VAULT TO HOLD
HALF BILLION
1t Has Been Built in Wash
ingtOn to Hold Uncle
Sans Wealth

WASHINGTON. June 1s--Recently
there has been completed at the
treasury department what is probably
the greatest steel vault i'm the world.
The vault in question is intended to
hold a half billion dollars of emerg-
ency currency which was authorized
by the Aldrich- -Vreeland bill. It was
begun under the administration Of
Secretary Cortelyou I'm the direct
charge Of Assistant Secretary L. A..
Coolidge. So perfect is it that small
army Of burglars would stand appalled,
at the task Of breaking into it. even
If they were able to gain access to
it,
The new vault is under the north
west corner of the building. below
the offices occupied by the division os
issue of the treasury department. The
roof Of the vault is about % feet under
the surface Of the street. It is even
considerable below the sub basement
of the treasury building, so that IL is
apparent that any midnight marauder
in seach of some hundreds of millions
OF emergency money has some ex-
cavating to do before he can even
reach the exterior OF the vault.
But one way there is to reach the
vault and that is by an elevator
which opens into the treasury depart
ment. The vault is Of steel through
out and Is So by 20 and is feet high.
All the steel inclosing the vault is
eight inches thick.
No less than seventeen miles Of wire
is wound around the vault and it is
practically impossible TO touch the ex-
terror of the vault in any fashion with
out setting Of an alarm. Even la
imagination it is almost impossible ID
conjure up a method by which the
vault could be robbed.
The Aldrich- -Vreeland law require;
that $3.50. 100000 in emergency cur.
rency be printed. About two-third'
Of this is already in the vault This
currency cannot be distinguished from
ordinary currency. and If 1t SHOULD
get into the channels of exchange
would be traceable only with great
difficulty.

SNAKES DRIVE

in Connecticut

SOUTH NORWAI.k, Conn. June Is
Five long g-distance rattlesnakes are help
ing themselves to the freedom Of this city.
and until they arc captured residents gem
orally will continue to do business from
the tree tops.
The fact that the unwelcome wrigglers
carry an ante-mortem punch in every
fang and are not of the sterilized. mu-
scum brand has not served TO resssure
the populace to any great extent. Strictly
speaking South Norwalk is up in the air.
and viii remain there until the snakes
comes forth and outline their future policy
toward the natives.
Up to yesterday the snakes occupiedsa a
glass-covered box I'm the window OF A. w
Dreyfuss' cigar store. where they. set up
light Housekeeping immediately after they
were brought down from Kent mountains
by the members of the, ,Schaghticoke Rat
tlesnake Club.
Answering to the names Of Bill. Jim,
Mike. Teddy and Alice. they appeared to
be perfectly contented Mike and Teddy
learned to chew tobacco and Alice de-
ve.oped the cigarette habit. but aside
from that no one could point a finger at
to. because South Norwalk is a popular
railroad center and fingers are not any
too plentiful.
Mouse Turned Them Loose.
No one knows whether they grew weary
of continuous frog diet or objected to
being in the same company with stogies,
but the fact remains that they sulked
all day Monday. A nice fat mouse was
dropped into the cage to cheer them up,
but they kept exclusively 10 themselves
and Mr.. Mouse got busy knawing his way
to freedom. lie knawed so hard that he
loosened board and presently he was act
ing as drum major for the escaping
snakes.
The first MT Dreyfuss knew that any
/ thing was wrong was when he approached
the store yesterday and saw one OF his
best customers sitting on the head OF
Powhatan. the faithful wooden Indian
outside the door. The customer said he
met the snakes as they were departing
/ and that he broke all vaulting records
reaching the Indians head
When Dreyfuss found the box empty he

JOYOUS SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS NOW

BY SHIRLEY A. OLYMPUS

the possession Of rich fathers glue
their faces to the windows and look
longingly at the toys which are not
for them.
In a Hill street window there is dis
played a big, two-seat four-passenger,
foot-propelled auto wagon. An urchln
stood before that window with the re-
mark, "Golly, | wish / was rich so L
could have d little red wagon" The
auto wagon was marked 800. little
red wagon would cost $3.50. VIII he
get his wagon?
Two questions are always asked at
Christmastide.
What shall | get for her?
What shall [ get for him?
If the him" or the her be four
or forty, there is something in some
store which will exactly suit. There
never was such a display of attractive
things. But they all cost little more
money than they did last year, and
they are all just a little finer.
Every year the Christmas pocket
book has to be enlarged. Twenty
years ago a little red wagon and a
simple hobbyhOrse were enough to sat
isfy the demands of the rising gen.
Grafton. Today it must be an auto
wagon, a "shoot the chutes" slide, a
mechanical doll with really truly
hair, and eyes that open and shut, and
a really truly voice"
OF course. the more complicated the
presents the more expensive. Father
used to say: Here, mother, is $25
/ think that will be enough for pres
ents this year" And mother always
made $25 buy all the children some
thing nice. Today father has to say,
Mother, here's my check book. Go
as far as you have to- but remember
we shall have to live next summer"
Mother probably spends ten times
what she did twenty years ago. Does
she get ten times the pleasure out of
giving?
There may not be any snow upon
the ground in Los Angeles, but there is
just as much Christmas spirit here as
in the frozen east. Santa Claus may
have TO make his visit to little An
gelenos in an auto or an airship but
he will come here just the same to
fulfill the message of "Peace on earth,
good will towards men," the Christmas
spirit of 1909.

USED RAKE PRONGS
ON DOG IS CHARGE
B. A. RH0ADES CHARGED WITH
GROSS BRUTALITY
Said to Have Sunk Iron Prongs into
Back of the Valuable Pet
of Attorney F. H.
Thompson

b. A. Rhoades of 1929 New Hamp-
shire street, accused of having brutal
ly injured a valuable dog belonging to
Attorney Fred H. Thompson OF 1431
South Vermont avenue by striking the
animal several times with the IRON
pronged end of a garden rake, pleaded
not guilty in Police Judge Roses
court yesterday to a charge Of cruelty
to animals and viii be tried before d
jury January IS.
According to Deputy District Attor-
ney Arthur Keetch, who issued the
complaint against Rhoades, the latter,
who lives across New Hampshire
street from the rear of the Thompson
premises, saw Thompson's dog MA
jor" and another dog fighting on the
attorneys lot.
Rhoades, it is said, then seized a
garden rake, ran across the street and,
Instead of using the club end of the
rake to separate the animals, struck
the Thompson dog over the middle of
the back with the iron prongs. The
animal howled with pain but before it
could get away Rhoades struck it
again.
The first blow, it is asserted, result
ed in three of the tines penetrating
the dogs shoulders to the depth of
nearly two inches, and the second
blow forced five of the rake prongs
through the back of the animal, pene-
trating the abdominal cavity.
At first 1t was believed by the own
er that the dog, for which he had re-
fused $3.50, had a broken back. A
veterinary was hurriedly summoned
and the injured animal was taken to
a dog hospital. It probably will have
to be shot.
