The
Rambler
All About Money
Whatever Thut Is
By JACK JONAS

If your pet hog should swal-
low a hundred-dollar bill,
don't panic.
Rush him to the butcher,
recover as much of the bill
as you can, and take it down
to the Treasury experts. The
chances are good that you can
get your money back.
Far-fetched? 1t happened
once, and could happen again.
Or If your money literally
burns hole in your pocket,
keep as cool as you can. The
Treasury can't do anything
about your pants, but they
might redeem the charred
money.
That happened once, too.
The T-Men, who always did
have a fair for the dramatic,
have on display what is left
of the bill the hog swallowed,
and the charred remains of a
bill labeled simply: Burned
while in gentleman's pocket"
They're a part of one of the
most intriguing museums in
Washington-two small rooms
Just off the Treasury Build
ing'S west entrance, the one
across East Executive avenue
from the White House. The
exhibits concern, naturally,
the many activities of the
Treasury Department.

Saturday Leads
D. {. Figures on
Serious Crimes

More serious crimes are COM
mitted on Saturday than any
other day of the week in Wash
ington, according to statistics
The criminals busiest time is G
pm. and the downtown first
precinct is the scene of more
serious crimes than anywhere
else in town.
This analysis of criminal ac-
Invites shows up in the Police De-
partment's annual report for fis-
cal 1856 released today.
The figures also show that
outside the Detective Bureau
force, the men of the 18th pre-
cinct show the best record in
catching serious offenders.
The 18th precinct, commanded
I by Capt. Otto P. Fuss, cleared
lup So per cent of the crimes
reported in that precinct dur
ing the fiscal year. The fifth
precinct was second with a
clearance rate of 46 per cent.
For the city as a whole, po-
lice cleared 500 per cent Of the
serious crimes committed here
during the fiscal year. This COM
pared with $50 per cent clear
ance rate in the previous fisca
year.
The report attributed the re-
duced rate in clearing up seriou:
crimes to two factors. A large
part Of the reduction, the report
noted, could be attributed to tn,
fact that police have reclassifieC
a substantial number of theil
aggravated assault cases-mosf
of which were cleared up-tC
simple assault. thus taking then
out of the category of Seriou!
crime.
The second factor in reducing
the clearance rate, the report
stated, was the fact that many
plainclothesmen were put into
uniform to direct traffic during
the transit strike of July ano
August. 1855.
The report noted a So per cent
decrease in serious crime during
the fiscal year but added that
this decrease was an artificial
one because of the change in
the category of aggravated as
saults. Had all aggravated as
saults been included in the tables
of serious offenses. the report
explained, the serious offenSes
would have shown an increase
of per cent over 1855.
/ Juveniles accounted for 28.a
per cent of those arrested for
serious crimes, compared with
22.5 per cent in the previous ifs
zeal year.

NEXT IN INTEREST is the


counterfeiting exhibit.
The fanciest and hardest to
detect counterfeitS seem to
come from abroad. Treasury
men had particular trouble
with some well-made counter
felt $40 bills from China.
There are bogus bills that
are easy to spot, too. One
counterfeiter took the trouble
to make an elaborate pen
and-ink duplicate of a $50
bill. But he didn't take the
trouble to find out that
Washington's picture appears
only on the 81 bill.
The customs men have their
displays showing the lengths

contraband goods into the
country, and showing some of
the more ingenious hiding

THE DISPLAY CASES draw
Ing the most gaSpS of sur
prise are those devoted to
damaged money. They're
samples of the type of thing
the Treasury is called on to
do, and all of the money on
display has been redeemed
either at full or part value
after the experts have pieced
it together and identified it.
The things people do with
their money are enough to
surprise anyone but a Treas
ury man.
There are a couple of bills
which were accidentally
dropped into a steel rolling
mill. If you think a dollar is
as fiat as anything can get,
go take a look at those two
bills in the Treasury exhibit.
They're really f1at-stretched
out to half again their length.
For contrast, there's one
just below those two bills
which was shrunk to about a
third its original size. That
one had been left in a milk
bottle which went through the
sterilizing process.
There's a deep-purple $40
bill, left in clothing sent to be
dyed; a bill torn in an enve-
lope; a bill ripped into confet-
