THE BAItKK DAILY, TIMKS, I3ARHE, VT.. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 1015. 2 TIP OVER THE TREASURY Reserve Board Plan Would Release the Sum of , $200,000,00a :.. WOULD HAVE BANKS HOLD FUNDS This Would Leave Little Work for the. U. S. -- Treasurer Washington, D. C, Sept. 28. A major ity of tlie federal reserve board are in favor of a radical change in the method of handling government money. They would have all ou hand held in the re serve bank instead of in the treasury and the sub-treasuries, as at present. Thia change would abolish the present aub-treasuries and vastly diminish the importance of the office of treasurer of the United States. There is a division in opinion among the members of the reserve board as to the time this change should be made, but it is said that there is no division among them as to the advisability of the change from a theo retical standpoint. The change would by no means portend the abolition of the treasury depart ment, as there still would be many de partments of the treasury, such as those headed by the collector of internal reve nue, in charge of the collection of moneys in the United States; the comptroller of the currency, in charge of the super vision of national banks; the customs division; the bureau of printing and en graving, where the paper money is made; the mints, where the metallic money is made, and the supervising architect, in charge of the plana and construction of all public buildings. Then, too, other departments which are not generally known to be under the treasury department would remain. Sev eral of the well-known divisions are the coast guard service, which combines the old revenue cutter with, the life-saving service, and the secret service, the agents of which protert thepresident and run down counterfeiters','? So far as holding JJrjflJoney, however, the secretary of the treasurer would be come only a fiscal officer. He would draw checks with which to pay the gov ernment's bills, but would have virtually no money on hand. The system of pay ing by treasury warrants, which are actually checks on the treasury, would be abolished. . An advocate of the new plan points out that putting it into effect would release more than $200,000,000 for actual use in the country. About this amount ia usually held in the treasury, and often much more, which under the proposed plan would be on deposit in the federal reserve banks instead of being locked up in vaults. Incidentally, were this money all in the reserve banks, instead of being in the treasury vaults, the secretary of the treasury could not make crop-moving de posits. This would pats to the jurisdie tion of the federal reserve board. The board, it ia pointed out, could under this plan deposit all the money it might deem necessary in any member banks it chone, and in that way take care of the crop moving or any other situation that might arise. It is pointed out that no other country with a big banking system, such as the reserve board, duplicates much of its inachinrry by having a treasury depart ment which keepa on hand moat of the .

How the Tiny Insect la Weaned from Hia Jumping Habit. "The teaching of the flea to do any aort of trick is, of coarse, a tedious, difficult matter," said a flea trainer. "The first thing to do is to break it of its natural habit of Jumping. "One can see how necessary this ia when one considers the flea is less tha a one-elghtli of an inch in length and has a Jump of three feet 300 times Its own length. If a six foot man" had the same leaping power he could make leaps of 1,800 feet, so that when a flea has the advantage of one lenp he is good as gone forever. . My apparatus for Jump breaking is a round glass ball. I confine him In this for thrc weeks. I look through this ball, 'touch it, flash lights into it,, talk, do every thinir to let the flea accustom himself to my presence. At first he will Jump and Jump. lie strikes against tlm curved walls and gets bruised. After a time, and I find three weoks to be ample, the flea gets to know me, and be also gets to know that It ia less painful to crawl than to Jump and get bruised. ' ' "The flea cannot ' differentiate be tween transparent glass and no glass, so that when I take hint from the ball be aUll strikes this peculiar obstruc tion and so be don't Jump. So. you e. a flea must have some reasoning power somewhere, but I am in no position to say where it is located. That la why I have to pH-k fleae up with twee7.cn and put them on my arm wben I want to feed them. They don't dare to Jump en me." Kansas City Star. A Disturbing Sound. "There Is no excuse for a man being ran down by a motorcar. All he baa to do is to keep bis wits about him.'' "Of course. replied the recent victim. In sarcastic tones.
