1 I 1 ? ' ?' 1 I ' ' 192$ Will Mark Change in Size of Paper Money 1 v Standardized Designs Expected To Make Note Raiser's Task Mock Mare Dfffkult Washington, D. C., Dec. 28.?The year 1928 will marie the first change in/size of paper money since 1861. For months the Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing, the greatest print shop in the worid^will be busy making new and smaller $1 bills so that upon some fixed day next fall they may be issued simultaneously throughout the country and the old ones retired at one swoop, to be redeemed, of course, up on demand. Notes of other denomi nations will be printed and put in cir culation probably in 1929.. The new note will be 6 5-16 by 2 11-16 inches whereas the notes flow in circulation are 7 7-16 by 8 1-8 inches. By the change the Government ex pects to save $2,000,000 annually.. The reduction in size of the bills is expect ed to increase the capacity of the Bu reau of Engraving and Printing by 50 per cent because twelve of the smaller notes can be printed at one impression upon the same press which now prints but eight Through the change in size the bills will be made more convenient to handle and will also be more durables. The new notes wiS slip into a bill-fold or pocket it is claimed, without crease ing or folding, and for this reason are expected to have a much longer life than those now in use. The life of the average bill now is not more than six or sfeven months, treasury officials say. Folding is one of the chief items cutting short the life of paper money. . ? ? - V X, -1? Designs on tfie ouis are 2U5D u; yc standardized. Many designs now ap pear ob the different denominations and the various kinds of notes. Wash ington's portrait, for example, appears both on the $1 and some $20. bills. Treasury officials point out that through standardized the designs the new notes cannot be so easily "raised" to higher denominations by the crook ed gentry who make this their busi ness. In addition to standardized de signs on the new paper money there wfll be a relation between the portrait en the face and the engraving on the i -L- |l(lnnn ? ? &i8 aitd v~tihc; On the face of the new $1 bill wiH be a portrait of Washington and bn the bad: will be the word "ONE" in large letters.

For the face of the $20 bili Grover Cleveland's portrait has beer chosen with the White House for the bade.

Divers Continue Tunnel Digging Some of Bodies of Men Lost On The SnbmariBe S*4 May Be Recovered Soon Povincd&own, Mass., Dec. 28.?Some of the bodies of the victims of the S-4 submarine disaster which lie in a brcken hull 17 fathoms Under water off Wood End, may be brought to the surface within two or three days, it was indicated today by those engaged in the Navy salvage operations. - Be-' cause the second and "last tunnel thai must be made under the submersible befo.-e she can be raised already is half completed, officers expected that divers would be sent inside of * the hull before the end of the week to seal the compartments preliminary to the unwatering operations. When this was done, they pointed ont, some of the bodies might be recovered. Divers, aided by nearly perfect weather conditions today, completed the first half of. the second tunnel. Tommorrow, providing weather con ditions remain favorable, work will continue on the other side of the sub marine to finish the second half. Two more days is all that should be neces sary, with fayorable weather, to see "the tunnel through, officers in charge said. The completed half of the sec ond tunnel is twenty feet deep, six feet wide and high'enough for a man to stand in. Today Lieutenant Commander JUd ward EUsberg called attention to the figure of a woman standing on the bleak sands of Wood End and said that he had noticed hen standing there day form early morning until sundown gazing out upon the salvage opera-! tions. A. reporter, rowing ashore, ap proached her. He found her dressed in mourning. Beside her was a small bag. Asked the reason for her long daily vigil, she said: "I am praying for these beys on the S-4,1 am saying a prayer that they will get up the bodies and raise the submarine." , I her first name or her address. She - said that none of the S-4 crew was a relative. The salvage ship Falcon dropped her mooring tonight and put into the lee GfLWood End. She will do this each night from t now on, inasmuch as there is to be no night work and those in command feel ; that she will have better protection, f A 100-ton floating crane from the 1 Brooklyn Navy yard which will be I used in handling pontoons dropped 1 anchor in the baflbor today. it ' r Much Boosted ? , ?

