COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
At Times It Puzzles Experts to Deses
 the Modern Product.


 "Connterfciting has undergone d revolution in the last few years" says the veteran detective.
 "In the old days all fine counter feits had to be engraved by hand" he explains. "If man was found willing to undertake such job, he had to be an artist of the highest order. To finish properly any plate of value for counterfeiting required from ten to fifteen months. Mod ern methods of photo mechanical printing from photographically pre- pared plates has made the work of the secret service harder than ever before. Where before it required months to complete a set of coun- terfeit plates now a ereditable set can be turned eat within a few hours. The notes. too. are better and more dangerous than the finest hand engraved note possibly could be, it matters n't iow skillful the workman r.ay nave been.
 "So!aetimcs it requires the pick ing out of the silk threads from bill and their comparison, both as to length and thickness, with threads from d genuine bill to es tablish ;,le fact that note is really a counterfeit" he continued. "If experts are compelled to go to this lengtt to detect d spurious note it stardS to reason that it virtually IS impossible for the general public to do so.
 "Counterfeit bills, as a rule, are never clean and crisp. Almost in- yariably they have been unused or aged on a plank especially prepared for that purpose. That, of course, makes them all the harder to de- feet. Countcrfeiters also figure on the fact that people generally are not familiar with the characteristics of genuine money and therefore are unable to make any intelligent com parison between the good and the bad. Under all circumstances by far the best test of a bill is to ex- amino the lathe work. This in all genuine notes k perfect and shows what may be called an elastic relief and unbroken line, which cannot De initiated successfully even by touch ing up photomechanical plate with graVer.
 ''As a matter of self protection everybody should acquaint himself with the features of genuine money by leisurely examination of bank notes and thus make himself con- potent to pass upon the average bill with reasonable accuracy.
 "Let a really dangerous bill ap- pear, and no means are spared to run it down to the source. Once the maker is found it seldom is diff cult task to find the reserve stock awaiting favorable time to pass it. That is why it is exceptional for a really good counterfeit to be passed in considerable quantities. ."-Kan sas City Star,

I think it is Warburton who draws a very just distinction be- tween man of true greatness and A mcdiocrist. "If," says he, you want to recommend yourself to the former take care that he quits your society with a good opinion of you. If your object is to please the latter take care that he leaves you with . good opinion of himself."-Lacon.

Still, there is going to be some tall howling if some husky professional athlete is exempted because of the amusement he sells. whereas some narrow-chested accountant is dragged out and sent to the trenches. Athletic amusements are all right, but those left behind can indulge in such them selves without exeinpting the muscled kid from military service.
