counterfeit bills had been put in
circulation during the last twelve
months than for many years.
Many spectacular raids occurred
in New York, Chicago. Baltimore
and on the Pacific coast, where
thousands of dollars worth of crisp
spurious bills and about 100
counterfeiters were taken.
The inside stories Of the methods
employed by the Secret Service in
apprehending these criminals, hid.
den away in the dusty files of the
Treasury, are said to read like
pages from the tales of Sherlock
Holmes.
While apparently counterfeiting is
increasing, its ranks being recruited
from the most common variety Of
criminals, the quality of production
is far below the standards Of years
ago, according to old officials Of
the Secret Service.

Did amy one ever think that
there is a weak link in our child
care? We serve him Wholesome,
balanced food, have his teeth and
t0nSiNs examined to conserve his
future health and hon him in
with all sorts of warnings and add
vice, but if he is thrown into
deep water can he save his own
life? can he keep himself ahcat
till help comes? Isn't ability to
swim his greatest safeguard?
There is High School in the
mi3dle West with the slogan:
" Every boy and girl a swimmer"
and from there come boys and
Girl able to save themselves and
oihG,', and at the same time
plcrdidly developed physically.
BIT why take the chance of
waiting till the high school age.
or till we have a "pool" when
natu,a provides so laviShly with
pools, as is tie case here.
A H''nvement is on at Va5hon to
provi e swimming Instructions
for I'll the Hand children at
very low price, taking the var
iouS caches in turn, with a train
ed teacher III charge; cXpGIrienc--
ed in swimming, diving, life say
ing and also a leader in organized
play.
This great opportunity will be
ours if we get behind a program
of organized recreation; but all
must join in to make it possible.
The cost will be less than 25 cts.
a day if a sufficient number join.
This is for all the Island children.
Please Send in names at once to
Mrs. Lincoln, Vashon, or to your
