The government plans to placard •he banks of the country with posturdng the public to use the least number of bill* The posters wtt' point out the beneficial effect as follows:— j Decrposc thf* bulk of^currency lto t individuals need carry in their pockets. 2. Decrease the bulk of currency that change-makers need handle and keep in their tills. 3. Decrease the bulk currency that bank cashiers need handle, count and carry In their cages. 4. Decrease the work of money counters everywhere. 5. Decrease the chances of making mistakes. fi. Decrease the detail of money counting and recounting at the Treasury Department at Washington when new bills are issued or old ones redeemed 7. Decrease the Wftlk of the money to be manufactured by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for issue by the Government 8. Save the government directly a possible one-fourth the cost of this manufacture and the public many times as much in the waste labor of counting and recounting innumerable small bills. The public, efficiency experts contend, handles money—the greatest tool in the hands of man—awkwardly and that by taking thought the man ner of its use could be caterial'y improved by just using big bills in the place of little ones. o—■ Motor Police Warned Against Over-Zealousness Indianapolis, Sept. 14. — (United Press)—The chief duty of the state motor police is to enforce the motor traffic statutes, Frederick Scherte ineier, secretary of state declared in warning the state motor policemen •gainst over-zealousness in attemptin' to enforce the dry laws. An order issued by Schorteruier was on the bulletin board today at tho office of Robert Humes, chief of the motor police, calling attention to the policemen to their duties. “It is not my intention to protect any person guilty of violating the liquor laws,” Schortemeier said, ‘‘Hut our men have no legal authority to arrest liquor law violators. “To all intents and purposes of th? automombile law. they are traffic policemen. J have observed on trips over the state that there are still plenty of violations of the traffic laws to keep our men busy all the time. , “They should not arrest every person for a minor offense such as innocently passing a traffic sign, but it is their duty to help control trafic and save lives." Scortemeier recommended that the Police in the future direct their energies toward enforcing the nuto laws and arrest liquor violators omy when the offense also constituted a violation of the state laws. o • WILL CLEAN HOUSE St. Joseph County Grand Jury To Probe Liquor Law Violations In South Bend.

Horn, brought down with a bullet in the thigh, was caught attempting to enter several homes. He denied that he was the notorious marauder. o FRANKFORT—The Rev. J. N.
