TREASURY BEGINS
CURRENCY INQUIRY
Remedy for Increased Ex.
pense and Unsatisfactory
Methods Sought.
By the Associated Press.

Dy Inc AsSOCldteu f'reSs.
The Treasury, through a special
committee headed by Assistant Secre-
tary Dewey, today began an investi-
cation of the Federal currency which
may lead to far-reaching changes in
the system of production. design and
distribution of paper money.
Findings of previous inquiries have
proved useless, Mr.. Dewey said, and
he added that if anything were to be
gained the study must be worked out
with due regard for anticipated
growth of the nation and it's indus.
trial and financial enterprises.
Groups of the committee will ad-
dress themselves to design and secur.
ity, paper quality and stock, manu-
facture, including a thorough study
of the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing methods, legal questions and
distribution. The committee includes
a membership of 1S. some of whom
are private bankers and students of
the currency.
Mr.. Dewey said little headway had
been made by the Government in the
last six or eight years in efforts to
overcome problems with which the
currency situation is fraught, calling
particular attention to the failure of
efforts to increase the circulation of
silver dollars.
The cost of paper currency circula-
ton to the Government has been con-
stantly increasing since the middle of
the World War. It now is one of the
big items of dead expense" the aver
age being above l cent for each dollar
bill that is printed, and, inasmuch as
circulation has expanded by more than
40,000,0 900 in the last six months, the
ever-growing expense item is proving
cause for considerable worry.
Early last Winter plans were laid
by the Treasury to produce dollar bills
at rate that would permit the es-
tablishment Of a reserve sufficient to
last one month. By keeping one
month ahead of the demand, experts
said, the new money would be allowed
to "cure" and the Treasury had hoped
that this process would restore the
life of the bill. which had rapidly
shortened from an average of eleven
to six months.

MUSIC CLUbSFAV0
FESTIVAL IN SPRING
Penny Gifts Proposed as
Means of Financing Cost
of Big Program.

Enthusiastic reports of the success
of both the biennial convention of the
Federation Of Music Clubs and of the
big rose festival held at Portland,
Ore, last June were balanced with
equally enthusiastic interest in the
plans for a huge music festival in
Washington next Spring at the first
meeting of the season of the men,
bers Of the board and associate artist
members of the District of Columbia
Federation of Music Clubs, held last
night at the home of the president,
Miss Esther Linkins, 1915 Newark
street northwest.
Miss Linkins read a detailed report
of the convention proceedings that
emphasized the high lights of the
many events and leading personages
who made addresses. Mrs. d. j..
Roberts, who also attended the con-
vention as a delegate from the
Esther Chapter Choir, Order of the
Eastern Star of Washington. con-
tributed some interesting remarks on
other sides to the convention than
those touched upon by Miss Linkins.
Five delegates and two visitors from
this city at the Portland convention
included Miss Vivienne Winstead,
young pianist who went primarily
to participate in the national con-
tests.
Fund Built by Pennies.
Miss Linkins was impressed with
the idea that Mrs. j. j. Carter, found
er of the Hollywood bowl concerts.
gave when she told Of how citizens of
Los Angeles and Hollywood give pen
MES after each concert to help toward
the upkeep Of that musical institu-
ton.
II think it wouldn't be a bad idea
for every member Of the many clubs
affiliated with the federation here in
Washington to contribute a penny at
each meeting toward the finances for
the big festival this Spring. Also, II
school children are asked to give a
penny apiece toward that undertak-
ing they will feel that they as indi-
viduals have more responsibility for
the success Of the festival" said Miss
Linkins.
AS some of those present seemed
hazy as to the exact object and rea-
son for being Of the Spring festival.
Miss Helen Fetter. music editor of
The Star, was called upon to clarity
statement showing that the prime OBJ
ject was to interest Congress in the
presence in this city Of many excep-
tional singers and musicians, and the
logical conclusion that Washington
was indeed the city to have the Ma
tional Conservatory Of Music.
Program Is Given.
Musical selections were given by
Miss Helen Belt, violinist, accom-
pained by Miss Frances Gutelius, and
by Harry Angelica, baritone, accom-
panied by Mrs. Bernice Randall An
gelico.

Mrs. Frank Byram, MIR. and Mrs. Har-
ry Angelica, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

Rare and curious plants fill the
garden of Mr.. and Mrs. Newton L..
Collamer, 1916 Crittenden street.
Among them is perhaps the finest
collection of columbines in the Dis
trict. These include all the pastel
shades Of color and when in blossom
appear like a swarm of hundreds of
vari-colored butterflies. There is the
vesper iris. whose tiny, blue orchid
like blossoms open only in the cool
of twilight and which stay in bloom
for about two months.
An amusing variation from the run
Of cultivated plants is the hen-and-
chickens, which is planted surrounding
some of the garden mounds. This
consists of one large bud, the hen and
six or seven small buds, the chickens
The parent bud sends up a white,
anemone like blossom. Then it swells
and swells until il finally bursts, scat
tering its brood of smaller buds in all
directions.

In front of the house is an olive tree
with foliage almost exactly like that

Near it is a Chinese barberry which

over the front of the house is an Am

black and yellow berries in the Fall.
This vine has the faculty of attract

SCHOOL CONTRACTS
TO BE LET AT ONCE
Second Bids Near Enough to Limit
Set to Permit Start on
Buildings.

The District Commissioners will be
able to let contracts without waiting
until Congress meets, in December. to
start the construction of the three new
school buildings on which the original
bids received several weeks ago ex-
ceeded the appropriations.
Engineer Commissioner Bell gave
this assurance today after a hasty
study of the new bids that were open
ed yesterday. 1t probably will not be
possible, Col. Bell said, to let contracts
for three complete eight-room build
ings at this time. He explained, how
ever, that the new bids were called for
in such a way as to allow the Commits
sioners to let contracts for eight class
rooms, eliminating such supplement
tary rooms as dental and medical clinics
and teachers offices. The new build
ings are designed in such a manner,
however, that these supplementary
rooms can be added If Congress in De-
cember grants the additional money
needed. Col Bell pointed out that the
classrooms would not be completed in
any event before next year, so that the
space being omitted at this time can
be included before completion of the
building IL the additional funds are
allowed
