out of visit Maj. Robert J. Barrett

Accompanying Maj. Barrett were

Once their musical chores were

The unheralded visit was part OF
Maj. Barrett's campaign to empha-
size the work of the Police Boys
Club as it hasn't been stressed
since the days of Maj Brown.
For one of the visitors, the camp
trip was a homecoming. Pvt. W.
K. Valentine of the Third Precinct
used to be bugler at the camp when
he was in the Boys Club.
The police officials spent most OF
the day at the camp. They joined
the boys in the mess hall for a
chicken -and-dumpling dinner. Then
the band played again and they
came home.
Maj. Barrett's friends say he had
a wonderful day, playing ball and
particularly talking to the boys.
AS for some of his colleagues, the
percentage of aching legs and sore
backs was repeatedly terrific.
I'm still limping," one of them
sighed last night.

suspicious of them and the long In

At a moment when the gold re-

Initiation in France
Spurs Demand for
1O,O0O-Franc Note

PARIS, Nov. o., (NANA)-With
a scrap of velvet, a wisp of veil and
tuft of plume costing around 1o,-
600 francs in a fashionable hat shop
on Rue de la Paix--and everything
else in proportion-ritzy dressers
and diners are causing a run on
banks for high-denomination cur
rency.
But no note in existence will suf-
flee to pay for the hat, and the
nearest a buyer could come to it
would be to strip off 10 bills from
a wad of one thousands, or hand
over two 5,000-franc bills.
The issuance of 10000 frame
notes-to conserve paper and cut
down the deadweight of paper in
handbags and wallets-is under
stood to have been under considera-
ton for some time by the general
council of the Bank of France but
so far nothing has been done.
Preparation of a new denomination
banknote takes about six months
before it is ready for printing on
the big, four color presses In Paris
and Clermont- -Ferrand.
Bills Issued In 1888.
In 1888 authority was given for
the printing of notes for 5000
francs to check the rush on banks
by people anxious to travel light or
keep money on hand for hurried
getaways. France had not had such
high value for nearly 100 years
after similar note was issued for
a short time and then discontinued.
Even in 1898 it was considered an
unusually big bill and people looked
twice before accepting 1t. Today,
they readily change hands in the
streets Of Paris, and 1,00o-franc
notes are as common as dollar bills
on Fifth avenue.
Other denominations, 5, 10, 40 and
20 francs, are only valuable as small
change and the 100, 300 and 500
franc notes pay the poor mans
