GRANT CLAIMED TO HAVE
ADEPT IN BUSINESS

Washington, April "a pen and
ink artist who raises one-dollar bills
to ten and twenty dollar bank notes
is being sought by the secret SER
vice detectives. The newest speci,
men of note on the United States Ma
lional bank of Los Angeles, CAL,
was picked up in Chicago and sent
to headquarters today.
Acting Chief Moran, the govern
ment's expert on counterfeit money,
says the bogus bills were originally
one-dollar certificates, washed in a
solution which removed the ink.
The counterfeiter. then proceeds to
make with pen and ink a new note
upon genuine paper which has been
made by the government.
The same process was used by the
counterfeiters of the notorious Ham

THE HANDICAP
OF THE CROUCH

The man who goes through the
world with crouch, who is always
watching for an opportunity to "get
square" with somebody whom he
thinks has done him an injury, is at
great disadvantage, says Orlson
SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine" The desire for revenge acts
in the system like leaven of poison,
Gripping the brain power and induc-
ing unhappiness. No one can dc
his best when he has an unkind feel
ing or resentment in his heart to-
ward his fellow men.
We are always prejudiced against
those who have the reputation OF be-
ing grouchy, or who are of suspic-
ious disposition. These people make
very few friends and are not good
mixers" They often live lonely
and sometimes totally isolated lives
especially as they advance in
years.
No employer wants such people
around him. He knows they are not
business-getters or friend makers;
on the contrary, they frequently
drive away customers. In business,
if people are not treated civilly they
do not take into consideration that
the clerks and those who wait upon
them may be i'll or tired. They ex-
pect courtesy and obliging, kindly
treatment.
Everybody wants to get away from
the cranky, fault-finding, over-crit:~
cal person. We do not like people
who are out of tune with the world
they live in.

WHEN UNCLE SAM
BUS HIS CLOTH

The men of the United States army
come nearer knowing to a certainty
what they are buying in the way OF
cloth than do any other consumers
in the country. When the govern
ment gives out a million-dollar cloth
contract, it sees to it that it gets ma
terial according to specification. The
specific contracts for various sorts OF
cloth are elaborate and go into the
technical side of the matter; the
number of threads to be used to
the yard, the kind of wool to be used
in the manufacture-for the United
States soldier has to be we'll dress
ed in clothes that will stand the
strain of weather and OF work. On
Governors Island, New York City,
there is testing laboratory for
cloth. A specification of the weight
per linear yard of each kind of cloth
is mentioned; each bolt of goods is
weighed, and if it falls short of the
proper weight it is thrown out. Next
the question of wear and tear is
considered and again the specifica-
ton is stated that each special kind
of cloth will stand strain of so
many pounds to the inch filling way.
So after weighing, the next test IS
to cut sample and try in a ma
chine the strength of the cloth. II
it won't stand this test the cloth is
thrown out.
After the cloth has been pronounc-
ed perfect for weight and strength,
the dye tests are made; it must stand
two acid tests for. perspiration and
the material must stand boiling for
ten minutes in a certain soap solu-
ton, showing that it will stand
washing with strong alkalis; and fin
ally comes the weather test, the ma
terial being exposed thirty days on
the roof without changing color ap-
probably. If the cloth has passed
it's examinations successfully, each
yard of each piece of cloth is in
spected, being run over machines for
the purpose, while inspectors watch
for any imperfections in the weave
An eighth of a yard for each imper-
lection is charged to the manufac.
turer.
So when the cloth is finally sent
to the contractor to sbe made into
uniforms, it is known to be of really
good material. Each spool of thread
each button, each lining, each fill
ing used in the clothes of soldiers
has it's own special test.

NOTED JOCKEY DROPS RACING

New York, April 5.-Walter Mil
Ter, the famous American jockey.
has decided to drop racing, and has
gone into business in New York
City. Miller considered the feasible
ity of becoming a trainer and de-
cided against the scheme because he
does not think the condition Of rae
ing today would justify him in de-
voting his time to such pursuit.
Miller has the wherewithal to f.
nance good business enterprise
and he has taken his brother as a
partner.
He was never registering spend
thrift off the race track. Unlike
most of the successful jockeys of
his time, Miller did not come from
either Canada or the west. He is
a New Yorker, born and bred a pro-
duct of the upper East side.
Miller began riding when only
mite of boy and became success
full His first important engagement
was with the Newcastle stable and
under the guidance of Thomas
Welsh. He was the leading jockey
of 1906 and 1907. In the former
year he won 3Ss races and in the
latter 33.
From one end of the country to
the other Miller has ridden race
horses and everywhere he is popular
because he was always polite, oblig-
ing and honest. 1t has been said
of Jimmy Mclaughlin and George
Odom that the breath of scandal was
never raised against them. The
same may be said of Walter Miller.
This young man went abroad a
couple of seasons back because in
creasing weight made it impossible
for him to find employment in this
country. They ride heavier on the
other side than they do in this coun-
try. He was as successful in Europe
as he had been at home, but nature
did not give him much of chance.
He took quick growing streak and
could not get below Jig pounds. To-
day Miller weighs $50 pounds.

