First u. S. Nickel Was
Coined in Year of 1866

The first five-cent piece was
coined in 1866. This was more than
two hundred years after the date
when the first silver coins were used
in America. These were the New
England shilling, sixpence and
threepence, made in simple thin
planchetS of silver having N. E.
stamped on one side, and XII, vi or
III stamped on the other. The first
nickel showed the United States
shield. surmounted by a cross with
sections of an olive wreath pendent
at each side. On the reverse was
the circle of thirteen stars and rays
enclosing large IS"
The next year, according to a
writer in the New York Times,
there were two types of nickel
fives," one in the original style and
another with the rays" omitted
from the reverse.
In 1888 there was an entire change
in the style Of the five-cent coin.
Two varieties were issued. On the
observe of both was Liberty head,
facing left, with a coronet on the
forehead, inscribed Liberty" The
hair here is knotted, with a single
curl escaping down the neck: six
stars front the face with seven
above and behind the head.
On the reverse of one 1883 issue
is Roman ''V'' encircled by two
half wreaths of corn, cotton, wheat
and tobacco. The ends are joined
beneath by ribbon. The legend;
United States of America" is
around the border. The motto "E
Pluribus Unum," which first APP
peared on the haf-eagle in 1895, APP
pears in smaller letters on this
nickel.
On the. reverse Of the second Of
the two five-cent coins issued in
1883 there is the same ''V'' and
wreath, but the exergue is changed
to read Gents" The legend is the
same as the first coin in this series
with an ''o'' at each end. "E
Pluribus Unurn" is transferred to
the field above the wreath and be-
tween it and the legend.

PLAN CENSUS
IN PHILIPPINES
Third Population Count to
Get Under Way There
on October 3
BY DON DILLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

MANILA, p. l.. Sept. -. (UP)
The Philippine islands, where the
population has approximately
doubled in 40 years Of American
rule. will take their third and
most complete census October ).
Counting noses is Il big job IN
an archipelago of some 1000 is
lands. about half of which are in
habited. A corps Of 1000 super
visors, $4,000 enumcratorS and
5000 special enumerators is be-
ing trained for an attempt to COM
plete the task in one day. Com
plete tabulation will require more
than year.
Horses, bicycles, outrgigel> ca
noes. steamships and automobiles
will be used by the enumeratorS
to cover almost all the inhabited
areas in the Philippines.
Every effort is being made TO
overcome the difficulties encoun-
tered in the two previous census
es, when the population Of dis
tant islands and remote inland
settlements was simply estimated.
COMPLETE SURVEY PLANNED
1--WE are bound to miss a few
people," Assistant Census Com
missioner Vicente Mills told the
United Press. "But when we are
finished we will have the most
complete survey ever made OF
Philippines population, industries,
education and agriculture.
Emphasizing the remotenesS OF
some areas, Mills recalled two
aviators forced down on an island
off the coast of Luzon year ago
found the only inhabitants were
a couple who had never heard of
President Manuel L. Quezon or
the Philippines commonwealth.
Ray Hurley, statistician for the
territorial, inSular and foreign
divisions Of the United States
bureau of the census, came from
Washington six months ago to
serve as technical adviser until
the census is completed.

; Seven thousand physicians ana
medical experts from all parts OF
the nation concluded convention
business after taking a firm stand
against experiments in Sociall2ed
medicine and exchanging scores OF
new theories for use in combating
mankind's ills.
DR.. Henry A. Luce, Detroit, ad-
dressing the final session, cited
statistics showing that one person
out of every % can expect to spend
some portion of MS life in a men,
tai institution and challenged medi-
cal science to enter aggreSSively in
the fight against insanity.
"The next great battle, Dr. Luce
said, lis in the field of mental dis
ease. Psychiatrists alone cannot
solve the problem. The general prac-
titioner occupies the key situation
in the field of mental health
"The loss of the stabilizing in
fluence of the true family doctor
in the adjustment of emotional ills
of the patient is by no means the
least of the multitudinous argu-
ments against the socialization OF
medicine. Human beings cannot be
treated by mass therapy like hogs
sheep and cattle" he said.
