that Americans should teach them
how to handle American machines.
They'll be here for six months
in England as mechanics, radio op-
orators and machine gunners.
AS to what they do for athletics,
they told me, I'VE 60 to the beach.
It's swell down there. We do miss
not seeing the English football
games"
They have played softball base
ball and many of them like it better
than cricket, but none of them has
seen hard baseball game. What
they are really enthused about at
present is the prospect of seeing
American football.
For recreation, they like to dance
Ones already jitterbug. II can do
it bit and it's jolly good fun,"
he confessed.
Their drinking is confined to beer,
but they really miss their good old
English stout and the fish and chips
which goes with it. However. they
admit the American hamburger
makes up for fish and chips and
wish England would import some to
feed them over there.
They're also beginning to like
iced tea. And when an Englishman
admits he is beginning to like what
he considers an abuse of a great in
Stitution, then he's half American
already.

No flag was left off of Monticello, the home of Jefferson, on the five. cent pitce which bears the portrait of the famous President, despite runors that 1t was erroneously omitted from the design, but there Is an important addition to the coin. The motto, Tn God We Trust, was placed on 1t, thus af- firming on all current coins issued by the United States the dependence of the nation upon Divine guidance.
 The religious motto was first placed on United States coins dur ing Civil War days when the tn- ternal condition of the country was disrupted and the people were fright ened and uneasy as to the outlook, and 1t has now been added to the las issue of coins during similar period of worldwide horror and unrest.
 Tn the dreaded crisis of the Civil War, an increased religious senti. ment arose in the United States. The first suggestion for recognition of the Deity on the coins was contained in letter of November 13, 1881, addressed to Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, by the Rev. M. R. Watkinson, administer of Ridleyville, Pa. His letter said in part, What If our republic were now shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding cen- turie srightly reason from our past that we were @ heather nation? What propose Is that instead of the goddess of Liberty we have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words perpetual union:' within this ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye, the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of States united; in the folds of the bars the words. God, liberty, law"
 The Rev. Watkinson's design never was adopted, but on November 30, 1861, Secretary Chase wrote to the Director of the Mint in Philadelphia saying mo nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins" ," He further ordered, "You will cause a device to be prepared without un- necessary delay with Q motto ex- pressing in the fewest words possible this national recognition"
 It was found that Congressional action was necessary to add any motto on the coins to those already authorized. Tn December, 1883, when the Director of the Mint sub- mitted to the Secretary of the Treasury for approval designs for new 1, 2, and 8 cent pieces, 1t was proposed that one og the following ! metlces alosilf anpeeks .ouE eo.inr

try: our God" God, our Trust" The Secretary approved the sug- gestion but changed the wording to read: Tn God We Trust" By Act of Congress of April a, 1884, the Director of the Mint was per. niitted to fix the devices on the 2. cent piece and 1t was upon this coin that the new motto first appeared. It was specified by Act of March 3, 1865, that 1t be inscribed on the gold and silver coins of the United States, and "In God We Trust" was put on the gold double cages, the eagles, and half-eagles and the silver dol lars, half and quarter-dollars minted in 1866. It has appeared on. all gold and silver coins since, except taht 1t was left off of the gold and silver double eagel and eagle of the new design that appeared in 1907. The omission was quickly noticed and in response to a gen- eral demand from the public, Con- gress ordered the motto restored in 1908.
 The use of the religious motto on minor coins was left to the dis cretion of the Secretary of the Treasury by the coinage Act of February 12, 1873. It has been placed on the bronze two-cent pieces and appeared on the nickel flee cent pieces from 1868 to 1883. No one-cent piece bore the motto until the Lincoln design was adopted in 1909. It was not included in the design for the five-cent pieces adopted in 1883 and also was left off of the Buffalo five-cent piece, but its addition to the Jefferson five-cent piece for the first time places on all coins being issued the statement of the nations faith and trust in God.
