Flash Bill Stunt
By Dr. J. G. F. Holston

THE following makes a good gag for the new flash bins that are on the market. Dig out from the attic one of those money machines that you put away long ago, or invest in a new one.

As an interlude state that you bought one of these machines from a stranger the other day for only one hundred dollars. You have been running the machine more or less ever since and are thinking of putting an electric motor on it.

While pattering, pick up a piece of blank paper and run it through the machine. Out comes a bill. Have a lighted candle on the table. State that the bill is a lot better than the one printed by the government.

As you are examining it by holding it to the candle, unfortunately you get too close and--puff! It is gone. Remark: "Oh. well, easy come, easy go."
