ENGRAVING OUTPUT DROPS DURING YEAR Production Decrease of 2.27 -Per Cent Reported by Director of Bureau. More than six billion dollars face walue in paper money, more than six billion dollars face value in bonds, notes d certificates, and more than twenty- billion stamps were turned out at cle S8am’s Bureau of Engraving and ting last fiscal year. This prodigious output, large as it was, according to Alvin W. Hall, direc- tor of the bureau, in his annual report, Yepresented a reduction from the output of the previous year. Deliveries of all classes of work— fncluding paper money, which was ted 12 notes to a big sheet—amount- t0 338,541,969 sheets during the 1930 fiscal year, as compared with 346,406,035 sheets for the previous year, a decrease of 7,864,066 sheets, or 2.27 per cent. This decrease is accounted for, Mr. Hall explained, by a decrease of 8,658,556 gheets of currency, customs, revenue and postage stamps, and miscellaneous ftems, and an increase of 794,490 sheets of bonds, notes and certificates. Reserve Stock Printed. Tn sddition to the printing of the | delivered sheets, there was printed, at the request of the Federal Reserve , & reserve stock of 2,125,000 gheets of backs and 2,125,000 sheets of backs and faces of Federal Reserve potes for the various Federal Reserve banks. “The printing of the initial supply | of the new small-size currency, which was placed in circulation July 10, 1929,” Mr. Hall said, “was completed on June 30, 1929. The latter part of the fiscal ear 1929 was marked by a tremendous ‘u‘reue in currency production, neces- sitating the employment of additional help and considerable overtime. A sharp decline in the production program on currency of the new size, which im- mediately followed the issuance of the in supply, required not only the immediate disposition of the temporary personnel engaged in accomplishing the unj dented production of the last f of 1929, but also an adjustment of the permanent force to conform to the new production program. The serv- ices of the temporary force were dis- continued on July 6, 1929, while the surplus help employed in a permanent ecapacity was absorbed through the gestoration of the rotating furlough system.” The average number of persons em- ployed during the year was 4,741 as with 4,920 during the pre- vious fiscal year, a decrease of 17§ persons, or 3.64 per cent. Production Cost Cut. To turn out the billions of paper money, securities, and stamps cost the Government for tion of the bureau Jess than ten million dollars, as com- pared to more than ten million for the year. ‘The totals are interesting in com- gm to the stupendous amount of value money and securities manu- factured. For a cost last year of $9,806,803.11 #t the bureau the Government pro- duced 25,323,631,820 stamps; $6,985,- 307,920 face value of United States otes and certificates, national bank currency and PFederal Reserve notes; $6,249,163,590 face value of bonds, notes certificates, and 55,842,921 miscel- laneous checks, drafts, warrants, com- missions, transportation requests, and other things. ‘The big money plant continues to attract thousands of tourists and vis- , many of whom are interested in & pew history of the bureau.

Napoleon J. Beausoleil, 772 Eleventh strezt southeast, yesterday filed answer to a suit for a limited divorce brought | against him by his wife, Ruth I. Beau- soleil, 2515 Seventecnth street. He denies the wife's charges and declares that he “has always since marriage pre- pared his own mcals in the morning and did his own washing and ironing.” He asserts that he has done the best he could to care for his wife and two children, but has not been able to keep out of debt because of her alleged ex- travagance. His wife'’s mind has been poisoned against him, he says, by her mother. The action of the wife in nagging him, he declares, has caused him to wander around th: streets alone until late at night. The wife has property of her own and gets an income from the tenamts, the husband declares. He is represented by Attorney Ralph A. Cusick. Made Infantry Captain. John M. F.

