Twelve amendments TO the report OF

CLEAN MONEY HARD TO GET
U. S. Circulates Dirty Bills. Be-
cause of Paper Famine.

washington, Oct. 6.-For the first
time in many years the United States
Treasury is circulating dirty and time
worn currency. The Treasury's supply
Of paper for the printing Of money is
deficient by 6O,OO000O sheets, or enough
TO make 24O,OOOOO0 notes, with a prob
able value in excess Of S1,OOO,OOO.CO.
Because of this scarcity Of new pa
per. Treasurer Burke to-day gave or
ders that no paper money however
dirty. should be destroyed.
The failure of the money washing
machine to effect as great saving as
expected is said TO be responsible Tor
the situation. with prospect OF great
economy through the laundering OF
notes. Congress materially decreased
the appropriation for paper.
This has resulted in deficiency, be-
cause the Treasury Department has so
far been able to wash only 10 per cent
of silver certificates.
