Rood's appointment. First of all she
has short name. It requires a short
er time to sign short name than a
long one, and thus a part Of the speed
Is gained. Next, Miss Rood is a good
and rapid penman. She writes her
name thus, 81. Rood" just $500 times

The pension checks when received
from Washington are in book form,
several hundred checks to the book,
and these are all printed with the sig
nature of the pension agent. Before
the signature is a blank space for the
signature Of Miss Rood and when COM
pleted the signature reads 81. Rood,

ed to that of Mr.. Wilcox when he
takes charge Of the agency.
Small Chance for Fraud.
1t is difficult indeed, for fraud to
be perpetrated on the pension office.
In numerous instances frauds have
been worked, but the miscreants are
invariably caught and punished. The
forging of pension vouchers and the
obtaining Of money on a pension
~NASSAN oSSAAAo w NC SuSll q ludI-
ter that few hesitate to take the
chance. A number Of cases have been
called to the attention of the federal
court dealing with pension forgeries,
and swift punishment has always re-
suited. AS before stated the treasurer
of the bureau keeps close account of
the signature of every signature clerk
as we'll as the agent of the office and
should the slightest variation appear
on any pay check the discrepancy is
at once traced to it's end with the
wrongdoer caught. There is severe
penalty for person who infringes on
the rights of a veteran.
Not only is the punishment a
hardship on the evildoer, but on the
veteran as we'll, for in number OF in
stances it has been shown that sold
iers with good records have been un-
able to secure pensions for their dis
abilities because of the strictness of
the rules growing out Of impositions
upon the pension department.
