TIME
BY USING
So BILLS
U. s. Bureau Of Efficiency
Gives Hints on Proper
Handling of Money

The United States Bureau of
Efficiency, after a six months
study, has decided that the public
uses money awkwardly and inef-
ficiently.
The chief mistake the public
makes, according to the Bureau,
is the excessive use of one dollar
bills instead of twos, fives and
tens, causing the bulk of paper
money in banks and business es-
adjustments to become to large.
Time and Labor Lost
The Bureau points out that time
and labor are lost in counting
a large sum OF money in 81 bills.
1t also directs attention to the
increased cost to the taxpayer in
keeping ones in circulation.
A further sign of lack of wisdom
on the part of the public. accord.
ing to the bureau statement, is it's
avoidance of the 50 bill based on a
superstition coming down from the
old gambling days. This foolish
superstition should be brushed
aside in the interest of money
efficiency and the 81 bill should be
given its proper place in the cur
rency of the nation.
With these facts established the
Bureau OF Efficiency has drafted
suggestions as to the proper man
ner OF making change. 1t believes
that If these suggestions were
placed on placards by the banks
a material and beneficial effect
would result. The suggestions
follow:
Use Fewer Bills
In making change use the least
possible number Of bills. Doing
so will:
Decrease the bulk Of currency
that individuals need carry In their
pockets.
Decrease the bulk of currency
that chanEemakers need handle and
keep in their tills.
Decrease the bulk Of the currency
bank cashiers need handle, count
and carry in their cages.
Decrease the work of money
counters everywhere.
Decrease the chances Of making
mistakes.
Decrease the detail of money
counting and recounting at public
expense at the Treasury Depart
nlent at Washington when new bills
are issued or old ones redeemed.
Decrease the bulk Of the money
to be manufactured by the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing for
issue by the Government.
Save the Government directly a
possible one-fourth the cost Of this
manufacture and the public many
times as much in the waste labor
CT counting innumerable small
bills.
Every time a two-dollar bill is
used it retires two one-dollar bills
from circulation. Thus 1t saves its
weight in currency. Use two dol
lar bills
