NEW BILLS TO
Be SIMPLE AND
MORE ARTISTIC
There Are Three Sorts of Money,
but All Are Similar in Most
Respects.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Be-
cause of the Inauguration of new
currency system Uncle Sans en-
ployes in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing are trying their skill in
producing an entirely new paper cur
rency
This currency will be of the same
size as the present circulation but
more artistic and simple in design.
1t will probably be more than year
before the new currency will be in
circulation.
The present CLANS of the Treasur"
Department contemplate three char
acters of paper money-the Federal
reserve note, which is TO displace the
emergency currency, the Issue or
which was extended year by the
new currency Jaw; the Federal bank
note. for issue as the circulation cur
rency medium of national banks; ana
national bank notes to- replace the
circulation of national banks that do
not cancel their present circulation
and that take advantage of all or
part of the 20-year period for the re-
tirement Of all national circulation.
The new notes are to be made in
the values of IS, SO, $40, $50. 500 and
upward. The three divisions of pa
per currency are to be similar in all
respects. except that each will be
characterized by the engraved words
Federal reserve currency" Federal
bank currency" or National bank
currency
The most striking feature of the
new bills will be their simplicity.
Much of the scroll and filigree work
so noticeable in the present paper
currency will be eliminated. While
some financial experts declare that
the new bills may easily be counter
feited officials of the Treasury De-
partment declare otherwise. The test
of the counterfeiters does not lay in
the scroll work or fingree work Of
the currencv. but in the paper itself.

DANCE LESSONS
AND PARTIES ARE
GIVEN IN CHURCH
indianapolis Unitarian Congrega-
ton Maintains Regular Room
for Balls.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 14.-Co'l-
ing forth as an eXponen. of dancing,
the Rev. Frank s. G. Wicks. pastor Of
All Souls Unitarian Church, declared
that his church encourages dancing.
and provides a room where dancing
parties are given and where instruc-
ton may be obtained twice a week.
Il believe the time will come when
other churches will make such pro-
visions for the amusement of young
people" said Mr.. Wicks.
AT the charity balls one may see
men and women from all of the lead
ing churches Of the city. The Unita-
rian Church although a descendant OF
the Puritan Church. which frowned on
all amusements as ungodly, looks with
a friendly eye on all innocent enjoy
ment.
May Be Made Evil.
II myself look upon dancing with
entire favor but, of course, recognize
that like all good things, it may be
perverted or may take place under
wrong conditions"
The dancing has gone on under the
direction of Mrs. John Candee Dean,
chairman of the young peoples social
committee Monthly dances are
given ON Thursday and Saturday
nights OF each week instruction ls
given. The dancing has been confined
to the waltz, hesitation and two-step'
IF we should see steps taken
wrongly. we would quietly interfere,
Ft,lyp have
seen no such tendency.
The new dances. when properly
done. seem beautiful and modest. l
have seen them danced in such a way
that only the word indecent would
describe them. So long as the waltz
position is taken l see no objection to
them
Open to Non Members.
TIE social room of the church has
been thrown open to young persons
who are not members of the church
and who, Mr.. Wtcks believes, might
resort to the public halls If no better
place were accessible The liberty OF
the church social room will save them
from visiting places where dancing is
INDUCED in under surroundings not
above criticism, MT. Wicks asserts,
When asked If mis- attitude is not an
unusual enc in view of the fact that
most religious organizations frown on
! dancing or even forbid 1t, Mr.. Wlcks
said his attitude is customary in the
! Unitarian Church. but that some OF
them might not encourage dancing
because of lack of facilities for it.
Mr.. Wicks himself dances well, and
he declares that he admires good
| dancing.
