SOME FACTS ABOUT
 YOUR SMALL CHANGE
By RALPH FORD COUCH

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, May D. Small change" in use in the United States now amounts to $262, 667,806, ac- cording to an official statement of the Treasury department, or $2.43 for each resident. This sum repre- sents the total of all the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars which are being carried around in pocketbook, in brooches pocket and which are kept on hand by stores and banks to make chnage.
 The treasury statement supplies the answer to the oft repeated specula tive question as to how much ones fortune would be were he suddenly to become possessed of all the coins in the country under the value of one dollar. Exclusive of $78,000,000 worth of silver dollars in circulation, which are not included in the small change total, the nations entire stock of silver and copper coins could be packed in a box 20 feet deep and 60 feet square and delivered in your front yard any fine morning, along with the morning paper and the bot tie of milk The entire sum would be not large fortune, as fortunes now are rated in the United States.
 The small change total is com paratively insignificant sum if there is taken into consideration the entire amount of money in circulation in the United States. This totals $6,- O93,5OO,689, of which $4,763, ,479,- 499 is token money. Token money means gold and silver certificates, Treasury notes and notes issued through the Federal Reserve Bank system and by the National Banks, all of which are promises to pay is sued by the agencies named. Were all the holders of these promises to request immediate payment, the Gov ernment and bank tellers probably would have to suspend all other bus mess for month to count the bills offered.
 Taken by volume, however, all the money in the United States makes rather insignificant showing. It could all be gathered together in an ordina- ry office of 200 rooms or so. Any building of six stories with five foot frontage and about the same depth would store all the token money, while four men, one at each corner, could easily guard it.

A red-hot rivet dropped from ship undergoing repairs into oil-coat- ed debris in the Mississippy River caused the ten-million dollar dock fire at New Orleans in January, ac- cording to Geo. W. Booth, chief en- gineer of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. MT. Booth states the reports that the fire was caused by an electric light wire was erroneous; that "There were no electric wires anywhere near the scene of this fire. !. There is tendency ot explain any fire of mysterious origin as due to Reflective wiring" or "an electric light wire" and this statement from an authority indicates that electricity is blamed when fires are due to other causes.

New York is to be the headquarters of national campaign, under the direction of the American Cotton Growers Association, not only to bring about a renaissance of the cot ton stocking, but to popularize gener- ally cotton and cotton fabrics. Buy Cotton" will be the principal theme of the campaign, and, of course, there will be a slogan: "Ask if the article you buy is made of pure cotton-all cotton, and yard wide" Like the smart men that they are, they plan to use daily newspaper advertising in their campaign.

New York had more or less of a blow when Albert, Prince of Monaco, ''the man who owns the bank at Monte Carlo" arrived in town. De- spite any report to the contrary, all of us, in our hearts, expected a dashing, interesting wicked-looking person, whose conversation would be concerned with the great subject of life-Chance! And behold! Here is a pleasant, quiet, studious, serious, elderly gentleman in our midst, whose chief concern in life is to learn what sort of things abound in the bottom of the sea-not pirate treasures but. little fishes and gentle things like that. In spite of generally moral outlook, I couldn't help being disappointed.

New York City, however, just now is hardly even in mood to scoff at her sister west of the Hudson. She is completely covered with bushes. For WHERE is the home of John Hutch inson, the man who just lost $1,000 in Paris to the oldest confidence game in the world? He met social trio there who told him about the $40,000 they were carrying in a suit case because you couldn't trust the banks there. So he gave them his $1,000 to protect along with their own. And where, I ask, is John Hutchinson from? Why, from New York City.

Among the innovations in the new Ambassador Hotel, at Park avenue and Fifty-first street, is an electric alarm clock which has been installed in each bedroom, thus making it un- necessary for guests to leave calls with the clerks.
