WILL EuCIIRE FORGERS.

A Cincinnati Young Woman Has Inyent-
cd scheme that wall Make Fraud Fu-
tiIo-shows up Even Chemicals.
Philadelphia Press: The Inventive tai
ent of Miss Jennie Werthheimer, a Gin
cInnau girl, has won for her fortune,
Three years ago she hit upon a
scheme OF commercial paper which
would enectually exclude all possibil-
lty OF raising amounts on checks, forg-
ing names or otherwise tamperng with
us face value Many days she spent,
many ylglls OF the night, TO perfect the
system
she patented a private check system
for the benefit OF bankers and plan
Of commercial paper, which will make
all attempts at fraud or forgery futile
IN the future. The principal feature Of
her Invention lies In che form and par
tlcular make up OF the drafts or cheek
to be used.
From the top of the note to the name
of the person in favor OF whom lhe
amount Ia made OUT, the paper mater
Ial mas the usual thickness, but from
that polnt or rather Just below the
name tue paper bIHNNa'| 1920
It becomes thin and transparent as US
sue paper. At the same time the paper
preserves its strength and duraoillty, II
is as tough at the tissue end as at the
top, where the paper has the ordinary
thickness. .,,,,
IL any changes have been maze from
the original draft, or II any chemicals
have been used, or In any manner the
note has been tempered with, TINS VIII
be shown Immediately by holding II up
against the light from the other SIDE;
While the paper Is transparent, II stlil
retains the quality that 1t can be Writ
ten upon without blur or blotch.
Miss Werthhelmer sent to thirty dit-
ferent paper manufacturers through
out the United States before she hnaily
secured one who was able to work out
her ideas on the subject
Her safety system stamp, by means
OF which each banker may identity the
correctness OF the amounts called Tor
by the draft, check or note. is a marvel
OF ingenuity and will make the preVen-
tlon OF bank forgery doubly sure.
From the beginning Miss Werthheim.
err placed the invention in the hands OF
leading attorney In this city, and
through his agency she received an Of
fer from a prominent New York firm TO
sell her entire patent TO them for $4,000
spot cash. they also to pay her attor-
ney's fees.
Previous to this offer, few weeks
ago, she received q proposition from a
New York stock company for $4,000
cash and the interest on $4,000 for a
period OF twenty years. at the end of
which the capital Is to be turned over
to her.
Miss Werthhelmer is In quandary
as to which proposition she ought to ac-
cept. She will probably leave for New
York with her attorney on Friday and
settle the matter on the premises.

fractional Differences.
NEW YORK. Nov. 11.-chairman c.
W. Hackett, of the Republican state
committee, has given out the following
statement concerning the organization
OF the New York legislature:
1.-THE Republicans have elected sub
stantlal majority in the next assembly
and will organize that body. The re-
turns as canvassed officially this week
make # certain that the Republican
votes in the next house will exceed the
Democratic by at least eleven.
A Republican will be elected speaker
and Republican ideas OF legislation will
prevail in the legislation OF the session.
The lower house will be In sympathy
with the Republican senate and q Re-
publican governor.
The rumors OF fractional differences
and the claims OF Democrats which have
been circulated with the manifest pur-
pose OF confusing the people Of the stale
as to the political complexion Of the as
sembly, are not worthy OF serious con-
sideratlon.

SECRET OF HER GOOD TABLE.
How One Woman Managed the Fam
lily Appetite.


Mater and paterfamilias with their
four children were visiting a relative
noted throughout the large family circle
as famous housekeeper. She spends
no more money on her table nor time
in kitchen or market than the others, is
not of the anxious, worried sort that
makes one feel as if he had ''eaten the
canary or committed some other crime
every time he Dartakes of her good
things, and yet her visitors find them
selves looking forward with pleasure TO
each coming meal with the bright-faced
Lady BountifGl at the head of the ia
Bile. This was materfamiliaS' first visit
to this oft-quoted housekeeper, and be-
ing wise in her generation and devoid
of petty jealousy, she resolved to find
out the secret of the popularity of her
hostess catering. The weather was sui
try and the atmosphere humid, a COM
bination which at home had caused
them one and all iC lose their appetites,
yet here they were all eating with
relish everything offered and feeling
the stronger for the liberal but not
oVerrich diet. The pater had gone
fishing, and the children were happy in
the barn, for this canny housewife
after 10 years of married life had ac-
complished the desire of her heart, a
country home, near enough the city for
her husband to go and come without I
spending too much time on the road /
The two women were settled down for a /
quiet afternoon on the cool, shady |
veranda, and as they grew confidential
over their sewing they began to COM
pare experiences.
DO tell me how you manager" urged
the visitor. Il dread taking my family
home again, they will be spoiled for the
Did routine. If you spent more. money
than / upon your table, of course my
plea would be We can't afford it, but
It seems you spend even less"
