the old masters.
by their notes ye shall know them"
Is the way the Secret Service para
phrases an old Biblical saying.
So they knew when Adams work got
going well, and some OF his passers
confessed, that he was their man.
At the time Of his first encounter
with the law Adams was in New York
City. He employed girls from the
cabaretS, mattresses, telephone oper-
ators-sny one dissatisfied with job;
any one looking for little easy
money. He had = few society girls,
too in the racket.
Adams first came to light as q coun-
terfeiter in 1890 He began as the
maker Of $40 gold notes and $40 Fed
eral Reserve notes. These showed up
around New York City-the base OF
operations. Adams then had part
ner-Alois Neidermaier-who taught
his pupil many tricks Of the trade.
Secret Service agents bore down on
Neidermaier in Cleveland that year
and put him out Of the picture.
Then the hunt centered on Adams
He was cornered FIRST in April, 1881
With him at the time OF arrest was q
woman socially prominent-So higf
in high society that Secret Service
| agents guard her name very carefully.
Despite this woman's social connec-
tionS, Adams was sentenced and COM
mitted to Atlanta; but the woman
did have political influence. so she
had him transferred from the South
land TO Fort Wadsworth, on Staten
Island.
So near New York. Adams felt at
home again. After his third month
on the island he took French leave
walked out of the detention camp. OBJ
viously the woman had the transfer
made for this specific purpose-to
shorten the Adams sentence. Secret
Service men had another job ahead OF
them.
OUT Of prison, Adams grew more
cautious, but he stepped around
with the society mstron-in select cir
cles.
| He assembled q new counterfeiting
OUTFIT, with which he produced very
deceptive ten-dollar Federal Reserve
note. So clever was this workman
ship and so different from previous
Adams craftsmanship Secret Service
agents were thrown completely off the
! trail for a while.

YOU AND YOUR CAR
AIDED BY RUSSELL
Auto Designers Now Have
Made 1t More Difficult
to Injure Passengers.

Nighttime smash-ups stand a.

New in Safety.
One Of the happy developments oi
the year Is the effort Of the car de-
signers to make 1t more difficult fol
passengers to injure themselves. just
as an army of persons annually suffer
injuries in their homes SO do vast
numbers come to various stages o1
grief from car injuries, which have
nothing whatever to do with collisions
Nothing as yet has been devised to
prevent persons from having theil
fingers mashed in doors, but this year
it will be impossible to fall out OF some
cars because Of the doors accidentally
opening. A welcome touch is the new
instrument panel which has every
thing recessed. including the ignition
key. This, combined with rounded
inside door handles. prevents the pos
sibility of persons cutting or bruisine
themselves on protruSions. Engineers
this year also have eliminated the
hump or tunnel on the flooring SO
that fewer people will be falling over
themselves.

are being operated from intake sue
ton, including brake boosters, wind
shield wipers, clutch assisters and
vacuum controls, 1t Is often the case
that trouble with such devices may
affect the engine. In a recent case the
loss Of power in the two front cylin-
ders was due to leakage at the dia-
phragm Of the fuel pump.

they query. How can any detail ol
engine design serve to increase ef-
ficiency by as much as ten per cent?
It is simple enough when you con.
slider the fact that the most efficient
engines Of the day succeed in utilizing
but ten per cent Of the energy Of the
fuel consumed. With such q wide
margin In which to experiment the
engineers are never surprised wher
they can cut into the 80 per cent ol

am very much impressed by one
particular fact that has been brought
out in the popular test OF "manufac-
turing" blowouts to prove the stabil-
ity of the modern Car under adverse
conditions. Those who do the testing,
expert and forewarned as they are,
make sure not to drive too fast when
inviting q blowout. Rupture of q
front tire is done by means of a dyna-
mite cap electrically fired. Tests show
that if the driver does not oversteer,
and if the car is properly designed,
one or the other front tires can 60 west
suddenly without the driver and his
passengers Immediately following.
But-and this is importsnt-one
recent test called for the blowout to
be made at SO miles per hour. An
extremely high speed for such q test
Is in the range between 90 and IS.
And think how many people exceed
this speed with weak tires OH all four
wheels and light grip on the wheel,
as If nothing could happen!
Now that the engineers are placing
the gauges Of the instrument panel
In such q position that it Is not neces-
ssry for the driver to take his eyes

The Other Fellows Speed.
A glance at the speedometer is such
an easy way to tell how fast I am
travelling I always wish 1 could know
the other fellows speed as accurately.

clues, however. For example, if I

to allow q wider margin for inaccu-
racies. Incidentally, when the ex-
haust of the car ahead emits a puff
of smoke the indications are that its
driver has taken his foot of the ac-
celerator pedal suddenly. That's
always . warning.
Second Out for Savings.
Skillful drivers can save gas in nor
NAL starting by shifting direct from
low gear to high. The remainder
gains nothing by this process and
continues to lose also when they in
clude second gear in the shift. Elm
mating second does away with the
temptation to drive too fast in this
gear before shifting to high, but the
plan does not save fuel unless the
driver knows just when to make the
shift from low to high and is careful
not to "crowd" the engine for un-
necessary acceleration. A shift
around IL miles per hour In modern
low gear is about right.

yersely by changing the caster angle
of the front end. This may be a ser
ious matter if the rear springs are
weak.
One way to lesson the risk of press
ing too hard on the brake pedal In
slippery weather is to adjust the seat
so that you are further away.
When starting away In trafilc where

 FROM INTERIOR

A new 250-ton mill at the Elsa Mine has been completed and began operation on March l, according to Livingston Wernecke, General Man ager of the Treadwell Yukon Mines near Mayo, Y. T., who arrived here from Skagway on the steamer Vic toria
 At present the new mill is mill ing ore from the Silver King Mine, three miles distant from the Elsa. MT Wernecke said, but later will also mill ore from the Hector Mine, also three miles distant. The mill is producing about 20 tons of cencen- trates per day plus 10 to Is tons of crude ore, he stated, and the annual shipment this summer will include between 5000 and 4,OO0 tons of concentrates, althought the sea- son will be very short.
 We have more ore in sight than ever before MT. Wernecke said since we started operations in 1921, and with a reasonable price for silver we are sitting pretty
 Ore from the Mayo mines is shipped by river boat, steamer and train to the Bunker Hill shelter in Kellogg, Idaho From 100 to 125 men are now employed in the Treadweil Yukon mines, MT Wer- necke said
 At the present silver price oi S044S4 the mines are paying a small profit MT. Wernecke said, but not as much as should be expected from the large sum of money in- vested with the risk involved
 George Bacon of Tulsequah, who arrived here recently by plane, is now foreman of the Hector mine, MT. Wernecke said, and Robert J. Boyd, former Alaska Juneau en- ployee. is superintendent at Mayo. In answer to a question regard ing the probability of the Tread well Yukon company purchasing another plane to replace the Bel lanca recently sold to a firm of big game guides in Ketchikan, MT. Wernecke stated that the U. s. Government has taken the entire capacity of the Whitney factory, manufacturers of Wasp motors, and that delivery of new Bellanca plane can not be guaranteed before next fall
 Charles Gropstis, former pilot of the Treadwell Yukon Bellanca plane, is now employed by his com pany in California MT. Wernecke said.

 A Laborite member jumped up to ask, his answer bringing laughter:
 May I ask whether His Majesty has given any guarantee that he is going to get married?"
 Chamberlain made no reply. The match-makers got busy. Who would he marry, if he does marry?
