-DAMON AND PYTHIASv
IN SPECTACLE.

No photo drama production in years
has created so widespread an interest
as the Universal Company's spectacle,
Damon and Pythias." which will be
seen here December IA, Is, 16, at The
Playhouse. Telling the story of the
greatest friendship that has ever OK
listed among men, its varying scenes
in the period of Grecian glory, il is
filled with superb and massive pic
lures full of action and with episodes
bristling with real dramatic fire. The
spectacle has been most enthusiastic
ally endorsed by the Knights Of
Pythias, while all who have in their
hearts a kindred feeling for their
fellows will find in its presentation
a wonderful emulation of brotherly
love. 1t is the most costly of Uni
versal presentations, and with the
remarkable record of this most pro-
gressive producing company in mind.
il is unnecessary to say that it will
prove the picture sensation OF the
day.

The surest sign of the condition of
capital is the price of bonds. They con
tinue low. They went to their lowest
in June, a year ago, and have risen
three points in year. and since Janu-
AIRY have lost two points, being now
one point above that of June, 1918, and
only > ID points above the panic Of
1907. Low bond prices Indicate lack
Of profit, savings, capital. The high
yield of bonds fails to draw out the nor
NAL amount for investment, because
there is not normal amount to invest.
Until there is it is idle to look for a
revival of business. All anticipatory
movements require capital, and this is
lacking. The low price of bonds, re-
naming almost stationary for. more
| than a year and at this exceedingly
low point fixes this fact beyond argu
ment.

NEW MONEY.

We are to have new kind of pa
per money within Il few weeks Mil,
lions Of this new paper money will be
put in circulation upon the establish
ment of the Federal Reserve banks.
Under the Federal Reserve bank act
each of the twelve Federal Reserved
banks will receive advances from the
Federal Reserve board in the form of
Federal Reserve notes, n distinctly
new sort of paper money. Commercial
paper will be the collateral advanced
by the various banks as security for
these notes.
John Shelton Williams, controller of
the currency. has samples of this new
paper money now under consideration.
At his request. Joseph F. Ralph, dl-
rector Of the bureau of engraving and
/ printing. prepared notes of -, so,
| 800. $50 and 500 denominations. and
/ these have been submitted to Secretary
/ McAdoo.
The new s. note submitted to Mr.,
/ Ralph il typical of agriculture. The
portrait on the face of the note Is Lin
! coin s and the back shows a harvest
| ing machine and aIlcgorical figures
| typical of farming. The $40 note bears
a portrait of Cleveland and a manu-
featuring scene The $50 note bears
| Jackson 5 portrait and is typical OF
commercc. having a steamship, train.
and other mediums Of trade on the
back. Grant picture is shown on the
800 note. and Franklin : portrait
adorns the 500 note. Both Of these
larger notes are typical of the arts. All
will be printed in green ink on the
back. while black ink Will be used on
the faces.
For some time the treasury depart
ment has been anxious to make all
paper money more uniform. At pres
emit, different portraits appear on diff
ferent sorts of paper money Of the
same denomination. It's likely that
the PORTRAITS selected for use ON the
Federal Reserve notes also will he used
on other paper money. So, in the fu-
ture. all bank-notes, gold certificates
silver certificates, and Federal Reserve
notes Of So denomination will probably
q bear Lincoln 5 portrait, and so on
, through the series, up to 800.
/, OF the 40 per cent gold, reserve
banks maintain against their outstand
inc Federal Reserve notes, at least,
per cent win be kept in the United
d States treasury for the redemption OF
] such notes. It is provided, under the
new law. that when the Federal Re
serve bank receives Federal Reserve
=, bank-notes issued by another bank il
must return them Immediately to the
issuing bank, and a heavy penalty /,
provided for a bank which pays ou'
notes other than its own.
