provement in divers equipment, the
rubber suit, helmet or the pumps that
send down the air, and the outfit Of
decade ago is as up to date as the one
made yesterday. yet the modern diver
has a number of advantages over his
contemporary of even a few years
ago. The use of the telephone has
been one of the improvements that
comes in handy. but the greatest OF
all is the pneumatic tool.
BY means of compressed air tools
a diver can now do more in one hour
than he could in five with hand
powered tools, because his diving
suit so hampers the freedom Of his
arms. With a pneumatic tool all he
has to do is to hold the machine still
and the air does the rest. He can
carry a pneumatic tool wherever he
can go, for the hose that feeds II Is
no larger than his air hose. and be-
sides. the pressure of the water
greatly reduces the weight of the
tool; so much so that in deep water
it is necessary to weight it down 50
the diver can control It.
These pneumatic tools will do any
thing that can be done by hand. They
will operate augers or drills and will
also hammer. They are the greatest
aid to the diver in all kinds of con-
struction work.
While diving. as a trade. IS followed
by few. the United States Navy has "A
school for divers and encourages
young men of exceptional physical
stamina to take up the work. At this
school the young men are taught how
to take care of themselves in emer-
) gencies and, before they are gradu-
ated. they have been through many

experiences are carefully planned and

two or more divers and there is

power presses when they were intro
duced for stamp manufacture. but
not so much as now confronts the
champions Of the power press for
money printing.
Whatever be the decision OF Con-
gress. sitting as a jury. as to the fate
of the hand presses in the money shop
there will be no Interference with the
work of the expert engravers who
trace the designs in steel that are
used to embellish our paper money.
Almost all of this work Is. of neces-
sitv. the most tedious form Of hand
labor and there is little likelihood that
even in this mechanical age any
serious attempt will ever be made to
execute the printing plates automatic
ally. Indeed IT begins 10 look as
though Uncle Sans present schemes
for new economies in money making
would indirectly result in extra work
for the steel engravers who make the
most extensively circulated likenesses
Of our Presidents. to say nothing Of
the coveted pictures of eagles and
indians and other emblemauc de-
signs.
The explanation lies in the fact that
there is in the air another big scheme
for cost cutting-one that can be put
through no matter whether next
years currency be printed by hand OF
on power presses. This contemplates
a reduction in the size Of our cur
rency. II the plan IS carried out the
birs we will be handing out a few
years hence for the necessities and
luxuries Of life will be approximately
/ one-thfrd smaller than those when
make the mare go today. All tho
high officials Of the Treasury Depart
ment are in favor Of this smaller cur
rency. They say that fl would be
more economical to print and more
convenient to store and handle, ana
this latter Is "A consideration with
Uncle Sam, who always keeps on
hand a stock of hundreds OF millions
Of dollars in fresh. cracxly money.
The man in the street. too, would
presumably find the new-size bills
easier to handle and all the manu-
facturers Of pocket books would have
the best Of excuses for getting out
new line Of products.
But even if one is convinced that
the day of the power press IN our
money making is coming 1t does not
necessarily follow that it will be this
year or next. In government circles
il is the belief that Congress would
have authorized the introduction OF
the new class of money-making ma
chinery three years ago had IL not
been for the opposition of organized
labor. These same interests might
have frowned upon the appropria-
ton to install power presses for print
ing stamps had it not slipped by
them in Congress. But on the other
hand there is the circumstance that
practically every civilized govern
lnent except the United States Is now
using currency printed on power
presses and a committee of Congress
has gotten together specimens Of cur
rency printed on power presses which
it is claimed are just as clear and
just as artistic as the handmade bills.
Anyhow it is going to be a lively
fight and one which the mere money
users Will watch with interest.

