The deliveries of all classes of during the year amounted to 820,742,609 sheets, as compared with 483,455,032 for the previous year, an in- crease of over 9.57 per cent, according to the figures compiled by Alvin W.

The old size Fm,m;- of backs and faces ceased on fovember 1 and December 15, 1928, re- m:flvely‘ The printed impressions of new size notes were stored in the vaults for seasoning and held until all old size currency had been through the numbering, sealing and separating operation. In the meantime the new machines were installed. The| numl and sealing process was gradually shifted from the old to the new size. The change in the number- ing division was one of the most diffi- cult probiems, because a shift was necessary from the old machines of the 4-subject type to the new machines of the 12-subject type involving new prin- ciples of operation. o great bulk of the new notes numbered and sealed during the last three months of the year, so that ry sonnel for that period. Two shifts of ‘workers operated in the numbering di- vision from early March until June 30, increasing the forte from 400 to more than 1,000 employes. “Immediately after the announcement on January 12, 1929, of the inclusion of national bank n;« in !hed sr‘lull size ncy, work began on designs for Thest lasses. | The new designs vary from the old in that the portrait has) Been' placed in the center of the note instead of at the left side.

Already occupying an important post in the mazitime world at the age ot 23 Miss Marie Lorbeerbaum of Vienna, Austria, general passenger agent and one of the managing directors of the Llody-Triestino Steamship Co., owned and operated by the Italian government, is taking a holiday from her desk and has come to Washington to visit her sister, Mrs. H. B. sburgh, of 2240 Cathedral avenue. It Ys the girl's first visit to the United States and it is the first time since Mrs. Lansburgh's ar- rival in this country over five years ago that the two sisters have seen each other, Miss Lordeerbaum, or “Mitzsl” as friends know her, has had a career that rivals in the telling a fabulous tale of More than 10 years ago, when father and the sisters, Anna and Marie, had moved to Vienna from Palestine. ‘They were a quiet, scholarly family with a camfortable income and a beautiful home. As Mitzi witnessed the suffering which from the early years of the war afMicted light-hearted Vienna her heart ached with the desire to ald those around her. Going to her older sister, she said, “We must do something—I will find the ‘means to help.” Scholar and Dreamer. Mitzi's father was a scholar and a dreamer. He knew nothing of finance nor the investment of money. But his younger daughter had developed a mathematical and practical mind at an early age. She took some of her own money, which had been turned over to her at an age when American girls would be unable to spend properly their weekly allowance. to the Viennest Stock Exchange. She made no wild speculations, but studied the market carefully. Then she bought outright stocks which she belleved good red | investments. She was not disappointed, it necessary to withdraw a particular plate for printing for each bank.

Work Never Forgotten. Officials of the company never forgot the work done for them by the litile Viennese girl. Upon the retirement of a high official in 1924, Miss Lorbeer- baum was sent for by the general man- ager of the Lloyd Triestino Line. Would Miss Lorbeerbaum accept the position of general passenger agent in their Vienna office? Mitzi was 18 at the time. ‘The ition was accepted and Miss Lorbeerbaum tells you with justifiable pride that the company which former!y had operated only in the Adriatic and the Mediterranean now has ships which sail all the seas.

He was the business agent for the Theater Ushers and Cashiers’ Union. He had served a term for burglary and had been under $12,500 bond on a charge of robbing a druggist. Nar- cotics from the drug store were found in his home. He was accused of luring a diamond salesman to the fourth floor of the South Wabash avenue building, but the gem merchant learned that the floor was vacant and made a timely retreat. Another theory linked him with the shooting Sunday morning of Ted New- berry, a North Side gangster, found wounded in front of a Broadway cafe, but, like every other suggested motive, was only conjecture.
