the United States Treasury.
The life of 81 bill formerly was
around 30 months. Now 1t is 6
months, not because of inferior stock
but because of greater use, due mainly
to the smaller quantity of things it
will buy. The use of paper currency
has increased three.fold in the past
IS years. More than a billion new
bills a year are required to replace
worn-out currency, at a cost of around
81, 000. 900.
Treasury Department officials be-
came concerned over the huge annual
outlay involving costly additions to
its paper-currency printing plant.
They engaged the services of Govern
ment scientists in several Federal de-
partments to Investigate the situa-
ton and to develop stouter bills to
meet the demands of modern use. The
scientists now have developed cur
rency paper that it is believed will
reduce materially Uncle Sans costs
of manufacturing money.
The Bureau of Standards found that
the relative weakness of the bills in
use was, due in part to the all-linen
fiber composition of the paper An
admixture of 25 per cent of cotton
fiber was recommended. as it was
thought the softer fiber would give
greater folding endurance. The
change was effected with satisfactory
results, as demonstrated on testing
machines at the bureaus Washing
ton laboratory.
The machines subject the bills to
strenuous treatment. Stimulating its
wear In actual use. One device folds
the money repeatedly until the creases
break Other machines grip the bills
at both ends and pull them apart. the
strength need to do so being record
ed automatically. Another machine,
called a bursting" machine, blows
holes in, the center of the bills; still
another measures the force required
to tear the money lengthwise and
across.
The tests indicated that extensive
archaeological research should be
made on both the paper manufactur-
ing and printing processes. Modifica-
ton of the natureeof the beating treat
ment was found to have marked in
fiuence on the strength of the paper.
BY brushing out the fibers well and
leaving them long, paper of satisfac-
tory printing quality and having at
least double the strength of the paper
in manufacturing cost.
Trial printings were made of each
experiment lot of paper. 1t was found
that surface sizing Of the printed
bills adds to their life, as 1t protects
the currency from surface abrasion,
gives 1t better water resistance and
makes the printing more permanent.
Formerly animal glue alone was used
as sizing, but it was demonstrated
that increased resistance to wear
could be obtained by hardening the
glue sizing with formaldehyde. Other
substances such as i1itrocellulose, al
bunen and Sarnish have been expert.
mented with. but, although they are
satisfactory in respect to surface pro-
lection, they make the bills brittle
and add an undesirable gloss.
Service records of the paper cur

and % per cent cotton show that the
average life of the bills has been in

Carson's S Suit Against
A. c. M. Firm Is Up
For Hearing In Butte

BUTTE, Mont.-Efforts to collect
part of S15,000,000 to $2O,0OO,OOO
which it claims as damages from
five mining and smelling corpora
tions will be made in federal court
here when the Carson Investment
company of San Francisco begins
presentation of evidence in it's in
junction and damage action against
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany.
George Cambell Carson, support
ed by Rudolph Spreckles, Robert
Hayes Smith and other wealthy
Californians, will endeavor to prove
that the A C. NJ company for
many years has infringed on his
patent rights to side-charger for
reverbatory furnaces and will at
tempt to obtain an injunction pre-
venting the defendant from using
the charger, and also to collect a
fortune demanded as damages. The
plaintiff leaves it to the court to
determine the amount of damages
in the event that judgment against
the defendants is granted.
Carson, a former prospector and
smelter emplOye, came into prOmi-
nence last year when, after battle
of years, he won his first suit to
collect from companies which he
alleged were using his patents The
initial victory was won in Califor-
mia courts after Carson for several
years had sought financial aid to
carry on his fight to collect on his
invention. The American Smelt-
ing and Refining company was de-
fendant and the court of appeals
now is engaged in fighting the dam
ages to be collected by Carson and
his hackers.

