New Dollar Bill
Reverse Side of Great Seal
Is Pictured.
Washington. New one dollar sil
ver certificates are being printed
by the government and will be put
Into circulation soon, Secretary of
ihe Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., announced.
The new money, which will differ
from the existing paper certificates
In design but not In size, is being
prepared because the treasury has
adopted a new method of printing
on the bills the signatures of the
secretary of the treasury and the
treasurer of the United States. In
stead of being engraved on the dies
the signatures will be printed from
steel engravings just before' the
bills are Issued.
Seizing upon this opportunity to
change the design of the money,
the treasury has placed on the back
of the bill a reproduction of the
Great Seal of the United States,
picturing the reverse side of the
seal for the first time in the his
tory of American currency.
The front of the Great Seal Is
the familiar American eagle with
a shield, grasping an olive branch
In one talon and arrows In the oth
er talon, surmounted by 13 star?
and the Latin motto, "E Pluribus
Unum." !-
The reverse of the Great Seal,
used for the first time on money,
hows an unfinished pyramid, sur
mounted by an eye In. a triangular
glory. The pyramid bears In Roi
man numerals the year of the Dec
laration of Independence, "-, 1776.
A hove the eye Is the Latin motto

"Dead Man's Shadow"
Legend Still Exists
Langsvllle, Ohio. The strange
legend of the "Dead Man's Sha
dow" continues to exist here de
spite . scoffing skeptics. Unbe
lievers have only to look upon
the weird evidence and doubt
invariably assails them, believ
ers in the tale assert.
According to the legend, a
stranger walking along -a high
way near here was struck and
killed by a speeding automobile
several years ago. His body was
placed on concrete sidewalk
near .the scene of the accident
pending arrival of, an ambulance.
When the body was removed,

proportions of the victim re

Colorado, Ohio, Oregon 'and West
Virginia, It was enacted br congress

and Oklahoma, established patrols

souri, New Mexico, North Carolina,

takings." The motto at the bottom
Is "Novas Ordo Seclorum" and is
translated as "A New Order of the
Ages." The eye and triangular
glory symbolize an all-seeing Deity.
The pyramid Is the symbol of
strength and Its unfinished condi
tion denotes the belief of the de
signers of the Great Seal that there
was still work to be done. Both
the mottoes on the reverse of the
seal are condensations of excerpts
from Virgil's Aeneld.
The first committee on the Great
Seal was, formed on the afternoon
of July 4, 1776, and consisted of
Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson-
and John Adams.- The Great
Seal as finally adopted was largely
the work of Charles Thomson, sec
retary of congress, and William
Barton, a private citizen of Phila
delphia. The design was officially
adopted on June 20, 1782,' by fun
damental law. The Great Seal was
again ratified alter the Constitu
tion was adopted In (1789. . ' s
OF SILK-KNIT YARN
. Br CHERIE NICHOLAS : : '
If you are of the knlt-it-yourself
persuasion this handsome two-piece
will interest you, for it Is knit and
crocheted of a pure silk yarn guar
anteed not to stretch or Sag. , When
yoa come to think of It, seeing that so
much time and effort Is given to the
making of the hand-knitted dress. It

, "Fifteen states enacted . legisla

be equipped with safety glass. This

"Five states passed laws provid

up to 14. This movement had its In
ception along the Atlantic seaboard,
but it Is now apparently spreading
to mountain and Pacific coast states,
Indicating a more general trend to
ward national acceptance. - - .
iV"A i f drivers' license law was
adopted this year by: Idaho, Mon
tana, North Carolina, North Da
kota, and Utah, bringing the list up
to 34. There Is . little doubt that
drivers' license' law, coupled with
a -safety-responsibility law, are
proving the most effective measure
from the standpoint of control of
the reckless and Irresponsible driv
er, and states Which lack this leg
islation are at a decided disadvan

Hull, has taught him to: :'
Obey signs made with the An

alarm clock rings; fetch him to
the front door to answer , the
bell, answer the. telephone. '"....
When the telephone rings, Dlxl
takes the receiver off and runs
barking furiously to attract the
attention of bis master. Sound
vibrations of the telephone are
sufficiently-amplified for a deaf

Increased Air Mail Use
Due to Cut in Postage

are being transported by United
Air lines, which flew 638 tons in
the last three months contrasted
with 422 tons In the sAme period of
1934, President W, A. Patterson an
nounced. A ' ton Is equivalent to
60,000 pieces of mall, a total of
38,280,000 letters and packages car
ried by United In the past three
months. The Increased mall loads,
however, do . not mean. Increased In
come for United, which Is paid on
a per-mile basis rather than on a
poundage basis. '-, '
; The Increase Is attributed largely
to reduction of air mall postage to
8 cents an ounce and faster sched
