Tigers, and it was hard to pick the
winner as both pitchers were working

broke against Burt.

stamps and therefore are watermarked. and
print their pseudo-rarities on these strips.
This has been done with Russian and Bavarian
stamps in great numbers.
"The early stamps issued by Hanover fur
nished another good opportunity for taking
The first issue put out by that city-state had
red mucilage, whereas the stamps of the Sec
ond issue were similar in design by had white
mucilage The counterfeiters take stamps of
the cheap second issue, daub the back side with
raspberry juice and thereby convert them into
the rare ones.
Another way to convert good cheap stamp
into bogus rarity is with pen to raise the
kreuzer stamp Of the first Wiirtemberg issue,
worth $3.50, to the Is kreuzer, which sells
for $40
Many early stamps are worth more used
than unused, because there are few known
cases in which they have actually been sent
through the mails, although great many were
sold at the postoffices. The counterfeiters not
infrequently paste an old unused stamp on a
piece of blue paper to give it the appearance
of genuineness and then cancel it with forged
postmark. One Of the most notorious cases Of
this kind affects the old Baden Landpost stamp
of 1862, which is worth 10 cents unused and Sc
used. One such stamp ON an old envelope was
recently submitted to an expert, and the only
way that he finally figured out that it was a
counterfeit was by comparing the postmarked
date with the postoffce records of the State of
Baden. He found that the letter could not
possibly have been posted On the date given on
che postmark.-

Advertisements of "Rocky Mountain gems"
were rife in those days. Such gems were not
baked in the family oven. They were collec-
tions Of rock, supposed to be from the Rockies,
and sold under the imprint of Denver firm
which guaranteed their genuineness. Well au-
thenticated rumor from the prospecting fra
ternity has it that the "gems" represented un-
holy profits on gravel pit output, but they
found ready sale and doubtless helped along
many a runaway. Nowadays boy CLEANS his
knowledge of prospecting from films in the
colors of nature, Of gems from the collection
of the Sultan Of Nazibir. No CHEAP stuff from
the Rocky Mountains for him
For the thrifty boy there was the ARTILLERY
bank One put cent into field piece and
touched a spring, whereupon the gun was dis
charged and the cent went flying into a hollow
tree, where it reposed until the boy got screw
driver and attacked the tree, releasing the pro-
ceeds and permitting repetition Of the firing
process until the spring broke, which it usu-
ally did about january 1.
Waterbury watch advertisements were fea-
tured in the juvenile magazines. The length
Of time required to wind a Waterbury proved
to be an asset instead Of detriment, Water
bury jokes were prominent in publications and
on the stage. The paid advertisements did not
represent more than small fraction of the ad-
vertising the Waterbury really received.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27

Another easy change is possible in the case
Of the Bavarian yellow / kreuzer stamp Of
1852, which sells for about rs cents. The
action of hydrogen sulphide on this one changes
its color to black, and it then so closely re-
worth $40, that few can tell the fake from the
genuine at first glance.
"The knowledge of color chemistry involved
in these operations has been applied in very
large number of cases. Recently a highly in
genious counterfeit of the Basel pigeon stamp
of 1845, worth $3.50, was discovered. It is so
rare that when comparatively large number
of them appeared in the market collectors be-
came suspicious. They recalled that several
years previously whole sheet of proofs l. e.,
the printers experimental copies, which were
never issued through the postoffice, had been
exhibited at philatelic convention in Italy.
The genuine stamp was printed in three colors,
black crimson and blue, whereas these proofs
were in black, crimson and green. This diff
ferelltiated them. 1t was discovered that
some takers had bought up these proofs,
changed the green ink to blue by chemical
means and sold the counterfeits at fabulous
prices.
"In all countries the postal authorities have
taken many precautions to prevent counter
feiting. One of these has been the use of
water-marked paper But even this has not
discouraged the takers. When they want to
initiate a valuable watermarked stamp they
obtain some of the marginal strips Of blank
paper that come On every sheet OF genuine

paper over them wouldn't be worth the ad-
vertising copy paper it might be written on
to-day.
Christmas not altogether for the grown
ups in those days. The young people had
some share in it, as the advertising pages of
even the dreadnought type Of magazine will
show. That was the of lathes and scroll
saws for boys. The possessor Of a scroll saw
could take cigar box cover and work it
into wonderous lattice work, with deer N
everything on it. Boys with lathes could turn
out their own bats, and some of them made
chess men which would not stand up, and
dice cups for the family pafcheesi board, and
various other necessaries of life. One can
imagine the JOY with which boy of to-day
would greet lathe or scroll saw. On second
thought one can't imagine it.
Brownie rubber stamps were great hit
about that time. The boy of the period
equipped with Brownie rubber stamp outfit
could put indelible dudes and other Brownie
characters on every piece of wallpaper in the
house below the three-foot line. Nowadays
the name Brownie lights no fires of under
standing in the eye of the average boy. He
may think you are trying to talk about the
Browning machine gun, on the good points Of
which he will enlighten you with technical
accuracy that is appalling at a time when war
talk is supposed to be soft pedaled.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-27

