FLOOD Of CHECKS
Change in Pay-0ff System
Expected to Result
From Survey.

In order to help relieve difficulty
and confusion on Government pay
days, when the Capital has flood of
checks totaling about 100000, some
change probably will be made soon in
the manner of paying Federal workers
so as to decrease the number of checks.
Acting on suggestions from the
Board of Trade, the Treasury Depart
ment has launched study of the
situation. and plans to act.
A committee, headed by George
Barnes, executive assistant to the
Treasurer, has been appointed to con-
slider the question, but no decisions
have been reached.
QueStiOnnaireS Distributed.
Questionnaires have been sent out
b. the Treasury to all Government
departments and establishments.
The committee was appointed by
William H. McReynolds. administra-
tive assistant to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who has general supervi-
sion of the survey.
Action by the Treasury department
followed a letter written to Secretary
OF the Treasury Morgenthau by Rob-
ert v Fleming, president of the Board
Of Trade.
In this letter the board made GER
tain suggestions and cited the diff
Guilty faced by Government employees
ho10nc
days The aid of the Board of Trade
was offered in helping to work out the
problem.
Complaints have been received by
this organization, Fleming said from
Government employees, merchants,
bankers and business men that it is
practically impossible for many Of the
employees to get their checks caShed
promptly. or for the banks and the
merchants to take care of the sud
den influx Of checks.
Hardships Are Cited.
"As an indication of the problem,
last pay day one store had to send to
the bank for S120 900 in cash. and later
in the day for an additional 100000
SO as to cash Government employees
checks. Though they set up 10
windows, they kept employees waiting
from one-half to three-quarters of an
hour. The same situation is true OF
the banks.
Additional responsibility is also
placed on the business houses to see
that the checks are in order. that the
persons cashing the checks are en-
titled to do so, and many other tech
nical problems. The result is that
many Government employees, not
known. have difficulty in cashing their
checks"
While no decision has been reached
in regard to the matter. pending re-
ceipt of the questionnaires from Gov
eminent departments and further
study. it was learned from reliable
quarters that some change will be
made.
The Board of Trade has had accom-
mittee working for some time on*the
situation. This committee consists OF

Riedel was the botanist of Rus

he gathered one of the most extern

in tropical South America. Many

he found have seldom, or never, been

STOP BAD BREATH

Thousands of people afflicted with
bad breath find quick relief through
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. The
pleasant, sugar-coated tablets are
taken for bad breath by all who
know.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act
gently but firmly on the bowels,
stimulating them to natural action,
and gently purifying the entire sys-
tenn. They do that which danger
Gus calomel does without any of the
bad after effects.
Olive Tablets bring no gripping
pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr. F. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after 20 years of practice
among patients afflicted with consti-
patton with the attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound: you will know them by
their olive color. Take one or two at
bedtime for a week and note the effect

 That we" is correct. She drives to town every few days to do her husbands typing. And he looks pleased about the arrangement. Mrs. Roosevelt seems to fit per fectly into the Roosevelt tradition of much-to-do, and an unruffled smile through it all. She has house to settle, five-months'-old little Miss Ruth Roosevelt to watch and yet there is time to work with her husband.
 Country Squire Evening
 Their day in Washington is filled with hearings, conferences-some shopping for the house-and then they turn the nose of their car into Hhe sunset.
 At home, faithful Mary and her , husband, servants Mrs Roosevelt brought from her Texas home, are getting dinner Upstairs the nurse is waiting for the young parents to put little Miss Roosevelt to bed. Then a regular country squire's" evening lies before them-reading before he fireplace, 'puttering" around the new home, or just l strolling down the lane and sniff ing the autumn air
 Books line the living room walls. A fine clipper ship model stands on the mantlepiece in a glass case, a gift from the President to his son. Soon the new Roosevelt in terest-aviation, represented by FL liott-will find a place. His air. plane models are not yet unpacked
 But the pictures are. Some are up. Some aren't.
 Have you ever tried to hang pictures which belong to two peo- ple?" Mrs. Roosevelt asks with a laugh.
 Say, if a marriage outlasts pie ture hanging, it's good" explains her husband. And they both laugh again
 Put Libraries Together
 The books were easy to place. They put their two libraries to- gether and found there were sev- eral duplicates.
 That pleases them. It means they liked the same things even before they met.
 MT. Roosev is particularly proud of a volume his wife in- herited from her grandfather, a first edition of North American Indians" with the original Catlin drawings. Her favorite is a leather bound parchment edition of "Gulli- ver'S Travels" which Elliott gave her.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-There is one tired old buffalo which has finally come to rest in happy hunting ground.
 His massive, stuffed head stares dumbly up from the floor in the den of the new home of the young Elliott Roosevelts. One night soon the Presidents son and his wife will hang him up.

CONKLIN IS BUSY MISS
 IN M OvIELAND
She Has Two Weaknesses Signing Things
 Other Raw Meat
By ROBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 26. = Two weaknesses-at least two-has Peg gv Conklin. One is for signing things" and the other is for raw meat.
 These she revealed in a catch-as- catch-can conversation that started out as an interview and developed into: l. A romp with dog. 2. A visit with an old friend, and 3. A session with hair dresser.
 If Miss Conklin brings to her role in The President Vanishes"- she's leading lady in the romance department-one- half the personal ity she displayed in this repor- torial session, she may startle as a fresh discovery"
 The odds are against it, sadly enough. The hair dresser, as we left. was arranging her tousled hair into neat curls and the gentleman from the set, sent to fetch her, had reminded her that she was to wear what she had worn in the morning. HAS HEARTY LAUGH
 Besides, no leading lady in seri- ous drama is allowed to laugh so much, so heartily-yea, so im- pertinently!-as Peggy managed to laugh in this half hour. Certainly no secretary in the White House that's Peggy's role-sits gamin-like with her knees in her arms, wear ing tousled hair, slacks and a plaid jacket, and jumps to the floor to scramble and wrestle with dog, all the while answering questions.

 Her experience in 1901, when the Wilson's didn't dare kill single chicken for fear the egg supply would give out" made her resolve never to fall below her 200-gallon quota.
