headlines 10 years ago, lives
quietly today on the outskirts OF
Houston, Tex, happy in his work as
a geologist for an oil and gas COM
pany.
In appearance, Scopes is much the
same as he was 10 years ago when
his teachings precipitated that fam
GUS courtroom duel between William
Jennings Bryan and Clarence OAR
row. Three years in the tropics with
an oil company made his hair little
thinner, yet at 35 he is still youthful.
Much of his time now is spent in
"roughing it" in the field, reporting
to his company on production, drill
ing operations and leasing activities.
When he was teaching at Dayton
he was just out of the University of
Kentucky and was single. While in
Venezuela he met Miss Mildred Wal
KEEP, tall, attractive brunette from
Charleston, S. c., whose father was
in business there. She is now Mrs.
Scopes and there is a young John T.
Scopes, Jr.
Taught Prohibited Subject
Scopes was tried on charges that
he taught the theory of evolution in
his classes-teaching prohibited by
statute in Tennessee. Bryan, "the
great fundamentals" joined the
prosecution, thus lifting the case to
national notice, and barrow went to
Scopes defense. Scopes was found
guilty. Bryan died the Sunday fol-
lowing the return of the verdict.
Scopes says the publicity attend
ant upon the monkey trial" did not
hurt him particularly.
For a while it got on my nerves
for so many persons to ask questions
about it," he said, "but I soon got
used to that, and now I can answer
all the questionings without think
ing"
Scopes still holds to the same be-
liefs that he had as a teacher. 81
have no apologies for anything I did
but I wouldn't want to go through
that trial again. much prefer my
life as it is today" he said.
"Of course, the famous legal lights
took much of the play away from
me. My only regret is that they did
not steal the spotlight more.
''That brought an abrupt end to
my career in the schoolroom. I have
often thought I would like to try
teaching again, but I guess I won't

German Tonsorial Artists Strive to Make Vis-

BERLIN, Jan 6.-Berlins barbers also are preparing for the 1886 Olym- pic Games.
 The visitor is to be shaved, shorn or shampooed in the manner to which he is accustomed at home, whether that be Brazil, Spain, the United States, Sweden or elsewhere. And so far as possible the talkative barber will chatter Olympic gossip in the visitors own language, or at least in one with which the customer is familiar.
 Gradually, the proprietors of bar bershops on streets likely to be heav- fly frequented by Olympic visitors are filling out their staffS with men of experience in foreign countries. Thus a big shop will have one man who not only speaks Swedish and English as well as German, but has worked in Scandinavian and British cities.
 He will have the job of making Sxedes, Norwegians and Britishers feel at home by assisting them in Ithe linguistic difficulties of a shave or haircut, at the same time seeing to it that they get what they would expect at home. Barbers who have worked in the United States are teaching their colleagues the hot towel technique For hot towels with a shave are an American" pecul- iarity here, something the average Berlinerf only hears about.
