One steamer is reported to have been sunk and four other allied ves- sels were seriously damaged, says the High Command.

To Be Pushed partment, and were designed f(o help people recognize spurious counterfeit bills, always plentiful in metropolitan centers. These dis- plays carry, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 100~ dollar bank notes marked “Gen- uine,” and their counterparts in counterfeit. The way to detect most counter- feit bills, claims the Secret Service, is to examine the sawtooth points of the federal seal, which gener- ally are uneven. If you get hold of a bill that seems phoney, com- pare it with another of the same denomination. Thousands of dol- lars in counterfeit money, includ- ing nickels, dimes and quarters, change hands daily in New York. The approved way to pass off phoney $5 bills is to. work with & confederate. One man carrying several good bills and. one coun- terfeit bill enters a cigar store and buys a package of cigarettes. From the $5 phoney bill he receives $4 and some odd change in genuine currency. He then makes a ren- dezvous with his confederate, turns over the gaod maney, takes another |phoney bill, and the process is re- peated. The “spender” never, under any circumstances, ventures abroad with maore than one phoney note in his pocket. If it is apprehended he can claim ignorance and at once make good the loss. If he wereé caught with more than one counterfeit note he would be taken into custody at once. The slot machines, gum machines, turnstiles and .other gadgets oper- |ated by coins are not slug or counterfeit proof. Buckets of pho- neéy coins are collected each day.’ It is a simple matter to pass off \ fake money in large amounts of | ehiange, especially in a town lke this, where everyone hurries and seldom stops long enough to give more than a glance at change. But here again the one coin ritual is adhered to. Police - tectives who are assigned to coun- terfeit cases say the idea is to pass only one bogus coin to each cus- tomer. If he spends ten cents, and presents a dollar bill, one of the quarters is sure to be counter- feit. As a rule, it looks more gen- juine than imitation dimes and less- | er coins. More than one coin, be- cause of the difference in weight, {is apt to excite suspicion. In a busy mart like New York it is commonplace to go home with a few “queer” nickles in your pock. et. The funny thing is that mil. lions of people take them and pass them along withut ever realizing they have been transmittng coun- terfet money. —_—— SECOND GENERATION, : BM[I!_ORE BOXERS BALTIMORE, Sept. 18.—This city has a second generation of boxers making a success of the fistic pro- fession. Lou Dundee, now in his first year as a pro, is the son of Joe Dundee, who was once world welterweight champion. Young Bob Garcia is the son of a famous fighting father, Mexican Bob Gar- cia, top featherweight in the 1920%s. Twenty years ago George (KO) Chaney was a featherweight with a knockout punch. His nephew, Charley, is following in his foot- steps. T —— WOMEN OF THE MOOSE Meet Saturday 8 p. m. refreshments, Initiation, entertainment.
