The Treasury has launched a drive through its secret service division to make the American public, particularly retailers and storekeepers, more counterfeit-mindeAs part of the drive, it is aimed to educate the public os to the pictures of Presidents on notes of various denominations. The volume of seizures of counterfeit money is decreasing. Part of the credit seems due to the educational drive of the secret service. Thousands of circulars have been sent to retailers throughout the country, showing them how they could be more alert in delecting counterfeit bills. The circulars give pictures and diagrams of the more dangerous counterfeits that ore r.ov; in circulation. Recently the secret service received seven counterfeit bills from Amsterdam, all of excellent workmanship. In one of these, a $2 bill, the figure was raised to $500. Few Europeans know that Jeffersons picture is on a $2 bill, while the $503 note bears the portrait of McKinis Know youf Presidents, ley. therefore a wise counsel, whether at home or abroad, for those who may be targets for counterfeiters. Of late there has been a good deal of counterfeiting of small coins. The upward curve Beems to reflect the increased use of coin and slot machines. With the vast increase in the number of government checks issued, another Held has been opened to criminals. In various parts of the country, many government checks have been either forged or otherwise cashed by those who had no right to have them. A few months ago a counterfeiting ring in the Middle West printed 1,000 checks that its members intended to cash, but the secret service caught up with them before they liad passed many.

Multiple Washington, schemes ere afoot on Tristan da Cunha. This small island group in tie South Atlantic between Capetown and Buenos Aires is so isolated that for years it has been known as The Lonely Islands. It may scon lose its claim to the title if the British government carries out its present plan to create on the islands a radio transmitting and receiving station," says the RaNational Geographic society. dio tests made recently by British naval experts resulted in astonishingly clear reception. Growing uncertainty in the Mediterranean and the increasing value of England's route may make Tristan da Cunha a key point in imperial defense. In the future, airwaves may bring residents of Tristan da Cunha into daily communication with a world plastically unknown to them. Heretofore, their only contact with the outside world lias been the infrequent visits of a supply steamer. News of the end of the World war didn't reach them until several years after the Armistice. Five Islands in Group. Tristan da Cunha includes Nightingale and Inaccessible islands and two tiny islets all of volcanic origin, largest of the group is Tristan da Cunha,. with an area of about 16 square miles.

Wheat is thriving on Inaccessible and so are TODAY A distinguished Journalist paints a picture of the rhangc in America during the 70 years he has lived. It is a vivid picture of ihc passing of rural America from the provincialism of half a century ago to todays interest in national and world affairs. In a paragraph which describes the first results of that change, he savs: In the late eighties and early nineties American rnltnre was sinking its foundations into our commercial life. We had conquered the continent, blocked out our states, dotted in our cities, laid the rails, strung the wires, and erected a' new civilization. In it the old order of the individual hearthstone as a renter of sweetness and light, the individualistic order which had built America around the home a fortress and a beacon of light that order had begun to pass forever. And again : . . . But the railroad, the electric light, the town onera house, the telephone, the city library, the new, imposing high school building and tbn sewer system had begun to wreck the ancient fortress, were slowly extingnshing the lovely beacon of the home, and were welding us into a communal life the American people. With more of the same kind he brings the vivid word nicture of the changes in rural America down to February of 1938. No matter what we mav think of the changes, whether we consider them good or bad. they are here. Rural America is not provincial, the interests of its people are as wide as the round ' world. Rural America insists on being served on a present-da- y basis, not on the lines of half a century ago.

In the Old Testament there is a mention of hunting with trained birds." Homer, Aristotle and Pliny all speak of the sport. The Chinese and Japanese were passionately devoted to hunting with hawks and falconry is practiced in their countries, as well as in India and in North Africa by natives, relates a correspondent in the New York Times. All medieval European aristocracies played with hooded birds of prey. The sport persisted into modem times in Hungary and in England and sporadically in various other continental countries. Falconry is probably the most highly formalized recreation in the world. Its methods and customs are by immemorial custom rigidly prescribed, and it has a vernacular all its own. How completely this old terminology is lost to the public is illustrated in the very name of the sport; the average person is quite bird, while actually the word merely denotes the female of any of a number of breeds. The female hawk d is about larger and heavier than the male, and is a superior hunter. Persons who may care to take up hawking must do some work on the venerable lexicon pertaining to it, as well as learn how to handle and use the birds. A falcon does not have wings, for example; they are And one must know what sails. haggards and cadgers are, as well as what it means when the hawk towers, stoops, pounces and jouks. one-thir- Honey Bees Will Supply Yucatan With Vinegar East Lansing, Mich. Julio Rendon has returned to his native Yucatan prepared to make vinegar from honey, after conferring at Michigan State college for a week with Dr. F. W. Fabian of the bacteriology department. He intends to breed bees whose honey will be used almost exclusively in manufacturing vinegar which he will offer for sale. In this country, vinegar is produced from cider, Rendon said, but in Yucatan we have no fruits available for making cider. The vinegar made in Yucatan is very poor." Dr. Fabian added that throughout the tropics it was difficult to obtain proper acetic fermentation, and that in Mexico vinegar sold for 90 cents a pint. Much of it is imported from the United States.
