MAKING BAD MONEY BOOMS
IN US. AT THIS TIME

WASHINGTON, July 4-The
counlerfei::ng of money has increas-
ed to hitherto unprecedented pro-
portions in the United States and is
causing much concern to the Secret
Service of the Treasury, the Federal
agency which is charged with the
suppression of this species of crime.
OF particular interest is the fact that
for the first time in history, women
have entered the counterfeiting pro-
fession, presenting new problems for
the government experts.
The increase in counterfeiting be-
| gan shortly after the Armistice and
has been growing noticeably since
then. 1t is regarded as a part OF
the phenomena of crime which ev-
cry great war brings in its wake.
A curious effect of the wal while
it was being waged was that it re-
suited in an almost complete sus-
pension Of money counterfeiting In
good reasons for this. First, native
born Americans are seldom found in
the business 1t is a department OF
crime in which foreigners, and espe-
cially southern Europeans, engage.

tary service which obtains in nearly
all European countries, these for
eigners living and counterfeiting in
the United States were called to
their home colors and thereby fore
ed to abandon their profession here.
In the second place, the war upset
the channels of distribution of coun-
| terfeit money and turned the
L tIa,,rl+c Af oil ,,an innI,t1in0 nnJn
terfeiters to other things.
Buc after the war the profession
| came back stronger than ever with
| many recruits. -Four million Anlerl-
cans were under arms. They were
taken by the war from their accus-
toned vocations and pursuits and
put into a life which, despite its
manifold hardships and dangers, was
q life lacking in responsibility. NC
| one in the army had to worry about
earning money enough for his next
meal. 1t came from the government,
as much a matter of course as the
sunrise. Also, the very idea of an
army is the destruction of property
and life. To be sure it is the en-
| emy's property which is to be de-
stroyed but among many youthful
and irresponsible persons the fun
damental idea of contempt for prop
erty rights persists and makes few
| bounds for itself. 1t was natural
| that among soldiers who for a year
| or two had followed this irrespensi-
BILE existence there would be some
| who lacked the force OF character
| to return 20 the drudgery of hard
work. They wanted easy money, sc
counterfeiting as well as other de-
partments of crime received fresh
recruits.

seems to be general that Wilmington
ought to have five senators and ten

Bills in that behalf will probably be
drawn and presented to the Legisla-

Life is so different in France and
the conditions which organized

was that nothing could be done with
out their husbands written consent,
that is they cannot serve as chairman

With the somewhat prevalent inn
pressions here that France did not
always welcome the work done by
Americans during the war, Miss Cor

French women determined that the
Y. W. c. A. work should not die and
theoretically took upon their own

made by Manager Miller of the Rerub-

there for an engagement of two days,

Due to the popularity OF this dim

increased number of teachers and
adequate quarters for both them
and the pupils.
The schools are unquestionably
better in many ways and are
meeting the demands of the
times. Yet the little rural school
house is still worth a thought and
cherished memory. 1t is gone.
There is a hole where ii stood.
That hole, figuratively, is to be
considered.
The little country schoolhouse
was more than a place for the
teaching of children. In it were
held the spelling bees, the church
sociables, the Sunday schools and
all the other social functions Of
the neighborhood. 1t was near to
everybody. The whole neighbor-
hood turned out when there were
'doings" at the schoolhouse. But
with the schoolhouse gone IN
many places there are no more
'doings." The new schoolhousc
has not quite established itself in
he place. 1t is too far-away and
I cannot make the same appeal al
he beginning. The folks have to
assemble in so much large num-
3ers and they come from such
distances that they do not feel Sc
we'll acquainted.
And so, as yet, the hole left by
he little old schoolhouse has not
)een filled up. The automobile

S|MPL|F|ED WAY OF
MAKING DRIP COFFEE

Prohibition has made us realize
more than ever the virtues and
charms OF coffee With this realiza-
ton has come the knowledge that
care in the making of coffee is as
essential as judgement in it's purchase.
kitchen rhyme. as told in the days
Of our, grandmothers. told us that,
Coffee boiled is coffee spoiled" but
people went on boiling thor coffee
and too often quite spelling it! Now
we have learned that the ideal coffee
is the drip coffee. Many people OBJ
ject to the elaborate and expensive
percolator and think that is the only
method of making drip coffee. This
is, however, mistake; all that is
needed to make perfect drip coffee is
an enameled ware coffee pot and q
filter bag made of fine muslin. The
onamcled ware coffee pot should be
scalded out with hot water and set on
the edge of the stove to keen hot; the
filter bag filled with pulverized coffee
should be held over the top and boil
ing water poured through. Put in as
many cups of water as cups of coffee
will he required and add extra half
cup of water to make up for that
taken up by the ground coffee. Serve
at once When the coffee pot is emp
ty, it should be very carefully wash
cd, rinsed and dried. The least tinge
of leftover coffee will spoil the next
brew. An enameled ware coffee pot
is mentioned as essential because its
smooth. porcelain-like surface makes
il ideal for such use. Neither coffee
or tea should ever be served or cook
ed in metal.

THE LITTLE OLD ,sCHooLHousE

The advertisement for sale of a
public, school building here and
there throughout the county, CO.
incident with similar action re-
ported in other counties and
states, suggests that there may be
a conspiracy against the "httle
old schoolhouse." Once it was
the. theme of affectionate song
and story, and a goodly percent
age of the prominent men of this
generation still feel thrill and a
touch.of pride at the mention of it.
But. speaking generally, the
educators have turned against the
little old schoolhouse of the coun-
try. They are saying all sorts OF
things about. it. 1t is not sani-
tary.;, it is not economical; it is
not even educational. they charge.
And they are prevailing. 1t is be-
ing abandoned, torn down. or sold
as Junk. In its place are coming
the fine, modern structures of lar
ger rooms and more of.thenl, with
