Money Talks


The Bureau of the Mint manu-
features all domestic coins, ac-
quires gold and silver bullion, re-
fines gold and silver, and makes
medals for the armed services,
among it's many duties.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing of the Treasury Depart
ment manufactures all paper
money and other securities of the
Federal Government, postage
stamps, and U. S. Savings Stamps,
among it's many duties.
In Yak, large stones used for
money sometimes are IL feet in
diameter. They are considered use
full because they cannot be stolen
easy.
The wives of some prosperous
Hindus wear rupees = large silver
dollars : so that when their hus-
bands need money, they car break
off a piece of jewelry and spend
it.
The word "ruble" means "piece
cut off" and gained the name from
the fact thatthe pieces of money
known as a ruble was the shape
of a diamond with it's points cut
off.
The word "fee' is an old Eng
lish word for cattle, and the La
tin word for a herd of cattle in
"pecus," from which is derived
our word "peculation," meaning
the "theft of money"
The Series E Bond is known as
a savings bond because when you
buy one, you not only "save," but
insure a SO 1 3 percent return on
your investment upon maturity.

NEW YORK CAMP Marking
the fifth anniversary of the New
York State Commission Against
Discrimination, Edward w. Ed
wards, chairman of the commits
sion issued a statement last week
hailing "the progress which has
been made during the past five
years in preventing and eliminat-
ing illegal job discrimination"
Concurrently in Albany, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, during whose
administration the nations first
fair employment practices law
combinatiing education and SAN
ction was enacted, commended the
commission and the public for the
steady progress being made in
providing equality Of job opport-
unity for all persons without. re-
gard to race, creed, color or natl
onal origin.
Commissioner Edwards stated
that ceremonies were staged
throughout the state as part of
the commemorative activities re-
lating to the commissions fifth
birthday. He said that these pro-
grams would include radio and
television presentations and show
ings in the major upstate cities of
the commissioners film," An Equal
Chance"
Gov. Dewey's statement called
the bill creating the commission
zone of the major achievements
of this administration" Further,
"the manner in which the commits
sion has administered the law and
the wholehearted acceptance of
the law by the public as we'll as
it's cooperation with the commits
sion has resulted in a tremendous
increase of opportunities for mem
bers of all groups. The doubts and
fears of those earlier opponents
of the statute have been dispell-
ed"
Gov. Dewey also asserted that
on July 1, 1850, another milestone
in the civil rights legislation in
New York, the Austinwicks bill
signed. on March 80, 1850, after
passage by both Houses of the
Legislature, would take effect. /.

request and set the date for July
20, when it will be determined
whether Holiday will be tried by a
jury or by a judge, or whether an
other attorney will enter the case.
Holiday entered the court room
dressed in a flashy blue and white
sport shirt, with the same defiant
and sneering expression he has
carried on previous appearances in
the court room. According to Pat
ricoff, he intends to prove that
Holiday did not go to Hollis home
with the intention of killing him
but, went there for the purpose
of seeking a loan, following the
game that had broken up that
night. That he acted in self de-
tense both in the fatal shooting of
Holt and Marbury, whom he con-
tends, he shot when Marbury
threatened him. As he greeted
him with the words, "Hi Bill". The
Prosecution on the other hand will
contend that Holiday, professed
gambler, who after losing all his
money including the 500 borrow
ed from Booker Harris earlier in
the day, became desperate and
knowing holt would be alone, went
to his home with the expressed
intention of robbing him even to
the extent of killing him.

TWO FOOTBALL
RECORDS HELD
BY NEB. PLAYER

NEW YORK, Nov 13+Rt-Bobby
Reynolds, Nebraska's sophomore
flash, appeared today to have a
stranglehold on college footballs
1850 point scoring leadership.
The hard-hitting halfback ran
wild in Nebraska's 1921 rout of
Kansas State on Saturday. scoring
three times and getting five con-
versions to boost his pacemaking
point total to 1876. That figure and
his ISL yards rushing constitute
Big Six and Big Seven records for
a season.
Reynolds now has 10 touchdowns
and Is conversions in seven games.
And Nebraska still has two games
to 90 this season-with Iowa State
next Saturday and with Oklahoma
a week later.
Tied for second place behind Rey-
nolds were Bob Courtney of Center
bury College( Ind and Bob Miller
OF Emory and Henry (Va), eacn WIN
ia points. Courtney lost his tenn
porary lead over Reynolds on the
weekend when he scored only one
TD-and that was Canterburys sea-
son finale.
Johnny Bright, Drake star, scored
four times Saturday in beating Iowa
State, 1921, and raised his point
place. That was brakes last sched-
uled game of the season but it
enabled Bright to break the record
for total yards gained. His 2,400
topped the old mark of 2,1S7 set by
! Georgia's Frank Sinkwich eight
years ago.
