CONTEMPLATING
ATTRIBUTED TO
COURT LENIENCY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Leni-
encv by the courts is partially re-
sponsible for the increased activity
by counterfeiting rings, according
to William j. Moran, chief of the
treasury secret service.
"The sentences imposed on count
crfeiters.' Moran said, care not as
severe as they used to be. The old
line crooks, such as burglars, holdup
men and thieves generally, up to
within five or six years ago, fought
shy Of federal offenses. But that
is not the condition now.'
Since the Nolstead act was enact
ed, Moran believes the counterfeit
ing bands have not been fearful of
the United States courts.
'Counterfeiting today Moran
said, "is about as extensive as |
have ever known it, in volume. The
character of counterfc.ts, however,
is quite poOr.'

SHOP WINDOW LIGHTS
AID AIRCRAFT LANDING

LONDON, Feb. Sit seems prob
able, according to aeronautical ex-
perts, that the thin tubes of pale red
night such as are used in shop win
dows for advertising purposes, may
soon solve the problem of landing
aircraft ON foggy nights.
Experiments have discovered that
this type of light, known as Neon
light because it is made by turning
Neon gas incandescent with elec-
tricity, has the quality of penetrat-
ing fog with astonishing facility.
Not only that, but the depth of the
fog, whereas white lights and search
lights due to the refracting effect
of fog are said to be extremely de-
ceivlng to the pilot us regards the
distance they are below him.
