 Children are the most familiar with the Rockefeller smi1e.'
 There was the little English boy who ran into his arms as he sat in the Hotel Ormonde the other night.
 The youngster announced he had been i'll and graphically described the ailment to MT Rockefeller as the lat ter sympathetically patted his hand.
 You did not eat any supper, 1 hope" said the f1nancier to the little boy. When the child nodded his head in the affirmative, Rockefeller said re- provingly:
 Now you shouldn't have"
 He gave the youngster one of his dimes. As the boy moved to put the coin into his pocket. the fnancier said with a mock solieitude:

Officials Say Wave Of Counterfeiting Is
 Caused By Poor Work
Criminality Not Necessarily the Cause of Huge Losses Expected Officials Declare, but Place Blame on Tremendous Rush of Business Dur ing War Times

Washington, April S-Clos- ing down the governments big money making machine for an indefinite period, starting Mon day, added fresh fuel today to the undercurrent of rumors and reports that have kept the capital a-whisper for the last week.
 Officials confidently expect that the inventory of the stock and mater ials of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, now being conducted by ex pert accountants and Department of Justice agents, will reveal a short age. That a shortage exists, they are morally certain but the size of it is a matter of question. In official treasury circles it is generally admit ted that shortage of $6OO, 900 ,or $700,G00 is expected, due to bond du- plications, missing notes, etc. In making this estimate however, off, cials haStened to explain that crIm inality is not necessarily involved in the shortage.
 The shortage however, may be much more than the $600,O00 or $70O,0O0 generally anticipated. Ru- mors were afloat today of huge shortages but these of course, were not confirmable, treasury officials were cndGY or comment Ine lI- ventory of the bureau, they said, would be completed within two weeks and it would be possible then to get an exact line on the situation,
 Billions Turned Out.
 Billions of dollars in bonds, treas ury certificates, currency, postage and revenue stamps, and other forms of negotiable paper, have been turned out of the bureau in the last five years. There were nearly $25, ,000,- 900, 900 in Liberty Bonds, alone issued to say nothing of War Savings Stamps has worked night and day some times under terrific pressure, and it is not to be expected, officials said, that this tremendous business could be con ducted without some discrepancies in the accounting system.
 Much of the counterfeiting which has been prevalent since the war is directly traceable to the imperfect work turned out by the bureau under the stress of the last few years, it was said. Delicately engraved plates designed to make only 20 900 impress sions were called upon to make 100,- 900 and more. This resulted in what officials describe as "poor work making the work of counterfeiting easier.
 All Work Stops.
 An average of 800,000 pieces Of government paper or ''sheets'' as it is termed in the bureau, are turned out daily in the big plant. This pro duction will cease on Monday until everything in the Bureau has been checked.

New York Suicide .MayBeL

The local police department have sent a request to the New York police for more specific information regard ing Donald Rice who committed sui eide in New York last Thursday. The description given to the police tallies in practically every respect with that of Charles Bower who formerly lived at 1O7 Gilbert street but who disap- peared nysteriously from that place about three weeks ago.
 The local Bureau of Investigation has been asked by a brother of Bowers, from Utica, to look for him and according to the information they have gIeaned it is believed that Bower and Rice are the same men. Another reason why the police believe he is the same man is that some letters found in his rooms are addressed to Donald Rice. The man found dead in New York was reported as Donald Rice.
 The last hesrd of Bower he left a position in the Union Metallic Cart ridge company to accept a position at the Underwood Typewriter com pany, but inquiry at that place this morning revealed the fact that he had never gone to work there.

 Arnold Bennett takes the lead
 in expressing the modern woman,
 declared Prof. Shepard.
 ''The heroineS of modern ffc-

 said. ''They seem to be going

 definite to express"
 Warning against hasty acceptance of the idea that prohibitory 1egisla- ton can abolish strikes or that com pulsory arbitration is solution o1 the problem of industrial unrest, was sounded at the citizenship school un' der the auspices of the Connecticut League of Women Voters at Trinity College today by Prof. G. A. kleene of Trinity.
 Prof. Kleene did not assume to fo- fer a final solution of the problem o1 so-ca1led industrial courts.
 Let us note nrSt that prOpOSdIS Ol arbitration are always heard in times of excessive irritation and that legislation conceived under such circumstances is likely to be Ill he said.
 Political parties alone will not promote progress in government. " said Prof. H. M. Dadourian. They are not intended to be instruments of progress. The initiative must come from the outside from organiza- tions such as the League of Women Voters which are educating voters in the new ideas of government.
 New standards of character ir government service is the great gain to be hoped for from women voters, said President Ren1sen N. Ogi1by at the closing luncheon of the school.
 Insofar as the woman voter has self-consciousness it is going to be exerted toward rejection of those unfit for leadership in a democracy and the selection of men and women upon whom all may rely and of whom America can be proud"
 Judge Jean Norris was also 8 speaker at the luncheon on 'The Social Aspect of the Courts-'
 Miss Katharine Ludington, regional director of the league for New Eng land presided at the luncheon.

 For Charity Done By Wonoe1, Says Judge Wheeler

Is.
 The Budget committee includes Justice George w. Wheeler. chair man; Lucien T. Warner, Albert E. Lavery, Thomas M. Culltnan and H. Almon Chaffee. secretary. All these men served on the Budget committee for last years drive, with the excep- ton of Albert E. Lavery.
 One of the outstanding results of the work of the past year in f1nanc- ing charity and welfare work from a comon fund instead of through sep arate drives was the increased CO., operation between the twenty agen- cies. In spite of the great demands brought about by the unerhployrne ent situation, the economy made possible by this cooperation and the conse- quent elimination of duplication has been most gratifying. There has been not only a saving of money but of time.
 In commenting upon the work of the Budget committee. Justice Wheeler said:
 Service upon the Budget commit tee is a very unique experience It brings before you all the philan thro- pie agencies in the city, you see their work, you know their aims and you have the great privilege of witness ing some of the good they do.
 After our third meeting the young women who had taken the steno- graphic notes. said to me. and man her. voice and expression indicated entire sincerity, T never knew before how much good the women of Bridge That 5 thought to me. but it Is as true now as it was years ago, when first I, too, became conscious of it's truth.

 His wife, Lusia s. Ciain, who, with her husband, came to this country from Macedonia a few years ago, knew there should be some sort of a forma1ity gone through after giving birth to a son and heir. She sent her husband to find out just what it was. All of this was because she yesterday brought a baby into the world with out going to the trouble of sending for a doctor or enlisting the services of a nurse.
 "One of the neighbors helped my wife and I, and everything is fine and dandy only my wife will feel better when she knows I've followed the law and filled out that blank.' he explain ed, though not in just that language. He hot footed his way to the Welfare building, and in the absence of a physician, signed his name to the oerfifcafe
