ence, They get hard treatment The average life Of our "grsenbacks" is only seven months; and along about the fourth month there are enough germs sticking 10 them to kill an ordinary human being.
 A few years ago the civilized world had a round Of fun al the spectacle Of the German republic printing marks by the billions. un- M one aftermath ot the var across the Hh!ne vas that person could paper a room with paper marks at insignificant expense But because Of the short life Of American dollar bills the American government also keeps printing presses whirling to capacity with new machinery con- 'inually added. More than a billion dollar bills were printed hy the tu- reau of engraving and printing last year. at cost Of 7-10 cents each. This means that about a billion paper dollars got so travel worn and d"crepit that they were withdrawn from circulation.
 The effort ot the silver producing states 70 iraugurate a greater use of silver dollars failed miserably. The east and middle west would have none Of them. A man in New Britain Is nearly insulted f another hands him silver dollar 10 carry around; and the person who gets five Of them handed 10 him at time becomes an enemy for life - unless the five cart wheels happen 10 be a pure gift. when the recip- tent will take them 10 q bank and get real money" for them. On the other hand, in the west, notably Colorado, the man who jingIes plenty of silver dollars in his pocket is a patriot, while the fellow with paper money is looked upon with suspicion.
 Treasury officials, it is stated, iga rt tKn,1t . aF Fr rf s2 and s bills. We are heartily in favor of more of this denomina- ton; in fact, we are certain we speak for the general public when we say 1t would be a good plan If law were passed whereby the gov ernment would exchange g. bill for every ordinary dollar bill and give $5 bill for every worn- out greenback That would be popular law Unfortunately, however, the treasury cannot see the point.
 In closing we might say that a dollar bill may have life of only seven months, but 1t doesn't take that long for an owner to get rid Of one. Getting rid of dollar bills is the nations greatest sport, Breaking" them has developed into an everyday necessity.
