1t Is unnecessary to comment upon

1t Is unnecessary to comment upon
the question of damage as the EVIL
dence clearly shows that the jury
were warranted In the verdict which
they found upon this issue. There
could be no pro rating Of tie policy
in suit with the prior policy as the
prior policy became void when the
latter policy was issued and the
court so ruled at the trial No ques-
ton was raised that the policy o.
$1,000 was existing upon the property
insured at the time the policy in CON
troversy was taken out. 1t is admitted
in the case that Alonzo Smith who
procured the policy i'll suit. was the
agent of the defendant company. The
defendant claims that the existance of
another policy upon the property was
unknown to Smith and therefore a
breach of the plaintiffs warranty. The
only issue in fact was whether Smith
was Informed and had knowledge OF
the other existing policy. Upon this
issue Mr.. Brown, the insured and
Mrs. Brown, his wife, both testified
that the agent Smith, knew and IN
derstood about the insurance in the
Maine Farmers Fire Insurance Co.
In confederation of their testimony
the agent admits that either Mr. or
Mrs. Brown produced the very policy
of which he says he had no knowledge
and that he had it in his hands and
examined it and turned it over and
saw the transfer on the back side of
it,"
While Mr.. Smith denies that he
knew that the policy was alive, yet
the inference from the fact of his hay-
ing had the policy in his hands for
inspection is SO consistent with the
finding of the jury that the verdict
cannot be disturbed.

A rescript was just handed down by
the Law court that has considerable
interest to the people. The plaintiff
was formerly a resident of Skowhe-
gan, living on the road to Malbon's
Mills and the buildings were burned
about a year and a half ago. This
was a hard fought case, Merrill &
Merrill representing the plaintiff. The
rescript:
Amanda F. Heath VS.. Dirigo Mutual
Fire Insurance Co, Per curtain.
This is an action of assumpst
brought by the plaintiff to recover of
the defendant company the sum of
$1,000 and interest upon policy of in
surance issued to Robert S. Brown
and payable in case of loss to the
plaintiff, as her mortgage interest may
appear. The special matter of de-
Tense set up was that Brown repre-
sented and warranted in his applica

warranty was in fact untrue. The
verdict was for the full amount
claimed by the plaintiff. The case

but on a wholesale scale. Equally impor-
tant is the finding that this rejuvenation
can be accomplished cheaply, and finally
it is demonstrated that laundered currency
will have the body" and surface" that
is responsible for the crisp, crackly quality
that .endears new money" to many people.
The Treasury officials hope to have in
full operation by the close OF the sum-
mer a laundry plant at the United
States Bureau of Engraving and Printing
at Washington which will be capable or
giving a new lease of life to soiled and
wrinked currency at the rate OF one nun
dred thousand bills day. Present esti
mates are that this money laundry can De
operated at an expense not exceeding S20
day-that is. with an outlay of one-hftieth
of a cent for each bill laundered. Even
in the preliminary experiments, the cost
has not exceeded one-tenth Of a cent
note laundered. and inasmuch as 1t costs
1-3 cents to print each new note produced
at the bureau il can readily be appreciated
that the saving will be tremendous. At the
outset only the bills of small denomna-
tion--that is, the 81, 81 and So notes and
certificates-Wil be cleansed, these being
the bills that are subjected to the great
est wear and tear in circulation and are
the shortest lived.
The experiments which the Treasury ex-
perts have been carrying on have been to
determine the best and most economical
method OF laundering money rather than
to try out different chemical formulas for
the cleansing. This latter part of the un-
dertaking has followed the simplest lines.
Plain soap and water, the former good
grade OF potash soap. are the standbys of
the government laundrymen who have un-
dertaken the currency washing task. After
the money has been washed 1t Is rinsed
and Is then dried by artificial heat.
From this point all the finishing processes
are identical with those followed in the
case of newly printed currency. but special
machinery has been provided because the
unit to be handled in every instance is

which restores the body which has been
lost during the washing. Next the bills are

consists Of pressure between the rollers OF
a powerful press just as the fiat pieces in
the ordinary steam laundry are run
through mangle. The operation renders
the laundered money perfectly fiat and
gives 1t the distinctive surface or finish OF
money.
With a view to aiding further the banks
that decide 10 launder their own currency
the Treasury Department is planning to
make public all its laundry recipes and
formulas when ii has been determined by
the present tests just what are the best in

ing laundered a bill goes through the
regular sizing process, as in the case of
new bills. The cost of producing a new
note is $40 cents, while the cost Of laun-
dering is less than lilo OF a cent. Despite
this large saving Director Ralph is conf
dent that when the machine is finally per-
fected the cost Of making the old look new

mart of II is. although hereafter greater

uries and banking institutions throughout

Director Ralph, with the aid OF most
efficient corps OF expert chemists, after
much study and hard work has discovered
q chemical which VIII clean the money,

which will, after the bill is sized, prevent
the collection Of germs. The hyglenic
laboratory of the medical corps OF the
United States navy, cf which Medical Di-
rector Frank Anderson is IN charge. is ex-
perimenting with the old notes which have
been treated with this chemical, and so far
they have been found 10 be germ proof.
Work on the machine was begun some
time ago at the Instance Of Charles d.

work on the part OF the bureau chiefs.
The part played by Director Rsiph wsS "

finding machines which would be not only
Ia Dor saving but money saving devices.
AS result he has almost completed the
installation of an entirely new set of ma
chinery, the most advanced he could pro-
cure. About q year ago more than hun

the necessity for retrenchment, but the
director has restored all and has been com

The machine. which IS attracting much
attention, the bureau itself is constructing.
Director Ralph says it is far from perfect,
but he Is satisfied il Will meet all require
ments. II is the invention of the director,
will cost the government an insignificant
sum and will be ready for operation in the
near future. Upon the success of this ma
chine depends whether or not il will be in
troduced in every sub-treasury and large
banking institution in the country. The
greatest demand for these machines Will
undoubtedly come from the West. The
government does not ship much new money
10 the West, and rather than send soiled
money 20 their patrons the various bank
ing institutions ship at their own eX-
pense, wagonloa6s of soiled money to
Washington and pay expressage on the
new money sent back by the Treasury.
BY installing one of these laundering ma
chimes in a bank 1t Will prove a saving
not only of expressage, but of time and
trouble. and will insure the circulation of
clean money. The badly mutilated money
comes principally from the country dis
tricts and has TO be destroyed. At least
60 per cent of the money turned into the
Treasury for redemption can be washed
and put back into circulation.
The director is working on the various
details. Trays have been constructed of
copper frames and brass netting, parti-
toned off in ten spaces. each space to ac-
conmodate note. The trays are placed
one on top Of another and put into the ma
chine. The compartment which will &C
comnlodate these trays will be filled with
the chemical, and the trays will then, prob
ably mechanically. be moved back and
forth so that each bill will be thXoughly
