BOOTLEG AND ooUNTERFEITs

EIE big epidemic counterfeiting Is due to prohbi-
n tion. says william J. Flynn. former head of the
Secret Service.
The counterfeit bills originally put out to pay for
smuggled liquor, then get into general circulation.
One evil breeds family OF the children larger

The real shorcoming Of prohibition Is not so much
in the booseg liquor that pedded the quiet but
in the forgery counterfeing. burglary. murder and
general disregard OF law that have come as a by
product of prohibition
We have in Delaware any amount of disregard of the
vosead law that disregard is not peculiar to any

esty the Operatives show a far
greater ratio OF failures. Over-ex-
tension of credits caused about five
times as many failures as in trade

These statistics show that farm

are subject to all the risks incident
to that of any mercantile pursuits,

operative organization will run itself,
nor can success be assured simply
because It is cooperative. Il must
have honest, capable business man

the department show that this fact
has been greatly overlooked by the
farmers.
Two hundred OF the organizations
failed because of lack Of business.
This means that when these 423
companies were formed, assuming
honest, efficient management and
sufficient capital for each, the
chances Of success stood one in favor
to four against. With the odds four
to one against them the farmers are
taking a big gambling risk.

is far different from the producing.

CONGRESS AND GAME BIRDS.

From the New York Tribune.
The defeat OF the migratory bird
bill. largely through the efforts OF
larly regrettable on account OF the
Misrepresentation indulged in by
It's enemies. One of the principal ar
guments against It was the assertion
that 1t was a rich mans measure
and imposed hardshtps on the poor.
AS a matter OF fact, nothing is
further from its real purpose. The
bill was framed to protect the poor
man from the encroachment upon
the remaining hunting grounds by
the rich. It IS we'll known that
every year men OF wealth are buy
ing up the available good hunting
grounds and endeavoring to keep
them for themselves and their
friends. The only hope for the
average hunter is the creation OF
public hunting grounds and the
establishment OF further bird refugees
in order to facilitate the breeding
of game birds. Both these objects
are met IN the bill. To object to the
OF a Federal license OF
81 for the privilege of shooting per-
haps $50 worth OF birds on the
ground that this favors the rich
man Is absurd.
Perhaps as specious is the fear
expressed by Mr.. Mondell OF the aw-
full fate awaiting those who violate
the law. He paints a pathetic pic
ture Of the poor farmer boy Ian
gushing In Jail, after paying a heavy
fine, because by accident" he killed
a migratory bird. The number of
deaths by accident" Of migratory
birds is no greater at the hands of
than of licensed hunters.
In fact, some persons never succeed
in killing any birds even by acct
dent"
One Of the purposes Of this bill is
to protect the birds as well as the
farmers boys. The delay in ite

BY ALL MEANS UNIFORM THEM

From the New York Herald.
The Mayors committee on traffic
recommends that all taxicab drivers
in New York city be required TO wear
a standard cap and a coat with brass
buttons. The proposal will have a
hearing in City Hall next Monday.
1t merits adoption.
Present conditions make the use of
taxicabs in criminal activities too
easy. There is nothing in the dress
of many taxicab drivers to suggest
that they possess a license TO accept
passengers. AS Chief Magistrate
McAdoo points out. there are too
many drivers who wear peaked caps
fashion favored by gunmen. The
small license badge IS not always
visible.
It should be possible for a woman,
particularly. to engage a driver with
some assurance that she is Being
driven by man who holds a public
license. The taxicab driver is not
an empioye of the city. but his job
is TO perform a public sevice, Just
as that is the policeman's Job. and
there is no reason why the taxicab
driver should not be as readily recog-
nizable as the policeman.
There is no blinking the fact that
the taxicabs. without such a protec-
tive measure as the Mayors com
mittee suggests, afford an aid TO the
accomplishment OF robbery. abduc-
-
uniform for drivers is the simplest
and most efficient means of reducing
the risk incurred by passengers. It
should also help the police in regu-
laung taxicabs.

 Corded silk claims its place in the reign of ruffles. Developed into a street costume with bandings of fur on the tier, it is especially lovely. A similar furl band, in narrow width, is used for the3 collar, and fastened at one side with gay, corded cabochon Note the un- usual cuffs, with their row of five silk covered buttonss and the swinging silk tassel which falls from the low waistline at one hip.
 The long line of this street frock gives it what the Frenchwoman calls "chic." When you analyze the silhouette you will find that the chief charm of the style lies in it's line rather than in the trimming. Without the bandings of fur the model might be frock appropriate for affairs at home And it could read-' fly be worn as three-plece suit with the addition of a silk blouse when the jumper is removed
