TRIMMING SIZE i OF DOLLAR BILL r jNew Currency May Reach Public in February. I By ALFRED P. RECK WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Uncle Barn’s new $1 bill is to be only twothirds the size of the present '“frog skin,” but the Bureau of Printing and Engraving has found its production involves almost as much effort as changing the model of a Ford car. The Treasury Department authorized the new-sized currency several months ago. Work on the engravings was started immediately. The Bureau hopes to start printing Nov. 1. After the presses once start running the new bills can be turned out at the rate /)f,.2.000, 000 a day. However, the pew issue will not go into circulation' * immediately as a two months’ supply must be run off and placed in the treasury reserve. It probably will be late in February before any of the odd-sized bills find their way into the cash registers of the nation. Americans have been known as teasy spenders, but tc the Bureau of Printing and Engraving they are also regarded as hard spenders for they wear out approximately 1,500,000 dollar bills every day. I.

BEGIN HERE TODAY JERRY MACKLYN, advertising manager for the Peach Bloom Cosmetics Company, gets the consent of his secretary, VERA CAMERON, to transform her into a beauty only after she sees and falls instantly in love with a man who ignores her. Jerry proposes to publish her photographs in Peach Bloom advertising booklets. In refashioning her, the beauty specialist uses a picture which Jerry finds in his desk. Vera, also known as VeeVee, is so beautiful after the transformation that Jerry falls in love with her. His love continues even after he learns from her slightly jealous aunt. FLORA CARTWRIGHT, with whom she lives, that Vera is to spend her vacation at Lake Minnetonkia, hoping to meet the man she is in love with. At the Minnetonka, Vera is treated with deference and awe. SCHUYLER SMYTHE, the man she Is in love with, assures her he met her in Palm Beach five years before. Her attempts to convince people of her true identity are unsuccessful. During a ride with Smythe, Vera learns some facts about the woman she is being mistaken for; she learns there was a marriage to a title, millions. Because she sees Schuyler is i nlove with the girl he thinks she is, she finds frank confession impossible. She decides to open a letter which Jerry gave her with the advice that it was to be opened only in case she found herself "'in a jam.” NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIX mHE sight of Jerry Macklyn’s bold, black, angular handwriting on the large sheets of office stationery which Vee-Vee unfolded caused her a tiny pang of home-sickness. Dear Jerry! The thought fitted through her mind as he- eyes swept over the sheet before they started to read; then excitement blotted out the image of Jerry. For, characteristically Jerry jumped into the heart of his subject: “Dear Vee-Vee: I’m scared stiff. Gosh, how could I know whose picture I was copying when I played Pygmalion for my bespectacled private secretary There wasn’t any caption on the darn thing, and I lay it all to her blamed green eyes. Just the color of yours, Vee-Vee, you darned little natural-born vamp that was about to miss her calling! “Well, I found out after you got your hair bobbed just like hers — and I’ll bet there is not another bob in the world just like yours and hers. But then it was too late to change you and I thought I’d let it ride, without telling you. “No use to get you all stirred up, I figured. I thought I’d be able to persuade you to keep out ol trouble’s way by becoming Mrs. Jerry Macklyn, but when nothing would do you but to chase off to Lake Minnetonka in quest of a sheik, I knew I’d better warn you, specially in light of recent developments.” “Why doesn’t he tell me who I am?” Vee-Vee scolded. She read on, her green eyes wide and avid: “When I read the enclosed story in one of the scandal sheets today, after I’d left you this evening, I knew I didn’t have any time talose. “The likeness is too startling to miss causing a small riot. You’ll see by the enclosed dippings that you are an almost exact duplicate of the famous Vivian Crandall. Can you beat it? “The initials are the same, too! She’s the American heiress, worth forty millions or so in her own right, to say nothing of what she'll get when her daddy croaks. Maybe you remember that the luscious Vivian was married off to a Russian prince by her title-worshiping mama about four years ago. “But you can read the whole story in the enclosed clippings. The dickens of it is that Vivian divorced her Russian prince in Paris about three weeks ago, came back to New York, had a bloody battle with her bitterly disappointed mama, and—disanpeared. “The papers have been full of rumors as to what the iair Vivian was doing, the general opinion being that she was in hiding somewhere with a good-looking ne’er-do-well she’d picked up in Paris while she was getting her divorce. “You see the idea Somebody is going to spot you, jumD to the conclusion that you are Vivian Crandall, and draw down on your de-. senseless head a ghastly lot of miblicity. Now, I don’t want to frighten you, honey—” her breath caught at that carelessly dropped word of endearment. Was she becoming a cheap little flirt, gloating over her conquests as Aunt Flora gloated over her husbands? —"but if you should get into such a jam. as this—and you must be in it or you wouldn’t be reading this letter—l want you to wire me immediately. “I’ll hop into an airplane if 9, train can’t get me there quick*, enough, and I’ll fight your way o’it of this thing for you. Trust Jerry! I can’t give you any more SDecifle instructions, for I can’t tell, of course, just what will happen. “I do know you could tell them till you were black in the face that you were Vera Victoria Cameron and they wouldn’t believe you, once they got on your trail—the reporters, I mean. “Os course you will have this letter to show, but they’ll think it’s trumped up as part of your incognito. Naturally the unpleasantness would only last a few days, that it, until Mama or Papa Crandall could arrive to identify you. And by golly, you might fool even them! “Now. listen: above all things, don’t get the idea that it would be fun to be a princess incognito and try to play the game. Dangerous business, honey! I’m telling you! “The Crandalls might even be nasty enough to sue you for fraud, or misrepresentation or impersonation. or some such fool thing as that. Watch your step, darling. And if the reporters or private detectives get on your trail, wire for Jerry! 1 1 guess it won’t interest you to know

