Italians Pulling Old Coins In Order Three-Year Task On Fabulous Collection 'ROME UP —Experts are busy inside Barberini Palacd on the three-year task of arranging the fabulous coin collection of King Victor Emmanuel 111, for display to the public. Victor Emmanuel, who indulged in coin collecting as the only hobby in his dry, soidierish life, willed his cherished collection to the Italian people in 1946 shortly after the referendum that ousted the Italian monarchy and about one year before he died in exile in Alexandria, Egypt. The collection totals 120,000 coins.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “SINOE she is present,” Dr. Bowser said, smiling upon Shelly, ‘T’ll ask the originator of the idea to set it before the Society. Mrs. Carr—“ He had to rap for order because the doctors were still buzzing to each other about lay interference in medical matters being a bad precedent to get established. First thing they knew, all their meetings . . , But Shelly, elegant in her black touched with glitter, lovely, young, was nothing to object to; the men might be a little wary of her presence in principle; they all gallantly admired her in particular. “I didn’t come to make a speech,” she said in her soft, pretty voice, coming to tAfce her stand before the table. “And I’m sure I don't need to make one. I’ve talked to most of you Individually about the town’s need for a night medical call service; I understand it should have the endorsement of your Society, and I do ask for that." Briefly, to those who knew about it, and to those who did not—Mr. Prewett, Magistrate Cornfeld, Dr. Lewis—and Craig Talboy—she explained her idea, her readiness to supply the necessary telephone as an exchange; she spoke modestly, clearly. It was an efficient scheme, efficiently thought out, but hardly a man in the room recognized that feature. Craig Talboy did, however; his narrowed eyes, and the little smile about his lips, acknowledged his belated recognition of Shelly’s efficiency. Tonight she was expensively dressed, beautifully groomed, her blue eyes as wide as those of the doll he bad called her, her voice as soft as the brush of feathers across one’s cheek, but that same voice spoke thoughtfully of her intelligently developed plan. Well, doggone! thought Craig Talboy. Kick him, someone, for a complete fool! -Well, now," said the irrepressi ible Cornfeld, “1 call that a very ; good idea! If you doctors had had a service like that a month ago, Talboy there wouldn’t-a got his head cracked open.” •T thought of that,” said Shelly softly. Thfere was a little more talk, but the meeting seemed happy to nsve this thing which they could endorse. The doctors all signed up, including Dr. Lewis, and Shelly said their schedule of nights on duty would be sent to them by the first of the next week. Doctors not able to serve their designated , time must give Mrs. Vandable i twenty-four hours’ notice. “What if one of us gets drunk?” asked someone. “You’d better be able to prove I it,” said someone else. ' And the meeting broke up in I laughter. Craig Talboy left without talking to anyone. The elder Carrs had been out of town tor a week or so, but Lhe next morning Everett phoned to Shelly and asked her if she could stop in at ms office duririg the i day. She said, yes, she’d come about nine. And how had-the trip been? She told what she hsud last i heard from Stephen and hung up.

23 Cases The collection has been kept for eight years in the former royal palace of the Quirinale — now the residence of President Luigi Einaudi —and only now has space been found to display it to the public. .. The 23 oak eases, whose eontents are valued at about 2,000,000,000 lire ($3,200,000), were unloaded at Barberini Palace on Feb. 25. Actual cataloguing started in March after rooms of the palace were reinforced to stand the weight of the huge iron shelves on which the coins will be displayed. The little king, who ascended the throne after his father was assassinated in 1900, devoted much of his lifetime to the precious collection. The only break came during World War I, when he untiringly toured the front to be with his soldiers through the defeat of Caporetto and up to final victory.

“Winder what he wants?” she < mused, returning to her break- ] fast. ’ “I’ll bet you’re due to find out," i said Myra. < Shelly, of course, did find out i what her father-in-law wanted. He < presented her with a delicate shell 1 necklace bought for her in Miami, i and said he liked her in blue, then i he got right to the point He was 1 glad to know that Craig Taiboy’s ' matter with the Medical Society i had been cleared away. In short, he was glad not to have to fire 1 him as plant doctor. i ‘Tm glad, too. Father Carr. He’s a very good doctor.” “Yes, seems to be." He eyed her shrewdly. “You still working in that office?" “Yes. I rather like it” “Don’t know that Stevie would maybe it’s not a bad thing for a time. I mean, you can keep your eye on the. man, and try to straighten him out when he gets , off course.” Shelly stiffened. “I don’t think he'd accept much advice from me." “1 don’t think he’d accept it from anybody. Independent chap. But maybe—oh, you know the town better than he does. Try to ' keep him from insulting the wrong 1 people, Shelly!” “His manners are perfect” “Yes,” agreed Everett dryly. "Especially when he's saying something nasty.” She looked distressed. “He knows ' his job . . she tried to offer as ! argument. . “I think he does, too,” Everett . agreed. “That’s why I hope you , can help him get a little better I adjusted to the townsfolk and to , the plant men.” He leaned toward her. “Try to get him straightened . out, Shelly, and try to keep him that way.” She smiled and stood up. “1 i think I can promise you to do that,” she said confidently. • • • ' The days went by, and the I weeks. Stephen’s letters came in , bunches, with Long stretches in i between when Shelly did not hear at all. She scarcely realized that ' her work at the office was helping her not to worry too much about t Stephen, not to miss him too much. 5 Her days were full; she came home ■ to a cheerful house, to Myra’s sen- , Bible and picturesque chatter, to i Ike’s bulk and strength. Agnes i and Myra between them ran the t house perfectly; Shelly could again s give her Sundays to the Everett i Carrs, when they were in town, > without resenting the obligation. Her position had changed some- ’ what in the family. She knew it, without the ability to tell just 5 how that change was evident. Largely, she thought, it was in » her own attitude toward Stephen’s - family. She had never deserved their criticism of Stephen’s choice iq f wives. She had offered no arguj ment, but had resented their dis- > approval. Now that feeling had i somewhat dissolved—for Shelly. e The Carr women—May Anna, e Ruth and could and did j carry-on- their complicated social t life of club meetings, church afi. fairs, card parties, teas and wed-