WHEN EDISON "ARRIyED"
vention, Kept Employers
From Ruin.

George H. Sanderson, D. D., in the
Columbian Magazine: Thomas Alva
Edison came from Nashville, Tenn,
to New York in the early '70s to
work as electrician in the Offices of
the Franklin, Pacific and Atlantic
and Atlantic and Pacific telegraph
offices, which were located on Broad
street, near Wall. Country boy"
was stamped all over him. He wore
a brownish suit and his hat was a
soft buttermilk; his long lanky hair
stood defiant of brush or comb
With Mr.. Edison were two young
telegraph experts named Wright and
Johnson, the former short man
with deep bass voice and the lat
ter sEghter and taller than Edison
himself They had as an experiment
room a small light wooden cabinet,
fitted up in the office 1t was an
every day occurrence for the three
to rush out to escape from the smoke
and fumes which issued as the result
of their experiments.
Edison was regarded as Com
ing man" in biography, nevertheless.
His first successful invention showed
his quick and facile genius. He was
very deaf and one had to speak quite
loudly to make him hear conversa-
ton; yet his ear detected the faint
est metallic click. One day, in the
midst of business, when brokers'
messages, general kilograms and
press dispatches were on the books,
the company was served with an
Injunction restraining them from
using the Page sounder, which was
controlled by the Western Union.
The keys were silenced.
Edison grinned and sat down at
an instrument. He reached out for
sheet of tin, used in making
manifold copies," and called for a
stout pair Of scissors. From one Of
his pockets--which were always
bullying with wire and other appli-
ances-he took pair of pliers.
First he detached the Page sounder
from the instrument, while an in
tensely interested crowd watched.
Then he cut section of the thin
sheet about three inches wide and
four or five inches in length. He
sliced it at either end, making two
points, through each of which he
bored a hole. He then curved it
lengthwise, doubled up the ends and
fitted them to the instrument pre-
cisely where the Page sounder had
been and tapped the key. The click
ing-a joyful sound-could be heard
all over the room. Hes got it!
He's got it," was the cry and, sure
enough, the response from the other
end of the line, "Did you get meg"
go X! O. K!'
Within an hour every instrument
in the room was equipped with the
improvised sounder and business was
resumed. The injunction was COM
pletely obviated in a few days, un-
der Edison's instructions, the factory
of the company was turning out hun
dreds Of the new model Edison's
patents now number nearly thous-
and. but none of them brought him
greater fame than this

AMERICANS TAKE LEADING
PART IN CONFERENCE
Scientists Begin Efforts Mt Mukden
to Find Bubonic Plague
Cure.

Pekin, April o.-The Chinese au-
rhorities have made elaborate prep
arations for the international medi-
cal conferences to begin at Mukden
20 investigate the plague. Doctors
of many nations are in attendance,
soma American delegates and several
Russian women.
DR.. r. P. Strong, OF the bureau
Of science in the Philippine islands,
will take a leading part, as he has
recently been in Mukden, making
a meteorological study of the dis.
ease anu le'Ieavoring to discover an
effective to%;i. The Indian and 9TH
er preparations have proved unavail-
ing and only masks have been found
effective in preventing infection.
Many Marmots, from which the
disease was first contracted, have
been collected for experiment at the
conference. Although no cure has
yet been found, the doctors feel con-
fdent, from the knowledge they have
already CLEANED, that eventually they
will find curative serum.
At the outbreak of the present
epidemic practically no knowledge
concerning it's treatment existed and
the first methods employed on the
lines generally adopted against bu-
buonic plague proved fatal to sew
eral doctors. This intimidated 9TH
ers, but there were a few brave
men who went among the stricken
people and demonstrated that the
disease could be controlled.
DR.. Kitahato, the noted Japanese
bacteriologist, says that while no VIC
Gin of pneumonia plague RECEIVERS,
this disease is more easily controlled
than bubuonis, as the pneumonia is
contracted only from exhalations Of
expectorations, which can easily be
avoided. The bacilli die quickly in
dry air, therefore, the fear of dust
storms, which have been prevalent
this season, is groundless.
DR.. Kitahato likens the pneumonia
plague to consumption. Although it
Is thousand times quicker in it's
action, it takes exactly the same
channels of transmission. He hopes
the baccilli will be exterminated
when the warm weather drives the
Chinese outdoors, where they can
escape the danger of infection from
breathing the polluted atmosphere.
The railway zones in cities are now
nearly free, but interior towns and
villages still suffer seriously.
Reports from the famine district
say many missionaries are engaged
In special efforts to save children
from starvation. They have estab-
4ished orphanages and have been
gathering together deserted children
and those who have lost their par
ents.
The distributing centers are I'M
able to supply sufficient rice for
food, but are giving out bean cake,
generally used as a fertilizer and
to feed the cattle.
Famine fever is raging and it is
said the famine is worse than in
1906.
