DEALERS IN FAKE ANTIQUES AWAIT TOURIST BUYERS Americans Separated From Money in Villages of England. Bv United Press LONDON, May 13.—Antique furniture fakers are looking forward to the coming of America's army of tourists whom they regard as easy victims. It is well known to the fakers that the average American collector’s eagerness to purchase a seventeenth century clock or bureau, in order to boast of it to Mr. and Mrs. Neighbor on return to the home town, overrules saner judgment. Bugs Have Jobs Chemicals and even wood beetles are resorted to by the skillful copyist of antique furniture to give the article a very ancient appearance ,and it requires a clever expert to distinguish the genuine article. The completed article is planted in a picturesque old village frequented by American tourists. The swindle is usually carried out by three persons—the faker, an innkeeper, and the owner of a pretty thatched roof cottage of the sort that abounds in many of Britain's historic old villages. Visiting these districts, tourists lunch at one of the numerous old inns and usually find an old clock or bureau displayed to attract their attention. Told of Duplicate Mine host of the inn is approached by the tourist and asked regarding the possibility of buying the admired piece. In most cases they receive a polite refusal, but if the innkeeper is in league with a faker he informs the would-be purchaser that a villager possesses a piece which is almost a duplicate of the one desired and might be persuaded to sell. The tourist is taken to the cottage where theduplicate is and inquires

blood la nearly pure, acme trace* of the mixed ancestry can be noticed. The legs of the basset are short, heavily-boned and usually very crooked. For all that he covers the ground like a flash and has been used in Europe In hunting deer, wild boar, wolf, hares, foxes and quail. The fact that he is qualified to take the place of the spaniel makes the basset a particular favorite for hunting. His working qualities make him particularly useful to hunters who can afford only one or two dogs. First introduced as a novelty, the breed now is being sponsored by three of the leading American kennels. _________________ •> Dirt Spoils Milk “The thing that spoils more milk, cream and butter than anything else is just plain dirt that gats into the milk In a hundred different ways,” reports the Oregon Agricultural College.
