NEAR THREE BILLION
SUBSCRIBED TO LOAN
OVERWHELMING RESPONSE BY
RATIoN-TREAsURY OFFICIALS
BURIED UNDER RETURNS.
New York Tops List With More Than
Billion, While Cleveland District
Makes Fine Showing.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
WashingtOn.-The American people
have responded to the government S
call for funds to finance the war with
an OyersubscriptiOn to the $1,000. .0OO
900 liberty loan OF proportions so huge
that officials are buried beneath a
landslide OF untabulated returns.
Washington officials have not yet
been able to say how great had been
the nations answer. Apparently il
was overwhelming beyond the most
sanguine hopes of treasury officials,
though not one of the IL Federal Re-
serve Banks, regional headquarters of
the loan, could hazard more than an
estimate of its total.
The hope for a widespread response
of the average man with the average
income was more than realized in the
multitudes that fiocked to the banks
on the last day of the campaign.
1t appeared that all previous esti-
mates had gone by the boards and that
nearly 100000 men and women had
bought their bonds.
Estimates from the IL reserve dis
tricts, some of them unofficial, but
mostly from local loan committees, in
dicated that the subscriptions might
reach the total of $2,S62 100000. These
estimates, which were not vouched for
as authentic at the Treasury Depart
ment. were as follows:
New York, $1,000, 100000, with the
certainty that the offerings would far
exceed 1,0O0,OOO,00O.
Boston, 63,300,OOO.
Philadelphia, $500 100000. The COM
oilation was $165,000,0O
Cleveland $2S4,000.OOO as estimated
by the chairman of local committee
after careful survey Of the entire dis.
Irict
Richmond more than S100,0000O0.
Atlanta s5O,OOO,OOO estimated, with
S3S 100000 tabulated.
Chicago. 1926, 100000, with $29O,OOO,

GOLD HARD METAL TO CARRY
average Man Cannot Transport More
Than $4,000 Worth for a Mile
Without Discomfort

When gold shipment is to be made
oy ship the necessary number of kegs
are taken in a truck to the assay office,
where they are received at a door in
the rear. The gold bars are then
placed on a hand truck and rolled to
the Kegs. In the presence of the agents
OF the shippers and of the officials Of
the assay office the bars are packed in
the Kegs, and sawdust is placed around
them to prevent abrasion. When the
heads Of the kegs have been placed
over the packed bars, a piece of red
tape is stretched across and fastened
between the chime and the edge of
the head. The seal of the shipping
mouse Is then attached to the head and
the bottom OF each keg.
After sealing, the kegs are rolled to
the wagon and lifted on. II takes two
men to handle each keg, as there are
ten bars to a keg, with total gold
weight of about 100 pounds. 1t may
be mentioned that 100000 weighs in
gold about $50 pounds, and $1,OO0,OOO
weighs $500 pounds. Some time ago
one OF the officials of an assay office
compiled figures showing how much
gold man could actually handle. 1t
is singular thing that great difficulty
is experienced in carrying gold for any
distance. The weight seems to be
more dead" than that of other metals,
although that may be an illusion.
For instance, the average man could
carry 100 pounds of gold one mile
without much discomfort. Its value
would be about $4,000. A strong man
could carry, say, $50 pounds n mile,
reaching the end of his journey with
Just under $4,000. A very powerful
man might carry 200 pounds, or nearly
$53OOO, a mile without exhaustion.
Carrying gold is almost as difficult as
getting 1t.
