The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. where the new paper currency is
being produced, located within q block
of the Washington Monument south of
the Mall, and housed in a model build
ing erected Is years ago, is the premier
printing establishment of the world
Here 5,151 employees are engaged in %
trades. 1t employs 60 per cent of the
bank-note engravers of the world, so
per cent of the transferers and 10 per
cent Of the plate printers. Its princi-
pal product, negotiable paper of high
value, is said to be the finest made any
where 1t is the most visited building
in Washington, the most carefully
guarded, and because of obviously nee
essary restrictions the least photo
graphed.
Owing to the nature of the output.
employees of the bureau are not permit
ted to leave the building during the day,
and every device has been provided for
their health and comfort. Every pre-
caution and measure of safeguard Is
exercised to see that not even sheet
of the paper used in the printing of
money gets into the hands of the
counterfeiter. All dies. rolls, plates,
altos, negatives, etc, either finished or
unfinished, are placed In the custody of

proof arnored trucks, under the pro-
lection of armed guards, and is then
shipped to the various points OF distri-
button.
During the period of readjustment
from the printing of old money to the
new the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing had to work overtime to print
the amount of old money to supply i'm
mediate needs. All of its time could not
be devoted to the production of the new
money, and it was for this reason that
the date of issue of the lew sized cur
rency was twice postponed. While the
first issue to be put in circulation will
not include the bills of ;areeE denomina-
tion, eventually these notes. $50 $780,
$500, $1,000. $4,000 and $4,000, will
also be produced in the smaller SIZE.

MANY Of the present sized notes will
A'A not find their way back to the
Treasury. but they will remain legal
tender as long as they are out. In time
to come they will become increasingly
scarce and will doubtless have added
value as souvenirs and curioS.
AS the old bills come into the Treas
ury they will be carefully collected
sorted and recorded, then bundled in
bales representing millions of dead dol
lars, and fed to the steel money macer-
ators. Three keys are held by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the treasurer
and the controller of the currency to the
three locks which fasten the lid of the

vault, and are issued only upon proper
requisiticn.
Although the peak of activity at
tendant upon the production of the new
smaller currency is not expected to be
reached before next month. the bureau
is at the present time buster than it has
ever been in its history.
THE mechanical changes which have
been made in the plant and it's
equipment for the printing and handling
Of the new money were vast and re-
quired full year of preparation. This
great task was executed under the di-
rection of Alvin w. Hail. director of the
bureau.
BY far the greatest change which had
to be made was in the numbering and
Sitting machines. Each bill which goes
through the plant must have its indi-
vidual number, and the sheets that
have gone through the presses must be
cut into separate notes. Special ma
chimes, marvels of accuracy and pre-
cision, had been developed by the bu-
reau to do this work, and these had to
be replaced by II new machines capable
of handling the new size currency.
A new scheme had to be worked out
whereby each note would have a differ
ent number, Director Hall explained
1t was impossible for the numbering
head manufacturer to make skip
twelve block. whereas he could make
skip-six block. through the use of which
1t is possible to number on one of the
new numbering and sealing presses as
comparable to numbering on two presses
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-24

of the type used for the large-size cur
rency.
In other words, In laying out num-
| bers at the beginning of the day the
ALLEGATION for one-half of the sheet is as
though this half were handled on an
| individual press and the ALLEGATION of
numbers to the other half is on the
| same basis" The notes are collected in
numerical sequence as they are deliv-
cred from the press.
The numbering, sealing. separating
and packing for delivery of the new bills
is all performed in one division, desig-
mated the numbering division Extra
safeguards are thrown around this Sec
ton. All the work is being performed
within wire cages and a guard is sta
toned at the entrance of the division to
see that no employees leave or no en-
ploye from another division enters the
division without special permission.
AS the sheets of money are received
they are checked with schedules and
the sheets in packages are counted be-
fore the work is turned over to the
presses. These sheets are then fed au
tomatically into the presses by mechan-
ical feeders. In the press, numbers and
seals are printed on the face of each
note, each sheet is cut and the notes
are counted and collected into packages
OF 100. A corps OF expert examiners
then count the notes. examine them
carefully and put them up into pack
ages. The numbers are accurately
checked to prevent duplication.
Steel bands are then welded on each
package, which is then wrapped in
heavy paper, sealed and packed in nu-
merical order in metal trucks. Each
note and package handled is carefully
checked at the end of the day.

