A recent printed quiz asked
What is the origin of the s
(dollar) sign?" And the answer
was that it resulted from a COM
bination of U. S., the letters
standing for United States.
Among coin collectors, it long
has been taken for granted that
the sign originated from a Mexi-
can abbreviation of Ps for pesos
or piastres. This resulted through
dropping the S over the P, O,
combining them.
There is evidence that the 8
(dollar) sign was used long be-
fore there was a United States
(And there is also plenty of evil
dence that peoples the world over
have come to associate the s
sign with the United States.)
Today the sign is used for the
dollars of numerous countries in
cluding the United States, British
West Indies and Canada; for the
peso of some Latin American ma
tions, for the escuda of Portugal
and for the milries of Brazil.

Guessing Is Poor Procedure.
The exposure meter is just as
important. This will give you that
needed bit of confidence when
shooting pictures at the beach, in
the mountains or anywhere else
that you will meet lighting con-
ditions that are different from
those to which you are accus-
toned. Guessing exposures under
strange conditions is a poor pro-
cedure at best. There are many
cases where lighting may seem
greatly different from that at

meter will keep you from over
correcting in like situations. It
will also interpret any unusual

coal, but with negligible results.
For some reason explainable
only by them, the Soviet, according
to all reports, stripped Manchuria
of much industrial equipment. all
too often generators and trans
formers from the power plants,
thus Gripping industry in the area
surrounding. The extent of this
industrial removal has never been
fully ascertained, but in conjunc-
ton with the fighting between
Chinese National and Communist
forces which followed Soviet with
drawal and the consequent and
lack Of maintenance to plants
and mines, the loss of industrial
capacity in Manchuria must have
been very large. This writer was
advised by a competent Chinese
mining engineer who was in Man
churia as late as 1947 that it
would take at least five years for
full mineral production in that
territory even after determined
efforts were initiated to restore it.
For equally inexplicable reasons
the Soviet did not remove any
substantial amount of industrial
materials from North Korea. Re-
ports of extensive removal were
pronounced false by a United
States reparations mission which
inspected about two-thirds of the
plants there in an on-the-spot
survey in 1916. North Korea,
therefore, is in probably better
condition from an industrial point
of view than is Manchuria.
Neither Korea nor Manchuria
is able to support the kind Of war

now in South Korea can hold a

ments in men and materials ar

way we have won all of our wars.

all else. 1t may be an expensive

major plants well spaced about the
country, some held in reserve and
used for storage of machine tools,
and others leased with a clause
providing for their conversion If

Many were completed in the
final phases of the war, and are
big enough to contain B-36 pro-
duction lines. At the peak of the
war some ITS million square feet
Of floor space was available to the
industry.
This compares with 1875 million
in 1910, and up to go million now.
The latter space includes large
areas in reserve at factories now

be utilized quickly if output is in
creased.
Most key manufacturers have
mobilization plans for expansion
in various degrees. With these
go similar plans TO rthe subcon-

schedules are worked out for the
