BUT
 THOSE BANKS


 From gold notes to two bitses and five centses is quite jump, but just to get you back down to earth and your usual level again, the Treas ury Department wishes you would please break up all the children's china pigs and other devices for saving small change, so as to get all this subsidiary currency back in- to circulation. The reason is simply that there's such shortage of all denominations from penny to half dollar that merchants, payroll clerks and such people are having trouble making change. 4
 The Treasury line, if they issue a formal announcement about 1t, will not be against saving as such. Uncle Sam still wants you to save all you can. But instead of sav- ing it in coins, buy savings stamps with it, so as to get the copper, nickel and silver into use.
 One thing that particularly worries the mint people right now is the unconscious hoarding of metal coins being done by juke boxes, automatic vending de- vices, pay station telephones and slot machines. If you just stop to contemplate the 20 or more nickels lying idle in the draw of every juke box of the country, it isn't hard to conjure up an image of a mountain of metal in the form of small change.
 This new f1ve-cent piece, to be half silver and half copper instead of three fourths nickel and one fourth copper, is still having its difficulties, and to date has as yet been set to start coining. It's the eltctro?magnetic detector in coin machines, put there to reject counterfeit slugs, that causes all the trouble. These detectors sim ply won't swallow a nickel of sil- yer and copper. Manganese seems to be the best bet to introduce int othe alloy to make it mag netic, but manganese is critical material too. Mint metallurgists are still experimenting.

Warnings of its explosive nature have been dire. Society in genera, has been cautioned to resist tho temptation to be among those who poured" on such occasions, and tl confine ministrations to fine spray of water.
 However, etiquette styles change with bombs as with doughnuts, and the Emily Posts of Civilian Defense now have ruled that bombs not only may be drenched but "dunked." Though there remain some sticklers for the genteel process. the treat them-rough group point out they are following the lead of those more versed in the art of greeting the un- invited visitants.
 Some time ago the people of Great Britain learned through experience that the main thing was to get on with the war, and not waste time eiher in pampering bombs or argu- ing over their disposal They douse them promptly and without cere- mOny.

 THE SPOT

One obstacle to this plan which has apparently been overcome con- eerns a literal translation of the language printed on these gold notes. On each bill it says, "Re- deemable in gold" meaning that if you wanted to get tough, you could sohve one of these through the bank teller's window and demand gold coins for it. Of course there aren't any gold coins in circulation and there can't be, as long as the coun- try is off the gold standard, unless the law is changed.
 At first it looked as though these cold storage gold notes couldn't be used unless they were run through the printing presses again, and that "Redeemable in Gold" phrase XXXX'd out.
 But finally the lawyers and the anti-red tape experts decided that since the law of 1884 said you couldn't circulate gold coinage, it didn't make any difference what it said on the face of the gold cer- tif1cates. So the idea now is to go ahead and use the old things anyhow, and tell everybody to pay no attention to what it says about being redeemable in the stuff that cinks and glitters.

brand-new spending money of the crispy, crunchy kind that crackles and snaps like a boot-black's shine rag playing a tune over new bro- gans. This neat government hoard of the root of all evil represents a reserve stock that was printed up back in the days when such cur rency still was legal tender and spendable paper of the realm.
 The move to get this money back into circulation represents no deep dark inf1ationary plot. The alarm ist fear that the printing presses might be started to reduce some of the public debt hasn't been realized yet. The idea is simply a sign that in an emergency it's possible to cut through red tape and use common sense, like this:
 As business expands and national income goes up, there is an increas- ing demand for more money in cir culation. This $4 billion reserve sup ply of gold notes represents a $2 million printing job, taking into &C., count the cost of paper, ink, nylon and time on the presses. All these materials are now scarce. To print up new batch of greenbacks suf- ficient to take care of the war de- mands would cost another $2 mil lion or so. The logical conclusion would be to bring these old gold certificates out of the safe and put them to work.
