Jewish Girl's Face Is
On New 25 Cent Coins
NEW YORK.--(J. T. A.)—
Through her marriage it was
revealed that Miss Doris Ibis-
cher, whose face adorns the new
25 cent pieces issued by the Na-
tional Treasury, is a Jewess.
She was ioarried Sunday to Dr.
II. William Baum, at the Jewish
Institute of Religion.
Hiss Ihischer was selected
several years ago by govern-
ment representatives as the
model for the new 25 cent pieces
because she characterized "the
highest type of American wom-
anhood."
