C, Oct. 16.—The new currency notes of the Irish Free State, mark the latest addition to the world's money as represented by bits of inkel paper. They are printed in_ brighX colors according to dispatches, like the paper money of the United States, and in-~contrast to the somber black and white notes of the Bank of England, and the delicate blues and pinks of the French and Italian paper curren- cies. “With their millions of notes throughout the civilized world,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society. “the Irish notes represent the last link in the long chain of the evolu- tion of money. In earliest times man traded or bartered one product or article for another. But the need for a common denominator of value be- came apparent even with the first glimmeorings of civilization. The skins of animals served in this way when man was &till a hunter, while shells became the {irst money of tribes living near the sea. When man settled down and became an agriculturist or a herdsman, grain and cattle came into use as his measures of values. “Later man discovered metals and learned to work in them. Here were substances of relatively great value in small compass, and_ because of this and their imperishability, metal lumps and strips were soon adopted generally as money. “The metal was weighed for a long time whonever it changed hands. Then governments stepped in, made the pieces of uniform | weight and fineness, and placed | their marks on them. This was the important step of coining, as epoch- making as the adoption of metal money itself. In the Near East. mother of the civilization of Europe and America, coining was first prac- ticed in Lydia in Asia Mnor, about 700 B. C. Thence it spread west- ward to Greece, the Greek Colonies, Rome and Carthage. Governments Learn Short-Changing “For 500 vears or more all coins were of full valye. The stamped de- nomination on them merely identi- fied their real worth. But in the fourth century B. C. it was discov- ered almost hy accidegt that a strong government could take a piece of metal of relatively low [ fellow BOSCH RADIO Sold and Serviced By NEW BRITAIN AUTOMOTIVE EQUIP. & RUBBER CO. 26 Main Street F YOU'RE SICK OF “SQUAWKING’' RADIO HEAR BOSCH “‘28’" s132.0 fMhousands Rid Their Homes of Obsolete Tin-Panny Radios and Replace Them lWitll Marvelous New Bosch Popular-Priced Set That Gets Everything on the Air (New Bosch Owners Amazed at Superb Reception of Model 428"—Programs That Ordinary Radios Pass Over Come in Strong on Powerful New Set. r 80 many improvements have ‘been made in Radio during the ast 13 months that it's a safe tbet to say: ‘‘If your present ‘radio is over a year old, it isn't /doing justice to the wonderful vpro.nm that are being broad- Jeast daily and nightly—nor are lyou listening to half the stations [that are on the air. i Wherever 8 new Bosch “28" has re- iplaced an obsolete battery model, one of the first things the mnew Bosch jowner will state ‘is “Y never heard of ithat station before”—or “What's that station, it's & new one on me.” It's & [fact!

Thus token coin- age, or under-value money, came into existence, marking another im- portant step in money's evolution. 1t was partly real value and partly value based on trust in the issuing agency. The first token coins were issued in Syracuse, Sicily, at the time of the Athenlan invasion when the city state was greatly in need of quickly adding to its funds. In the United States all of our small silver, nickel and copper coins are tokens. None of them will melt down into metal of as great value as the de- nomination stamped on it. “Paper money may be fYooked upon as token money carried to its final extreme. A picce of it has no value at ail in itself; the value de- pends wholly on a promise printed on it. But although the idea of pa- per money might be expected to have developed easily from token money, no one in the West seems to have considered the matter feasible until more than a thousand years after token coins appeared. “Paper” Money Made of Clay “Paradoxically, the first ‘paper’ money was a brick; for the germ of the idea seems to have been born in Babylonia more than two thou- sand years before the Christian era. Bonds for the repayment of loans were written on clay tablets and haked. These passed from hand to hand as representations of the amounts involvedf Similarly, deposits were made with individuals, and clay-brick drafts were written against_them. Later brick bills of exchange transferred wealth from place to place. “In Europe paper to represent money first came into use, appar- ently, during the Middle Ages when the Jewish financiers of those days Pork and Beans 9¢ —packed by high grade packers. 15c size, —regular size; songs and 35C’ for quality, in all new shades. —block plaids —all colors —each neatly bound —below cost | qualities. whites and pinks. g 5298 47c All colors. —EXTRA SPECIAL!

Individu- als also accepted deposits of coin and bullion for safe keeping and issued receipts payable on demand Thus, the first modern gold and ver certificates circulated from hand to hand in place of the deposis. “The Bank of St. George at Ge- noa and the Bank of Venice were the first corporations to use paper money. Their bills were bullion cer- tificates. Because the use of these receipts was so much more con- venient than carrying about heavy bags of gold and silver, they be- came very popular with merchants and even circulated at a premium over coin. Au Age of Paper Values “From individual issues and bank issues of pawer money it was only a step to government issues. Prac- tically every civilized government now has its paper money. Bits of paper largely carry the tremendous money burden of the world. In Europe and the Americas alone, billions of dollars worth of hght paper money circulate while heavy ‘hard money’ remains in sacks in treasuries or merely serves in lim- ited quantities for small change. When to paper money is added the hundreds of miliions of checks that are written annually. this may truly be said to he an age of paper values. “While Europe, having forgotteu the negotiable documents of Baby- lonia, was still wholly dependent on metal coinage ‘or its money, China was independently evolving the idea of paper money. So far as is known the first paper currency in China was printed by a guild or association m 8§07 A, D. Tle bills were bullion certificates at first, but later, after several government issues of such certificates, the Chinese rulers turn- &% OCTOBER 16, 1928. promises to pay. U. 5, Has $3,500,000,000 in Paper “In the United States alone there is now outstanding more than five and a half billions of dollars in pa- per money. This is broadly of four kinds: (1) certificates which stand in the place of gold and silver, (2) government notes, which are mere promises to pay; (3) bank notes which are the promises of individual | banks, secured by United States bLonds; and (4) Federal Reserve Notes, issued by Federal Reserve tanks and secured by commercial paper. The unsecured notes make up conly about six per cent of the total. “Whenever unsecured government notes are issued intemperately the public loses confidence in their value and they depreciate. At one time after the Civil War, United States notes were worth only about one-third of their face values. The notes issued during the Amerl(‘nni Revolution by the Continental Con- | gress became so worthless that they gave birth to the expression,' not worth a Continental’ During the | World War and after, it required milllons of German paper marks to buy a single loaf of bread."
