HOW THE CROOKS MAKE
.THEIR COUNTERFEIT MONEY
"No man can make an absolutely perfect
counterfeit bill. It never has been done,
and it never will be done. .There Is some
thing in a brook that will Dot permit him
to make a flawless plate. I think It 1
his conscience." , :
.These are, the words of Charles Ulrtchs.
one of the oldest and best counterfeiters
in the United States, who la responsible
for placing many thousands of dollars In
bad money In circulation, to William P.
Hasen formerly chief of the United
States Secret Service Bureau.
'' Virions studied the problem while he
was working on plates himself, striving
with aU the skill In him to make one that
would deceive the government experts.
He has studied It during the long years
he has passed In prison.
'-H irav faet recognised by an of the beat
counterfeiters that every spurious bill
tails in. some particular. It Is true, that
bad money, has been made that puzsled
the treasury experts, and at times they
have had to call upon the counterfeiters
themselves to point out the Imperfection.
But a flaw has, always been found.
And It la a curious fact that the most
Intelligent men among the makers of
bad money believe with Ulrlchs that it Is
conscience which protects the treasury
of the United States from the attacks of
the counterfeiters.
It is a remarkable view to be taken by
a crook, and the more one thinks about
It the stranger It seems.
Probably it Isn't true. It Is doubtful If
even the best engraver employed by the
United States Bureau of Engraving and
Printlng ; could make two plates exactly
alike. Exact duplication is one of the
Impossible things, and this applies to
counterfeit money aa much as it does to
an ocean greyhound.'
Former Chief Hasen said:
"The most perfect counterfeits that the
famous Brook way ever put out were the
Joint work of himself and Charles Smith.
They . were 6 per cent governments,

made the plate and Brockway did. the

women who have tried It. It is not ex
pensive, for the process consists of
giving the hair a bath qf washing blue.
The blue must not be too strong, but
must be liberally mixed wltti water. If
one bath does not have the effect of
taking all the yellow out of the hair, the
operation should be repeated.
In a day or two after the bath of blue
has been given the yellow will begin to

"We have all seen how the smart gam

as he deftly swept the coppers off the
table and shuffled a stack of checks.

Is an example of the wise man get
ting his fingers burned.
A veteran bank player was about tbe
only one at the table this night, barring
a couple of white check players, whom
we needn't remember. He was 12200 in
the box when 2 o'clock came around. But
this particular dealer waa loser on this
day and he didn't want to give the player
chance to get even. So when he reached
the last turn, he said quietly: This
be the last deal tonight.'
'What's that?-said Peter the player.

I'm In 12200? What chance have 1 got
to get even?'
:Call yourself even,' said the dealer.

that Peter would take the percentage
against himself that goes with a call of
the turn.

his checks. There remained In the box

had lost three times, but the nine had
Won three times. The deal had been go

Nineteen blue checks, one less than a
stack, was Peter's stake. The blues were
$500 a- stack, so he had $475. Me took a
tip from the number of checks be had
and called It ace nine.

card showed an ace he was so nervous
he could hardly shove out the next. It

"Carry your -oxygen supply About with

announcement, "and have fresh ah- al
ways w..n you, whether you be in a sub
marine Morse boat or in a Santos-Du-mont
airship," '
Sensational hyperbole being1 reduced to
sober fact, it Is found, a your readers
will have guessed, that the so-called air
tablet are a practical application of the
properties recently discovered In sodium
peroxide and potassium peroxld when
compressed under certain conditions. Par.
lyn. Ulrlchs was a member of the gang
at that time.
"Thousands upon thousands of dolLarsn
worth ot these bonds were located. There
wasn't a bank In the country that re
fused them at first. When they reached
the United States treasury the officials
knew that there were counterfeits in cir
culation because ot the number of the
.bonds floating about. But they could not
tell the spurious bonds from the genuine.
"Then Chief Brooks of the secret Serv
ice sought out. 'Charley' Ulrlchs. He was
brought on to Washington to separate
the good bonds from the bad. Of course,
there was no advantage to ths counter
feiters then In keeping the secret. They
had floated all the bonds they had made,
and. so great bad the scare become that
it was Impossible to float any bond of
that Issue.
"Ulrlchs picked out the bad bonds with
absolute certainty. He pouted out the
inevitable flaw that every , counterfeit
has. The lower" border of the bad bonds
was Just a shade higher than tbat of the

She used 'onion leaf paper, which Is

them to a tremendous pressure. The

In question are cubes of either of the
two above substances. In atmospheres
rendered unfit to breathe owing to the
reduction of the proportion of oxygen, the
latter gas will be supplied by the perox
ide of sodium or potassium If placed In
contact with water, when the substance
will also simultaneously absorb the car
bonic acid gas thrown off by the lungs. -Thus
the tabloids may, as advertised,
be employed In submarine boats at all
events, though where their usefulness
would come In during balloon Journeys
at high altitude Is not so easily seen.

SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING
So miraculous have become our bread
making methods that we now convert a
barrel of flour, weighing 19S pounds, into
388 loaves of bread weighing one pound
each. That is better than making two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before. Tou are skeptical? Go to the
factory In New Tork and see it done 196
pounds of flour converted into 388 pounds
of bread, nearly two to one. The in
creased weight ia water. After seeing the
process you will ejaculate: "How sim-"
pie! Wonder I did not think of that be
fore!" . .
Hero Is something else about bread tbat
may surprise you: Loaves are now baked
without crusts, to be used In the manu
facture of sandwiches. This Is accom
plished by a steaming pro eels the cook
ing requiring one hour. The bread is very
light and crisp, and remains so for days,
even when exposed to ocean breesea. A
recent test established this fact. One
thousand sandwiches were made for an
excursion party to Chicago, and such as
were not eaten were returned to New
Tork on the fourth day, when they were
found to be quite as fresh aa when sent
out of the hotel preparing them. The
machines for making this crustless. bread
will be sold only- to the national govern
ment and eleemosynary Institutions. Pri
vate enterprises, firms or corporations
can purchase only the right to manufac
ture. New Tork Press.
Tobacco Flavoring.
"A high position of which but little Is
known, except to the trade," observed a
prominent tobacco manufacturer,, "is
what Is known as the 'fiavorer. the man
who is responsible for the flavor of all
the goods made and Who sees o it, that
the flavor ia kept the same year In and
year out, no matter where the .tobacco
that goes In them 'comes" from, or the
conditions under which it has grown.
"Our company had bought up - and
stored away enough tobacco to make up
all our brands of smoking tobaccos and
cigarettes for the4 year, when all of a
sudden our storehouses were destroyed
by fire, and our stock went out Of exist
ence. There was no more tobacco being
raised on similar soil, and being slightly
different as far as seed and stem were
concerned, the flavor was also different.
"Here Is where the fiavorer comes in.
By his art and skill he can make tobac
co that grows on low lands taste and
smell the same as that grown on high
lands. He can make tobacco grown dur
ing a dry season take the same flavor as
that grown during a wet season.
"As may be imagined, there are not
many Who are competent to do the work.
and as a result they range In salaries
from $10 to $15 per day of about one hour's
actual work. They are employed, how
ever, but about nine months in each
year . "Chicago Inter-Ocean, :
