An exhibit of ancient Jewish coins
symbolic of the Maccabean period,
displayed at a Jewish theological
seminary in New York recently,
presented an interesting insight into
the customs and laws of that early
day.
The coins, struck in the two CEN
turtles preceding and following the
start Of the Christian era, are of
silver, gold and copper. They are
of two classifcations those struck
by the Jews themselves and those
minted by their various Roman gov
errors.
Because Jewish law forbids the
use of craven images, there are few
portrait heads in the collection. The
most common decorative motifs are
sacred objects-the jug, the palm
branch, the citron, the holy taber-
nacle, trumpet, the Menorah and
the palm tree, the last symbol Of
plenty in Palestine.
There is little of artistic merit in
the collection. Apparently the Mac
cabean coins were strictly utilitari-
an, for the Jews who coined them
wasted little time displayed at the
Jewish Theological beautiful. Many
of them have been struck over old
Roman coins, and in their haste the
Jewish craftsmen failed to oblit-

Chapter 2 New Clues in "Soot Mystery" C al Companies on
 "The Spot".

The big soot mystery took on a new angle today when the health department received complaints from residents of the Cooke street that it was coming from a North End factory.
 Earlier the soot had been bla1n- ed on Driggs school but Controller Martin J. Sweeney said today that the firm which sold the city the coal being used there denied that the coal was at fault and said it would welcome a test of 1t for grade and quality.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, said that com- plaints about the soot nuisance have dropped off greatly since Monday. That day residents ill an area of many blocks protested that soot was coming in through windows and doors, yuining washings, discloring wallpaper and damaging exteriors of homes.
 Some of the complaints were from persons living beyond the west side of Willow street, and Dr. Godfrey said he did not see how soot could travel that far from the North End.

 T volunteered in the World War because I had a farm in Canada and they said I was in the army to pro- tect my farm from the Germans. But after I came back I found it wasn't the Germans but the people I had gone to fight for against whom I needed protection"

BANKS $5O,OOO
 WHILE ON RELIEF

Newport, R.. l.. Nov. 1-(UP)- Anthony Cassetta, 59, banked over $50,000 during six years he was on the relief rolls. the internal revenue department reported today
 A dealer in Polish and Italian se- curities, Cassetta recently was forced to pay 4,000 back income taxes, of- ficials said as they turned the case over to the department of justice for investigation.
 Frankly admitting he took relief jobs while he had money in the bank, Cassetta said the bonds he had might become worthless as re- suit of the war and that "a man can't be left with nothing for his old age"
 Cassetta had worked on WPA or state relief agencies since 1883. The federal government doubted that it could recover any of the money, but the state planed immediate action to try to regain the funds 1t supplied him.
