heard a sound, and saw the two

lied from his position that he was

WASHINGTON Letter
BY HERBERT C. rLUMsrER

WASHINGTON. May 2O.-Not only will the Ameri-
can people be able to get more paper money into their
pockets after July !. but the government will effect a
tidy saving by reduction in size OF our currency.
SO says A. W. Hall, director OF the bureau Of en-
craving and printing. He estimates that the change
will save each year:
1910 miles Of paper ga of an inch wide. Express
ed in area. the paper saved would cover ten ioO-acre
farms. q.
45s tons of ink. or the capacity of is box cars.
14.iO0 cubic feet of space for each Of the I. 100000
900 notes carried in stock Che annual output Of cur
rency in the United States).
The new currency will be put into circulation about
July !. 1t is the first time in 66 years that a change
in the size OF American paper money has been made
and is. therefore. an important event.
Every department Of the bureau Of engraving and
printing is going at full blast. Approximately 5000 en-
ployes are working in shifts grinding out bills Of all
denominations.

MONEY ROLLS OUT

The several hundred machines in the huge plant
on Fourteenth street just above the Washington mon
ument are turning out greenbacks with lightning
rapidity.
Every effort is being made from Director Hall to
the lowlieSt employe to be ready when Secretary Mel
Ion gives the order to turn the small bills loose
These smaller notes. says MI. Hall, are destined for
a much longer life. He expects that more notes will
be carried in pockets with no folds. or with a lessening
number of folds.
The new currency also is strengthened by having
the grain of the paper the long way Of the note, which
is made possible by having the silk distributed over
the whole note instead of in two rows.
Counterfeiters and note rasers will find themselves
baifled If they attempt TO tamper with the new issue
Changes in design have been made. and while they
are not material and the new notes retain practically
all the major characteristics Of the present currency,
nevertheless they are significant.
