Germany ASKING "WhY ~

Germany is beginning to be troubled
over the declining birth rate through
out the empire. Last year the excess
of births over deaths in Prussia was
100000, but in 1910 it was 5S1 600,
showing a loss of excess In one year of
81 900, or nearly 16 per cent. In Ba-
varia the excess of births over deaths
in 1910 was $1,000 and In 1911 only
1900, loss In excess of 1000, or
over II per cent The complete statis-
tics for the empire are not yet avail
able. but the Berlin statisticians re-
gard ii as certain that the years in
crease in population will be less than
10000. AS result the government OF
Prussia has instituted an inquiry into
the causes of the decline.-Exchange.

dates" printed Grand Opera House"
The dates are the sheets that go on
the billboards and show what night
the performance will be given. When
the manager of the opera house saw
the dates he was provoked.
you've got to git 'em changed TO
Jones opry House" he said. Jones,
that's my name. It's named after
me"
He insisted. SO the agent went to a
local newspaper office to see what he
could have the dates struck off for.
He found ii would cost IS. That was
too much He went back and told the
opera house manager. The latter
thought 1t over awhile

SMALLER PAPER MONEY.
Secretary Maoveagh's Plan to Reduce
the Size of Banknotes.


The size of all United States curren-
cy and national banknotes will be re-
duced by one-third and their designs
revoIutionized for the sake of econo-
mics to the government, convenience
TO the public and safety against coun-
terfeitlng If Secretary MacVeagh Of the
treasury has his way.
1t Is proposed to make the dimensions
by ~ inches. The paper money now
in circulation measures 7.2S by 3.04
inches. The designs of all paper money
United States notes and certificates
and national bank notes-would be sys-
tematized and made uniform for every
denomination.
This move is expected to save the gov
eminent about 100000 annually and
the national banks, which pay for the
plates for their notes and part of the
cost of redemption. about 100000.
For many months the only deterrent
to the step by executive authorities has
been the belief that it would be neces-
sary for congress to appropriate about
100000 to replace the national bank
plates which have been paid for by the
national banks. This problem has been
solved by plan to have the general
design Of all national bank notes uni
form, requiring only one engraved
plate for each denomination, and to
place on the notes by surface printing
the name, location and charter number
of the bank. This would do away with
separate plates for each bank.
Eighteen months would be required
to effect the change To meet the OBJ
lection that for time at least there
would be two sizes of currency in cir
culation 1t has been suggested that the
government print in advance a sufii-
Client quantity of the notes of the new
size to be exchanged at the subtreas-
uries and national banks on fixed
date. The change could be substantial
ly accomplished within few days,
treasury officials believe.
There are now nineteen different de
signs Of currency The change would
reduce these to nine. Each denomina-
ton would be characterized by dis
tinctiyely American historical portrait
engraved In the center of the note. In
time the portrait would be distinguish
ing feature of each denomination and
would be a safeguard against counter
feiting, especially the prevalent prac-
tice of raising a note to higher de-
nomination.-Ka City Star.
