The Five Cent Piece
(By George Fitch.)
The five-cent piece is the day
laborer of our coinage. It is
the hardest working and most
successful bit of money in use in
these United States.
The twenty dollar gold piece
is very popular and is badly
sought after in I lie best society;
the five-dollar hill has millions
of friends, and the hard silver
dollar can he found nestling in
the pocket of almost every
free horn citizen. But none of
these works like the five-cent
piece.
The humble nickel runs the
street cars of the nation, pro
vides it with cigars and soda
water, buys most of its maga
zines, operates its slot machines
and has made the moving pic
ture more powerful than the po
litical orator.
The nickel has built 100-acre
breweries and $200,000,000 sub
way systems. Where the $2
bill has given up in despair the
humble nickel has stepped in
and operated vast theaters. The
quarter ran the magazine busi
ness for many years, and made
a mess of it. But when the nick
el went into the game it put the
magazine on every news stand
and filled the American home
so full of Sunday newspapers
that, father has to clear it out \
with a pitchfork every Monday
morning.
Place a dollar bill in the pock- '
et and it has to be removed with
forceps and an anaesthetic. But I
put a nickel in the pocket and
within ten minutes it has leap- r
ed nimbly into the til. of the j
nearest cigar store, soda foun-1
tain or moving picture empori- j
urn. 11
If the nickel’s work were to h
be turned over to the dime, most ,
of our moving picture theaters ,
would close, the cigar busi- ,
ness would disappear, street |
cars would travel empty and our ,
most prominent brewers would ,
be mowing lanes for a living. .
Many of our newest and fresh-1.
est millionaires are men who ]
found dimes and quarters doing
work which was unfitted for
them, and put nickels on the job ;
in their places. And many of j
our future millionaires will be
men who discover other jobs
now being run into the ground
by larger and fatter coins and
who will pul in cisterns for tills j
and begin the accumulation of j
nickels as a life work. The nick-j
el has not broken into the au
tomobile business and may nev
er do so. But when every vot
er contributes a nickel to his
party the troubles of the cam
paign committee will disappear
[and the large contributors, who
' have been running our political
parties in the past, will be told
coldly and firmly to go to.

)ear Sir:
You are a man, and I am a
aan. You are running a news-,
iaper and I am on a magazine, j
If you were here, I would take
ou in and introduce you to
rliss Gould, our Fashion Editor.
believe that you—a man—
could be interested in her ideas
tbout women and fashions. Ii
rou could hear her talk about
lie subject, you would enjoy
rourself. If women could be
sducated to look at fashions the
vay Miss Gould looks at them,
ve should have a better and a
nippier country. She likes to
lave women dress fashionably
jut she doesn't want them to ;
•un to extremes. She believes j
n the well-dressed woman, not ;
lie dressed-up woman. She is;
tgainst the eccentric, the im
modest, the grotesque, the con- j
spicuous. She says:
“Fools dress so that people
will turn around and stare at
them. I want women to dress
so that people will not stare at
them- 1 want them to look well,
be comfortable, feel fashionable,
and yet accomplish all this at a

ey. I am showing our women
how they can do this very
thing.
Now, Miss Gould has got up
Advance Autumn fashion Num
ber of the Woman’s Home Com
panion, which you, and whate\
er women folks you are particu
larly interested in, ought to see
Under separate cover 1 am
sending you a copy, together
with a copy of our Editor s
Clip Sheet, which, this month,
is made up largely of selections
from Miss Goulds depaitment.
Look over this material and you
will get a new and refieshing
view of just the place that fash
ions ought to have. Vou will ie
alize that the women Miss Gould
is talking to so wisely are not
away off in some imaginary
field—far from everyday life.
She is talking to the women who
make up the bulk and strength
of our country; just such wo
men as are the wives of the edi
tors and reporters on your pa
per.
One final point—just between
you and me. as man to man.
While Miss Gould makes her
fashions to please the women,
she makes them so that they do
not burden the men who have to
pay the bills.
Very sincerely yours,
Exchange Editor.
