ONE BILLION DOLLARS
HIDDEN OR HOARDED.
Some where in America more
than $1,000,000,000 in real money
is hidden. hoarded, or lost.
The Treasury Department is hunt-
ing it. The prospects of sucess in
the search are altogether uncertain.
Many, many millions, perhaps hun-
dreds of millions, of dollars will nev-
er be found.
The disappearance of this vast
pile of cash was disclosed today in
response to inquiries at the Treasury
as to what become of the old paper
currency which now has almost
completely vanished from circulation.
When the Treasury began issuing
the new small currency on July 10,
1929, the books showed $5,120 000
old style paper money outstanding.
The Treasury at once began re-
tiring the old bills as fast as it
was possible to replace it with the
new currency. For a while, the Bu-
reau of Engraving, operating day and
night, was unable to meet the
demand.
Until the first of the year, it was
the policy of the Treasury to retire
only the ragged and dirty bills
which were plainly unfit for further
use. Since then all the old currency
received has been retired and only
new style bills issued.
In spite of the extraordinary
speed in disposing of the old cur-
rency the latest check made after
the abnormal demand for the new
currency had subsided, showed an
astonishing amount of the old bills
outstanding. On March 31, the rec-
ords showed $1,336,000,000- of - the
large bills some where in the hands
of the public. This included approx-
imately $60,000,000 in one dollar
bills, Since that date the amount
retired has been comparatively
small.
The Treasury has several theories
concerning the disappearance of
the money. First, it must be remem-
bered the record of July 10, 1929,
covered the entire period during
which the old hills were issued. The
Treasury, of course, had no way of
computing the amount of old money
outstanding except by calculating
the amount issued. It had to be
prepared to hand back a dollar in
the new money for every dollar it
had ever issued of the old money.
Since only about $60,000,000 of
the old currency outstanding is in
one dollar hills, it is apparent that
a large proportion of the remainder
must be in bills of the very high
denominations, The Treasury assumes
therefore, that some of this money
must bein the hands of banks hold-
ing them tefaporarily for reserves.
Probably a sizable portion of the
old bills is being hoarded. Many
people probably have one or two as
souvenirs and will not turn them in
until they become “broke” and are
compelled to spend them. Many
more, however, prcbably have been
stuffed into strong boxes and hid-
den away by persons with the
strange instinct for playing the
miser. That kind of lost currency
the
is
may eventually turn up after
hoarder dies and his estate
divided.
If past experience is a guide, the
Treasury probably will be redeeming
hoarded currency for the next sixty
years. For instance, it is still retir-
ing the old “postage stamp” money
of the five-and-ten-cent size from
Civil War days at the rate of $2
to $3 worth a week.
Perhaps a large part of the van-
ished currency has been entirely de-
stroyed. The Treasury calculates
that considerable money “goes up in
smoke” every year in fires and some
goes down to the bottom of the sea
in ship wrecks,
As fast as the old money comes
initis subjected to “the process of
retirement” under the supervision
of a committee of seven. That pro-
cess consists of cutting the money
in two, shifting the parts around
so that there is no possibility of
their being joined again and then
dumping the mass into ten huge
maceraters which reduce them to
pulp. ;
For several months the macera-
ters were worked overtime, two at
the Treasury and the others atthe
Bureau of Engraving. Ninety extra
employees were required to feed the
bills into them. But recently the
incoming tide of old money dropped
to such an extent that the force
has been cut to normal.
Meanwhile no one in the Govern-
ment is worrying about the lost
billion of dollars. Whatever even-
tually fails to turn up for redemp-
tion will be just so much “velvet” to
Uncle Sam.
CUB BEARS AND DEER
SUFFER IN FOOD SHORTAGE.
John B. Ross, district supervisor
of the State Game Commission, is
the custodian of three bear cubs
which were discovered by employees
of the commission. One was found
near Emporium and two in Elk
county.
The three cubs were in ema-
ciated condition. Scarcity of food
in the fall forcing the young ani-
up before having
conditions in the Pike county dis-
trict where 31 dead fawns have
been found.
Preliminary investigations indi-
cated that the young deer had |
starved to death due to shortage of |
natural forage. No indications of |
or communicable |
disease was found.

gray-haired woman, neither beauti-
ful nor famous, has come to
fore in the last few years to claim
this distinction. Her name is Mother, |
and she held the center of the stage.
on Sunday, May 11, which is now
nationally observed as Mother's Day.
Proof that this title belongs to her
is offered by the National Confec- |
tioners’ Association. which reports |
that gifts of candy for Mother's
Day are more numerous and costly |
than for any other holiday except
Christmas. Even Valentine’s Day is
less important. It is estimated that |
4,000,000 pounds of sweets of all!
kinds are purchased and given to
mothers on that one day alone.
These are not all old-fashioned
peppermints or horehound drops, |
either. Mother's sweet tooth seems |
as catholic in its tastes as it is |
capacious. She likes chocolates of all |
kinds, the newest and most elaborate
bonbons as well as the simpler can-
dies. Fruit centers are high favor-'
ites; so are nuts and caramels and
the chewy sweets.
The packages that fond sons and
daughters are selecting are trimmed
in ribbons and artificial flowers.
Some hear old-fashioned silhouettes
and others are gay with crimson
and gold. Tender mottoes and fer-
vent inscriptions assure the recipient
of her child’s undying devotion, i
Mother, no doubt, is a popular
person the world over. But Amer-
ica is the only country where on a
certain anniversary she is showered
with gifts of candy and flowers
that bring back the days of her
youth.
1134 HUNTERS LOSE
LICENSE PRIVILEGE.
Since 1923 when the Board of Game
Commissioners was first vested
with power to revoke hunting Ili-
censes, such action has been taken
in 1,134 cases, according to the last
compilation made.
At present 380 revocations are
still in effect. Of that number ac-
tion was taken on July 11, 1929, in
299 cases, for periods of one or two
years, according to the offense be-
ing punished.
The board has power to revoke
hunter’s licenses for one or two
years after conviction of any game
law violation, destroying personal
property or crops, careless use of
firearms or intoxication while car-
rying a loaded weapon.
Conviction for a second or subse-
quent offense permits the Commis-
sion to revoke licenses for not less
than two years nor more than three.