Ranging from starry universes, count- less billlons of miles distant, to the depths of the ocean, the latest scien- tific researches and discoveries of the Carnegle Institution of Washington will be revealed at the annual exhibit at the institution’s headquarters here, which will be open to the public next Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Many of the exhibits will shed light on the profoundest mysteries of life itself. The department of marine bi- ology has arranged an apparatus to show the complicated flow ‘of electric currents in the living cell, the unit of life. The deflection of & spot of light will show the passage of a current about one-millionth of that uesd in an ordi- nary electric light. Cell Life to Be Shown. The department of embryology will show the movements of cells them- selves, living their own life. It has been found that some of the white blood cells lend themselves to such a demonstration. By other mechanical arrangements will be shown the proc- ess of photsynthesis, or the mysterious utilization of sunlight by plants which is the basic process of plant and ani- mal life. The weird effects of high voltages will be shown by the department of terrestrial magnetism, and curious ef- fects of endocrine gland variations by the department of eugenics. Among the most interesting of the exhibits are ADAMS T0 DISCUSS NAVAL BUILDING Secretary Sends Committee Request for Modernizing 3 Battleships. By the Associated Press. Administration plans for bullding the Navy to the London naval treaty limitations are to be discussed tomor- row by Secretary Adams before the House Naval Committee. Shortly after being summoned by Chairman Britten, along with other maval chiefs, Secretary Adams sent to the Senate Naval Committee a request for legislation authorizing moderniza- tlon of the battleships New Mexico, Mississippi and Idaho, among other proj for construction. Secretary Adams and Admiral Wil- liam V. Pratt, chief of Naval Opera- tions, will discuss the plans behind closed doors. “Up to the present moment,” Brit- ten sald, “Congress has not been in- | formed of any steps taken by the ad- ministration to bring the Navy up to midwife.

The exhibit of this de- partment also includes newly discov- ered evidence from gypsum caves in Nevada that man in the New World may have been assoclated with animals now extinet. New Planet Exhibited. From the Mount Wilson Observatory comes an exhibit dealing with the newly discovered planet Pluto, the eighth member of the solar system. A diagram of the orbit is shown, together with actual photographs of the planet itself. The central feature of the as- tronomical exhibit is a sketch of the observable region of the universe. There will be a collection of original negatives photographed with the 100- inch telescope at Mount Wilson. ‘The geophysical laboratory will show the processes of growth and changes in crystals under effects of high tempera- tures. Other exhibits will reveal the processes of basal metabolism. New methods devised for investigating the atomic nucleus will be shown by the department of terrestrial magnetism. Although considerable knowledge has been acquired by physicists concerning the outeg structure of atoms, the nu- cleus, which is Pr-ctlca]ly the base of the physical world, is very little known. Thus far practically the only knowledge concerning it has come from the study of radium and other radio-active materials. Greenwich Village R;ided. NEW YORK, December 6 (#).— Pursuing a carefully mapped plan to dry up some of Greenwich . Village's molst spots, prohibition agents con- ducted a series of whirlwind raids to- day.

The modernization recommended to the Senate committee would cost $30,- 000,000. Although Secretary Adams did not specify what vulel.r{m desired to con- struct, the Navy has under way plans for several new destroyers, submarines, an aircraft carrier and one experi- mental, 6-inch cruiser with a flying deck. The destroyers and submarines would replace aged craft of the same type now in commission. g_em Naval Secretary asked for ex- perimental power plants for submarines, many of those in use being unsatisfac- tory. He urged action on legislation to accept free sites for a_dirigible base either at Sunnyvale or Camp Kearney, Calif. Legislation affecting protection of naval petroleum reserves, increase in pay for personnel, disposition of sur- plus graduates from the Naval Academy, erection of emergency radio stations, regulation of promotion, distribution and dropping of officer personnel and relief of personnel who have suffered loss through service also was proposed. He asked authority to extend the bankruptcy laws to the Virgin Islands, which are governed by a naval officer, and the transfer of Housing Corporation lands at Vallejo, Calif., to his depart- ment for naval purposes. it ot Among the candidates nominated by the Farmers’ party in the recent elec- tions in Norway were a newspaper edi- tor, two attorneys, a clergyman and a | rower to make monthly de- posits to accumulate a fund with which to repay the loan at the end of the year or at the end of whatever period for which the loan is made.