on buff paper, with value Of SIS This is
the work Of only minute
"a little more complicated alteration, but
still simple enough process, is the conversion
Of the Thurn and Taxis 4 -groschen stamp of
1862 into the similar stamp of 1852. The only
difference between these two is that the latter
issue on white paper has a value of SO cents,
whereas the earlier stamp, on red-brown
paper, is worth $40. A profit of several thou
sand per cent can be reaped by bleaching the
Austrian brown mercury stamp in sunlight to
the yellow mercury stamp.
'The sunlight changes the brown color to
yellow very quickly and the counterfeiter's
work is extremely hard to detect.
Another popular way of taxing is to take
practically worthless postal card cut the
corner out, scrape off several layers of paper
on the back Of the stamp until it as thin as
single sheet, and then perforate it, l. e., put
notches around the edges. This has been done
with the Bavarian IL crown stamp of 1870,
genuine copy of which is worth $50.
Frequently the cheaper perforated stamps
are changed to the dearer imperforate stamps
by simply cutting off the notches of the former
with scissors. Thus the Hamburg shilling
stamp of 1864, which has value of only So, is
readily converted into an earlier issue (1S59)
of the stamp, which is worth SIS. The stamp
doctors in this case, however, don't profit much
if an expert views their work, because an ex-
perienced philatelist knows that the kind of
canceling mark used on the first issue was not
the same as that used on the second.

an ecstacy Of enjoyment on all faces. If you
didn't care for halnla or pillowdex you had
your choice of such games as Waterloo, Chiv-
airy, Innocents Broad, Barnum's Show and
Yankee Doodle. Never heard of them? That's
queer. According to the advertisements they
were popular not long ago. Well, here's
one you'll remember-Trilby. 1t was adver-
tised as the greatest hit of the age and the
picture on the cover of the box was q genuine
Du Maurier, showing Trilby being hypnotized
by Svengali. The rules of the game have long
ago been swallowed up in mystery
For the Christmas festivities there was ad
vertised something really clever - snow
storm machine. Here is the description from
an advertisement: "a clever little wonder for
church, school parlor entertainment 1t
will make a real, live snowstorm. Comes
folded in small space, everything complete
snow and all. When Santa Claus appears, pull
the snow string and shower him with blind
ing snowstornh. surprise for your friends"
Nowadays people just simply won't go to
any trouble to get snowstorms OF anything
else. If they want a snow effect they get
the operator Of the church motion picture
machine to put on reel filmed in the Arctic.

is being lost The idea of surprising our
friends by pulling string and showering

lector calls perforations and the other has
not These are the simplest Of the distinc
tions. The trick Of the counterfeter is to
buy up lot Of cheap stamps and by certain
alterations convert them into the rare sort.
And they are getting so clever at this bus-
ness over in Berlin that they can turn out
"rarities' from supply of practically worth
less stamps faster than the poor mans mill
could grind out dollars in that old fairy tale,
also invented In Germany, "Why the Sea Is
Salt"

stamp counterfeiting business is a thimbeful

gen sulphide, which is the yellow, pungent
gas that forms in spoiled eggs, and little

workshop is ready to begin operations. Of
course, bank is needed in which to keep
the profits.
Emil Herold, of Munich, writing in the
-"German Days News" of Berlin, describes
the outstanding examples of the counterfeitlng
art which have been discovered in the Berlin
philatelic market. He says:
"The Baden stamp of 1868, which has a
denomination Of kreuzer, is easily converted
into the / kreuzer stamp of 1851 by daubing
it over with coffee The former stamp, printed
in black ink on white paper, with market
value of about 81, is changed by this process
to the latter variety, which Is printed IN black

Also there were sleigh advertisements Con-
slider the following Christmas appeal from
man who was inclined to register rightful pro-
test against those new-fangled speed machines
known as bicycles:

show how the game was played, but everybody
was more keenly interested in 1t than the play

everything in his power to get ahead

He scOwled and scowled. But later
in the week his turn came to smile

THEIR ESTIMATES roo LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight Of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in a box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foo of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer ISL than 40
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.
