Bennett's Fall Opening Monday and all the Week
Revealing to Omaha Women Folks the Highest Devlopmentof Autumn Millinery Vogue.
The introduction of new Millinery at Bennett's i3
looked upon as the fashion function of Omaha retail
liom. It is a recognized fact among well informed
women that the most beautiful creations are always
here in greatest profusion. This season we go a step
farther and present a showing surpassing in splendor
even our own past successes.
We have gone to the very fountain head of fash
ion for inspiration and most elaborate conceptions.
You'll recognize Paris hats in all their subtle charm
and coquetry so characteristic to the French. Ex
tremes? Yes, some of them and highly practical hats
as well which serve as a stimulous to new thought and
ideas in the designing of less expensive models.
So much for the foreign idea. After all its the
Americanized modifications that strike the most res
ponsive chord in the hearts of our homefolk.'We show
these in a thousand variations in New York patterns
and from our own artists. Close fitted turbans and
large hats have fashion's approval. Our stock mir
rors every type that will be popular. Each hat re
flecting the artistic temperament of our expert de
signers. We trust you can make it convenient to be with
us tomorrow and view what we believe to be the most
metropolitan display of high class millinery tjver
shown in this city.
Charming Afternoon and Evening Dresses
The new silk dresses portray the highest development of the new season's smart
est fashions. They are so charmingly inconspicuous as to bespeak refine
ment in every line. The materials are silk poplins, chiffons and voiles over
silk, soft messalines, etc., in the newest autumnal shades. The chiffon dresses
have the draped hobble tendency, also the narrowed skirt with cuff bottom.
Nearly all have a novelty yoke and three-quarter or -half sleeves. Some are
embroidered in self colors. c jsnr i. C t C A C
The entire line is one of
indescribable beauty

given more than ordinary, attention to qualitv we have managed to keep the
prices down to the same low level that
have been so instrumental in building
up the greatest suit-business in the city

WASHINGTON, 8pt- 17. For moi-e than
a year the Treasury department has con-
templsted a eyatematlsation of the deeigns
for L'nlted Htates notes and gold and sliver
certificates and a reduction in the else of
paper currency. No lets than nineteen mls
cellsneous portrait and historic deslgna ap
pear upon the Issues now current. Theee
serve no useful purpose in identifying the
denomination of notes with the designs they
bear nor have they been aelected according
to any acheme of historical balance. As an
example of existing confusion, the present
dollar silver certificate bears the portraits
nf both Lincoln and Grant. The plan la to
red lire theee nineteen miscellaneous designs
to nine, selecting the portraits with some
referenc te the Importance and position of
Lhelr subjects In American history and
islng the same portrait on one denomina
tion throughout. The faces would be placed
In th center of the note snd would enable
the holder to determine at a glance the
denomination,
for example, the dollar note, which Is la
must common circulation, might bear the
portrait of Washington, as the emancipator
of the country snd the founder of its gov
ernment; tha f! note, thst of snother fa
mous American, and ao on for sll the sep
arate denominations.
Such reclassification la believed to be the
more advisable as It will enable cashiers
of banks snd other expert money handlers
the more readily to delect counterfeits, ex
perience having clesrly shown thst It Is
Impossible for the most expert engrsver to
reproduce an exact facsimile of a portrait,
even if the face has been engraved by him
self. - ,
The class to which the note belonga.
whether gold or silver certificate or United
Stairs note, may readily be determined by
varying the color la which the seal on the
right side of the note snd tbe denomination
numeral on the left are printed. The print
ing of these will continue to be done by a
separate process, hence the distinction sug
gested Involves no additional expense. The
name of the claas will be repeated as msny
times on the face and beck of the note as
at present.

