Money Exchange
At Army Hospital

The finance officer in any Army
installation has lot of headaches.
At Newton D. Baker General Hospi-
tai at Martinsburg, w. Va, his prob
lem is especially complicated.
To Newton D. Baker come veter-
ans of overseas action who for
months have been paid either in the
exchange of the country in which
they fight or with foreign currency
issued from their nearest base. In
some cases, the pockets of return
ing casualties are stuffed with for
eign bills, or American Invasion
money.
This is especially true of men re-
turning from the European theatre
of operations. Veterans of the
Southwest Pacific, a more remote
battle region, sometimes go without
payment for lengthy periods. Their
money in United States bills is
waiting for them upon return to the
United States.
For men carrying foreign bills, an
exchange is made at the finance Of
flee of the hospital. In charge of
Lieutenant B. H. Bardin, the finance
office is prepared to turn foreign
money into American money at a
rate set by the War Department.
American Invasion money is re-
deemable at face value. The British
East Africa shilling is worth 20
cents and a fraction The Union of
South Africa pound goes for $4035
and the British West Africa pound
for $4.055.
The French African franc, in wide
circulation at the hospital since
many of the patients come from that
theatre of operations, is worth 2
cents. The Aruba, Netherlands,
West Indies, guilder brings a trife
more than So cents. The Australian
pound is rated at 1929.
The Egyptian pound is worth
$4.138, the Great Britain and North
Ireland pound $4.O35, and the New
Zealand pound $32442.
Other rates of exchange include
the Iceland krona, about 151a cents,
the Indian rupee, 1913 cents, the Iraq
rial, 3.125 cents, the Iraw dinar,
$4.0425, the Surinam, Dutch Guiana,
guilder, 1888 cents, and the Trini-
dad B.W.I. dollar, BAIT cents.
The rate of exchange on the Ca
madam dollar is 90.91 cents and the
Newfoundland dollar is the same.
The Brazil cruzeiro is rated as
5.842 cents and the Barbados, British
West Indies B.W.I. dollar bring
BAIT cents.
So far at the Newton D. Baker
General Hospital, English and Aus
tralian pounds, Dutch guilders,
Italian Ira, French African francs
and American Invasion money have
received the greatest attention. The
money is collected upon presenta-
ton and sent to Columbus, Ohio, the
headquarters of the Fifth Service
Command, which exercises jurisdic-
ton over the hospital.

eaten twelve tomatoes in row
just the day before.
"Shucks," said Doc. "That's all
that's the matter with you. That
kind of eating would turn any

So now Matt has not only cut
out all tomatoes for himself.
He's forbidden his family to eat
tomatoes. And won't even have
them in the house. Says tOma-

Funny how some people rush

take a wholesome thing and
overdo it till it disagrees with
them-or maybe find they don't
happen to like it-and then they

Items of Interest
From Entire State

Victory gardeners will again be
granted special gasoline rations to
travel to and from their garden
plots this summer, the Maryland
OPA has announced.
Maryland's State Guard during
the last two years has lost more
than 5000 men to the armed serv-
ices, Brig. Gen. Dwight H. Mohr,
commanding officer of the militia,
disclosed Thursday.
After they pleaded guilty in
Criminal Court, Baltimore. to a
charge of assaulting and attempting
to rob man in Baltimore, three
army privates from Fort George G.
Meade were sentenced to ten years
each in the Maryland Penitentiary.
Clarence I. Leavy, Baltimore, was
sentenced to three months impris-
onment on a charge of causing his
children to be delinquents Mildred
FELTON,, colored, was given a similar
sentence on like charge. Mrs. An
ma Meeks, mother of 8 children, was
given a three-months' suspended
sentence after she promised she
would give her children better
training in the future.
Thirty-three welding counters at
the Bethlehem-Sparrows Point ship
yards, Baltimore, were held for ac-
ton of the Federal ground jury on
charges of defrauding the Govern
ment by classifying welders' work
records in exchange for money. A
number of welders, who admitted
they paid 81 day to the counters
for classifying the records, are also
being held for grand jury action.
Maryland white potato prices will
be supported during the harvest
period at $3.50 per 100 pounds for
u. S. No. l grades cents higher
than last years support price,. H.
Blandford, chairman of the Mary
land AAA, announces. Should sur
pluses tend to depress prices in COM
mercial areas the War Food Admin
istration will contract with Gamers,
dehydrators and other professors
for the use of surplus potatoes.
Two of every seven workers in
war industries in the Baltimore area
are women. Lawrence B. Fenneman,
State director of the War Manpow-
er Commission, revealed Thursday.
In year, Baltimore industrial fe-
male employment has shown a gain
of II, 1000, the number of women en-
ployed as of March l last, totaling
$1,000, comparing with $4,000 wo-
men at work in these plants on
March l, 1913 In the last II months
male employment in the same in
dustries has declined $4,000. with
$4,000 male workers on the pay
rolls March l, 1914, as against 1877
600 male employees in March, 1913.
To meet 1914 agricultural produc-
ton goals on Maryland farms up
ward of $4,000 additional full-time
and seasonal farm workers are
needed, Statewide survey of
county agents, farm labor superVis-
ors and agricultural economists has
disclosed. At the peak of farm OPP
erations, which will be reached in
August and September, the survey
disclosed that $4,000 men, women
and children will be required 1000
above the 1913 figure. Workers "in
sight" total $4,000 They include
$4,000 making up family groups now
on farms, and $1,000 year-round
workers. That indicates that re-
cruitment of $4,000 additional farm
laborers and harvest hands will be
required.
