THE OLD DOMINION FIGHTING

Encouraging signs may be observed
IN Virginia, where, for many years, the

Chinee is not one-haIf as peculiar as
the paying teller in bank In dealing
with either one or the other you must
not believe any thing you hear, nor
more than half you see
you think because YOU walked Up
to that counter and showed in Browns
check for 800. and the paying teller
handed you the cash without even look
ing up BroWl-s account. he must be
good for very much more money than
that"
DO you know that it is quite possible
that Browns balance at that moment
was s1O097?
Here is just about what happened
You walked I'D 10 the window and
showed in Browns check, and the pay
ing teller with a quick Flip turned It over
to see that il was properly indorsed-
II so. that alone made him safe He
next turned to a little box-lil1e arrange
ment below his counter and wrote
Browns name and the amount of his
cheek on a slip Of paper, which seemed,
If YOU saw IL. TO mean that he was
making a memo Of the money he was
payinE out He then took out a bundle
Of bills and asked you what denomina-
lions YOU wanted. and put back that
bundle and got out the right kind and
counted it over again to you. and you
went away
The thing you didn't know was that
when Brown wrote that name and sum
on that little slip there was an alarm
sounded way of in another part Of the
bank, and in front Of the bookkeeper's
desk the name OF Brown and the sum
OF shat check was reproduced by an in
strument called the telsutograph. and
the bookkeeper turned 10 Browns ac-
count and saw he was good and sent
back the MESA ge- Brown o. K for
500. long before the paying teller had
finished his second count of the bills
The result was that you did not
know there was any question in that
