New Issues Will Conform
With New Monetary
Plan of President
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Withdrawal of all present
stocks of paper money from cir.
culation and replacement with
bills which conform with the new
monetary program under which
gold redemption is banned, was
undertaken by the Treasury to-
day.
About a billion pieces Of paper
money will be replaced.
Approximately 1890 million dol
lars is involved in the gigantic
transaction.
Time Required
The operation will be gradual
and will require several years for
accomplishment, experts believe.
All varieties of paper money
will be changed. The Treasury
has created a new series of silver
certificates based on the recent
silver purchase program.
The total circulation Of all
money. including gold certificates.
gold, silver and minor coin is
about SIS, 100000. All gold and
gold certificates have been ordered
turned into the Treasury.
At the present time about $50
million dollars in gold certificates
remain in circulation. The
Treasury'S records do not Off
cially show gold outstanding
although there still is a consider
able volume in circulation.
The Farm Relief Act of 1880
made all money legal tender while
other legislation relieved the Gov.
eminent of the responsibility to re-
deem paper money in gold. The
new paper will be printed in con-
formity with this policy.
The Treasury still has large
stock of paper money of the pres
ent type. This will be used before
any of the new type goes into
circulation. The present stocks
include paper signed by former
Secretaries Mellon, Mills and
Woodin, and by Secretary Nor
genthau.
The Federal Reserve note.
which makes up the bulk of the
paper circulation, will contain the
contract: this note is legal ten
der for all debts, public and pri-
vate and is redeemable in lawful
money at the United States Treas
ury or at any Federal Reserve
Bank" The present note is
marked "redeemable in gold on
demand at the United States
Treasury or in gold or lawful
money at any Federal Reserve
Bank
The present circulation of Fed
eral Reserve notes is about $780,
100000.

MRS.ROOSEVE[T
VISITS SLIM

Before "Slim" Williams and
his team of Alaskan huskies left
for Chicago last week they re-
ceived farewell visit from Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt met slim" last
year at the Chicago Fair and
they became great friends.
Commenting on her visit last
week, she remarked the great diff
ference between the dogs. She ar
rived just as slim" was giving his
team their daily meal. The leader,
all dog, leaped about his master,
boiling his food as it was given
him.
His teammates, however, all part
wolf, refused to touch their food
until the visitors had departed.
Mrs. Roosevelt said their inter
est in the proceedings could have
been accurately measured by the
degree of wolf blood in their veins;
the less dog, the less inclined to
exhibit emotion before strangers.

both of which are likely to meet

YOUNG CWA WORKER, %, SLANBECAUSE ELACKED NICKEL
WOOlen Pauing
Puts Tires in
Serge Suits

It may be all wool and more
than a yard wide, but it isn't
so hot for road construction.
That, at least, is the verdict
Of Australia on a scheme to
use wool. Of which they have
a lot, for road material, Of
which apparently they have
too little. The Department Of
Commerce gets the story.
The Australians used the
wool as binder for pavement
and this provided a good run
ming surface when the road
was dry and beaten down by
traffic, but in wet weather it
collected on the wheels of the
vehicles. After running a
couple of hundred miles the
tires all were wearing blue
serge suits.
So, the Australians have given
up the idea.
