Look Out for BOGUS Money

People should be on the lookout for
counterfeit silver dollars and five
dollar bills said to be in circulation.
| Under the law a person who KNOWN g
| ly tries to pass counterfeit money is
liable under the United States laws
the same as the counterfeiter. Re
Gently many silver dollars of bogus
make were circulated in this vicinity
and it is said that thousands of bogus
/ So bills are in circulation in Chicago.
| For three weeks the secret service
men have been trying to discover the
source of the new counterfeit bill
which has appeared in Chicago in pro-
| fusion. From fifteen to twenty reach
the offices in the federal building ev-
cry day. The bill is one of the most
lperfect counterfeits in existence. The
lpaper is a good imitation of the gov
| eminent paper and contains the silk
fbres under the surface which have
| been for many years the one feature
which counterfeiters could not imi-
tate. The number of the bill is its
| best Identification. 1t is D-47963872.
1t is believed that between $4,000
and $4,000 in counterfeit bills of this
issue are in circulation in Chicago.
Five Chicago business men are fac
ing arrest on charges of passing coun-
| terfeit money, and the head of a
Chinese mercantile company was TAX
en- into custody as a result of the
failure of banks to stamp the counter
felt five-dollar bills which are flooding
the city. Captain Porter of the fed
eraI secret service blames the banks
and says they have violated the ma
tional banking law, but cannot be
prosecuted because the statute pro-
videS no penalty.

ABOUT DEFECTS
IN PUBLIC SERVICE

No sensible manager of any kind of
public service has any desire to duck
complaints" In fact, the really far
sighted man welcomes useful criticisms
and suggestions. The attitude of the
Wisconsin Telephone Company in such
matters is to analyze any kind of
trouble that is brought to it's atten-
ton and to promptly apply a remedy
Good telephone service is, in the eyes
of the Wisconsin Company's manage
ment, the kind Of service that best suits
telephone users. While the work of an
exchange may be excellent from an en-
gineering point of view, it may seem
faulty to the public in some respect,
There is no way the company can de-
tect many of these apparent defects
unless it is told about them, and if they
are real the company is anxious to
prevent their recurrence.
Apparent defects in service should be
reported to the manager Immediately
when the occasion arises. The volume
of traffic passing through an exchange
hour by hour is so great that it is often
hard to trace = particular call any
length of time after it is made.
