MONEY BECOMES SMALLER

After many delays the new paper money Is on the presses in Washing ton and will soon make It's appear anee on bank counters. Apparently all obstacles and objeetios have been overcome and the nation is well on the way toward universal use of pa per money one-third the size of the present greenbaek.
 This will be the first change in the national currency in sixty years. The new bills will be not only small CT but altered in design. The yellow or goldback is destined to pass out of the picture. for the diminutive bills of all denominations will be engraved in a standard green color
 It will be remembered that redue- ton Of the size of paper money was one of the earliest economy schemes of the Coolidge administration. The saving to the government will be $2.000.000 a year, the economy be Ill 0AAgNlEu Ill BapGA anu ACtbAl . Twelve new bills can be engraved with the same amount Of paper and labor and equipment as eight of the large notes. This annual saving will quickly pay for the new plates and equipment and for making the neces- sary changes in the bureau of print ing and engraving.
 Eventually the old style bank notes will be as rare. as Indian head pen nies, but while both sizes are in cir eulation counting currency will be complicated by the danger of pigmy bills hiding between 3he large This was one of the objections made by bankers to the new currency.
 Most people will welcome the petit paper. It will better fit billfolds and purses and permit a desirable redue- ton of the size of pocket containers.

DEER IN NEW ENGLAND

Under modern conditions wild life. in order to have 9. chance to exist, must he srtificiallv assisted. Agri- culture and industry have driven game 10 the poorer lands. where food is more difficult 10 obtain, and where existence is SO difficult as to he virtually impossible. Artificial sanctuarios for deer, for instance, are necessary and the supply of food must be provided in part by hu- mans.
 l. is possible 10 increase the sup ply of wild life and 1t has been done; ono needs 10 so no further than New England and several of the other eastern states to find ln- stances. In Vermont deer Mcrc eA- terminated shortly after the Civil war. but Soyrra! Spurismcn from Rutland county obtained r deer for
 
 restocking purposes and they went about II 90 thoroughly that the Green Mountain area of Vermont today contains more deer 10 tho square mile than almost any other place in the world, according to John E. Eurni1am. president of the American Game Protective Associa- ton.
 Mr Iuruham finds, too hat in some ot the eastern states there Is more game today than wss thc case J0 or 70 years ago. In Pennsylvania, formerly a 'shot-out" industlia -t3'c. gam. has increased to such an pNtcut that f is worth more than all of the states domesticatcd stock In the Adirondack socllvn oi New orh which i.s four times the size Of Rhode Island there are more deer than there ever were, even II colonial days. Until about 60 years ago the region was infested witf wolves. These animals were cNter- minated under q bounty system, and with the natural enemies of the dcct I.thus4 removed, they increased rapid ly. During the last two decades with reasonable laws adding to the pro- lection, the deer population is 8 gratifying feature of the landscape Alr.

AUTO RAGING

Automobile racers whose ambition in life is to make new speed records must expect to die young. Sooner or later a tire blows out, or a slight de- pression or weakness in the sands along the beaches where the speed records arc attempted sends the ma chine hurting into Wreckagc.
 Frank Lockhart, American mile track automobile racing champion, thus came to his death while driving 200 miles an hour on the beach at Daytona, Fla. He courted death when he began his stunt and knew t. But the odds were not enough 10 deter him; if successful fame and much money s star driver awaited him.
 Exactly what is gained by drili ing a car 200 miles an hour is hard for the layr,an 10 understand. The car manufacturers. however, sec III if much good publicity, especially when the name of the car is mentioned in all dispatches. Unfortunately for inc publicity business. the name of the car also is mentioned in the dis patches when the smashup takes place.

FLOYD BENNETT

Floyd Bennett died upholdine the traditions of the air. He died after bravely attempting to succor strand- cd fellow aNiators.
 The Arctic adventurcr had earned a high place in the annals of aviation fame. He had been the pilot of the Byrd -MacMillan expedition 10 Green land in 1925. With Byrd he flew over the North Pole when aviation for the first time achieved this distinc- ton. He was among those selected by Byrd to trek to the Antarctic next Fall.
 But Bennett made one serious mis- take. He took to the air before he had fully recovered from an illness which had laid him low in a De- troit hospital. From q hospital cot to the cockpit of an airpanc, braN- ing the chilly blasts of a northern cline, was too much for nature. The effort was made with the highest motives, but idealism does not pre- vent nor can it cure disease.
 Fittingly his body will rest in Arlington cemetery, near the grave of Admiral Peary. The nation bows it's head in grief over the end of one of its stellar heroes of the air.

