Use is for larger yield than last

in the reports that German interests
have been trying to hoard wool TOT
use after the war. How much OF this
has been done in this country is not
known. 1t has been attempted, how
ever. in Argentina and Uruguay, and
there were apparently well authenti-
Gated cases of similar efforts even
in Australia. Wool is, of course, one
of, the articles which Germany Will
find great use for, once peace Is de-
clared. but so, also, are many other
articles. and it is going to take much
time and tonnage to get them over
to that country. In the WOODEN goods
market there is little of note at

attended to their wants so far as
orders are concerned. and the mat

Typewriter Can Code
War Messages and
Frustrate the Spies

Hinder the Hun-that is the idea
of a Washington genius, who has
pust invented a typewriter on which
state and war messages can be writ
ten out in a secret code impossible
for an enemy to decipher.
This genius is Mr.. B. NJ. Des Jar
dins, of 1900 n. street northwest.
His work consists OF combining
two typewriters by mechanism in
which his intricate machinery is
concealed This mechanism enables
the machine TO write out different
cipher for each letter copied. so that
there can be millions of different
combina tons. a new one for each
letter, hence it is Impossible for any
enemy TO discover the key-by the
time he found how to read one let
ter, that key would be useless for
the second missive.
One Machine Codes.
In using paper is put in both ma
chimes. The writer uses the one at
the left hand, writing out the letter
just in plain common language. This
is reproduced in the paper in the
machine on the right. but in cipher,
and the letters are all placed in rows
of five. Punctuation points count as
letters in the cipher. One word,
written out, might be ten letters
long. another only three, yet the
machine on the right hand will print
the lines off always with exactly
five. letters in word.
Now. the person receiving, hav-
ing duplicate set of these twin ma
~ nIYh q r
bearing letter before his eye and
copy off the letters on the left-hand
machine exactly as they look to him
the result will be that on the ma
chine at the right hand the letter
will appear on the paper in or
binary English, correctly spelled.
In other words, while the first
machines put the note in cipher
code. the second set will turn this
cipher code back into ordinary I'm.

takes d new combination, SO that d
general might send out hundred
cipher code letters day, yet each
| would be in an entirely different
style and require a new key to be
discovered before it could be read by
al enemy.
This invention is now before the
War College, and is likely TO be
adopted by the State Department as
well. The person receiving the let
| tiers has to know the key to which
to set the machines going. And they
are obliged. also, to be equipped
with the twin typewriters united b!
the Des Jardins invention to be able
to get results, A Times reporter
wrote out the following

TO MELT 100000, 900.
Silver Coins to Be Reconverted K
Paw ii. s. Trade Balance


Washington. March 2l.-Treasury
officials and congressional leaders have
reached an agreement on the principal
features of a program for extensive
government dealings in silver as a war
measure, and bill TO authorize the
melting and sale of more than $500, 000,-
900 Of silver dollars now in the treasury
will be introduced in about a week.
The melting Of silver dollars and ex-
port Of the bullion TO pay trade bal
ances would require withdrawal from
circulation OF an equal amount OF silver
certificates. Those Of IS and larger
denominati ons would be recalled and in
their place would be issued federal
ination is s..
Originally it had been planned to
substitute federal reserve notes and
TO authorize by legislation 81 bills OF
this class. but this idea has been aban-
doned. The great demand for 81 notes
under war conditions makes 1t mad
visable TO withdraw silver certificates
of that denomination, Of which about
100000, 900 are in circulation.
Silver producers and dealers have
agreed informally 10 sell the country
entire output in the next year or two
at fixed price, probably 81 an ounce
to replace the silver taken from the
treasury's monetary stock, which could
be sold 10 other governments at that
price. Reports that silver men would
refuse to sell at that rate were denied
by Raymond T. Baker, director Of the
mint, following recent conferences with
producers.
Japan China and British India par
ticularly need silver for coinage. The
London market price is about eighty
six cents an ounce and the actual cost
in this country is about five cents
higher
