SHINING RECORD

To have performed the duties Of
a responsible position for ~ years
without making a single mistake
is an achievement which is prob
abbey unique in the annals Of
public service. Such is the envi-
able record of Mrs. VILLA A.
Leonard who at the age of 4. has
just resigned the post of chief of
counterfeit detectors in the
treasury department.
During her remarkable term of
service Mrs. Leonard was required
every day to pass upon the genuin-
ness of hundreds Of currency notes
Of various DENIM nations. The
notes passed first through the
hands of subordinate examiners
and came to Mrs. Leonard for final
judgemen: she being a sort of
supreme court whose opinion was
the last word. She never made an
error as to the character Of a note
though she had handled millions
and millions of dollars. Hers is
an unparalleled record of ecfiency
little short of genius.
