Machine Counts Uncle Sans Money

pour the silver stream into the hop
pers are of the female sex.
But there is one place in the life Of
the coin where it must be counted by
hand, and that is when it comes back
to the treasury for redemption.
The money then must be gone over
by hand to separate the foreign. mu-
tilated, worn out and counterfeit
pieces, a work that requires very
quick precision. and women have been
found to do it exceedingly Wei. Usu-
ally they can detect counterfeit coin
by it's color as it lies among the 9TH
ers on the table, but If not then, the
operator captures it when she tosses
it from one hand to another, for there
is a false ring in it's chink as it leaps
into her palm. ut is remarkable" said
a treasury employee recently. how
many counterfeit copper cents come
in, especially when one calls to mind
how little profit there is in making
them. OF course. as they are of such
small denomination, they can be
passed without much chance of sus
picion being aroused, rs few people
trouble themselves to examine 6
penny. 1t has been found that most
of the counterfeit pennies are made
by Italians in New York city, and the,
put them into circulation to a greal
extent through peddlers and small
store keepers.

A GENERAL cleanup of the records
"A Of the postoff1ce department in
Washington recently brought to light
list of postal routes existing in the
United States in 1909. together with a
schedule of the time in which those
routes should be covered The pam
phlets were issued by Gideon Granger,
who was postmaster general under
Jefferson in 1901 and continued under
Madison in 1909. They are the earli-
est records of their kind now In the
possession of the department.
In front of each pamphlet is a list
of the rules and regulations which
governed the distribution of the mails
just 100 years ago. They were brief
and to the point, and contained some
curious stipulations. In addition, the
pamphlet contained fines levied upon
mail carriers for delivering wet mails
and for other shortcomings.
The general rules were as follows

Observation-Disclosures Sam is now
w too big, too prosperous and too
much in hurry even to count his
money, and instead of counting his
coins by hand he simply runs them
through sort of hopper, operated by
electricity, and an automatic register
shows how many go through. The
coins fall into a bag and are tied up
and sealed, the government guaran-
teeing that the correct number are in
the bag.
The machine can make no mistake
hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making
his guaranty. In this way all the
money is now being counted out at
Washington, to go to the subtreas
uries and banks throughout the coun
try. The treasury does a great dea

purpose women are employed rather
