MnGNAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS J Washington Children Collect Tons of Old Paper WASHINGTON. -Schoolchildren of tho District of Columbln are carrying on what promises to bo u most successful campaign for Jho conservation of print paper to swell tho plnygrotiml and public park maintenance fund.

At first 40 cents n hundred pounds was offered, and this was soon ndvnnced to B0 cents. Tho Increased cost of print paper lint served to bring nbout u realiza tion of Its value. For n number of years charltublo and missionary sock'lles havo earned substantial Income from tho sale of old newspapers-and inugiv zlnes. These societies havo been given much of the surplus supply of gov ernment documents; In some cases the revenue from this sourco has been sufficient to maintain these Institutions.

The movement to havo tho schoolchildren save old news papers will result In a return to tho District of approximately $1!5,000 If tho Interest is maintained. Ono of the Interesting things -developed by tho campaign Is tho Informa tion that the parents of more than 05 per cent of the schoolchildren buy tho dally newspaper. If an average of one pound of pnper Is brought In ench week by each boy nnd girl In the public schools It menus that nbout 23 long tons of paper will be collected weekly, or several hundred tons during tho courso of tho year.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Stork Has Been Very ''Busy at the Zoological Park 'p HE stork on Its latest visit to the National Zoological park loft a 12-pound 1 baby llama. Sho Is not tho most beautiful child in the world, being un usually gawky-looking on nccount of n length In limbs, which make these members tho mnjor pnrt of her. Father and mother llama camo tc Washington from the Philadelphia zoc several years ago, while the grand parents of tho llttlo ono were capturei? In the Jungles of South America. Old Lady Stork has had a busy fall season at tho zoo. It was only n few days after tho leaves began to colot nnd cover the ground nbout the animal yards with their yellow nnd brown carpet that Increases were noted In soveral of Uio families at tho park. The banner day for the stork was September 27. On that day tho llrst guannco ever born at the local zoo made Its appearance. Tho little gunnncc Is a first cousin of the baby llumn. The South Americans domesticated the guannco nnd the tame anlmnl became known as the llama. Both mother nnd baby guannco 'arc doing well. A bnby elk wns nlso born on September 27, ns wero flvo coypus, which are by far tho most Interesting family In tho park to thoso who admire progressive and precocious children. Tho nppearanco of tho baby coypus was scarcely noted by tho officials of tho zoo before their Industrious mother had theni In tho pond giving them their first lesson In swimming. Zoo officials themselves wero very much amused by tho rather premature action of the mother, nnd expressed surprise nt Uie rapidity with whlcluthe Infant animals took to tho nrt of moving themselves about In the water. Tho coypu Is n species of largo water rodent, which mnkes Its native home In Argentina and Pntngonln. Its fur Is known nt nutria. But these are not all of the Infants. There has been nn interesting addition to tho family of Mr. nnd Mrs. Camel, Baby Camel preferring to tnko her food, however, from n bottlo much the same us human tots, only sho has to havo one of tho keepers or officials of the zoo hold her bottle for her. Then there Is tho now-born Infant of Mr. nnd Mrs. Ynk nnd another child born to Mr. and Mrs. Monkey. And In each case both child and mother arc doing well. IrSHlSISI Government Scrapbook That Is Worth $16,000 THE most vnluublo scrapbook In Washington Is worth $10,000, and yor would not havo to hunt for a curio collector to sell It. Indeed, such o buyer probably would pay much more than that for it. Tho book Is tho property of Uncle Sam, ljut It was compiled by, nnd In the costody of, MnJ. Alfred It. Qualffe. It Is kept in tho same safo over nt the trensury department, where there hangs probably the most valu able picture In the capital. Tho pic ture, which has been there for some time, contains, three perfectly good notes, ono a gold certificate for $10, 000, another silver certificate for $10, 000, nnd n third silver certificate for $5,000. The book Is rcndo up of speci mens of Uncje Sara's paper money, ranging from tho flnt currency of Civil war days down to tho present time, nnd contains every sort of paper currency Issued by this government slcco the sixties. This flat money would bo worth nothing If Uncle Sara weren't nn honest old gentleman who always pays up his I. O. U.'s, for It has no gold or silver back of It. It simply stated that tho United States promises to pay so many dollars, and tho United States, of course, paid up. But In this same vault nro millions of dollars of gold and silver, with which Uncle Sam stands ready to redeem nil the pnper money ho now Issues which stoles whether It. Is payable in silver or In gold. Major Quulffe, eighty years old, has been vault clerk at tho treasury for foioro than 30 years. Millions, oven billions, lgng since censed to trouble him.
