32-PASSENGER PLANE WILL
 BE IN COAST-TO-COAST OP-
 ERATIQN IN FEW MONTHS

CHICAGO.--Anthony Fokker, who has built 11,000 airplanes since 1911. has designed giant .32-passenger monoplane which will be put into -op- eration on a, a6-hour transcontinental flying schedule between New York and the Pacific coast within the next few months.
 Announcement nf the Fokker Air craft Corporations plans was made today by Henry Reed, secretary-trea- surer of the corporation, at the inter national aeronautical exposition here.
 Fokker, whose new six-passenger air yacht, was placed on exhibition for the first time last night, smiled broadly as Reed made the announce ment.
 The luxurious air liners, the first of which is now under construction at the Fokker plant in Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., are to be similar in general appearance and construction to the Fokker planes. used by Con- mander Byrd to cross the Atlantic, by Lieutenants Maitland and Hegenber- ger to Hawaii, and in the Southern Cross flight. from California to Aus tralia..
 They will be much larger, however, and will be powered with four engines arranged in tandem pairs under the wings. No engine will be placed in front of the fuselage. giving the pilot clear. view at all times. .Fokker said full flight! could be, maintained on any two of the motors.
 The cabin space will be 34 feet long, 5with.,a width of feet, and an average height exceeding 8 feet. Two lavatory. compartments fitted with toilet, wash basin, running water and other conyeniences, will be provided,

WASHINGTON. = Smaller pocket Dodks will be the vogue beginning July l.. Cash registers and tills will also display shrinkage contours and pay envelopes probably twill be- con- siderably thinner.
 That. date. has. been set tentatively fon issuance of the new and smaller size United. States currencys
 Federal Reserve banks will be the issiling body for both greenbacks and yeNowbacks, reduced one-third ia size from the present hills.
 The Treasury Department regards tha one-third shrinkage as a profit, however, expecting to save that pro- portion of the. present expense. of printing and servicing bills. There will be no. change in intrinsic value or denomination.
 Issues of the old size currency will cease next April 30, and for two months demands for currency will be met by Federal Reserve banks from new or circulated old-size bills.
 During this period the public may fntl an unusual number of badly-worn bilis in circulation, but when July l dasxns the new small currency will make it's cracking, if diminutive ap- peacance.x,
  Even after July 1 some old bills will continue to change hands, due to problems involved in circulation and redemption, but the Treasury will re- quire at. an early date redemption of all old currency as it reaches Federal Reserve banks.
 National bank currency will not be included. in the initial distribution, pending decision by Congress as to whether it is to be. retired.

listeners that this location was in
the direct line of march of wealth in
its onward rush to the great sea

of many locations, but this was THE
one where seven thoroughfares cross

were about to be built, which like
lodestones would attract wealth to
this particular spot We were ad-

the advantage should be grasped now

How fearful he was lest we should go
astray, make mistake as many had
done, fail to decide to buy at once
and pass on to perjury and obscurity.
He almost wept over the possibility
of our going wrong, when opportunity
was so near at hand. His remarks
were punctuated with much applause
and at the close it was prolonged.
This was the climax. We had been
sufficiently inoculated. All that re-

would be on the highway to opulence.

spiders web where it is designed that
the inexperienced and unwary become
entangled. A little plot had been set
aside and laid out for headquarters.
There was a main building with audi
forum, stage, screen and opportunity
for the displaying of stereopticon
views. In side room was the kit
chen, where lunches were prepared
and from which they were served.
Instead of regular seats in the audi
forum, tables large enough to ac-
commodate four were provided Out
side was a spacious yard for parking
automobiles, fence enclosure con-
tanning an inner court and comfort
stations. Around this little court at
close intervals were stationed at least
dozen tiny office buildings Each
contained little table, three or four
chairs. Each little office building
was blacarded with the name of it's
operator. 1t was into one of these
houses that later l was ushered for
the final act. whereby the company
was to receive. goodly sum of money

We had not long to wait until a
bell rang inviting us to lunch. Around

sat, while our guide, Mr.. Ketchum,

Mr.. FiXum, the man with the million
dollar smile, was there, and oh, how
considerate he was. He was on the
floor, among the guests inquiring
solicitously after their comforts and
always with that irresistible smile
How sweet he was.
Lunch over and the dishes cleared
away, Mr.. Fixum mounted the stage
platform amidst raptuous applause
During the stage performance, l was
particularly cognizant of the fact
that the timely applause originated
and was carried on regularly by the
solicitors and statesmen. They had
been trained to applaud at the right
time. How enthusiastic they were!
How carried away with the brilliancy
of the profound utterances of their
employers! No star performer could
have been received with warmer ac-
claim. The audience seemed to be
carried away with enthusiasm. Mr..
Fixum continued to smile. That
alone was sufficient to captivate the
audience. He told of the disinterested
