It is a tremendoys task to keep track of every bill that s Ermted. to say nothing of having to account for every inch of paper used in their manufacture. But it must be done.

His clastmates also delight in telling of the part young Hughes played in the freshman-sophomore fight in the year that he was a second classman. Hughes' class had attempted to kid- nap the leaders of the freshman class and thereby pre- vent the holding of their snnual ban- quet. A battle royal ersued. It became so heated that a ecountry constable in the town of Cranston took s hand. Some say that the boys were pep- pered with bird- shot from the gun of the constable, One or two are known to have been hit, but whether “Charlie” among the number is not known defl- nitely. Hughes had a fine record in the World War. He trained at Camp Upton, N. Y., in 1917 and sailed for France in April, 1918. In July of that year he was promoted from private to a bat- tallon sergeant major in the Field Artil- 'y and detached for service in the was | y er; And the face value of the "m“'h" | Samur artillery school preparatory to must be paid, be it large or small.

A group of auditors from one branch of the Treasury Department not con- nected with the bureau is at work con- stantly verifying the balances as re- corded in the accounting division. Actual securities are on hand in the several divisions to determine that securities have not been removed maliclously without detection. Everything must be accounted for in each division before any employe of that division is permitted to leave the building at the close of work. This means that 5000 persons have gone through the most careful tests and checks before they are told that they may go for the day. These employes are not even per- mitted to leave the building during the noon lunch period or at any other time during the day. -— A good example of the eternal vigl- lance practiced in handling this paper money is to be had in the way the old issue of currency will be disposed of after July 1. As the old bills come into the| Treasury they will be carefully col- lected and recorded, bundled into bales and carted to the steel money macerators, There are three keys to one of these macerators. One each is held by the Secretary of the Treasury, the treasurer of the United States and the con- troller of currency, and on each macerator there are three locks. ‘These three officials or their repre- sentatives, in wmg:ny with a fourth representative of the people and banks, will each day personally unlock the macerators and place in them the old currency. The lids will then be locked, water poured in the macerators, and 150 knives will reduce the bills to pulp. When President Hoover announced the appointment of Charles Evans Hughes, jr.. as lollcl::: general ‘:( tfll}: United States, more n a passing in- terest was manifested in the Chief Ex< ecutive’s selection. It was heard on all sides that it was a matter of congratulation. The intro- duction of young biood of Hughes' char- acter—he will not be 40 until next No- vember—into the public service was held to be a splendid thing. Chief Justice William Howard Taft Teneraa ot the ‘age of 32 i s eneral a age X =n important step in his distinguished career. Priends of the younger Hughes de- clare that his most outstanding char- acteristic is his modesty. It was this quality that set him apart as one of the most popular students at Brown Uni- versity, where he graduated in 1900. Even at that time his father's name was powerful. Everywhere he went he was pointed out as the son of Charles Evans Hughes, While he was a sopho- more at Brown his_father was elected Governor of New York. He was sub Jected to much kidding from his fellow students, for Brown has ever boasted of the fact that it is one of the most democratic institutions in the world, and that it matter little what the man's father is. The Liber Brunensis, the university anual, gibed young Highes in its cal- ‘endar of events of that year with the m“'%t' Efifie‘&& returns come in. Brown men win all around. ‘Charlie’ Hughes, jr., celebrates his father’s vic- was & member of the New York firm of Hughes, Schurman and Wright. 123 i, Sardine Rarebit.

Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and when well blended stir in one and one-half cups of milk. Continue stir- ring the mixture until thickened and bolling. Then add two cups of soft cheese cut in pie-er, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoon- fuls of tomato catsup, cne-half tea- spoonful of salt and one-fourth tea- sgoonlul of paprika, Stir until the cheese is melted, add the sardin:s and serve very hot on saltine crackers or thin, crisp toast. Any rarebit s much improved in flavor if the plates it is served on are also hot.

May 28, 1857.—President Buchanan has accepted the invitation of the board | of directors of the Military Asylum, or | Soldiers’ Home, to reside in that vicin- | ity during the Summer and autumnal months and to occupy the house va- cated by Surgeon King of the Army. ‘The Soldiers’ Home is about 4 miles from Washington and is ap- proached by a good road. The situi tion is healthy and beautiful and the residence which will be occupied by the President is surrqunded by natural ob- jects such as enhance the value of a rural residence. A quiet retreat after the business of | the day will prove pleasant to the Pres- | ident. But this is regarded as of less importance than the avoidance of chills and fever, to which of late years the constant occupants of the Executive Mansion have been exposed and from | which ex-President Pierce and other persons of his household were sufferers. ‘The first vessel loaded with coal that has arrived in the mouth of the City Canal for the last 12 years came ur to the Fourteenth street bridge the other day for Mr. Worthington, coal merchant.

Why “His” Savings Matter. A daughter of rich parents does not think it matters whether her future husband has saved any money or not. He has a good job now, thanks to his future father-in-law, and he is ambi- tious. Anyway, this young lady rea- sons, if they should be short of cash her father will always be willing to help them out. ‘This young lady is all right in be- ing optimistic, but regretably things do not work out normally as she sup- poses. Marriage confers a real responsibil- ity on a husband, and he should be able financially to shoulder it. Having a prop is convenient at times but it has certain disadvantages. First of all, knowing the prop is there when needed is not calculated to make & young man ambitious. Secondly, it invites all sorts of parential interfer- ence. Young folks should live their own lives and if need be make their own mistakes. Dependence on one's parents robs marriage of all meaning, and soon leads {to trouble. If the young husband be- comes a pensioner, he may or may not accept the stipend with gr: on the other hend, the parent may not make his handout a gracious one. If there is a family, the futility of | being married to & man who can mot | support his own children becomes too |obvious. If the young man has lost | his job, he may find it easier to accept | bounty «1an to work for a nominal sal- ary. His job hunting may become per- | functory. Then real trouble sets in, and like as not love flies out the window. | No matter how much one's parents | have, or how willing they are to share | it, a marriage that cannot pay as it goes along is in stormy treacherous waters | at all times. That is why “his” savings matter. Not only do they indicate his habits and character, but they offer | surance against dependence. The | amount of savings need not be sub- | stantial. Regular saving will soon in crease the amount, but there must b | a nucleus. Dethol is death to Bugs BUGS can’t dodge Dethol.
