be very small to be easily computed,
the coins should be Of decimal ratio.
Suggested Quarter eB Lowest.
He suggested that the quarter be
the lowest coin. That 10 quarters
make penny. 10 pennies a bill, 10
bills dollar, 10 dollars crown.
Congress listened to the plan and,
after the fashion of Congresses. laid it
aside for a year. In 1888, 1t was taken
up again and laid aside for another
year In 1884, it was referred to a
committee Of which Jefferson was a
member.
Jefferson alalyzed the plan, said
that the Morris unit would be 1-l44O
Of dollar. He added:
The general views Of the f1nancier
were sound, and the principle was
ingenious on which he proposed to
found his unit: but it was too minute
for ordinary use, too laborious for
computation, either by the head or in
figures. The price Of loaf of bread,
! 20 Of dollar. would be 70 units; a
pound of butter, IS Of a dollar, 29S
units.
Saw System UnmanageabIe.
Such a system of money arithmetic
would be entirely urmanageable for
the common purposes of society. l
proposed, therefore. instead of this,
to adopt the dollar as our unit of
account and payment. and that its
divisions and subdivisions should be
in decimal ratio. I wrote some notes
on the subject which I submitted to
the consideration Of the financier.
Il received his answer and adher-
ence to his general system, only agree
ing to take for his unit 100 Of those
he first proposed. so that a dollar
would be IA 40-100 I replied to this
and printed my notes and reply on a
flying sheet which 1 put into the
hands of the members Of Congress
for consideration and the committee
agreed to report on my principle
A complete outline of the Jefferson
plan, with full set of reasons for the
various points, was provided in that
correspondence.
The plan of Jefferson called for six
coins. At the top came the $40 gold
piece. fifth more than the half Joe,
fifteenth more valuable than the
double guinea. Next was the silver
dollar, the unit Of coinage; the silver
half dollar, the silver double-t tenth,
equal to pistareen; the tenth, equal
to a Spanish bit, and the hundredth
OF a dollar, or copper. Before Con-
gress finished with the plan, half
penny had been added.
Gold Pieces Vanished.
That is almost the coinage system
Of today, save for an upper structure
Of paper money to take care of big
sums. The $40 gold piece vanished
when gold was taken out of circulation
few years ago. The silver double
tenth was replaced many years ago
by the quarter dollar. The half
penny that Congress added has long
since disappeared. But the copper re-

RITES TOMORROW
FOR DALRYMPLE.
Head Of White House Police
Force to Be Buried in
Cedar Hill.

Funeral services will be held at $50
pm. tomorrow for Capt Clarence L.
Dalrymple, head Of the White House
police force, who died suddenly Friday
night The rites will be conducted by
the Rev Clifford H. Jope at Ninth
Street Christian Church and burial
will be in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Attached to the White House 40
years. Capt. Dalrymple had worked as
usual Friday. and was en- route to his
home at 149 Kentucky avenue Sc.
when stricken with q heart attack
Taken to the nearby residence of DR..
Adolph But1. in the 400 block of
Eighth street Sc, he was removed
to Casualty Hospital. where he was
pronounced dead on arrival.
Informed Of his death, President
Roosevelt, friend OF many years
eulogized the officer as "a fine example
Of public servant"
Joined Force in 1898.
Capt. Dalrymple. who was in his
69th year. is survived by his widow
and two sons Robert and Charles and
a daughter, Eleanor; two grandchil-
dren and a brother, Earl Dalrymple,
Of this city.
Clarence Dalrymple-"Dal" to his
lntlmates-joined the White House
police force in 1898, when William Nc
Kinley was President Six years later
ne became a sergeant, and in 1890,
when the force was reorganized and
placed under the Secret Service, he
was elevated to a captaincy.
Most Of his days were spent in the
lobby OF the executive Offices. and his
acquaintances in public and private
life ran into the thousands. His
memory for faces was unfailine. and
always there was a friendly greeting
Tor those he knew: likewise, a kindly
question for strangers.
Spotted Trouble Makers.
Capt. Darymple also had an un-
canny ability for spottlng potential
trouble makers who periodically put
IN appearance at the White House
determined to lay troubles-real or
inaaginary-before the President. In
the Taft administration he over
powered a husky visitor by the name
OF Strickland. who was bent on seeing
the President. and relieved him of a
large caliber revolver.
Capt Dalrymple vas q native Of
Ohio and started in life as a puddler
IN a steel mill, The panic of 1893
threw him out of employment. and he
came to Washington to visit his father,
pension examiner. The young
ohioan was appointed to the Metro
politan police force in the course of
that visit, and from there went on to
the White House.

