JUNGLE RAYS CORNER

Twenty-Five hundred years ago,
the Romans began to mint silver
coins in a temple on one OF the
hills of Rome. The temple had been
built in honor of the goddess Juno,
and had the special name of Juno
Moneta."
The ''Moneta" part of the name
seems to have meant warning" or
who gives warning" We are not
quite certain about the early mean
ing, but it is clear that our word
money" came from "Moneta." In
other words, present-day coins are
known as money because they hap
pened to be minted in a certain
temple long ago.
There are other little "stories in
words" which we might mention
while speaking of mints and money.
The Romans had another word for
money, and 1t came from their name
for cattle. This pointed to the time
when Romans used cattle instead of
coins to measure the value of things.
The "fee" of doctors and lawyers
also goes back to cattle. The word
"fee" grew out of an Anglo-Saxon
word which meant cattle. Its history
can be traced to the old languages
of Germans, Norsemen and Dutch,
and in each case it meant cattle or
money.
The Chinese seem to have been
the inventors Of paper money.
When Marco Polo travelled in Cathay
(that is, In ChinA six and a half
centuries ago, he found that money

in the form Of paper was passing
from hand to hand.
At a later time in Europe, gold
smiths started the custom of writing
promises that they would pay a Ger
tain number of coins when asked
to do so. These promises, written on
paper, were paper money OF a sort.
Still later, the governments of
nations In Europe began to print
paper money. The money was a
promise to pay. 1t was given the
same power as metal coins when

meant that any one could pay debt
with paper money, the same as with

Unless a government has q great

Germany and Russia are among the
nations which found this out after
the close of the World War.
When I was in Munich in the
summer of 1923, I was able to obtain

Then I went to a hotel, and said to
the hotel keeper, II would like to

c. B. S. Wins Extension
For Trunsmitter Work

The Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
TEN today was granted an extension
of SIX months to complete its pro-
posed new transmitting station near
Wheaton, Md. The Federal Com
munications Commission today fixed
May 20, 1910, as the time when the
construction must be completed.
November 20 had been fixed in
the original construction permit
issued by the Communications
Commission. Harry C. Butcher,
vice president in charge of the
Washington Office of the net
work. said that a steel-handlers'
strike and other factors had pre-
vented them from completing the
new station within the specified
time. Also, he said, a new type of
construction is being used for the
new transmitter and it requires
more careful construction than
usual.
Another problem, he said, was the
placement of the steel beams which
will support the roof over the entire
building.
Mr.. Butcher said that although
the extension of time was given
until next May 20, after a confer
ence with the contractors and radio
engineers, he was quite certain that
WJSV would be on the air from
its new transmitter not later than
