SMALLER BILLS.

Bills are 10 be considerably smaller
This, we hasten to explain, refers not
to monthly statements but to paper
'asaey. The government has decided
that the bills used in this country for
a century or So are and always have
been unnecessarily large, and is going
to shrink them about one-fifth
The immediate incentive is economy.
1t will take less paper, and the kind of
paper used for currency is expensive.
But the treasury officials suggest also
that the new bills will be found more con
'venient. and in this they are probably
right.
The bills now in circulation" they
explain. ARE really adapted only to per
sons of large hands and small fingers =
shorter and smaller note will be more
easily counted by tellers. cashiers and
all who have to handle large sums of
money"
People in general are usually willing
to take the extra trouble, and may re-
sent the change at first, but eventually
they may appreciate the advantage of
the smaller bills for easy handling and
convenient slowing in pocketbOoks. And
with familiarity may come wonder that
the Innovation was not adopted long
ago. There has been excellent foreign
precedent for it. Many nations have
smaller bills than ours. The British
fiye-pound note, long the accepted
standard in Eurone iS for Sp,olIar tboD
our bills, and more easily handled ac-
cOrdingly.
\ more debatable proposal is that
bills # various denominations be printed
in different sizes, as our coins are. to
make them more easily distinguishable
and thus avoid errors. That might be
a good idea, too, though there are GER
tain obvious advantages in having all
bills of uniform size.

WHERE GERMANY FAILS.

Germany undoubtedly is coming back
industrially, thanks to German willing
ness to work hard for little. But Ger
many is not coming back so rapidly as
advertised, nor does she offer the business
menace that America and other industrial
nations have feared. This fact is partic-
ularly evident in recent reports of Latin
American trade.
Germany is not going to monopolize
that trade. German manufacturers did.
indeed, obtain vast quantities of orders in
Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere. thanks
to their low quotations. but they are
finding it impossible to fill those orders.
In many cases they cannot produce the
goods at anywhere near the prices quoted.
and the deals fall through accordingly.
In other cases they cannot produce the
goods at any price, because of a lack
of materials, equipment and capital.
American firms can produce the goods
beyond question, if only they get the
orders, and they are now getting orders
in larger volume. The export outlook
is accordingly reassuring, and one more
factor is added to the conditions which
spell prosperous times ahead

DetOurS.
(Rutland Herald.)


Probably no feature of Vermont trav-
cling has been more heartily cursed and
advertised than the detOurs made neces
sary by road repairing, yet those same
dctours, inconvenient and needlessly
prolonged in some cases as they prob
ably are, are themselves the best evil
dence that Vermont road making plans
are changing
The old-fashioned way of mending a
road was to haul little gravel or other
road metal into the middle of the high
way and, afte~ perrunctory smooth,
ing, let the traffic do the rest This was
gradually improved by little more
skill and attention until we have some
excellent gravel roads that stand up and
under traffic that is not too heavy or
fast.
When we began to make roads under
engineer 5 plans we began to require
detours. for the reason that a proper
foundation for a scientific road de-
mands tearing up the old road so that
traffic cannot use it until the work is
done. Hence the many and often incon-
venlent detours that~are characteristic
of our roads today
We may therefore consider the deteu-,
annoying as it often is. as sign of
progress, although we have not as yet
BY any means solved the problem of the
final traffic surface for Vermont main
travelled roads.

IL MEN PROMISED WORK.
Second Auction of Unemployed at BOs-
ton More Successful Than First

BOSTON, Sept. 10.-The collapse of
Edward Dixon of Philadelphia, appar-
emily from malnutrition just after his
services had been sold to the highest
bidder. brought the second day of the
auction block for unemployed men on
Boston common to close after - men
had been promised work.
Dixon. a World war veteran, had pre-
pared an appeal which Urban Ledoux.
leader of the unemployed group. read
to the thousands of persons gathered
around the bandstand. As Ledoux was
reading an account of the death of Dix
On's father-in-law. which left the young
man alone. Dixon swayed and collapsed.
One meal day and sometimes not that
had been his portion. he said. Physi-
clans said last night that his experience
and exposure from sleeping on the Com
mon made his condition serious
Ledoux said that the auction would
be continued today in an endeavor to
find work for all the men in his care
as the best he could do for them now
was to feed them once a day.

Fish Story from Lake sunapee


While fishing in Lake Sunapce last
Sunday, Allan Hutcbson Of Ciaremont
hooked a fish which escaped. taking hooks
and bait with it. The line had parted
where the sinker pinched the gut. Next
day, fishing in the same spot, he caught
a small black bass, which had about four
inches of gut protruding from its mouth.
On getting home he cut it open to find
what was attached to the gut. What was
his surprise to find the hook Tor hooks
he had lost the day before. There was no
doubt about its being the hook he lost as
the tackle was of peculiar construction
and was purchased him in Scotland. 1t
consists of three very small hooks on a
single gut three-fOurthS Of an inch apart
and is known as a Stewart tackle" The
h|lt ( worm) was still i'm good condition