Linguistic Catcher

Moe Berg, veteran catcher of the
Boston Red Sox, is probably the
most highly educated player in the
big leagues. He is an erudite stu
dent of languages and successful
practicing attorney. AS an under
graduate he made the Princeton
university baseball team as a short
stop. When he left Princeton he
had made up his mind to be law
yer and decided on baseball ca
reer to provide the money.
So he joined the Brooklyn club as
an infielder in 1928. He went to
Paris that winter and attended the
University of Paris, extending his
hobby of studying Romance Ian
guages. That one year at the Sor-
bonnie added to his Princeton
studies enabled him to read Latin,
Greek, French, Provencal, Spanish,
Italian, and Portuguese, in addition
to Hebrew and English. When he
was ten years old he had read the
five books of the Mosaic law in the
original Hebrew. In recent years
he has become expert in Japanese.

accomplishments never helped me

and he caught sight of their brown

made.
"Ai, those twol" he exclaimed,
and took after Fray Rubi and Fray
Gill. Before he reached them, they
had dismounted by an Indian maid
en- walking in the tall yellow mus
tard by the roadside. She wore moth
ing at all but big basket balanced
on her shining black head and tiny
apron of rushes.
At sight of the two monks she
giggled, and made as though to slip
away from them. Just as Don Pc
dro reached the spot, the two were
trying to detain her in most un-
priestly manner.
The Governor raised his whip and

"Oh, your Excellency!" babbled
the monks, one after the other.

"Ahl" she breathed. "Ah! A-ah!"
She glanced swiftly at her husband.
He was looking at the girl, smiling
absently.

SYNOPSIS

In Spanish-governed California of 1888
conflict between Church and State is repre-
sented by two friendly enemies, frail old
Fray Junipero Sierra, Franciscan mission
airy, and Don Pedro FACES, civil governor.
After telling Sierra he Is sending to Mexico
for his wife and son, whom he has not seen
for eight years, he refuses his aid toward
founding the Santa Barbara Mission. In
Mexico City. Dona Eulalia. accompanied by
her duenna, Angustias, arrives at the en-
bassy in response to letter from her hus-
band. Don Pedro. She agrees to go to Cali
fornia. Don Pedro sends for Sierra. telling
him that two priests are on their way from
Mexico with Eulalia and young Pedro and
that he is leaving to meet them. FACES en-
cages young Indian girl. IndiZuela, as
maid for Eulalia. Eulalia sails from San
Bias. It Is desolate trip. From the port of
Loreto. a large cavalcade loaded with Eu-
lalia's party starts out for the long overland
comfort, bitterly regrets having been per-
suaded to come. The two priests. Fray
Mariana and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her
and arouse her suspicious as to their genu-
ineness. As the cavalcade stops at various
missions. Eulalia hears rumors of the ap-
proach of her husband. While Don Pedro
plans great fiesta to welcome his wife,
Eulalia plans her costume. Don Pedro pre-
pares the great fiesta and welcomes his
beautiful wife and young son. Eulalia Is
toasted as the Queen of the CALIFORNIA;. On
the long journey to Monterey, the reunited
couple are royalty entertained at the Pre-
sidio at San Diego. Eulalia disapproves of
the democratic relations of Don Pedro and

of the feast she leaves.

fold like morning glories when the
season opens and some of the ap-
parently washed-up veterans will
grab new lease on life.
The rumors, of course, don't point
the finger at all the established
hands. Lou Gehrig, the Yankee iron
man, for instance, couldn't be blast
ed out of his job with TINT. And
Hank Greenberg can wager his last
five-spot that the Detroit Tigers
aren't going to move him, not only
because of his steady walloping,
but because of the tempest that
was stirred up when Gerald Walker
was traded to the White Sox.
But elsewhere it may be radically
different. The Chicago Cubs, for
instance, have publicly announced
that Rip Collins will be succeeded
at first by Phil Cavaretta. Sea-
s0ned baseball followers, however,
don't think it will be tough for Rip
to get his job back.
Over in Washington they say Joe
KuheIs job is going to young Jim
Wadse1 and at Boston it is reported
that the Red Sox are toying with the
idea of shifting Jimmy Foxx back
of the plate and making a try for
Zeke Bonura of the Chicago White
Sox. In St. Louis they say the
Browns may station outfelder Beau
Bell on the initial sack to succeed
Harry Davis. And stories persist
that the New York Giants may wind
up with either Buddy Hassett of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, or Dolph
Carnilli of the PhillieS