The departntenl might feel warranted In
proceeding to change the designs of the
notes without swatting ths suggestions of
banking Institutions, but a somewhat dif
ferent proposition la presented la the plan
to reduce the else of tha notea to txA.
' Inh.a Tk. J.n.rtm.nl NMVifnlH, that
public convenience is mors or less In
volved in a system to which moat of ths
cash drawers and pocketbocks of the coun
try have been adapted, bene It Is disposed
to welcome criticisms snd suggestions from
bankers and bualreea mea before sttempt
Ing any radical change.
I'nder authority of Secretary MacVeaga.
a special committee of treasury- officials
has been at work tor months upon the
details involved in the change of designs
and the suggested reduction in the si re of
paper currency. This committee has can
vassed with equal candor the advantages of
and the objections to the plan. Discussing
ths details of popular Interest Involved,
Secretary -MacVeagh makes the following
statement:
"I am hopeful that the publie win con
sider favorably, as the Treasury depart
ment is Inclined to consider favorably, the
economies and other advantages '. whch
would result ultimately , from tha use of a
somewhat smaller paper currency. Tbe
present' sis of paper currency Is J 04 Inches
wide by 7. Inches long, and it has been
suggested that our notes be reduced to V
Inches wide by S Inches long, ths same slse
ss the Philippine paper currency, which
has proved an unqualified success and a
treasurer's office, due to the smaller num
ber of notes redeemed because of ths longer
life of tha smaller notes, represent the chief
items In this estimate of 1612,000.
Redaetlea at Keree.
"The temporary reduction of force, so far
as It concerns ths personnel of the Treasury
department, may be disregarded. I think.
for we have already instituted. In adopting
other new processes, the policy of filling
vacancies from the Inside Instead of the
outside. 'The disturbance of our forces
would be very slight, and all employes
dropped would be taken care of quickly. If
not at tha start. It must be borne In mind
that the business of the government Is
growing all the time, and that hundreds of
vacancies occur In the Treasury depart
ment every year, snd we csn ususlly svold
personal hardship In the case of employee
who are displaced by re-employing our own
force as vacancies occur Instead of taking
and. In fact, banks as well as subtressurles
probably could store X per cent more of
tbe new then of the old notes In their
vsults.
"It will not be necessary to changa ths
dimensions of cash drawers, tills, compart
menta, etc., which now hold ths present
else of money as they will hold also cur
rency of the site proposed. This would not
be true, of course. If the suggestions were
to enlarge the slxe of ths notea
Weald Mix Slaes.
"Ths only objection to sdoptlng smaller
notea which seems to me of special Im
portance is that for some time two sixes of
paper money would be in use and bank
tellers snd ths business public . would be
correspondingly Inconvenienced. I think,
however, that this objection could be
largely If not almost wholly overcome by
preparing In advance enough of the new
notes so that they could be exchanged for
slie which, when It Is not brought into In outsiders. We have followed this policy old notes on a fixed date at all subtreas-
i direct comparison with the present note.
snd when not scrutinised, would not. to
; moat people, preewnt a noticeable change.
From the treasury point of view, the pro
j posed reduction would result In an eetl-'
mated saving to tha government of SHltUS
i every ear. This economy would b gained
rrom various sources, For example, we
would print five notes where w print four
in the recent Installation of labor-saving j urles. banks snd other large financial 1n-
methods In tbe bureau of engraving and
printing and other branches of the treasury,
and It has worked well.
"On the popular aide. I am Inclined to
think the change would cause little If any
Inconvenience and would quickly be com
mended by tbe people. The smaller notea
could be carried flat and, being preserved
now. and the increased production of B per la that shape, would not wear from folding
cent more notes with the same labor as at
present, carried through ail ths various
processes of wetting, examining, counting,
drying, numbering, sealing, separating, etc,
would sava nor than ( a year alone.
The' saving in tbe cost of paper would be
almost $90,000, and the decrease In the coat
of plat printing would asnounl to almost
X17S.000. These, with a poeelble reducttoa of
the fore la tha redemption division of the
and .would be more readily handled by
cashiers, tellers and clerks. Ws have care
fully experimented with bank Clerka and
tellers in the city of Washington and learn
that tha smaller notea do not tend to cramp
the hands of persons manipulating them, as
do tb present notes, snd that they are
Just as easily handled and counted as the
old note. The smaller notes could be more
closely packed on ths counter of the banks
stitutions. Preparation for ths Changs. In
cluding ths making of designs snd pistes
and ths printing of note, probably would
require about eighteen months, and within
tnat lima, no doubt, enough new notes
could be printed to make possible an almost
complete chsnge. The people themselves
would aid this change naturally and rapidly
In their desire te secure specimens of ths
new money. I am convinced thst ths criti
cisms of ths proposed iasu are baaed rather
upon considerations of temporary Incon
venience than upon esaentisl and Insur
mountable objections. If this is ths case,
theas objections should hardly be permitted
to stand In ths way of permanent progress
and economy.
"No special legislation Is necessary to en
able the government to reduo the sis of
United States notei and gold snd silver
certificates. In order, however, to effect
a reduction In the slss of national bank
currency without legislation, and at ths
asms time continue the present multipli
city of "designs, It would be necessary to
eliminate the 12.000 plates now in use snd
to engrave as msny more. This could be
done, I presume, only by ths government's
assumption of ths expense of new plates,
and as each plate costs 175, ths total coat
of the new aeries would reach about (900.000.
It would be quite possible, however, to use
the earn uniform engraved platea for all
bsnk notes, and to print later by separate
process the name of the Individual bank
upon ths notes which that bank was to
Issue.
Te Seeare l.ea-tslatlea.
'Another plan would be to secure legis
lative authority for a uniform circulating
note, which would do away with the neces
sity for ths special notes for Individual
banks. Only 200 or 100 pistes would be
needed, and they would cause the banks no
appreciable expenss.
'If It Is decided lo '.e mod el our paper
currency along ' the lines proposed, I am
sure that In doing so we can make great
Improvements In ths quality of the designs
through the elimination of many Inco
herent and meaningless features which now
srs confused without order on most of our
notes, and by seeing to It that the various
features ars arranged mora harminlously
and are drawn with a finer sens of pro
portion and selection than at present. Wbil
the actual engraving of -our present notes
leaves nothing to be desired, ths designing
of the note Indicate little more apprecia
tion for : harmonious composition than' tb
ordinary letter heading of most commercial
firm a -As tbeee designs on the paper cur
rency are reproduced millions of times and
pass through the hands of nearly 1,000,000
people. It U worth hlle for u to take
pains to make them models not merely of
engraving but of design.
! believe the people have no right to be
consulted when the department is cn
templstlng plans like this, which. In their
execu'ion, may sffect every person in ths
countr) snd ths right to feel that no arbl
traiy action will be taken In matters of this
kind. 1 sm Inclined to believe the changes
proposed are for the benflt not only of the
government, but of the people, but the de
partment will welcome from bankers, busi
ness men and ether sny suggestions, whether
in criticism or otherwise, affecting ths plan
we ha In mind."
The advantages to bs expected from ths
proposed uniformity In design and reduc
tion in sixe of the national bank notes as
outlined by Mr. MacVesgh may ba sum
marised as follows:
I. Uniformity with United States note
nd certificates, thus msking sll psptr
Issues Ir. circulation of the same sire. wtli

tion a
1. Reduction in the force of the office of
the comptroller of tbe currency In receiv
ing currency from the B'ireaj nf Knia
ing and Printing lo Its s'llpm-n.s to trie
banks.
1 Reduction In vault space required by
the comptroller of the currency because of
the diminution in the six nf the notes and
ths avoidsnce of th necessity of the comp
troller of the curerncy to carry reserve
supply for each bank, as his sunk would
be common to all bank
