NOTED AUTHOR PASSES AWAY
George b. McCutcheOn Succumbs
While at Dinner in New York

The death of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon, creator of the fictional
kingdom of Graustark, marks the
passing of one of the last Of the great
romanticists McCutcheon, who drop
ped dead at luncheon of the Dutch
Treat Club at the Hotel Martinique
Tuesday, last, disdained the school of
realists who came into prominence in
recent years, and remained true to the
romatic type of fiction upon which he
built his fame. Born in Indiana in
1866 he attended Purdue University
with his brother John, the cartoonist,
Booth Harrington and George AIDE
and there laid the literary foundation
upon which he built his Balkan cas-
ties. After a few years in newspaper
work at Lafayette, Ind, Mr.. McCut-
cheon planned and wrote "Graustark"
which he sold to Stone and Kimball,
Chicago publishers for $500. That
was in 1901. 1t had a phenomenal
been taken over by Dodd Mead and
Company, a financial readjustment
was made with the author but his
supposed acumen in selling it outright
to the Chicago men is estimated to
have cost him thousands of dollars.
George Barr McCutcheon was nov
elist who considered that his field was
pure romance. While employed as a
reporter on the Lafayette Journal in
1889 McCutcheon utilized his spare
time in writing novel. He complet-
ed it and put it away. Then he wrote
another tale, this one telling Of the
romantic adventures of an American
and a young princess Of a mythical
Balkan kingdom. This novel he at
tempted to sell, but after rejection by
several publishers he sold it outright
to Chicago firm for $500 This was
"Graustars." The book and the play
adapted from it netted the publisher
quarter Of a million dollars, Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon once estimated. The first
novel, which he had entitled "Poo-
too's Gods" was resurrected and pub
lished as "Nedra." The Kingdom Of
Graustark then furnished the setting
for several others of the authors best
known novels, among them Beverly
Of Graustark" and 'The Prince Of
Graustark.D In discussion Of his
works Mr. McCutcheon once express
ed the opinion that his best novel was
Beverly Of Graustark." The auth
or's father, John Barr Mcutcheon, a
Civil War veteran, served as Tippe-
canoe County Sheriff. He died in Of
fee. George Barr was the eldest Of
four children. His brother, John Al.
McCutcheon, is cartoonist "a the

Chicago Tribune. After the success
of his "Graustark" series he had
desire to learn whether his reputation
was responsible for the sale of his lat
er books, so he wrote "Brewster's Mil
lions" and had it published under the
name of Richard Greaves." The
book was well received and it was not
until after a large sale that the public
learned that its author was Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon. Although some reviewers
referred to his "Graustark' novels as
"Zenda Stories, Mr.. McCutcheon de-
clared he had never read "The Prison
er of Zenda" when he wrote "Grau-
stark" He expressed the belief that
the works of Robert Louis Stevenson
had more influence of his writings
than those of any other author. Mr..
NcCutcheon married Marie Van An
twerp Fay in 1904 They had no
children.

pected to begin at 7 o'clock Eastern
Standard Time It will continue until
final results of all the important polit-
ical races have been determined. Thru
the cost t-to-coast network of stations
associated in the election night broad
cast, it IS expected that virtually
every important election result in the
country will be made known to those
interested. 1t is probable that plan
may be arranged so that each of the
stations will undertake to cover def
mite areas in its vicinity. Such mat
ter will be broadcast in the intervals

REDUCE THE SIZE OF UNITED
STATES PAPER MONEY soon
FIRST OF NEW BILLS WILL AP-
PEAR IN ABOUT THREE MONTHS
Size of New Notes Will Be 5-16 X
Ills and Will Be Much Smaller
Than Present Denominations

Announcement that the new thumb
nail' size currency of the United
States Treasury will make its initial
debut within the next three months
has been made by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Henry Henick
Bond. Why the familiar sized bills
are being reduced approximately one
fourth in size is an interesting story
that probably not one in thousand
motorists know-but it is due pri-
marily to the motorist that the old
sized currency is to be taken out OF
circulation and the smaller bill in
stalled. Following the advent of the
automobile it was found that bills of
small denomination came back to the
redemption bureau of the Treasury
Department more often for re-issu-
ance A study, made by the govern
ment, revealed that the CRIME and oil
from the filling station attendants
hands does more than any other thing
to soil notes, causing them to deter
iorate faster than formerly. The
frequency with which a dollar bill
comes back to a filling station has
Just been determined as the result Of
an interesting experiment made by
the American Motorists Association.
IL was found that approximately
every seventh time that a bill chang
es hands it finds its way back to the
Oil station, where it becomes more be
grimed BY oil and smears. The eX-
pertinent was made by circulating 5O
one dollar bills with a request att
tached that each spender endorse On
the slip what he spent it for, and that
the person holding the bill after the
tenth endorsement should return it to
the American Motorists Associations
headquarters at Washington. The
fifty bills were circulated in ten cities
with the results that out of 36 bills
returned, containing 371 endorsements
53 Of the endorsements indicated that
the bill had been spent BY a motorist
for gas or Oil. The smaller sized bill,
which will be 6 5-16 BY ? 11-'6, will
not be folded 50 closely and this Will
increase the life Of each bill appre-
ciably, the department. believes. "a
special study was made also by gov
eminent experts to make the bills as
oil-proof as possible with the end in
view Of furthering their life against
the necessary hard use put to them
by motorists purchasing gas and oil.