that I love you, but it interests me strangely. Jerry.” There was no doubt that Jerry was seriously, deeply concerned for her. Her fingers grew cold as she fumbled in the envelope for the clippings. The first she drew out was the color-print portrait of which she had caught a glimpse in Jerry’s office, when he had shown it to Kitty Proctor, as they schemed her transformation from an ugly duckling into a swan. “Oh, lovely!” Vee-Vee breathed, almost devotedly, as her avid eyes drank in the beauty of the pictured face. Jt was a portrait, painted by a French artist. It showed the head, shoulders and bosom of a young woman, who looked slightly older than Vee-Vee, more proudly sure of herself, more arrogant of her beauty—which was no new story to Vivian Crandall, who had been wearing the title of princess for four years. “We look almost exactly alike, but there is a difference,” Vee-Vee decided, “a difference in soul, perhaps.” She turned to the mirror to study her face alternately with the portrait in her hand. “She looks as if she had been through a rather terrible hell and refused to be broken by it. I like you, Vivian Crandall. I don’t care what you’ve done! And—l don’t blame Schuyler Smythe for having loved you for five years.” She dropped the print of the painted portrait to the top of her dressing table and drew the news clippings out of the envelope. Odd that she had missed the entire story; in the papers! But she only read the most conservative, staid papers and never waster a moment on scandal, the doings of society, or crime stories. She arranged the unfolded clippings on the dressing table, glanced at the sensational headlines: CRANDALL HEIRESS DIVORCES PRINCE VIVIAN CRANDALL RENOUNCES TITLE FOR LOVE PRINCESS NOW PLAIN MISS CRANDALL Vee-Vee dimpled at that “Princess now plain Miss Crandall.” Plain? PRINCESS VIVIAN DISAPPEARS AFTER ROW WITH FAMILY PRINCE IVAN SAILS FOR NEW YORK; WILL ATTEMPT RECONCILIATION WITH PRINCESS VIVIAN. NEE CRANDALL, WHO DIVORCED HIM IN PARI£>. LOVE NEST HINTED IN CRANDALL HEIRESS’ DISAPPEARANCE She glanced hastily at one of the news stories, conscious that time was passing rapidly and that Schuyler would be awaiting her impatiently. She had promised to join him at half past seven, to dine with him. The story, a signed one, undoubtedly clipped from the society columns of one of the more sensational morr.ing papers, was written in that familiar, chatty style which is supposed to intrigue the hoi polloi who know of society's doings only through the newspapers: “I told you so! Pardon me for again committing the social faux pas of bragging, but I must remind my readers that I predicted, as long ago as last December, in the Issue of December 19, to be exact—that the beauteous Vivian, affectionately known in Newport, New York and Palm Beach society, before she became a princess as Vivi. would not be willing much longer to pay the bills which he Russian husband. Prince Ivan, has such a talent for running up. “A blond charmer In Vienna, a Juno in Rome, and a cabaret cutie in Paris proved to be a little too much for one red-blooded American heiress to stand for—or rather, to support, and, just as I predicted, the long suffering princess took her troubles to the Seine tribunal and has received quick redress therefor. “The only title to which the fair Vivi is now entitled is that of dollar princess, and since her fortune, which her father, the sagacious Rufus Crandall, shrewdly protected for her, amounts to a cool and fairly adequate forty millions, she is certainly entitled to that tag of royalty. “Society’s tongue is wagging busily today, recalling the magnificerit ceremony at St. Luke's which gave in marriage a reluctant American heiress to a Russian whose title meant less than nothing, but which

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Mama Crandall was determined to have.. “It is safe to wager that Mama Crandall has derived a thousand times more pleasure out of Vivi’s title during these last four years than the beauteous Vivian herself.” “What rot!’’ Vee-Vee thought disgustedly. “I haven’t time to read any more of this stuff now. Schuyler will be waiting. Nothing can happen tonight. I’ll finish reading it when I come up to bed.” She stuffed the clippings into the envelope, was about to insert Jerry’s scrawled explanation, when an obscure impulse, probably born of caution, made her thrust it beneath the snug little brassiere of lacetrimmed net. “The envelope of clippings she returned to the dressing table drawer, then began, with anxious haste, to dust her cheeks with the pearltinted powder. "If he hadn’t been in love with that other girl for five years I could tell him the truth, show him Jerry’s letter. But if I do. I may lose him. Jerry,” she patted the crackling sheets hidden in her bosom, “I’m afraid I’m going to disobey you—and take the consequences.” (To Be Continued) Vec-Vee keeps gn the pretense, despite Jerry’s warning:. But there Is one to whom her deception is causing pain. Law Officer 25 Years Bit Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 11.—J. L.
