"seasoned" Collar bills
In pre-war days the average life of a dollar bill was
about fifteen 'months. .Nowadays its life is only about
eight months. . The American billfold is a lodging for
transients food, shelter, clothing, fuel, movies, motor
cars, all sorts of goods and services invite the guests to
leave the lodging. Little bills, and big bills, too, are
much with the world, and go to pieces in active circula
tion. Since the world war our Treasury has not been able
to print bills fast enough to meet current needs and at
the same time build up a reserve. To serve the demand,
bills have been printed and placed in circulation within
ten days, although the bills would be more durable
could they go slower through the printing processes and
be "cured" or "seasoned" for two or three weeks. The
Bureau of Engraving and Printing has prepared to turn
out a greater number of bills during the next fiscal
year than ever before. '
'.- The bill is first in war, first in peace, and first in
and out of American purses, The silver dollar is archaic,
it is too heavy, too bulky for its value. It is not strange
that the ten million silver dollars sent out by the, Treasury
djd not stem the popularity of paper money." Every
silver dollar has its day, perhaps, but, that day belongs
to the past when people said of a man, "His money is a
.burden to him." . .

Rather discouraging, itsn't it, to
think that whenever you start a

end along. Well, shoot Henry, the

yesterday who, as Diamond Lakers
'seem to have a habit of doing, pro
ceeded to tell us sweltering mortals
about the wonderful time he had up
there. He said all you had to do to

your hook in when they weren't
looking. Sounds fishy. Also that the

love, and the nights as cool as a

Halt a league, half a league, half
a league onward,
' Into the farmers' fields marched by
the hundreds,
Leaving behind them the waste they
had plundered;
Grey fuzzy army worms mustered
for war.
Thousands on thousands, blighting
thru tender hay.
Swiftly devouring each thing to
their taste.
No trace of fresh verdure left by
them on their way,
Leaving behind them a brown bar
ren waste.
Whllo led by the brains of Chor-

to say: "Well, I suppose if it isn't
one darn thing it's another.".

Stewart's Daily Letter
Hy CHARLES I. STEWART
XEA Service Wrllrr
WASHINGTON. July 24. Cries
of rage always are to be heard,
coming from the National Goo
graphic Society's headquarters over
on Sixteenth street, for several days
after there's been a public refer
ence to Juan Fernandez as "Robin
con Crusoe's Island."
There's been one of theso out
breaks ' lately, following the death
of Dr. W. C. Farabee. the famous
erplorcr, wVose wanderings were
widely described in the obituary
notices as having included this
particular speck on tho map, al
most universally alluded -to a-: thn
homo of Daniel Defoe's hero dur
ing all the Aears his literary cre
ator kept him cast away.
Anybody who ever read Robinson
Crusoe knows that Defoe speaks of
his Island a3 right in tho tropics
hotter than pepper 3 65 days in the
year, and 308 of them quadrennial
ly. Defoe goes into considerable
detail concerning the isle's fauna
and flora and the whole thing Is
tropical parrots, palms and every
thing else that goes with a climate
mighty close to the linos.
- Now take a look at a map nf
South America, and three or four
hundred miles oft the Chilean
coast you'll find Juan Fernandez,
in almost exactly the same south
Getting Back His Self-Respect
ern latitude- as Huenos Aires, where,
aerordiiiir to oruss dlKimifhnH. thn
j thermometer stood nt 5 below zero
a few days ugo.
' Juan Fernandez was Alexander
Selkirk s island all right. Captain
Stradling of tho Hrllish privateer
Clnn.uo Ports murooned him there
in 1704 and ho stuck it out, all by
himself, for four or five years bo-
forei another ship took him off.
They do say Defoe got a good
deal of his dopo from Solklrk but
he certainly didn't borrow tho lat
ter's island to put In his yarn. Tho
Crusoe and Selkirk islands don't
match.
'
Some National Geographic So
ciety members say Defoe had In
mind an Island off the south or
southern Central American Carib
bean coast. Some say ho ' hadn't
any particular island in mind nt all,
being more Interested In Robinson's
adventures than in tho part of tho
world ho experienced them in.
