When Leon Henderson, price administrator, started out to figure ceilings on Alaska's prices, he ran into a difficulty that must have seemed odd to an Easterner." The i Alaskans don't know the use of i penny. The Westerner sees nothing unusual in that. Until comparatively recently most Western states knew the copper penny only as a coin with which to buy postage stamps or to place in the Sunday school collection plate. For any real purchase the nickel was the smallest coin recognized. Even today in some communities, particularly the remoter ones, this custom exists.

Deals in Bold Figures. The West likes to deal In bold figures, and is impatient with petty details. That, plus what amounted to a chronic shortage of coin, led to this aberration. There was a time when even the nickel was despised. Today the expression "two bits," meaning a quarter of a dollar, is current throughout America.

"Four bits," for a half dollar, and "six bits" for seventy-five cents, are rarer and used mostly in the West. But the whole thing goes back to a time! when coin was so scarce in the West that Spanish money had to be used, and is closely connected with that fascinating expression, "pieces of eight," which John Silver's parrot cried with such thrilling effect all the way through that classic of boyhood, Stevenson's "Treasure Island." Word Dollar From "Thaler." It seems a far cry from piratical treasure to western spending money, ment.

To begin with, the very word dollar probably came to us via Spain. It is an English Corruption of the word "thaler," the name of a silver coin at one time current Europe, and Easterners and tenderfeet, Just as particularly in Germany and the later the same people who tried to Low Countries. "Thaler" isself is ajspend pennies in the days when the What Missoula Was Reading This Date In 1922 David C. O'Kecffe is dead. The end came suddenly last night for the last known survivor of the Mul-lan expedition, and one of the few remaining witnesses of the stirring scenes of the early days, a pioneer of rare courage and quick action, and a lovable and interesting resident of Missoula.

He was 87. The sensation of the last week of the primary campaign is the whirlwind fight of Senator John H. McKay of Noxon for the Democratic nomination for Congress.

Fiesta Speaker Goes to Glacier Kalispell, Aug. 23. Jose L. Colom of Washington, D. principal speaker at the Pan-American fiesta in Kalispell, yesterday, left today in company with Carl Hummer and Tom Hand.

They went to the west entrance of Glacier park where Mr. Colom was met by a park official and escorted to Glacier Park hotel at the east entrance. After viewing the park, he will return to the capital. Last evening, he was guest of honor at a dinner given by a group of local couples. Miss Louise An derson and Miss Betty Saling sang vocal numbers at the dinner, ac companied by Dale Cutler.

-Receipt of a telegram of con gratulations on the fiesta from Vice President Henry A. Wallace was announced by the executive committee of the fiesta. A wire also was read from the Pan-American league of Great Falls. GOP's Gather in Annual Convention Billings, Aug. 23.

SOLDIER KILLS A GIRL. Aberdeen, S. Aug. 73. UP) Several hours after the nude body 19-year-old Dorothy Blair was found today in Foote creek, two miles southwest of here near a night rested.

He admitted he killed her. Police Commissioner R. S. Wallace announced. Wallace said the man was Private Robert B.

Vanderwalker, 21, of Neenah, a student glider pilot at a training school here. The body of the girl, missing since Monday, was found weighted down by a rock-filled bucket, attached to her body by barbed wire. The Old cession to the decimal system of currency. The 'short bit was 10 cents, and the long bit was fifteen cents, both 'together making up the two bit piece, or quarter. In some of -Twain's early writings ref erence is made to the "short bit" and "long bit." For example, cross ing Central America In December, 1866, he wrote back to his San Francisco newspaper of the cheap ness of "You can buy as much of any one article as you can' possibly want for a dime bring along your 'short bits' when you come this way." In most cases this use of the short bit and the long bit was academic rather than practical.

Usually the quarter was about the smallest coin circulating, and after settlement grew the Spanish or Mexican dollar depreciated, and its use gradually diminished. So the Westerner, in asking the price of something which was below the value of a quarter, such as a lead pencil or a cheap cigar, was told that it was either a "short bit" or a "long bit," as the case might be. Two for Two Bits. Since there was a dearth of dimes and nickels were even more nonexistent, the habit frequently was to price small articles a long bit two for two bits; a short bit three for two bits. This avoided embarrass- since a quarter was usually the smallest coin he had in his pocket, Greenhorns Used Pennies.

