HOW MANY MEN COULD HAN-
DLE A BAG CONTAINING AT
LEAST ONE HUNDRED AND
SIXTY-SIX POUNDS?
Withinin the past week the following
item appeared in many of the dailies
throughout this section, particularly
Philadelphia, Lancaster and Harris-
burg. Here is the article:
In a Satchel
Philadelphia, March 8—Fearing he
might be fined for hoarding, an un-
identified man appeared at the teller’s
window of a central city trust company
and said he wanted to make a large
deposit.
“We can take your deposit in a cus-
todianship capacity,”
and Bag
said the teller.
“It won’t be credited to your account
until the bank holiday is ended,
though.”
The customer reached down, opened
a heavy black bag and began stacking,
$5, $10 and $20 gold pieces upon the
counter. When he left the bank with
his empty satchel, officials revealed he
had been given a receipt for $46,000.
They refused to divulge his name or
occupation.
Hard to Believe
To the average person that sounded
like a believable story but to us it was
more like one of those “believe it or
not kind.

fore the people of Pennsylvania—
the matter of providing relief for
the 2,000,000 men, women and chil-
dren who must be fed with public
money or starve. Your help is need-
ed and needed at once. I am writing
this to ask you for it.
There is no State appropriation
for relief after March, There is no |
Federal grant for relief after March |
And we cannot get Federal money |
unless we appropriate State money
first. We cannot ask the Federal |
Government to carry our whole load
and it would very properly refuse
if we did.
The General Assembly has been
in session for eleven weeks. It has
set a date for its final adjournment
one month from now. Yet not one
cent for unemployment relief has |
been appropriated by either House.
We are facing the tremendous dan-

lack even such daily bread as it is
possible to give them now.

Wants Beer
IN A SURPRISE MESSAGE HE SAYS
REVENUE FROM THAT SOURCE
IS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR BUD-
GET IMMEDIATELY
President Roosevelt, in a message to
Congress Monday, asked for immediate
legislation on beer. The message fol-
lows:
“I recommend to the Congress the
passage of legislation for the imme-
diate modification of the Volstead
Act, in order to legalize the manu-
facture and sale of beer and other
beverages of such alcoholic con-
tent as is permissible under the
Constitution; and te provide thru
such manufacture and sale, by sub-
stantial taxes, a proper and much
needed revenue for the govern-
ment.
I deem action at this time to be
of the highest importance.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The President considers revenue to
j be derived from beer taxes very im=
| portant to his budget balancing pro-
official estimates of the amount
expected running to above $125,000,000
| annually.
Reaches Decision Suddenly
The President reached his decision
suddenly to ask for the beer measure
at this time. It was an elemental part
of his budget-balancing program which
he hopes to put into immediate effect.

HOUSE PASSES BEER
BILL BY 316-97 VOTE
THE
President Roosevelt’s third major
proposal of the special session—the
Cullen 3.2 per cent beer bill—was
rushed . through an enthusiastic
House yesterday to the Senate,
where Democratic leaders confident-
ly predicted speedy approval.
Uproarious during three hours of
debate, in which the minority pro-
hibitionists hammered vainly
against the Administration’s reve-
nue legislation, the House over-
whelmingly passed the bill, 316 to
97.
Wildly supporting the measure
that is expected to bring in from
$125,000,000 to $150,000,000 annual-
ly in revenue, 238 Democrats, 73
Republicans and 5 Farmer-Labor-
ites shoved the measure through
with applause and cheers. The last
House, on December 21, passed the
bill 230 to 160.
Action came within less
hours after President Roosevelt
sent an unexpected message to
Congress asking for immediate pas-
sage for revenue purposes and to
fulfill the party’s pledge to modify
the Volstead act to permit the man-
ufacture and sale of beer.

7 Different
A good many people are talking in-
flation of our currency, which brings
to mind that our money, the thing we
use and want most, we know little
about. Few people realize that there
are seven types of paper money in the
country today, as but a few see more
than one or two types. The types are:
United States notes, gold certificates,
silver certificates, treasury notes, fed-
eral reserve notes, National bank notes
and federal reserve bank notes. A new
money authorized in 1929 was known as
the new series. Bills of $1 have the
face of Washington, $2 bills have the
face of Jefferson, $5 bills the face of
one of the season.

Do You Know That We Have

$20 bills the face of Jackson, $50 bills
the face of Grant, $100 bills the fac: of
Franklin, $500 bills the face of McKin-
ley, $1000 bills the face of Cleveland,
$5,000 bills the face of Madison, and
$10,000 bills the face of Chase.
Just how many of our readers would
recognize or has ever seen the face of
Madison or Chase on one of these
notes?
The editor has seen the faces of
Grant, Franklin, McKinley and Cleve-
land many, many times—but in news-
