MONEY COUNTS
TREMENDOUS JOB
The Biggest Pile of Money
in the World Will be in
Burke's Care.

Ex-Governor John Burke will have
to wait some time before he can take
charge of Uncle Sans gold pile. In
the meanwhile there is nothing to do
but count money. Weigh great sacks
of gold, paw over great bundles of
checks and notes, This may
appeal to the chap who can figure
out his whole fortune on the fingers
Of his left hand. but 1t is proving a
bore to the employees Of the United
States treasury department Who are
shaving to give 'Carmi Thompson a
clean bill and let John Burke assume
the treasurership of the United States
with every penny Of Uncle Sans funds
Accounted for.
The quadrennial count. which be-
gan several days ago. Is a task which
would take a single man, counting
dollar by dollar, some 800 years to fin
ish. For there is a billion and a half
in the vaults. the biggest surplus
known in the history Of the nation.
During the count not a cent of
the money will leave the vaults. Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo APP
pointed a committee of employees to
seal up the strong rooms, saving out
enough money to meet current ex-
penses, and until the counters officially
began. the seals were unbrokcn. Armed
guards stand over the workmen to see
that they are not molested and to
guard against "mistakes." Some twen-
ty years ago a workman made a "mis-
take" putting slugs Of lead in several
sacks of silver. 1t took months to fig
ure out the shortage. the count having
practically to be done over
AS 1t would be impossible for the
count to be made dollar for dollar
inside of many years, the counters
are working on the weight basis
Sacks Of gold and silver containing
$1,000 are carefully weighed and useN
as a standard. By these. the rest OF
the money. similarly sacked. is weigh.
ed on scales that register almost to a
hair. Thus. 1t is expected that tho
task will be completed in about two
months. After all is verified, Mr.
Thompson will turn over the cash of.
ficially to Mr.. Burke, take a receip'