SAFE TAX REDUCTION

The object of the Democrats in Washington in insisting upon a tax reduction Of $500, O,00O,Oo0 is to put the Republicans in a hole should such reduction turn out to be more than governmental receipts. The L. $. Chamber of Commerce likewise has been insisting upon larger tax reduction than the ad- ,ninistration thinks it wise to make, but the National Association of Manufacturers is for the lower tax of S2l0,O00,o0o.
 The belief that the government , could reduce taxation more than the Republican program mentions is due to former incorrect guesses made by Secretary Mellon regarding the esti- i mated surplus funds of the govern mcnt at the end of fiscal years. It has been shown that these larger sums were due to temporary causes. and no one can tell whether they
 will result again
 It is best to play safe, A tax re- duction of s21o,ooO, 900 is consider ] able.

FLOOD CONTROL PORK"

Pcrbaps Congress will authorize the expenditure of Il billion dollars on Mississippi flood control; at any rate, the wiSeacres in charge of the bill passed by both houses of Con- srcss, and which now is in commit tee for agreement upon minor points. arc not certain how much the gov crnmcnt eventually will be forced to eNpcnd to curb the mighty daddy of waters. All Of which is strictly ac- cording to the modern idea of being economical-which means talking about economy but not practicing 1t.
 In the Senate the bill passed unan- imously; in the House the vote was 254 to 9I. If the President vetoes it the boys who voted for 1t can pass it over the veto, if by chance all the yeas should stick together.
 Mississippi flood control is neces- sary, but going at it like gnawing at q pork barrel is not essential.

a matter of history. Only when the country as a whole is considered is there decrease in game compared with early times. IL must be only question of time. therefore, before the western states adopt the same methods as eastern states have found successful in maintaining the nations heritage of wild life.
 Connecticut at present finds it.
 self trying to regain some Of the wild life it has lost, which accounts for the lack of an open deer shoot ing season in Connecticut. Deer may be shot only when damage is suffer- cd to crops or other damage is done. and in such a case there must be an immediate report to Q game war
 den. In this manner 1t is hoped to help deer to increase, and to all re- ports this is happening. There are deer in the state, perhaps more than was tue case q few decades ago. and not as many as will be the case later if present regulations are con- tinued. Massachusetts is not so for tunate. The Bay state tries manfully to increase it's deer 5l weeks of the year, then for one week there is an open season. This year the leSisla- ture has been importuncd to in crease the open season to two weeks. One cannot have ones pie and eat it too, and in Massachusetts it is being asserted that the deer are steadily decreasing, and were 1t not
 for the fact that deer know no state boundary lines, the supply would be | even less. Our opinion is that the
 New England states should act as a | unit in game preservation. through the forming of mutual agreements | having d common object in view.

PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORSHIP

An inquisitive reporter recently ascertained that President Coolidge doesn't write his speeches. This does not mean that someone else writes them for him. Business men. as q rule, also do not write their speech os. Coolidge evolves his pronounce me1ts in the same manner business and dcbtors-by dictating them.
 Dictation usually results in mak- ing ten words do the work of five; but it is speedy. A president, or any body else. dctating an address. usually sits at his ease and spins along until finishcd-or exhausted. Half an hour or an hour of such dictation results in plenty to read if it ever sees print. President Cool idge's major addresses have not been noted for brevity. The fact that he dictates hls speeches may have some influence in this connection. The only time he was astonishingly brief was when he did not "choosc' to run again-and Was not very specific about it.
 President Wilson, who functioncd at a critical period in the nations I history. was no dictator ot i speeches. The war president was a typist-also a shorthand writer, by the way-and i'll order to get bis ideas into print he preferred 10 sit | himself at case III front of his trusty | typewriter and ill that way confer l tho benefits of his thoughts to hu manity. He did his own editing. too. and when the product was finished it was clothed in impeccable | phrases, the ideas row on row, sue ! CinCtly stated. But even so, the ma ture of the time required detailed speechnaking-or speech writing and Wilson's addrc sses naturally were not always models of brevity There was too much to write about in those days.
 One thing President Coolidge in sists upon when he dictates his speeches, 1t Is said, and that is free. dom from interruption. The hand. shaking executive office visitors are strictly barred while speech -dictat ing is in progress. This is good anG and saf3 plan. That's where editor: are different. Not only are they no
 safe from Interruption, but they ac
 as if they are used to it.