THE Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing uses steel engraved plates for
printing of all money and securities, be-
cause 1t is the most difficult to dupli-
cate and cannot easily be counterfeited.
The character of the engraver is re-
flected in his work, which is almost i'm
possible to match.
If any other process of reproduction
should be used by counterfeiters the re-
suit is easy to detect
The need of new plates of an entirely
different design for the new smaller cur
rency was one of the biggest tasks that
confronted the bureau The most skilled
engravers in their respective specialties
to be found in the world are employed
by the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and these artists required many
months to complete each new design.
The secret service. with 20 years ex-
perience in protecting the Nations
money against counterfeiting. followed
the work carefully and all that was
learned in these years was put into the
designs.
An explanation of the intricate and
detailed operations in the preparation
OF the new currency notes is given as
follows:
When it is determined to issue a
new note or other security, the matter
is discussed by the officials in charge of
The several branches of the Government
service involved, and the conclusions
reached by them as to the character of
the design are embodied in a model
made by trained designer in the en-
craving division, where every form of
security has its origin. This model is
submitted for the criticisms of the off,

ton of currency, so that the presence
OF Washington's portrait will at once
identify the note as being of a given
denomination. The portraits of the
faces and the designs for the backs for
the respective denominations have been
selected with the policy in view to have
design on the back which has some
familiar connection with. the subject
of the portrait of the face. Counter
feiting will be much more difficult, and
the public itself, according to Mr. Mel
Ion, will be more readily able to de-
termine the genuineness Of their
money.
The portraits and designs on the new
bills will be as follows:

The new bills will have many adj
vantages. according to Treasury Depart
ment officials. The teller will find them
easier to count as they will fit easily
into the palm of the hand; they will fit
into a smaller billfold without folding
and will thus keep their newneSs longer;
! they will fit into the standard sized
iildliIilR tIlFElORC WlLipOQG lOlduiS,
they will require less space for stacking
in bank vaults and cash drawers and
registers.
But by far the most important reason
| for change in design and size is
economy. The Treasury Department
! will save nearly $4,000. 900 year. With
the present currency the backs are
! printed eight to sheet on power presses
and the faces of ALL except national
bank notes, are printed eight to sheet.
| The faces of national bank notes. are
printed four to sheet on hand presses.
| With the new currency all the backs
and also all the faces are printed IL to
the sheet on power presses.
The following statement recently pre-
pared shows how the reduction in the
size of currency will effect certain ele-
ments. based on 1,000000,000 notes, the
| approximate annual output of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing:
! "If all the large size notes produced
in one year were laid end to end, they

which would encircle the earth at the
Equator four and three-fourths times.
Laid out fiat they would make blanket
large enough to cover thirty-seven 100
acre farms. If all the notes of the new
size to be produced in one year are laid
end to end. they will make a belt 90, $50

earth at the Equator four times Laid

large enough to cover twenty-seven

THE reduction in the size will. there
fore, save each year 1870 miles of pa
per 31s inches wide. Expressed in area,
the paper saved would cover ten 100
acre farms.
"It requires 1865 tons of paper 20
box cars loaded to capacity to print
years output of large size notes. It will
require LIPS tons of paper. SO box
cars loaded to capacity to print years
output of the new notes.
THE reduction in the size will, there

THE distribution Of the vast amount
L. of money in new bills to be sub
stituted for the present bills now in
circulation presents great problem in
itself In order to accomplish this task
the Treasury Department will issue no
new notes of the old size after April 80.
1t will require all of May and June for
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
to record the hundreds of millions of
dollars in new bills and place them in
the Federal Reserve banks for distri-
button. BY July /, it is believed that
all of the new notes OF the first issue
from the ones to the twenties, inclusive,
will have reached these banks. There
will be 857 ,017 SOB cid bills to replace,
about 100000 pounds, or 1900 tons of
money.
These Federal Reserve banks will act
as distributing agents in their separate
fields and will arrange to supply the
member and non-member banks. These
branch banks will order the amount of
new money they will need and will then
distribute it to the public. retiring an
old bill for every new one put out. The
old bills will be sent back to the Fed
eral Reserve banks.
When the date for the release OF the
new money is issued every bank in every
city and town in the country will have
, its supply of new money on hand. Thus
Washington, where the money is actual
| ly being made. will not have the new
money in circulation sooner than any
other part of the country. AS soon as
the money is ready for shipment by the
! Bureau of Engraving and Printing it is
transported to tbs Treasury in Its bullet

EXECUTIVE OFFICES AT WHITE HOUSE
COMPLETELY GUTTED BY FIERCE FIRE

Washington, Dec. 24.-Fire to-
night ruined the executive offices
of the White House in the most
spectacular blaze from a national
viewpoint, since the war of 1912.
While President Hoover and
Mrs. Hoover were entertaining a
party of children of the White
House staff the executive wing of
the building, separated by more
than five hundred feet from the
living quarters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover blazed up, but the only
danger to the chief executive was
the possibility that he might have
been struck by an unruly fire hose,
and he escaped this.
The executive wing was built on
the recommendation of President
Roosevelt who found the White
House proper too small to transact
the business of the nation. It was
a small, one-story structure on the
west end of the executive mansion,