Lindy Agaim Gets Resuls as Aerial WMpsK Evidences Of Better Relations I Between Mexico And U. S. Already Seen - ? . j Washington, Dec. 28.?Executive ! acts tending to crystallize-in to definite form, the atmosphere of reapproach i ment between Mexico and-the United | State that surrounded the Lindbergh [flight from Washington to Mexico 1 City came to-the surface today in both [ capitals. , President Calles moved toward the amendment of& his repubEc'a^oil law, in conformity with the recent decision of tfye Supreme Court of Mexico in the Petroleum Company drilling permit case, apparently with the purpose of Eliminating retroactive features of Articles 14- and 15, against which American companies have appealed to the Mexican courts. * ^ President Coolidge .made it known that the Washington government was preparing to ease the arms embargo against Mexico to penpit importation by the Mexican government of air planes and other munitions from the United States. The State Department announced that a license had been is sued to permit the Mexican govern ment to purchase the Ford plane in which Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh flew to Mexico City to join her son for the Christinas holidays. The action of the Mexican president came as a complete suiprise not only to the State Department but to the Mexican embassy here. No authoriz ed comment on the significance of the proposed amendments to. Mexican oil laws that have been the main bone of diplomatic contention between the two governments for the last two ye&rsL was available either at the Depart ment of the Embassy. * } ? - The fact, however, that President Calles has seen fit to :rapke prdmpi measures for bringing those laws into conformity with the court ruling that the cancellation of drilling permits in the Mexican Petroleum Case "was unconstitutional, obviously ha$ further revived tension. Presumably, if the Mexican Congress Completes the en actment of the administration amer ground of their own weight. In the absence of such a legislative treat ment of the problem, four additional similar decisions by the court would have been necessary to establish a pre cedent of non-constutionality in re gard to the sections of the oil laws in volved. Whether the language either of the decision in the Mexican petroleum case or of the proposed amendments is broad epough to solve the whole controversy over attempted retro active application of the Mexican doc trine of nationalization of natural re sources, no official in Washington car ed to say. The written text of the eourt decision has not been received by the State Department or the em bassy, although it is understood to have been signed and prQbably to have prompted President Calles' move to amend the laws. In couneotion^rith the easement of l*rma embargo, it was said at the White House that the State Depart ment was exploring the whole ques tion. The department amplified this with a statement that there would be ?a* distinct relaxation of "restrictions Kchich have prevented the purchase ?and exportation to Mexico of Ameri ?can aircraft It was also disclosed that the Mexican government has had pend ing requests to buy in the United States arms or other munitions of an undescribed character. Each case, it was explained, would bf decided on its own ,meritjj||^.| The general effect of this modifi cation of Americairpolicy appears tc be that while the arms embargo con tinues in'full force, the Washingtfr government is preparing, as a mattei J of executive policy, to permit the pur chase of airplanes and some other mu | rations by Mexico ip the United State* as was done before tension over the [oil controversy led to a tightening *9 of?the embargo and the. refusal ir specific cases to grant license for e* portation of military planes Bough by the Mexican government j'-lj ??-? l^ome rare'dothes.

Despite the intense public feeling aroused over the kidnapping and killing of the Parker girl, there were no outbreaks today when Hick mas was returned from Pendleton, Ore., where he was captured last week A crowd of about 4,000 persons had gathered about the county building when officers arrived with Hickman. The throng, however, seemed impelled more by curiosity than any intent-to him from the train and was hurried into the building. 'iF Precautions taken by the police left little chance for any possible mob action to uceeed. The train which brought Hickman | from the north was stopped in the downtown district at Jackson and Ala meda streets and he was hustled into a police, car manacled to two detec tives. Convoyed by other police cars, the automobile in which Hickman rode took a runabout route to the county building and the caravan attracted little, attention. | While squads of police kept a lane^ (open in front of the entrance to the county building, the two dectives to whom the youth was shackled made a dash for the doorway, literally drag* ging their prisoner. In' a moment Hickman was safely withitt. ? : I . Within less than two hours after his arrival the youth was brought be fore Superior Judge Carlos Hardy fer arraignment.
