BLAKE MORE EFFECTIVE
OFF SLAB THAN ON IT

CHICAGO, June 10 LP).-Sheriff Fred
Blake, Cub highlander, has a good
alibi for not having been able TO finish
Yesterdays l3-to-6 victory over the
Cardinals
During his stay in the game he spent
lot Of energy running bases, due to
two hits, life at first on an error and a
f1elder's choice. He scored two runs.

Tomorrow the new money comes out,

out. With about 912,000,o00 pieces of
the new currency printed, the Govern
ment will begin the huge task Of ex-
changing them for the 0,000. 00O-odd
pieces of the old currency outstanding,
and this will require from three to four
months. During that time, when bill
folds and pocketbooks win contain an
assortment of both sizes of currency,
there will be roars of disgust and cries
of anguish from those who prefer to
be meticulous and careful in money
matters. For time there viii be some
misunderstanding and some short
changing before the public is ready to
shed entirely the old-sized currency,
which it has used and abused for more
than sixty years. And every now and
then stories may be expected to appear
Of refusals, on the part Of those who
have never heard of the change in
money styles, to swap the old bills for
the new.
