out of the bully.
You will never know whether you

you shrink from it and quit, you have

History also recounts that
CorteS and his Spanish soldiers

centuries ago en- route to Hon

Mexico.
There is no immediate cause
for worry, however, that Tule,
as Indians call the tree, will
wither away before the present
generation has passed on. And
even if it should. Tule has a son
some fifty yards away that is
showing signs of maintaining the
family honor. Hijo (son) al

a couple Of hundred years old.
The tree rises 175 feet. The

FOrgers Reap
Huge Harvest

one OF the 'higher-ups' in an organiza-
ton that is conducted in a most bust
ness-like way. First, there is the
banker, who backs the gang with his
wealth and who usually has asso-
GATED with him an expert criminal
lawyer. Then there is the forger him
self, who lives in some secluded out
of-the-way spot where he has his
laboratory. There, with pens and inks
and acids and blotters strewn about
him, he sits and traces signatures or
obliterates writing with such a high
degree Of delicacy and perfection that
even banking experts are deceived
Since the forger is the brains of the
organization, ne must be accorded the
greatest possible protection. Conse-
quently, there are the go-between'
men who hire thieves to rob the mail
boxes and presenters TO put down
the forged checks These men never
come in contact with the forger, and
the result is that the arrest of sub
ordinates seldom leads to his conyic-
ton.
"And" Vulnerable Point.
Before the Introduction Of modern
protective measures. forgery and
alteration had become so simple it
had almost ceased being called an art.
To raise a check from eight to eighty
dollars, all this master criminal had
to do was to add a " TO the e and
then another zero to the numerals. To
raise six to sixty, seven to seventy or
nine to ninety was just as easy, and
to change five 10 fifty or to tack some
other word to fifty, say 100 or 1000.
was equally simple. The word and
has always been a most vulnerable
point of attack, and in many typical
cases Of forgery it has been made to
cali for thousands by writing 'thous'
before it.
For many years the forger had as
his greatest foe the designer Of check
writing machines that shred the
amount in colors and at the same time
impregnate the paper with insoluble
ink. The Introduction of these de-
vices only hampered the crooks plans.
however. for he could still. with the
use of his acids, erase the payee line
and substitute for names the words
cash or bearer And, likewise, he
could change the number and date
lines.
ITO meet this new move of the
check raiser safety paper that could
not be erased or alterated in any way
without detection was needed, and
by a gradual evolution which led
nearer and nearer to perfection the
manufacturers have only recently
been able to produce a safety paper
which has thus far withstood all tests
of the criminal Thus, the check
forger has again Teen defeated, and
check users who today employ the
modern measures Of protection af-
forded-the modern writing machine
as well as the safety paper-have no
reason to fear that their checks will
be altered"
How to Be Ooubly Safe.

against the Expectations of forgers
and raisers. Mr.. Smith suggests the
following measures:
