EARLIEST FORM OF MONEY IN AMERICA “Pine Tree” Shilling First . Colonial Currency. The “Pine Tree” shillifg was the first money made for common use in the Américan _colonies, particularly for New KEngland, and dated 1652, says Farran Zerbe in “The Story of Money,” issued by the Chase National bank. It continued to be struck for some thirty years thereafter, but all the coins bear the same date. A manufacturer by the name of John Hull had the contract to coin this money. By his contract he recelved ome coin for himself out of a certain number made for the colony. By virtue of this contract Hull managed to become a very wealthy man and the state wished to cancel the contract, but the shrewd gentleman would not allow it. It is related that at the wedding of his daughter he had a balance set up, on one tray of which his daughter stood, while coln was put on the other tray until a balance was reached. That was. her dowry—her weight in coln. : . Before and during the Revolutionary war there were some interesting notes issued in America. For example, there was a note issued by the Sons of Liberty in Boston in order to finance the cause of freedom. These notes were brought out in 1775. - An original specimen, of great rarity, is in this collection. Its face value was 24 shillings. Paper money was in common use in the Colonies from its enforced use in Massachusetts in 1690. In Philadelphia checks were made out in the Eighteenth century which did not mention any bank, but merely started out as follows: “Cashier of the bank. Please pay to the order of,” etc. The reason no bank name appeared on the check was that in Philadelphia there was only one bank—the Bank of North America—and so no mistake could possibly arise as to where to go for final payment. : : One of the most interesting of the Continental paper moneys was Aan early note issued in 1780 by the state of Massachusetts Bay, now Massachusetts. The purpose of this was to finance the state’s quota of the Continental army. The note reads as follows: “Pay 260 pounds on the first day of March, both principal and interest to be paid in the then current money of the said state in a greater or less sum according as five bushels of corn, sixty-eight and four-sevenths pounds of a part of beef, ten pounds of sheep’s wool and sixteen pounds of gole leather, shall then cost, more or less than 180 pounds current money at the then current prices of said articles, the same being thirty-two times and one-half what the same quantities of the same articles would cost at the prices affixed to them in a law of this state In the year of our Lord 1777.”

Lapland Girls Studious Eager for knowledge of the outside world, Lapland girls in Sirma, near ! the border of Finland, are enthusiastic students in the Y. W. C. A. traveling school, according to a report from Froken Braathen of the World's Young Women’s Christian association, with headquarters in London. . To reach the girls of Sirma the teachers of the winter school traveled 60 miles in an open sled on a frozen river. Many of the girls had difficulty in reaching the points where the traveling school made temporary stops. For the summer course two young girls traveled more than 100 miles in a rowboat. The Y. W. C. A. courses include handicraft, cooking, anatomy, nursing and first ‘ald. In a recent report the association says that within the past year its traveling secretaries have visited 23 of the countries that have flourishing associations of many years’ standing. S : Suburbanites . Both .Gilmore Walker and Tommy Malloy, film editors, have moved into suburban residences and are always comparing notes on their respective places. The other day when they met, Walker said: “I iike my place better and better; it’s great In the morning to hear the leaves whispering outside your window.” : “I like that part of it|” admitted Tommy, “but it sure gets my goat to hear the lawn mown."—Los Angeles Times. £
