DESIGN OF NEW SOVEREIGNS
CONCERNS PEOPLE OF INDIA
CALCUTTA, Mar. 6— Reports from
"England that the government has un
I der consideration turning out golden
sovereigns again has aroused much
interest among the natives, who for
many years have always been eager
to pay a premium for certain of the
gold pieces, which they used for per
sonal adornment. What the Indians
f are principally concerned about, how
ever, is whether the sovereigns are
to have the same designs as former
ly.
In pre-war times there were two
kinds of sovereigns—one with King
George's profile on the obverse and
St. George killing the dragon on the
reverse, and the other with the Royal
Standard instead of St. George. The
coins bearing the dragon were not
in favor among the Indians, who
avoided them on every occasion and
would not accept them on any ac
count. The dragon coins were in dis
favor also among the Chinese, and
the prejudice was so great at one
time in eastern trading circles that
they were virtually barred from bus
iness in many parts of the Orient.
Every man feels at peace with
God when thoroughly satisfied with
himself.

ABOUT TIME FOR TYRUS
TO SAY LEGS ARE OKEH
NEW YORK, Mar. 6.—It will
soon be time for Ty Cobb to tell
the world that his legs “feel all
right.” That will be a sure sign
that the great Georgian is look
ing forward to another wonderful
season.
Cobb believes the secret of his
success as a ball player is in the
care he has taken with his feet
and legs. During the playing
season he will sit patiently on a
rough stool in the club house
putting on his stockings and
shoes to suit him. Sometimes he
will pul! a stocking off half a
dozen times to get it to “feel”
right to the bottom of his foot.
Ty will put on his shoes and tie
the strings. ...Then he will stamp
his feet and if the feeling is not
to his liking, he will sit down
and take off his shoes and put
them on again. He will repeat
the performance until... he can
stand on the shoes and feel that
they respond to every pressure
of his body. Not until then will
he walk out of the club house
to play ball.
The mighty Tyrus keeps his
legs in condition in the winter
season by walking ..mile ..after
mile, either around his home in
Augusta or around a hunting pre
serve farther south.

“Let’s Go to California’*
Tji VERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
" travel-inclined man says to his wife, “Let’s go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just how to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
J(
V
The same with anything you may reed or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to leam—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.

Channel Islands Income
Tax Dodgers Perturbed
LONDON. Mar. 6.—With each
change of government in England
there is a class of British citizens
resident in the Channel Islands bet
ter known as the tax dodgers who
get “the wind up” regarding possi
ble legislation to make them come
in line with regard to the income
tax which is being paid cheerfully
or uncheerfully by their brother res
idents on the mainland.
The rate of income tax in the
Channel Islands works out at a lit
tle over sixpense to the pound
against four shillings and sixpense in
England, and it is reported to be the
intention of the British treasury to
invite Jersey and Guernsey to pay on
annual contribution of half a million
sterling to the exchequer in return
for the same benefits as other parts
of the Empire enjoy.
If this is done the authorities in
those islands, which levy their owu
taxes, would have to recoup them
selves from the populace, which has
increased largely since the war by
the immigration of British civil ser
vants and people who have made
money rapidly since 1914, all seeking
to evade the taxes now' current in
England.
The advent of Winston Churchill
as chancellor of the exchequer has
caused these tax dodgers some per
turbation. They fear he will ask
the home secretary to suggest some
payment by Jersey and Guernsey
which would eventually affect the
individual’s pocket.
ANCIENT BOOKS DURABLE
SEATTLE, Mar. 6.—University of
Washington library officials declar
ed that producers of books in the
days of Swift and Dryden put more
durable bindings on their books, than
do modern printing establishments.
As evidence it was pointed out that
one book published in 1683 and sev
eral issued shortly after that were
on the library’s shelves for circula
tion.
NAVY PLANS NEW PLAYGROUND
FOR SAILORS IN SOUTH PACIFIC
HONOLULU, Mar. 6.—Plans for a
naval recreation camp in the Hawaii
National park, near the continuous
ly active volcano of Kileuea military
camp, have been approved by the
navy department and construction
will begin within a short time, it has
been announced here. The navy has
a fund of $5,000 available for imme
diate use, which will be expended in
constructing necessary buildings.
It is understood that the camp will
be expanded as its use becomes more
and more general among officers and
enlisted men of the 14tli naval dis
trict at Pearl Harbor, or vessels call
ing at Honolulu or other Hawaiian
ports.
LAST WAR RESTRICTION LIFTEC
LONDON, Mar. 6.—The last of the
war-time restrictions on the postal
service as put into effect by England
was removed early in February. The
postmaster general announced thal
the money order service between
Great Britain and the Duchy or Lux
emburg, suspended in August 1914
had been resumed, virtually on the
same basis as seven years ago.
CHURCH ACTIVITIES
DRAW WOMEN
BERLIN, Mar. 6.—Recent elections
in the Evangelical church through
out Prussia, the largest Protestant
area in Germany, resulted in the
choice of 33 1-3 per cent of women
as church officials in many parish
es, and "workmen assumed a much
more important part in- church af
fairs than in the days of the monar
chy. About 75 per cent of the church
membership voted in most parishes,
which is regarded as a manifesta
tion of unusual interest in church
affairs.
