NEW COINS TD
BE READY FOR
XMAS SHOPPERS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Treasury j
officials today, while declining to
name any definite day, said they be
lieved that the series of newly de
signed coins—half dollars, quarters
and dimes—would be in circulation by
Christmas. Some trouble is being ex
perienced in getting the coins mechan
ically perfect perfect so they can be
stacked properly ajid so they will fit
in the various coin machines, such as
pay station telephones, which are in
use throughout the country. These
were devised to hold the old coins
which have been in use for the last 25
years.
The design of the new half dollar
bears a full height figure of liberty,
the folds of the Stars and Stripes fly
ing to the breeze as a background, pro
gressing in full stride toward the
dawn of a new day and carrying
branches of laurel and oak, which are
symbols of civic and military glory,
j The hand of the figure is outstretched
in bestowal of the spirit of liberty.
The reverse side shows an eagle perch
ed on a mountain crag, wings unfold
! ed. From a rift in the rock is a sap
' ling of moutain pine, symbolic of
America.
The design of the twenty-five cent
piece is intended to typify prepared
ness. There is a new figure of liberty,
full length, front view, head to the
left, stepping forward to the gateway
j of the country, and on the wall are the
■ words “In God We Trust.” The left
i arm of Liberty is raised, bearing a
j shield in the attitude of protection,
i The right hand carries the olive
branch of peace. Above the head is
the word liberty and on the step under
her feet “1916.” ’ The reverse side
shows an American Eagle with wings
extended.
The design of the new dime is more
simple, necessarily, because it is
smaller. The obverse shows a head
of Liberty with winged cap. The re
verse shows a bundle of rods, with
1 battle ax, symbolic of unity. About
j this is a full foliaged branch of olive,
I to typify peace.
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ *4 ♦ + ♦♦♦
The designs, for the half dollar
ind dime, were executed by A. Wein
nan and, for the quarter dollar, Her
man A. Macnell, both of whom are
sculptors of prominence.
John H. Robinson, special inspector
for the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion, returned yesterday from a trip
to Little Susitna river and the railroad
camps en route and says that in the
Matanuska division the station men
are closing up their contracts and
are preparing to come to Anchorage
for the winter. The wagon roads are
very heavy on account of the recent
rains and that there is some road
building along the Knik-Willow creek
wagon road where the railroad cros
ses.
Fred Spengler has his caterpillar at
camp 174 and is making fair headway.
Mr. Robinson reports that the two
disciples of Blackstone, Attorneys
Coffey and Stowe, are doing great
work on their right-of-way contract
and say to tell the boys they will soon
be finished.
He says that the two passenger
coaches were crowded from Matanus
ka to Anchorage Saturday night by
the station men and railroad boys
coming in for Sunday. Mr. Robinson
said the good work was being done
all along the division and further that
law and order and the best of feeling
prevails among the men who have uni
versally had a successful season.
