WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
INDIAN-HEAD CENTS?
What has become of the Indian-head
cents which were used for many
years as the lowest value coin of the
United States? Since 1908 when
Lincoln cents were first issued, the In
dian heads have been gradually disap
pearing, until at present there are ap
| proximately ten times more of the
i new issue in use than the old one.
Copper cents are noted for their
wearing qualities, and it is not rea
sonable to believe that the Indian
heads have succumbed to the hard us
age of trade, for the oldest one in cir
culation w'ould show' but little wear.
Banks no longer count cents by hand,
a machine counting and wrapping the
i small coins, and as they have never
been recalled from circulation the
banks have never tried to hold them
for return to Washington, D. C , when
turned in by depositors or by those
seeking to make change.
A check of the average circulation
of cents showed that in every 100
| cents in the city, ninety-one were of
the Lincoln issue, the remainder be
ing Indian heads. Of course, a few
Canadian cents are found on this
side of tile line, but their number is
negligible compared to the Lincoln
| cents given in change by the merch
ants.
In the past few years, the merch
ants say that more and more cent
are being used in making change, the
j people generally coming to accept odd
i amounts in the prices charged. Time
was when especially in the West,
j that cents were used only as ballast
1 in children’s banks, but today the.
are found holding an honorable place
in nearly every business transaction.
The war may, of course, be blam
| ed for this, lor it was during that pe
riod that movie theaters collected odd
| cents in war tax, which tended to in
! crease their circulation. Certain it
it, however, that the old Indian heads
are disappearing from our coinage,
and in the collections of numismatists j
persons who collect old coins and who
pay fabulous sums for rare coins.

BAN IN BRITISH ISLES
LONDON, Jan. 18—There is proba
bly only one place in the world where
tired ears can rest assured they won t

The commissioners of prisons for
England have banned all jazz music.
“Mere comic programs are barred”
says a statement from the commis

RAILROAD TRACK IN FOG
LONDON, Jan. 8—Anything may
happen in a London fog.
An engineer pulled his train out of
Victoria station recently during a
heavy fog, bound for Woking. He
brought the train to a standstill some
time later in thevicinity of South
hampton, miles away from Woking.
Someone had forgotten to close the
switch, and the engineer couldn’t see
where he was bound for in the fog.
