precedented proportions in the United
States and is causing much concern
TO the secret service of the treasury,
the federal agency charged with sup
preston of this species of crime. OF
particular interest is the fact that for
the first time in history, women have
entered the counterfeiting profession,
presenting new problems for the gov
eminent experts.
The increase in counterfeiting began
shortly after the armistice and has
been growing noticeably since. 1t is
regarded as part of the phenomena
of crime which every great war brings
in its wake.
War Draft Trimmed Ranks.
A curious effect of the war while 1t
was being waged was that it resulted
in almost complete suspension of
money counterfeiting in the United
States There We're two good reasons
for this. First, native-born Ameri-

which obtains in nearly all European
countries. these foreigners, living and
counterfeiting in the United States,
were called to their home colors and
thereby forced to abandon their pro
fession here. In the second place, the
war upset the channels of distribution
of counterfeit money, and turned the
thoughts of all men, including counter
feiterS, to other things.
But after the war the profession
came back stronger than ever with
many recruits. Four million Ameri-
cans were under arms. They were
taken to the war from their accus-
toned vocations and pursuits and put
into life which. despite its manifold
Eardships and dangers. was life
lacking in responsibility. No one in
the army had to worry about earning
money for his next meal. 1t came

Also, the very idea of an army is
the destruction of property and life.
To be sure, it is the enemy's prop

among many youthful and irresponsi-

contempt for property rights persists
and makes few bounds for itself. II
was natural that among soldiers who
for year or two had followed this ir-

some who lacked the force of char

United States navy" Congress is
inclined to cut far below the safe
" point as viewed by the admins
tration and the breaking up of par
~ lines shows how difficult it is
going to be to steer administration
measures through this congress.
Nothing perhaps is closer to Mr..
Harding's heart than the merchant
marine bill. He regards it as the
greatest opportunity for America
since the Civil war He thinks it
is absolutely related to American
prosperity. The bill will get
through the house all right. but
one is not so sure about passage
by the senate at this session.
Tariff Enthusiasm Dies.
The tariff debate will upset all
calculations. World economic con-
ditions arise again to plague the
administration. The truth is there
is not as much enthusiasm for a
tariff law as at the time the 1920
campaign was in full swing. If,
however, the senate provision for
elasticity is retained, the admins
tration will not regard the tariff
law as so troublesome after all.
With the constantly changing con-
ditions abroad, the president feels
he should have the power to change
the tariffs without further action
by congress. Such authority has
never before been delegated by
congress to the executive Some
constitutional lawyers say it can
not be done without violating the
federal constitution itself. In an
swer to this, the argument is made
that congress can always pass a
law revoking the power, or limiting
it to certain commodities or to GER
tain prescribed rates, and that the
executive in fact becomes the agent
Of congress. The president would
probably give the main job to a
tariff board anyway. In the past,

Woman Commlts snicide

LEVILLE-Leaving the house for work shortly after daybreak to be confronted by the lifeless body of his aged mother dangling from rafteT on the front porch was the horrible sight which greeted the sight Of Steve Bolick, for more than 16 years an chi rloye of the c. x A. Shelter, yester- day morning. Mrs. Bolick apparently had arisen in the night and committed suicide by jumping from chair on the porch after she had fastened the ends of rope around her neck and to the rafteTs.
 Mrs. Bolick, aged 69, had been in poor health for some time, and for the past two days grew steadily worse. Tuesday she refused to eat. It is be- lieved that her failing health prompted the woman to end her sufferings by committing suicide.
 A coroner's jury efnpanelled by Judge Taylor yesterday returned a verdict of death due to suicide while temporarily of unsound mind" Fun eral arrangements were not completed yesterday by Amos and Dugan, who have the body in charge.

The Goldwyn picture ''The Great lover" which comes to the Lyric thea tre, today, is of unusual interest to the public because it is one of the few pictures filmed in which there is a play within a play. This type of pie ture is not often made. Director Frank Lloyd took this exacting task upon him self whe he made The Great Lover and achieved more than satisfactorily results.
 The story centers about Jean Paurel the great lover" played by John Sain- polls, and the principal characters of the splay are operatic singers. The plot is woven around the life of these people in their work, and the crisis occurs during the first and second acts of the opera, Don Giovani' between the three who form the eternal tri- angle.

DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPS
NORTH SIDE TYRONE
Tyrone Observer

Tyrone Observer
One of the most destructive fires
in the history of the city broke out
Thursay night about 1880 in the
rear of the cafe operated by Mr..
Sherman. Just how the fire started
is not known as the proprietor of the
cafe had closed about o'cock and
had gone home. 1t is presumed that
it was caused by the stove or a de-
fective flue. The Photo Play house
was one of the buildings burned, how
ever the main equipment was remov-
ed before the fire spread to it. The
building occupied by u. L. Mathes
was burned with most all the con-
tents. The Cafe was total loss, both
the building and the fixtures. Next
to the west the Collins barber shop
was destroyed, but through the
speedy work of a number of men
the entire fixtures were saved. Mr..
Collins owns these two buildings. The
City Meat Market operated by the
Oldham brothers burned, but part
of the contents were saved. The fur
niture store was almost total loss,
the building burned and few of the
contents were saved.
The Farmers National bank on the
east of the Photoplay house was a
brick structure and the Rexall Drug
store on the west of the furniture
store also being brick, served to keep
the fire confined to the wood struc-
lures. However both of these build
ings were in danger several times and
but for the heroic work of the men,
would have been destroyed. Several
times the roofs caught and brigade