History of Conturios Then came the king’s capitulation to Benito Mussolini's coup in 1922. After that Victor Emmanuel had even too much leisure to work on his collection in 21 years devoted to rubber-stamping the dictator's decrees. When World War IL broke out, the king did not forget his collection. He moved it to the royal castle of Pollenzo to protect it from possible bombings. From there it was moved to Bolzano by General Kesselring when his German armies occupied Italy after the king’s attempt to oust Mussolini. Experts said the collection —including Italian gold, silver and bronze coins from the early Roman republic to present times — is probably the most complete on earth, and provides a history of Italy for 2,400 years.

ding receptions, calls paid and repaid, but Shelly no longer realized their failure to include Stephen’s wife in their plans. She had used to say she did not care when she was not invited. Npw she really did not care. And when, as sometimes happened, she was invited to an important function, she was able to refuse graciously, without hurting anyone, and. without involving herself in anything which might interfere with her work. These spring days, her whole life was more pleasant. Sometimes she gave thought to the change—when she had time. She was busy —that was the big help. She kept regular hours at the office and manage*! things there with an increasingly sure touch. Sometimes she wondered why Craig let he* make so many decisions, and carry them out —but he did let her, and that was all right so long as her schemes were effective. The night call service was going full blast, with the expected few hitches —sometimes from the doctors, themselves. Dr. Appleman, for one, was not always available on his duty nights. More often, trouble came from the patients. Myra had a firm hand with these recalcitrant folk. Shelly liked to watch the girl take a call; the slim young woman with her creamy skin and lustrous eyes, her rich voice and even richer speech, could talk to almost anyone with confidence and reassurance. Even to Miss Poller—Miss Pearl—on the night when she called in agitation because Roxie was sick and she didn’t know which way to turn; she couldn’t raise Dr. Lewis. . . . Myra promised to send a doctor. Miss Pearl’s voice came over the wire as tense as the high notes of an uncertain soprano. And Myra’s rich calmness replied. “I’ll send one of the men on calL He'll help you through this emergency, Miss Pearl. Tomorrow you can have your own Dr. Lewis." She set the phone down for a minute. “Which one she feudin’ with now?" asked Ike. Myra looked up from the record sheet “Dr. Snow . . “Is he on call?” asked Shelly. “No, ma'am. It’s Dr. Taiboy’s turn to be called. I’d like it to be Snow, I’ll admit. My nature bein’ as Low as it is. But on the other hand. I’d like to bo aroun* whin Dr. Talboy gits in that house." “Why?" asked Shelly. “If Miss Roxie needs a doctor in a hurry, it’s probably because she wants a shot for what she calls her heads." “You mean ..." “I don’t mean anything," said Myra firmly. “Miss Roxie gits what she calls heads, and Dr. Lewis he usually gives her somethin’ to relieve them. Miss Pearl , fusses cause he wants five dollars, cash on the barrel head —” “But tonight she’s fussing bei cause she can’t get Dr. Lewi*." “Yes’in. Miss Pearl, she'll fuss about most anything. Please wait till I make this call . . ." Craig answered and said he would go. (To Be Continued)

County Agent's Column o 0 Fertilizers Spring awakening of slumbering bintgrass pastures, over grazed and drouth damaged, may be bastened and improved for early grazing of livestock if you use nitro-fertlltzets, say Purdue University extension agronomists. Applying nitrogen fertilizer to bluegrass or other grass pastures by the time growth starts will provide about two weeks earlier grazing than untreated land, and more than double the spring carry capacity. On land well supplied with phosphate and potash or that has been previously fertilized with these minerals, good results will be obtained from the use of nitrogen alone, applied at the rate of about 50 lbs to the acre. This amount of nitrogen may be applied & IM lbs., 33 percent ammonium nitrate or the equivalent in other nitro-

Os course, it’s necessary to keep in mind that nitrogen applied for early spring growth will have very little effect on growth during the hot summer month* One acre of nitrogen fertilized pasture should take care of two to three cows, or their equivalent of other stock, until other pasture is available.