Reasons w h y A
Change In Present
Game Code Is Needed

The Arizona Game Protective as
sociation this week issued the fol-
lowing appeal to voters to support
the fish and game measure which
will be on the November ballot:
Talk with any old timer about
the former plentiful supply of deer
and turkey, the abundant trout in
the streams and then contrast
former conditions with actual find
ings of today. With only sad
remnant of former plentiful sup
ply, it causes thinking men and
women to wonder why this cOndi-
ton has come about
When the Santa Fe was built
across Northern Arizona, the con-
structiOn camps were supplied by
market hunters with venison and
wild turkey. The game was brought
in by the wagOnlOad. There was
plentiful supply then.
Good roads, universal use Of the
auto, coupled with healthy and
substantial growth in the popula-
ton of Arizona are all prime fac
tors. Former isolated areas,
reached only by packing in, are
now reached by our splendid high
ways. Development of our state
is welcomed, conditions have chang
ed and are improving; however,
with these facts, why should we
stand still when is comes to need
ed changes in our present game and
fish laws?
Let us be up to date, then, and
revise our game and fish code to
suit present conditions. Let us not
live in the past.
Arizona need more game war
dens, needs game refugees 10 pro-
tect the breeding grounds of both
wild animal and bird life, needs
plentiful restocking each year of
our lakes and streams. To make
these desirable things possible, we
will have to entirely revise our
present game code, possible only
through a majority vote this com
ing general election on Reieren-
dunn Measure No. 302, sponsored
by over $500 men who hunt and
fish. The Arizona Game Protective
association is back of this measure
which has no joker and is not a
political measure in any sense.
Three years of study of this prob
lem have brought conclusion that
the present game code falls short
of requirements. Other states have
made similar changes to suit their
problems, their game and fishing
conditions thereby being wonder
fully improved. We need action be-
fore it is too late.
You, Mr.. and Mrs. Reader, think
this overt Your assistance is i'm
perative, your support of this meas
ure is not merely solicited, but urg-
ed The future of Arizona's game
and fish is at stake. 1t is up to
you.

Border Conference
Plans Completed

YUMA-Plans have been complet-
ed for the Border Conference of the
w. C. T. u, which will be held in
Yuma, Thursday, October 7th. A
session will be held both morning,
afternoon and evening.
The morning session will open
at $50 at the Methodist church,
followed at noon by a luncheon
served at the American Legion
hall, under the supervision of Miss
Eleanor Murphy. This announce
ment in itself insures a good meal.
Fifty cents a plate will be charged
for this.
At twelve o'clock sharp, however,
the international noon hour service
will be observed, for fifteen minutes
of prayer and song.
In the afternoon there will be
a session promptly at o'clock in
the Legion hall.
A big mass meeting will COM
plete the days program which will
also be held in the Legion hall,
at which Miss Anna Gordon, pres
ident of the International, will
make an address Other nationally
known speakers will present topics
of interest.
Those in charge of this confer
ence are very much disappointed
at not being able to have Miss
Alvarado, president of the Mexi-
can w. C. T. u in Yuma, at this
time. She was expected to ad-
dress a Mexican meeting on We'd
nesday night.
Miss Butcher, who spent some
time in Yuma recently, will appear
and have a message for the Span
ish speaking people in her stead
w. C. T. U. workers here are
earnestly urging that every per-
son in Yuma who can possibly dc
so will attend these meetings on
Thursday and learn what is Being
done about prohibition in other
parts of our country and see what
can be done to help the cause
along in Yuma.

being able to do the necessary con-
struction and repair jobs around the
farm and the object of this course will
be to fit the boy to do these jobs.
An hour and half each day will be
devoted to the course which will con-
sist of woodworking or the making
and repair of farm appliances, solder
ing, blacksmithing, rope work, and
other jobs essential to farm work.
After the department has been organ
lied and the work we'll under way, it

STYLES AND
COLORS PREVAIL
ATFASHION SHOWS

Fashion shows at New York are an
timated with new styles and new
colors.
The present-day demand for prac-
teal garments, stressing frocks and
coats, has developed and diversified
range of styles.
The sport type coats for morning
and street wear are unusually char
acterful and fashioned of distinctive
fabrics enhanced with rich trims of
fur. The dressy type of coats are
noted for their richness of materials,
elaborate trims of fur and gorgeous
Innings.
Fur trimmings feature mole, bad
ger, mink, wolf, squirrel and beaver.
Satin, crepe satin, MORE and flat
crepe are the favored materials for
dresses in strikingly new shades of
Channel red, jungle green, Spanish
rasin, Wigonette, rustic brown, an
tique ruby Flambic, Dozart blue
mauve castor, Valencia blue, cedar
bark, acorn, navy and black. The
beauty of black takes on extra chic
with bright touches of leather and
Oriental motifs in their trimmings.
Long straight lines, bloused lines
high necks that are convertible long
tight-fitting sleeves, Vionnet and bel
sleeves, drapped waistlines, tierec
skirts, tendency to show few inches
of the skirt below the coat, puffeC
hemlines-all these are new style
notes typical of the new season.
Friske crepe is new material that
develops many smart sports frocks.
