Currency of various easts did early supplant our first settlers' methods f barter, but what, for example, was the sort of money in circulation during 'George Washington's Presidency? Many will be surprised to learn from tike Division of Information and Publication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission that the then new United States Government issued •only what the people of that day called "hard money"--that Is, currency in gold, silver and copper. 'They had gcod reason for this performance. The paper money issued 1»y the Continental Congress during the "Revolution had become deflated to the point Where General Washington complained "Chat it "took a wagon-load o? money to purchase a wagon-load of provisions." | In the day of deliverance, when the &I?A % 4<F S %•#*&*.;w&3'ih • ft*;. # Your ': w- Memorial Day •"•J ^ Flowers Just let «s know want, and they will be delivered when and where yon wast.{hem ..

A a - Special Memorial Day the new Gowernraantef the Ulfeedl States was set «p, the f spls nnnlsd m «wre of paper Ctrisosly enoa«h, these eaziy of the Colonies has xurm, fas the eyes of collectors, a value unheard of in the days of its actual use. This modern value further grows from the fact that some of It came frocs the presses of Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere, who had been commissioned by their respective Colonies to strike off such money. A typical specimen of this paper, issued by Connecticut during the Revolution, reads: "ONE POUND. The possessor of this Bill shall be paid by the Treasurer of the Colony of Connecticut TWENTY SHILLINGS, Lawful Money, by the First Day of January, A. D. 1781. By Order of the Assembly. Hartford, June 7th, 1776." In a word, it was a promissory note, and popular faith in the promise early waned, as probably none waa ever redeemed in specie. By 1780 this paper had been Issued in denominations of dollars and cents, as 'well as in shilling* and pounds. TMa early dollar, by the way, was the Spanish peso, the silver "piece of eight," made famous in pirate yarns. Visitors to Washington during the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration will see in the Smithsonian Institution a full display of this early paper, along with the "hard money" af the Washington Administration- About three specimens are preserved from each of tMe Colonies, each specimen with its characteristic "vignette* mama with spud Chicago, May 20--When the motorist shoves the speed of his car from thirty miles an hour up to forty-five he increases the engine's oil consumption six or seven times. That is one of the interesting facts developed out of the 9,000-mile test recently conducted at the Indianapolis speedway by the contest board of the American Automobile Association acting for the Standard Oil Company of Indiana- Thirteen new stock can, representing a cross-section of the 1981 autobile crop, were used in the test. After a 2,000-mile run-in, two testa were made at thirty Whiles an hour and five at fifty-five miles an hour. The complete test is said to be the most extensive and important the A. A. A. has ever made. It permitted accumulation of more than 600,000 separate observations, which have provided the basis for determining- numerous new facts regarding motor car operation. It was found that the cars used an average of one quart of oi? per thousand miles at thirty miles per hour, but jumped up to 6.9 quarts per thousand miles at fifty-five miles per hour. Automotive engineers regard this finding as proof that the modern tendency toward driving at high speed is the main factor in causing variations in oil consumption !'

As to the "hard money" that officially replaced this paper, Robert Morris was ordered by Congress in 1782 to report on the foreign coins circulating in the United States, with a plan for an American coinage. Through the efforts of Morris, Jefferson and Hamilton a mint was authorized, and in 1792, President Washington approved a bill establishing such a mint, the first in the United States, located in Philadelphia. The smallest coin then issued was the copper half-cent, with the figure of Liberty on one side, a wreath on the other, rfext came the cent, a silver half-dime, the dime, quarter, snd dolls? jis knovr thcss tc day. On the silver coins an eagle was placed within the wreath on the back. Indeed visitors will be struck by the fact that our metal coins of today have changed so little from these first designs.

As had been expected, the test showed that the amount of carbon deposited was smaller at the high speeds, with the engines running com partively hot, than at thirty miles an hour. Gasoline mileage was best at the lower speeds, averaging 18.18 and 12.94 miles per gallon in the two tests at thirty miles and from 10.24 to 11.08 miles per gallon at fifty-five miles.

Findings of the board also verified the claim that ethlyized gasoline prevents detonation in the engine- None of the engines at any time showed any evidence of a knock. As the result of lubrication in accordance with standard recommendations, contest officials reported all mechanical parts outside the motors had function ed perfectly and without distinguishable wear. On pistons and cylinders the wear was too small to be measured at thousand mile intervals and was less than one one-thousandth of on inch for the entire nine thousand miles. The outstanding general result of the test, to which the A. A. A. officials were able to testify, was a new demonstration of the fact that good lubrication is insurance against wear even under extreme and difficult conditions. All cars in the test were driven with complete smoothness in the functioning of the engines and other moving parts. The cars which participated in the test are to tour the north central states this summer making further tests of lubrication and fuel consumption under actual road conditions. ko My Custon and Friends--^ m ... : •» -v." 1 .
