Ethiopians Using
Bags Of Salt For
Native Currency
NEW YORK, Nov. 1—Eth
iopia’s currency, the Maria
Theresa thaler has been
thrust into prominence by It
aly’s war preparations again
st the African country, but it
is known to Wall Street only
by hearsay. Leading exchan
ge houses never have made a
transaction in it, a recent sur
vey reveals.
Salt is the common medium
of exchange in the ancient
and primitive black kingdom.
The Bank of Ethiopia, in its
semi-monthly letter to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New
York last posted a price that
was read out at 36 cents a
thaler.
Ihe coin, which is of silver
of 833.33 fineness, weighs
433.08 grains. Delivered in
New York and melted into
bars, this silver Would be
worth approximately 49 cts.
a thaler, with the American
silver price at 65 cents an
ounce.
The Ethiopian government
also circulated a coin known
as the Menelik dollar, similar
in weight and content to the
thaler, but many of tthe na
tives failed to recognize it as
money, and it was withdrawn
in 1933.
Salt, a highly prized com
modity in Ethiopia, figures
importantly as a medium oi
exchange in its domestic
trade. The country imports
13,000 metric tons(28,652,00(
pounds) of salt annually, anc
this, taken into the interim
in bars and bags is willingly
accepted at a rate of exchan
ge that fluctuates according
to the supply.
Larger merchants and for
eigners conduct their busi
ness with banknotes issued b>
Ihe Bank of Ethiopia, coverec
by silver thaler reserves, no1
more than 10 per cent govern
ment obligations, demanc
collateral loans and eligible
commercial paper.

Girl's Profession Is !
To Sketch Surgery '
In Operating Room
_ i
CINCINNATI, Oct. 31—A
girl who decided early in life
she did not want to be an ar
tist has grown up to be one
' and a very unusual one at
that.
She is Mary Maciel. medi
cal artist for the Department
of Surgery at the Cincinnati
General Hospital and the Col
lege of Medicine of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati. She is
the only person in her partic
ular field in Cincinnati and
one of 100 in the United Sta
tes.
Her task is to watch opera
tions, make sketches in the
operating room and then she
transforms them into delicate
ly detailed drawings or paint
ings. The drawings are pub
i fished in medical magazines
1 and text books or made into
• lantern slides for lectures.
Drawings rather than pho
• 'tographs are used in this work
[ because, Miss Maciel said, if
an operation was photograph
• ed, hands, scissors, forcepts,
etc., would be in the way and
make it pracitically impossi
ble to see the proceedure.
FOR SALE—Thor electric
washing machine, slightly us
