He Was Cool.
CFrom Tit-Bits.O

John Morrison. a successful commercial
traveller. has spent a great part OF his ca
reer in hotels. and one of his theories has
been that the mind can be SO trained that a
hotel fire ought not to distract the reason
ing faculties when presence OF mind is
needed. He impressed his theory strongly
upon Mrs Morrison by instructing her how
to act II they were ever in a hotel that was
on fire.
He and his wife were aroused from their
slumbers one night by an alarm. The hotel
in which they had their rooms was on fire.
and there was great confusion and tumult
among the guests.
'Now is the time to. put into practice
what 1 have always preached to you. my
dear" said the gentleman. Don't get ex-
cited. Put on your indispensable apparel
and take your time. Don't lose your head.
Just watch me-"
He Gained Mrs. Morrison's anxiety.
handed her the articles necessary to her
toilet, put on his collar and cuffs. took his
in his pocket. put on his hat, and walked
with Mrs. Morrison out Of the burning
building into the street.
Now. my dear" he said. when they
were safe don't you see what a grand
thing it is to keep cool and act with q de-
liberate purpose In an emergency like this !.
Here you are dressed, and over yonder are
several ladies in complete deshabiile."
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband.
You are right. john" she said. lit is
a grand thing to keep cool and act delib-
erately, but II had been you I would have
stayed in the room long enough to put on
my trousers"

ROBBED ON A LONELY ROAD.

Lambertville. N. j.. April 10.-William
Warman. = retired coal merchant, started
with a horse and carriage on Friday morn

man. who lives on a farm about miles
from here, taking several hundred dollars
to pay to his father. To make a shorter
route he took road but little travelled.
known as Warman's Road.
About IL O'Clock in the morning two or
three farmers saw q horse and carriage
standing near a tree. In the afternoon
and evening others saw the horse and car
riage In the same locality and late in the
evening the fact was reported to Lambert
T. Warman. who went hurriedly to the
spot and recognized the horse and carriage
as the property Of his son, William.
Search was begun. but William Warman
would not be found. Near noon Sunday.
he was found going toward the road near
his fathers residence in dazed condition.
His clothing was damp and he was suffer-
ing from cold and exposure.
He was assisted to his fathers home.
medical aid summoned, and he recovered
sufficiently to say that while driving leis-
urely along the road the day before he
was confronted by a rough looking man
who stopped the horse. walked to the car
riage. and pulled him out. At this time n
second man appeared. One took from his
pocket vial and they forced a portion Of
its contents into Warman's mouth, soon
after which he became insensible.
Where Warman roamed he has no idea.
but yesterday morning he found himself
in the field adjoining the road with all his
money gone.

SHALL Bills NOW
IN GREAT DEMAND
Result of the Immense, Vol
ume Of Business.
Carreacy Expansion Said to Be a
sl, Necessity.
Policy for Bank-NOte Reform Being
cOnsidered BY Financial
Experts.

The necessity for some means Of cur
rency expansion for meeting the future
growth Of the country beyond the means
afforded by the present bond-secured cir
culation is keenly felt at the Treasury De-
partment. as the result of the pressure for
small bills. There are more small bills
In circulation than ever before, but the
immense volume of business throughout
the country Is causing calls which tho
Treasury Is unable to meet from its mar
row margin Of available currency.
Most Of the pending propositions for
bank-note reform propose to limit the
bank notes to denominations Of SO and
above this amount. and to abolish the pres
ent bank notes for IS. The adoption Of
this policy. with provision for note issues
by the banks upon more elastic basis
than at present. would permit the banks to
furnish the large notes, which are limited
In amount and usually returned promptly
for redemption. while the Government
would be enabled to obtain the large Gov
ernment notes now in the hands Of the
banks and convert them into notes of small
denominations. Notes OF small denomina-
lions usually remain in circulation longer
than large notes. and would be much more
difiicult to get together for raiding the
Treasury.
The feeling exists in some quarters that
raising the authorized bank-nOte issues to
the par value of the bonds deposited as Sc
curity and the abolition or reduction OF
the existing tax on circulation would in
crease the profit OF the secured circula-
tion 10 such a point as to result in large
purchases Of bonds by the banks. There
are now outstanding s1.045. .775, ,290 of Unit
ed States bonds. OF which the national
banks have deposited with the Treasury. as
secuity for circulation, only 1924. .433. $50.
The banks have recently been reducing
their circulation based upon bonds because
of the small margin Of profit afforded by
the investment under the existing system.
The question how far changes in the law
would increase the profit upon circulation
and tempt the banks into the bond market
has been made the subject Of computations
by the actuary OF the Treasury. His cal
culations show some increase Of profit un-
der the proposed changes Of law. but
hardly enough to result in heavy bond pur-
chases by the banks. even under the pres
sure of a severe demand for currency.