~ F all callings that embrace dan
ger and romance that of diving
probably comes first, and well
~ it might, for not only does a
diver work in an element foreign to
his own, but he faces a score or more
of dangers, any one of which might
be fatal. Not only are there the dan
gers of accidents under the water, but
the divers life is always in the hands
OF his helpers who must, while he is
below, not fail for a moment to keep
the life-giving air pump going but
they must be able to comprehend his
signals and act accordingly and
promptly.
Scores of stories of the work of
divers have been written. Some of
them are true, some are fiction, but
whether real or imagined they do not
in the least detract from the romance
that seems to shine like a halo around
those who perform their work deep
under the water.
Usually divers are associated with
sunken treasure, wrecks. the gather
ing of shells, pearl oysters and sponges
and but few give a thought to the
fact that the diver is engaged in nu-
merous other, and less romantic, occu-
pations in which risks far greater
than the mere going into a wreck are
taken.
In bridge building, for instance
divers are frequently employed to lay
the foundations for the great pillars
of stone and concrete that will sup
port one of the spans of the structure.
A notable piece of work of this char
acter was done on a bridge that was
built a couple of years ago at Cape
Colony. There it was necessary that
a foundation be laid in $50 feet of
water
One hundred and eighty feet of
water is a depth that is very seldom

- HERE are probably very few
people who care about making
money at all,-and who of us
~ does not,-who do not dream
of making money quickly. And that,
Just now is the latest ambition of
Uncle Sam. only in the case of our
common relative the ambition has to
do with actual and literal money max
ing and not with the earning of
money. And because Uncle Sam does
carry on his own money making, or
currency manufacture, to give more
prosaic name, he bids fair to realize
his hopes for swelling the stream of
legal tender, although just how this
is to be accomplished is yet a mooted
question
It is interesting to note in connec-
ton with the situation that has lately
arisen, that heretofore Uncle Sam has
not worried much about getting rich
quick in this fashion. There was, to
be sure, an occasional instance when
there seemed to be a shortage of the
all-powerful circulating medium, but
for the most part the governme s
money factories keep pace with the
growing appetite for coin and cur
rency without the necessity of asking
the money-makers to work overtime.
Gradually, however, there was
wrought a change of conditions and
several times within the past few
years the Federal government has
been threatened with a partial money
famine of one kind or anOther-each
presenting more of a problem than
the knotty situations that preceded
it and the most perpleXing of all now
awaiting solution in the early weeks
OF 1912.
Oddly enough the Increased cost
of living is not the new influence that
has brought home to Uncle Sam the
need for more rapid money making.
Or, at least it is only one of several
causes and probably the least i'm
portant of the lot A more potent
factor has been the increasing use and
popularity of paper money Not so
many years ago one saw very little
currency on the Pacific Coast and in
other sections of the country remote
from the currency mandatory, but
now most people have awakened to
the convenience of currency and the
bank notes and Treasury certificates
have been to a considerable extent
driving out the gold and the silver
dollars Close on the heels of the in
creased demand for currency came a
clamor for new money or clean
money. With the ultimate consum-
erS demanding crisp new blilS II IN
evitably came about that the govern
ment had to exchange new money for
old after much shorter life of use
fulness than was the rule in the old
days. and this more rapid rotation OF
the circulating medium was forthwith
reflected in a correspondingly more
rapid rate of production at the money
printery-
The last straw seems to have come
within the past few months in the
form of a demand upon the part OF
the business world for more currency

A CALL 70 FIGHT.

Rev. John T.. Carroll, bishop Of the
Catholic diocese OF Montana, IN clos
Ing his Chicago visit with an appeal
20 Catholic organizations TO open q
frontal attack upon socialism, offers
a valuable suggestion to other Ameri-
cans who fear the menace OF these
doctrines, says the Chicago Post.
The time has probably passed when
socialism can be disposed Of In the
United States by disregarding 1t or
by ridiculing It, Thousands OF our
citizens see In II propagandas that are
I'M American. Our business men view
its economic policies with distrust and
suspicion. They want none OF 1t on
this side of the water, no matter how
powerful II may grow in Germany or
France.
why. then, do they not say SO? Why
can they not organize 10 prevent its
further acquisition Of power In our
cities or in congress?
The road for their attack lies open.
Men whose knowledge OF socialism Is
profound see In Its general schems
points so weak as TO invite intelligent
and destructive onslaught. The party
itself has been forced by the sheer
logic of events to recede from some OF
the most fundamental doctrines laid
down by Karl Marx
New times compel new remedies.
Bishop Carroll suggests that the hour
has come for meeting organized So
cialism with organized anti-sociallsin.
The hint Is plain. Understanding OF
an enemy's plans is the first requisite
to defeating them.
