COUNTERFEITERS ON
‘COMMERCIAL BASIS’
NEW YORK. July 16.—New York-
ers who had pictured the counterfeiter
a* a "Lone Wolf” preying upon so-
ciety from some secret haunt or who
recalled only th ( e counterfeiters of
Nick Carter literature hidden away^
on some obscure island were given a
jolt today.
Counterfeiting. Joseph A. Palma
local secret service chief disclosed has
been organized like a bootlegging syn-
dicate. “Big business mcthpds pre-
vail in the "industry.”
Counterfeiting now has its standard
trade divisions. They correspond to
the “mdiinfactur’r wholesaler and
retailor” of orthodox business. The
“wholesale price” of “queer” is 30
cents on the dollar of face value.
That is the smallest eut. The other
70 per cent is divided equally between
the “wholesaler” and "retailer.” For
purposes of “retailing” this strange
brand of goods young girls of a flap-
per age and appearance are mv con-
sidered the best bet.
These startling revelations wore
made today as the result of a Brook-
lyn mid resulting in the arrest of
eight ring-leaders of a counterfeiters
gang.
The nr rests brought into the opeq
one of the greatest campaigns against
bogus money manufacturers in the
history of the treasury department.
Flat Shape Balloons —
Uniflex Cord Construction
MILLER discovered that by reducing internal fric.
tion beat balloon tires would haVe still greater
endurance. And that by building the tire in the
flattened shape it takes when under load the tread
would wear down evenly—every bit of rubber in it
would be used—thus giving an astonishing amount
of additions! mileage. The new patented Miller Flat
Shape Unities Cord Balloon has both these features.
Start saving on tires and tubes today—put on
Millers. There’s a dealer near you—look for the
Miller sign.
These two tires were made and ran on the same ear
at the same time and under identical conditions:

EMIR OF KURDISTAN
IS REPORTED ASTRAY
BERLIN July 16.—" His Royal
Highness Prince Mohammed Zcrde-
sheh Ibn Riaabip Emir of Kurdis-
tan” is in jail in Berlin on charges of
being unable to pay a hotel bill of
$75 and trying to raise $lOOO on a
false checkbook from a bank where he
had no account.
The Emir indignantly denies it but
the police arc sure he is the same
Emir who. setting forth from a Lon-
don tailor shop hypnotized fashion-
able society of London and New York
and then became the champion Invol-
untary ocean traveled when both Eng-
land and the United States deported
him and refused to let him in again.
Though his exploits had spread hi”
name and fame throughout the world
he appeared in the eamo resplendent
uniform nnd with the same title but
with a different name in Berlin he
got his picture in the papers and
dazzled the 5 o’clock tea folks at the
fashionable hotels for nearly a week.
Then the law grabbed him.
The most he admits is that ha is
not the Emir himself but the son of
Emir of Kurdistan. He is equipped
with Turkish passports with regular
visas. He said he. came from Paria
on his way to Russia in the interest
of a move to have the soviet authori-
ties interest themselves in the restora-
tion of his throne.
