Uncle Sam Finds Paper
Money Is Popular But
Very Costly Commodity
Cost of Keeping Currency in Circula-
ton Placed at 100000 a Month
Due to Wear and Tear.

Paper money is a popular but cost
ly commodity in the United States.
With the decreasing popularity of
coins and the increasing popularity of
currency, the treasury department has
prepared an estimate of the cost of
paper money and the great expense
caused by wear and dirt.
1t costs the government almost two
cents to manufacture paper dollar,
the life of which ranges from six to
eight months. 1t is necessary to put
100000 of these bills into circula-
ton each month, making the cost of
paper money about 100000 month,
with the value OF the money put into
circulation totaling $4S,000000.
Dirty money is a problem for the
treasury department. Dirt, in addition
to menacing health, shortens the life
of paper money and makes it neceS-
sary for more to be manufactured, with
more expense piled on the govern
ment.
Treasury experts have estimated
that, if the life of the paper dollar
could be prolonged two months the
government would save 81, 100000 a
year.
The treasury department does not
call upon the American citizen to
wash his hands every time he handles
a piece of paper money, but it does
believe that the people can do great
deal toward cutting down the expense
of keeping such currency in circula-
ton.

Increase in population, reduction OF

declared had also helped the insects
by reducing the number OF birds and
animals which feed upon them.

Losses equal to $40 year for every
man, woman and child in the United
States are caused by insects, and the
insects are still on the increase, Prof
]. J. Davis, OF Purdue University, says
in report to the Indiana Academy
of Science, according to the Philadel-
phia Record.
The greater abundance of insects
now than formerly was explained as
due to civilization having brought
about unnatural conditions, which
have interferfed with the natural bal
ance among plants and animals.
Among the principal causes which
have produced this interference Pro-
lessor Davis mentioned the extensive
and continuous cultivation of the same
or related crops, which is favorable to
insect reproduction by offering unlim-
tied food supplies continuously year
after year. Corn root aphis and corn
root worm, for instance, become more
severe when corn follows corn.
Another factor, he pointed out, has
been the eradication or reduced supply
Of the native plants upon which the
insects formerly lived. Curculio exist
ed only on wild fruits before cultivat-
ed varieties were introduced, and the
rose root worm, which now attacks
roses in greenhouses, at one time on
ly attacked wild species.
transportation has also played an
important part in the spread OF insects,
and more than half of our destructive
pests are of foreign origin. They are
not necessarily pests of prime import
ance in their native home, but brought
here, and finding favorable breeding
places with the absence Of their natur-
