WASHINGTON TO MAKE DEBUT AS FACE ON COINS .New Quarters to Be Distributed Through Nation This Month by Mint. Vnitrd Prrs* WASHINGTON, July B.—George Washington will make his debut on the nation's pocket change late this month when distribution of the hew silver quarter is begun by the United States mint. Although a veteran of postage stamp albums for many years, there never has been a regular coin struck bearing the image of the father of his country. Abraham Lincoln has appeared on the penny for many years. The government's three mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver are striking the quarters from new dies now. In order to avoid ill feeling, the federal reserve banks will distribute them to banks in all parts or the country simultaneously. Bankers, who like new bills and coins as well as people less familiar with money, are expected to ask for all new quarters when they come out, but the director of the mint

will force them to use up their old ones first. The new quarter, not issued as a commemorative piece, recalls nu-; merous facts about small change which frequently are overlooked, j Few know that *'E Pluribus Unum,” “United states of America," j "In God We Trust' and ‘Liberty” appear on all silver coins because the law requires it. The same is true of the eagles figure. Careful search will reveal that many coins bear a small letter "S” or “D" somewhere on their faces. They indicate the coin was struck at the San Francisco or Denver mints. Those struck at Philadlephia, the largest mint In the country, bear no distinguishing initial. A few old coins may be found with an “O” or a "C C.” They were struck either at the old New Orleans or Carson City, Nev., mints, now abandoned. Designers of coins usually are permitted to put their initials on them inconspicuously. The George Washington quarter will have an “F” on it for John Flannagan, its designer. Flanagan also designed the magnificent bronze clock which adorns the reading room of the library of congress and the Verdun medal presented to France.

memory Thursday in the municipal court of Judge William H. Sheafi'er And "Chris” can thank Dominick Palamaro, 223 South Illinois street, % for official recognition of his deed. Palamaro braved a state farm sentence and a fine to help "Chris" out and, in doing it, put Americus Vespucci in his proper place Palamaro quarreled with a group of men on June 27 at the south side market on whether Columbus or Vespucci first discovered America. The quarrel ended when Palamaro, a banana-seller, knifed one of the men in the leg. Facing Sheaffer on an assault and battery charge. Palamero proved his patron saint got the jump on Vespucci by banging an aged leather history on the judge's bench and shouting: "See. Judge, this history says that Vespucci came to America in 1493

and you. every one. knows that Columbo teat him one year.” These men,” he shouted in his best banana-selling voice as he turned to his accusers," they call Columbo a wop. They ought to be ashamed.” His voice grew strident. He waved his arms. The courtroom grinned. "You ought be 'shamed to call Columbo a name. You would not be here if it were not for him. You ought to be ashamed to come into this courtroom.” he yelled. “Evidence heard, the history read, the court finds that Columbus did discover America in 1492,” ruled Sheaffer. Palamaro smiled victoriously. He would wire Mussolini of his missionary work in behalf of Christopher. “ But,” added the judge, “I'm going to fine you SI and costs and

give you thirty days in the state iarm lor cutting this man. I’ll suspend judgment, but remember Dominick, don't pull any more knives to back up your historians.”