People with nickels in their pockets were nromDtlv ticketed as lowest medium had descended to a nickel were regarded with amuse ment as greenhorns. The writer well remembers as a boy in the inland town of Vernal, Utah, seeing a visitor pricing a cheap lead pencil. He was told they were two for a nickel, "But," said the visitor, "I don't want two. I only want one." The merchant scratched his head and stared in perplexity at this re markable statement. "Come now," insisted the cus tomer.

"If you sell two of these for a nickel, you certainly ought to sell one for 3 cents. Here." He reached Into a pocket, brought lorth three coppers, picked up a pencil and held the coins out to the storekeeper. For a long minute the merchant stared, seeming to expand with some hidden emotion. Then he exploded. "Take that damn pencil and get out of here," he shouted.

"And take your pennies along with you! Don't never come back In here, neither. This is a store, not a postoffice. We don't like small money here, nor the small folks that try to spend it!" While this prejudice undoubtedly is provincial, it was very much a part of the free and easy spirit of the early West. And it is today apparently a part of the same kind of spirit in our last frontier In Alaska. Leon Henderson very properly has acceded to this feeling.

The Alaska price ceilings, he has announced, will be "adjusted to the nearest nickel." Lightning Starts Big Fire in Idaho Cascade, Idaho, Aug. 23. (P) Flames roared through heavy stands of spruce and pine on both the Idaho and Payette national forests today, as planes swooped through the smoky area to drop food and supplies to a weary force of fire fighters. Thomas Van Meter of Boise, Payette forest supervisor, said the con- valli county Is on a sounder financial basis which brought about a decrease of near 20 per cent in the 1942 tax bill as adopted by the board of commissioners, there is still a source of concern in the delinquent personal taxes, according to the report of A. M.

Johnson, deputy state examiner, as submitted for the last fiscal year. Personal tax delinquin-cies as of April 30 this year, total $22,255.68. Mr. Johnson's report says In part "There are some taxpayers who have been delinquent for years. The non-collection of personal taxes simply throws that much more of a tax burden on the real estate taxpayers We believe It is the duty of the county commissioners to see that the treasurer properly collects personal taxes as required by law." The delinquincles extend back to 1930 "and prior" according to the Johnson report.

Kiwanis Opens District Meet Butte. Aug. 23. OP) Guy H. Vande Bogart, international trustee of Havre, and George E.

Snell of Billings, honorary lieutenant governor of division principal speakers at opening sessions of the! twenty-second annual meeting of the Montana district of Kiwanis International here today. Discussing "the measure of democracy," Mr. Vande Bogart declared that the real measure of democracy at the present time Is our willingness to sacrifice. "In order to maintain democracy, we will not only have to give a full measure of our time, ability and energy to the Kiwanis war program, but we will have to sacrifice, as individuals, certain privileges we have been accustomed t6 under democracy," he declared. Discussing "what to do in a revolution," Mr.

Snell delivered a stirring appeal for the "preservation of the great moral and spiritual values which have made this nation great and strong." "When we have achieved our vic tory in arms," he said, "it will be Indeed a hollow and an empty vic tory if, In the process, we have lest sight of these moral and spiritual values and they are lost to us."

Alice Sather, here. Shell Game to spread out and stop everything from bothering the men who were going to blow up the cost defense guns." "How did you feel before it all began?" the three were asked by John MacVane, NBC war reporter. Corporal Brady said: "I don't know how Sergeant Stimpson felt but I had a kind of crawling feeling in my stomach. One of the com mandos slapped me on the back gave confidence. I'm sure I didn't think at all: I didn't have time.

Cut Through Barb-Wire. "We had to race across the beach as they were firing at our boats. We had to scale ladders to get up where we were going, and when we were faced with barbed-wire we had to cut right through it. "We had to take cover from one of the other pill boxes 200 yards away. The machine gun fire was pretty thick down In that gully, and you could hear the snipers ten Germans came upon us.

We waited until they got within 15 yards to give it to them. We dropped three or four and the rest scattered." Sergeant Szima declared he was with a party which went to destroy the German coastal defense guns. On the way to the guns, he said, his group passed through an orchard and exchanged shots with snipers hidden in the trees. "One sniper's bullet knocked my shook cap off," Szima said. "I didn't wear a helmet, just the regular commando cap I scooped my cap up and went on with the rest of them.

I was standing near a stable and a German threw a hand grenade out of the window when my back was turned, but I was lucky for Just at that moment I stepped around a corner." Said Would Never Go Back, but Goes Pueblo, Aug. 23. Fred Ackerman, 37, the man who "would never go back," was well on his way back tonight to the state peniten tiary at Canon City from which he escaped last Monday morning. Ackerman was captured here to night by four Pueblo patrolmen and, though armed, he surrendered meekly. Ackerman and Harold Hathaway, 32, fled from the penitentiary Monday when they picked up a planted gun, held up a tower guard, and stole a car In Canon City.

