The avo cation is purely a sideline with the sneaker, but from It hp ririvs fm! H In collecting old coins Is perhaps Ijhard for Borne of us to picture but i to this gentleman It was very real. An old Spanish coin dated three or lour centuries ago brings to his mind i visions of the old days when this ; Pacific coast was dominated by the Spaniards and their gold laden ves sels were plying their trade Into various ports. The interesting part of this discussion to the listener ; was that right at our very door may be coins that are rich in historical ! background, and for that matter ex- ty press ceedlngly valuable If they chance to mmm ! be of the right coinage and age.

The only trouble in the past has wuere ana wnen tney used both metals without actual and adequate action in making the two metals w-equai ana interchangeable. The main trouble was that two-thirds of the people In the world, with noth ing but silver, were left entinelv out of consideration. It should be obvious, therefore, that if bimetal lism were now adopted by a few of me leading nations, mat the whole world would come in line, and we would at lasf have a world money, interchangeable, and if desired, fus able, and with a world bank and clearing house, there would be no movement of the metals between nations.

The planting of trees and shrubbery would bring the right-of-way into harmony with the station grounds.

The growing complexity of the world has placed a great responsibility on the shoulders of the average citizen. A century or more ago a nation could get along very nicely if all hands left the understanding and direction of things to a small, specialized group at the top. Tho great muss of people never bothered alxnit any problems not directly con nected with the events of daily life and the system worked out fairly well. But those days are gone forever. We must not only learn all we can about the ins and outs of the daily job; we must, whether we like it or not, become informed about the fntire world, because things that happen in far-away places on the other side of the globe can affect us in a profound and intimate way. It is often said that we need wise leadership in these com plicated times. That is quite true; but wise leadership is IKiweiless unless those whom it is to lead know what it is nil about. Humanity has seldom had quite as many chances !o go rushing down a steep place into the sea as it has today. The danger won't b6 avoided unless we of the rank and file keep mentally abreast of the times.
