Almost from the first it is unimagin-

ers OF all sizes and positions, down VAL
leys OF stones: new hills open, sharp
edged, observation-disclosures rock. All
outlooks are on the waste wilderness
crumbling in it's own abandonment: all
contours are knife-edges; the perspec-
tlves are all of angles. In the near open
tracts lie relics and remains, mounds
mountains, n hills that have melted
away: steep lifts on all curves and
on the sky horizon, following and
crossing one another, saw-toothed
ranges. obliquely irdented with sharp
re-entrles, or else acute cones and
rounded ma1nelons: the whole changing

crumbled and split and blown away. II

TO TELL COUNTERFEIT MONEY!
A Simple Comparison Between tho So.
rial Number and Check Letter.
From Popular Mechanics.

From Popular Mechanics.
The hand is quicker than the eye in
detecting fraudulent b~anknotes. The
feel" of the distinctive paper used by
the government is the first warning
signal that the money rendered is bad.
This paper is distinctive not alone be-
cac.se OF the introduction OF silk fiber
in the bill itself. but because of the
treatment the stock receives in print
ing. The silk threads are sometimes
initiated by pen and ink lines, but these
DO not bear close examination.
The engraving has been the greatest
protection, for even photo-engraving
falls to bring out the proper color
values. and retouching by the craving
tool makes the lines heavy n irregu-
ducing the color OF the seal, which
must be washed in with water colors,
the black lines of the engraving show
ing through in counterfeits. The most
dangerous counterfeit is that in which
a genuine bill of lower denomination is
bleached out and a false plate showing
a high denomination placed pom it.
Here is a genuine bankbill. 1t has the
feel" The silk threads are present.
II the engraving is fairly we'll done and
the color of approximate correctness.
1T becomes a dangerous counterfeit.
and bankers are at once warned to be
on the watch for it.
In this connection the .check letter"
often comes into play. All government
notes are printed of one denomination,
four on a sheet and are lettered respec-
lively, A, B. c and d. Each note bears
a treasury number If, when that
number is divided by four there re-
mains one. the check letter should be
A; il two remains, the letter should be
b: III three, then c. and if there is no
remainder. D. liz the result shows
otherwise then the numbering is wrong
and the note is ~ counterfeit. This
rule does not apply to national bank
notes. All denomination from 81 to ST.
Geo have been counterfeited, as well as
all our coins The most usual method
of de~frauding when gold coins are
handled is to saw the coins in half.

tne pope has issued Instructions that
absoiution shall not be granted those
who dance the tango.
When such arguments are advanced
against modern dancing, it's advocates
remind Its assailers of the day when
the waltz was denounced in the same
vigorous terms. They say that stand-
ards OF morality change with the times,
with custom, with the broader view
polht. 1t is for each dancer to decide
what M dance means to her or-to
him-and if it represents sensuality,
not healthful recreation, it becomes q
moral menace.
The modern parents rarely super-
vises the reading or the play going Of
his children. And what is the result ?
A heavy demand for red light novels
by readers still in their teens, a rush
OF unchaperoned young people to plays
depicting the social evil.
1t is high time that American par-
ents pull themselves up with a Jerk.
and decide how far we, as q nation. are
to drift toward the shoals of lax living.
just how much liberty is to be given
children.
The editors Of Pictorial Review be-
much responsibility to the shoulders OF
educators, on public school teachers in
particular. Father is busy making
money; mother is busy conserving it
or scattering it. according to her ma
ture. The question of supply and de-
mand is about ali the parental mind can
swing. The teachers are we'll paid, pro-
gressive. highly moral. The entire edu-
cation of the children may safely be left
in their hands.
l remember how shocked one mother
was when / told her that certain teach
ers in New York had to train little inn
migrant children in habits Of personal
cleanliness, the washing Of their hands.
the brushing and cleaning Of their hair.
same mother thinks that a teacher is
only earning her salary when she in
structs her daughter in sex hygiene, in
cleanliness Of soul.