Hatha' way was captured here Tuesday after a running gunfight on the road to Slloam, west of Pueblo. When taken into custody tonight, Ackerman still carried the .38 caliber revolver he had taken from the prison guard, and he still wore the effects of a 30-foot plunge over an embankment near Florence to escape a posse that was hot on his heels. trcr, luauu. Aires Of Too Early Rising Weiser, Idaho. Aug.

23. (JP Resident of this Western Idaho town of approximately 3.000 persons are tired of getting up early. So, effective Sept. 1, Weiser, county seat of Washington county, is abandoning war time and returning to Mountain Standard time. There long has been agitation in Western Idaho for removal from the Montaln to (he Pacific time Wt vmips have out that the southwestern portion of the state was 45 minutes ahead modified form of Joachimsthaler (Joachim's dale), a locality which gave its name to the coin.

A rich sliver mine was discovered in Joachimsthaler in 1516, and the count of Schlitz, who was overlord of this mining district in Bohemia, began having coins struck, bearing! the effigy of St. Joachim, in value equivalent to the golden gulden, then current in Germany. This coin reached England through commerce, and became known as the dollar, which was the English rendition of thaler. Because the Spanish peso was of a somewhat similiar value, the English spoke of it as a dollar, too. Pieces of Eight.

The peso was divided into eight reals, which often were separated by means of a chisel Into their com- Iponent parts. The writes teas two of these divided pieces of eight, dating back to Porto Bello days, brought from Central America. Their shape is triangular, except that their short side Is rounded, much as would be a narrow piece of pie, clearly showing how they were cut out of the original peso. It was this custom which gave the name pieces of eight to the Spanish coins. But the name "dollar" stuck.

The American colonies dealt with the Spaniards, and the Spanish peso or dollar was current in commerce. When, in 1887, the newly created United States established the decimal system of coinage, the name dollar was adopted as the unit, and has remained so since. In 1797, when the bank of England suspended cash payments and the scarcity of coin became very great, the bank put into circulation a large supply of these Spanish coins, counter-marking them at the mint either with a small oval bust of George III. or simply with the Initials (George, rex), Inclosed In shield. Little Coin in West.

When the West was opened and the first settlers went across the plains and mountains, they carried very little coin with them. Even in Missouri. Spanish pesos were com mon exchange. Traaers leaving r4t frtr trari tn Santa Fe and other New Mexican sian Infantry and tank attacks were repelled in the Kaluga and Rzhev sectors southwest and northwest of Moscow. Soviet thrusts southeast of Lake Ilmen and outside Lenin-grad were said to have collapsed.

The Germans claimed their air force destroyed two freighters and a tug on the Volga. The destruction of. 161 tanks, 86 of them on the front of a single army corps, was reported In the Moscow sectors, indicating very heavy Russian attacks.) Greatest Effort. The Germans were making their greatest effort before Stalingrad where success would give them one of their ultimate objectives for the entire 1942 campaign as waged so far. Stalingrad with its vast tractor plants which now produce tanks, its oil refineries and numerous other industrial plants is a rich prize in itself.

But even more important is its location athwart the Volga, Russia's main street along which the oil of Baku and the Allied supplies shipped the Persian gulf reach central Russia. The Russians defended themselves under agonizing conditions with a hot west wind and shifting brush-fires showering them with ashes and embers. The narrow streams in that region were dried up and the wells were few and far apart. The Germans used the fires as a screen for mechanized attacks, but the Russians kept their heads above their trenches even while the flames crackled around them. They directed their own gunfire against the advancing enemy machines.

Withdrawals Continue. Continued Russian withdrawals were reported from both major Caucasus sectors, south of Krasnodar and southeast of Pyatigorsk. As the Red Army retreated below Pyatigorsk, the combat rolled through the foothills of the Caucasus mountains and fighting now Is underway in several sectors for mountain passes. Red Star said the Germans tried to break through one important pass with a heavy bombing and shelling preceding tank and In fantry attacks. Russian mountain defenses were reported to have forced the Germans to halt and fall back to their starting point.

An individual German force tried later to cut around the pass by breaking a path through a nearby steep gorge. Red Star said the Russians let the enemy move deep into the mountains and then cut them off and exterminated them. MAY TRY DANDELIONS. Minneapolis, Aug. 23.
