IF YOU ever get into a wreck" he
said, and have time 20 follow out this
suggestion remember this: Always
stand in the aisle. Most of the in
juries that are suffered occur because
the victim is crushed between the
seats. If You are in the aisle you may
be thrown forward and bruised a lit

receiving serious hurts. II isn't always
possible TO get out OF your seat before

CHASING THE C0UNTERFElTER
How the Secret Service Discovers Makers and clrculators of
 Bogus Money.

After a counterfeit is detected a de scription of it is widely circulated
 through the newspapers and publica. tions whose subscribers are chiefly bankers and cashiers, and then the service begins the work of discover ing the makers and circulators of the bogus money. Sometimes the paper used by the counterfeiter may afford the clue which leads to his undoing
 sometimes purchases of the peculiar shade of green ink that is used in the printing of the backs of the notes may be traced, for the legitimate users of these materials are all known in the trade, and outsiders who purchase such things are apt to be remembered by the salesmen who keep in constant touch with the agents of the service. It has happened that information from these sources has led to the discovery of counterfeiting plot before single note has been issued, but this is a rare bit of good fortune. Later on there came the photo-mechanical process where the camera was employed to lay the pattern down on metal plate and etching fluid took the place of the graver. lnasmuch as camera and acid lack individuality, the difficulty of identifying the engraver was increased tremendously. There are thousands of photo-engraving establishments in the country, each one of which is com pletely equipped with the apparatus and materials needed in the making of a counterfeit, and yet you can count on the fingers of one hand the cases where the equipment and technical skill of these places have been used illegitimately. And that l think is a pretty fine tribute to the innate hon esty of the craft; at any rate, it goes long way in sustaining ones faith in human nature.-National Magazine

BROKE ALL RECORDS
AUTOMOBILE DRIVEN AT 11Sa4 MILES AT RATE OF 70
 MILES AN HOUR.
RACE WAS RUN OVER OPEN ROAD
Only One Accident Occurred to Mar the Best Exhibition of Speed Vet Witnessed In This Country Under Same Conditions.

Riverhead, l.. l., Oct. 1.-The smashing of every existing American record for automobile racing on the open road and spill which cost the life of Mechanician James Bates and serious injury to another, marked the running of the Long Island Automo- bile derby. The event was stock car sweepstakes and was run over 22 miles of hitherto untried road at the Eastern extremity of Long Island be- tween Riverhead and Mattituck.
 The casualties were caused by the skidding of the Apperson car driven by Lytle, as it neared an easy bend in the road, two miles west of Mattituck. Lytle and Mechanician Bates had com pleted less than two-thirds of the first lap when the sixty horsepower ma chine, tearing down a slight deeliyity at a rate of 65 miles an hour. suddenly urched to one side into deep sand and overturned.
 Lytle shot clear of the car and land ed twenty feet away on his back. Bates, however, clung to the machine and was crushed under it as it turned tur- tle Both men were unconscious when picked up and it was thought at first that neither had chance for life. Bates never regained consciousness and died an hour later, but Lytle was able to recognize his wife and baby who were hurried to his bedside at the hospital immediately after the ac- cident and tonight there is hope Of his recovery.
 The racing throughout was the fast est ever witnessed in open road con tests in this country. In the class for cars selling at 1.251 to s2,500, five laps 1875 miles, Louis Chevrolet ir Buick, won in one hour and 37 min utes, 36 3-10 seconds, breaking all rec ords for the class. His speed averaged slightly in excess of 70 miles an hour Finishing second 10 Chevrolet in this class, Robert Burman, also driving z Buick, covered the distance in ont hour, 46 minues, 2l5 seconds, or at : rate of 64 miles an hour.

New York, Oct. 1.-The following dispatch has been received by the As sociated Press from Harry Whitney the New Haven hunter, who arrived at st. Johns. N. F., by the schooner Jeanie on his way home
 ~stephenyille Crossing, Newfound land. September 29.
 'so many questions are being asked of me by different papers that I desire 10 make the following statement through the Associated Press: My req sons for not going back to Etah after Dr. Cocks things was that the en. zines of the Jeanie. one of the small est boats that ever went to the Are. tic, were not working satisfactorily and We were depending partly on sails, which later we had to do en- tirely There was no reason why the Jeanie could not have gone back, but not knowing that Dr. Cooks things left with me were Of such importance

Europe and Birth Ratlna,

The birth rate is more than twice as large in Russia as it is in France. In Normandy, where the birth rate IS lowest. the births at times fall as low as . to the ,000 inhabitants in year. But in Russia there are many districts, as in Orenburg, where the births are as high as 60 to the 1000 Ill year. Notwithstanding the enor. nous emigration from Europe in the nineteenth century. its population now Is nearly double what it was at the beginning of the century. That part Of Great Britain occupied by England IS now the most densely peopIed re- zion in Europe The crowding of so many millions together is at last hay ing the effect of diminishing the birth rate. Statistics show that it has de clined one-fourth in the last 2S years. If uiis goes on the English birth rate will soon be as small as that of France. In some parts of Germany. as in Berlin, the birth rate Is on the decline
