lively, making a total of nineteen
types of 'old-fashioned' money issued
directly by the treasury"
Mr.. Dewey then pointed out that II
some way were found to eliminate de-
nominations of the silver certificates,
for example, so as to leave only the
one and-bane of the superstitious-
the two-dollar bill, the necessity for
making three types of bills would be
eliminated and by the process he
thought the average citizen might get
little 1etter acquainted with the
silver certificate.
Some omcials who have gone into
the subject favored reducing the
United States notes to one denomina-
tiOn-the five-which would eliminate
five denominations of money. Then,
the famed yellOwback, from the prince
of bills, the $4,000 note, down to the
more or less familiar "ten spot"
would be allowed to remain the same
with its range, including also the 500,
$50, 500, $500, $1,000 and $4,000 note
to care for all needs above the small
denominations.

His ashes rest in the Congressional

The land on which the Octagon
house stands was acquired by Col.
John TaylOe, wealthy land owner Of
Virginia, from Gustavus w. Scott for
$1,000, and he arranged with Mr.
Downing for the erection there OF
winter home for his family During
It's construction, which began in 1898
and occupied three years time, Gen
eral Washington, who was a personal
friend Of Colonel Tayloe, showed great
interest In the work.
From the time of its first occupancy
until the death of Mrs Tayloe, wife
of Benjamin Ogle TaylOe, son of the
original owner, in 1850, Octagon house
was celebrated on both sides of the
Atlantic for it's generous hospitality.
Its most eYentful experience, how
ever, was its occupancy by President
Madison and family for nearly year
after the burning OF the White House
by the British during the War of 1912.

an expression of the new idea In his
present station for he has been pro-
NOTED from an ambassadorship to
head of the State department. This
is in line with the policy of Old-World
diplomacy. The promotion Of Mr.. Kel-
logg marked new epoch in Ameri-
can history. Whether he will remain
long at the department, or whether
other Presidents will follow Mr.. Cool
idge and select ambassadors to head
the cabinet, are questions which only
history can answer.
1t is a fact, however, that for the
first time within recollection there is
man in the State department come
fresh from diplomatic service and dip
lomatic associations in the Old World.
Washington is wondering what will
be the eventual effect Of the new
American diplOmacy-the creation of
ministers from cOunselors of embas-
sizes and the promotion OF career men
or professional diplomatic representa-
tives all along the line. Heretofore
ministers and ambassadors have been
appointed for political. personal or
commercial reasons.

oped from the hydrO-electric plants TO
one bidder with some sort of provision
in the contract for the availability OF
the power for the partial operation of
nitrate plant No. 2.
In this connection 1t is pointed out
that while one of the plants will be
ready July l it will be several months
before it will be operating efficiently.
The four plants now being constructed
at Wilson dam will ultimately develop
100000 horse power.
When the first one is completed the
government would theoretically have
$4,000 horse power to sell. But because
of the tests of the machinery and un-
avoidable difficulties, 1t is not likely
that that amount of power will be de-
livered for at least six months.
The other three units will be ready
January l and within six months after
that time 1t is expected that the full
100000. horse power Of the develop
ment will be available.
The Muscle Shoals commission, Of
which Former Representative John G..
Mckenzie of Illinois Is chairman. was
appointed by President Coolidge to
study the question and report to him
next fall.

Octagon House to Get Artistic Marker

CTAGON HOUSE, at the cor

Eighteenth street, closely
identified with many incidents
in the early history of the national
capital, Is to be more distinctively
marked by the American Institute of
Architects, which acquired the prop
erty several years ago and has used
1t as Its headquarters ever since.
Leading artists have been invited to
devise a suitable marker for the build
ing, the winning design TO be selected
at the national convention of archi-
tects in New York city.
The sturdy old building is consid
cred one of the best surviving ex-
ampes of the Eighteenth-century type
Of American Georgian or Adam period

by William Thornton, one OF the pio-

Too Many Kinds of Money; Not Too Much

A STUDY by treasury officials of
N the problem of the govern
ment's paper-money expense
has led to the tentative con-
clusion that the public is being sup
piled Will more denominations in the
various kinds of such money than it
needs.
Assistant Secretary Dewey, under
whose direction the study Is being
made, believes 1t is time to correct
this result of a tOpsy-turvy develop
ment Of the nations currency over
many years by eliminating some of
the denominations If the bureau of
engraving and printfng's present
paper-mOney output of twenty carloads
annually could be concentrated on
fewer denominations, 1t would mean
material saving through quantity pro-
ductiOn and less confusion to the
public.
Without making 1t too difficult"
the assistant secretary continued, 1T
may be explained that the treasury
Is now turning out five general kinds
of paper money-silver certificates,

reserve currency.
