COUNTERFEITERS in
GERMANY EXPERTS

BERLIN, Dec. 27.-Nowhcre in the
world has cCunterfeiting Of currency
reach such perfection as in Germany. in
the opinion of Director Helmberger Of
the German government printing office.
The statement was made in connection
with an address delivered to correspond
ents and other guests of the Reichsbank
on the occasion of putting into c%ircula-
ton the first of the new 10, 20, so and
100 Reichsmark notes.
The English pound notes." Hslm-
berger observed. (which are usually con-
sidered models of banknote workman
ship. have been counterfeited in Ger
many with an accuracy that is nothing
short of battling. With American notes
the practice Of German forgers has been
that of raising notes of lower denomina-
ton to higher, and trusting to peoples
not knowing foreign currency well to
accept them at their raised figure"
The unstable conditions which pre-
vailed until a year ago. he believes, are
responsible for the high art that has de-
.veiCped in the German forging business.
The government therefore used parti>
cular care in designing the new Reichs-
mark. and believes it has evolved a pro-
duct that cannot be initiated or counter
feited.

MODERN Lear
TAKES SIS JOB
Rich Man Leaves Home
When Sons Object
to His Methods

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec .24.-When
Edward w. Washburn was a young man
just building up his ice business at
Brcckton, Mass, the delight of his life
was to play with his three chubby,
laughing sons and dream of when they
should be men and carry on after he
retired.
Well, they've grown up now, and they
have the business in their own hands.
And the father, 81, beat with toll and
disappointment, is sweeping the floor OF
a grocery here at SIS a~week and learn
ing the lesson of King Lear, how sharp
err than a serpent tooth it is to have
a thankless chill.
We don't care il he never comes
home one OF the sons is quoted as
saying when informed that the father
was here.
Home was jus. spoiled by the quar-
reling and sneering Of those boys
says WasAburn.
They didn't like the way | RAJ the
business. Their mother couldn't do any
thing with them. Leroy AMI Alfred fell
out among themselves and wouldn't
speak. They made me eat in the kit
chen. | couldn't stand. it any longer,
beng treated like a dog. So | just left
the business and everything | had and
came here to start over"
Washburn had only $50 left when
an old Brockton acquaintance recog-
nizei him and told the police. 1t had
been feared he was dead. He had found
work in a grocery and was living at the
Salvation Arry Hotel over in the Bow
e,y at 40 cents a night. He will con-
tinue the new life he has begun.
Il told you it wouldn't do any, good to
tell the boys" he said When Informed
of their answer to the news. | can be
at peace here and make a living. !
don't want to make a fortune again.
Money doesn't make you happy"

NOBILITY MUST PAY,
SOCIALISTS DECLARE
(By The Associated Press.)

Wy LUG AooOIIabTd AC5S.'
PARIS, Dec. 26.-Nobility will be
obliged to pay the state heavily for its
pride, if a Socialist faction in p%arlia-
ment has it's way. If not, some extrem-
lists say titles in France may be abolish
ed entirely.
The Socialists propose the following
scale: To use a h~yphenated name, 500
francs q year, to use the de" that de-
mates noble origin, 200 francs; to
write oneself down a knight will cost
1000 francs; barons will have to pay
5000; a viscount 10000; count, 10000;
marquis, 10000; dukes from $4,000 to
20o, 900, and princes from 100000 to
100000.
The government thus far refuses to
ss9pt this proposition, but has pre-
ed a law abolishing the use of titles
Meantime the holders of titles are
not particularly alarmed, for they re
call that unsuccessful efforts to abolish
titles were made in 1882, 1885, 1902 and
1906.
Prince de Faucigny-Lucigne, one of
the purest blooded of French nobility.
when asked his opinion of the proposed
suppression, replied: What difference
does it make? A title is bought and
sold like a short in the stock market,
when it is not simply assumed or
usurped. There were 10000 genuine
noble families in France when the
Third Republic was born; none have
been created since, but there are now
something like 100000 families with
titles or particles. The title has no
imrortance. it is the man that counts,
and the names of very old French fam
lilies can get along quite well without
titles"
