does not publish the names of per-

OUTPUT
Of BILLS
BEGINS
Bureau of Engraving and
Printing viii Increase Every
Type of Security

! The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing today launched p pro-
gram of greatly increased produce
ton, which will be continued
throughout the coming year. An
increase has been ordered in the
output of every type of security
and permit printed by the Blu
reau, with but one exception
opium order blanks.
The volue of paper currency
to be printed by the Bureau dur
ing the coming year will be
greater by approximately "a per
cent than the production last
year.
For the first time since the out
break of the war the Government
expects to build up a reserve of
paper currency. The Treasury
Department now is operating with
but fewsdays' reserve and sizing
and seasoning Of the money has
been abandoned to speed up pro.
duction.
Beginning today the sizing opera
ton will be resumed for the first
time in nearly eight years and the
currency will be printed sufficiently
in advance of demand to permit it's
seasoning.
Resumption of Sizing.
During the coming year the bu-
reau will print 19O.242,3O0 sheets VI
currency to meet the normal d..
mand and to begin the reserve and,
under the terms of the second de-
ficiency appropriation bill Of the
past Congress, will print 5000, 600
sheets Of backs and 5000 900 sheets
or faces as reserve, to be placed
on the seasoning racks.
The $4,000 900 sheets of backs
are completed bills, as the faces are
printed first. The reserve supply
will be fully sized and seasoned BE-.
tween each operation.
currency was 175,144,750 sheets,
which went into almost immediate
circulation.
The production Of internal revenue
| stamps will be increased from 3d..
5000, 900 last year to 95,075,700 dur.
ing the fiscal year beginning today.
The number of customs stomps
will he increased from $4,000 to
100 900.
The daily decrease in production
will be in the volume Of opium order
blanks, which will drop from 500, 100
last year to $4,000 during the COM
ing year.
More Liquor Permitted.
The number of liquor withdrawal
permits will be increased from q
O31 $50 for the year just ended to
100000 this year.
The number of checks, drafts and
similar blanks will be increased from
1908, 4S7 to 7,241.817.
The currency is sized by dipping
1t in a solution Of glue. alum and
water, it was explained today at
the bureau.
This knits the fibers and gives
the paper smoother finish. Sizing,
in combination with proper sea-
soning, Is expected to increase the
life of the bills approximately 20
per cent.
Thus, after a reserve is built up,
the volume of printed currency can
be substantially decreased below the
war production for equal amounts
Of money.
The sizing is expected to put an
end to the complaints against bills
becoming coaked with oil and
grease at gasoline stations and
garages. The sizing, by filling the
pores of the paper. will render it
practically impervious to grease, IL
