HOW to Drnw n Chcclk.

The first thing a deposiLor In n
bank should learn is how to draw a
check. for If check Ia improperly
drawn 1t may lead to confusion and
might bring loss to the bank and
annoyance to the depositor. In the
first place the figures should be
plainly made, SO that no question can
arise as to the amount. If figure
Is carclessly made. so that it con-
fuses those who handle the check,
numberless hours OF work may fol-
| low. For Instance, II bank receives
n check for $1.88 with poor "8"
and clerk lists 1t at s1.OS. 1t may
take many hours time to find the
difference, and the entire days work
may have to be gone over. The rule
should he: never make figure that
may be mistaken and never pass one
that Is In doubt-correct 1t by cross
ing out the bad and making good
one alongside.
Second. the words and figures
should agree. The law says that If
the two are different. the written
words govern. but make both care
fully and get them alike.
Third. Begin the writing well to
the left of the writing space and MI
In the unused space with wavy line.
Begin the figures we'll up against the
S sign and make the character 0OlO0
after. but close UP against the fig
ures. Use good black ink and
write firmly, SO that plenty of ink
gets into the fibre OF the paper.
Fourth. Always write your name
exactly as you wrote 1t on the bank
signature card. Mrs. William
Smith" may be the same person rs
Mary V. Smith" but the bank &C
count doesn't stand that way.
Adopt one signature and stick to
it. Do not flourish nor make fancy
signature. Handwriting experts will
tell you that plain. distinctive sig
nature. with no furbelows, Is the
most difficult to forge.
The law OF forgery Is that the
bank is bound to know your sigma
ture, and pays forged instrument
at its peril. The risk is all theirs,
but that is not to say that you should
not help eliminate the chance OF
forgery by taking care that your
checks are properly drawn. II you
are grossly negligent, you might
have to stand the loss yourself. Bet

dye stuffs TO the end that American
manufacturers might BIO encouraged
to embark In an enterprise which
would mean declaration OF indus
trial Independence for this country.
The incident arose In the course of
the debate on the bill retaining the
duty on sugar, when Senator Lodge,
OF Massachusetts. offered an amend
ment providing for increased duties
on dycstuffs.
y Senator Underwood attacked the
proppsal and pointed out that one
reason for the lack of dye
stuff just now-even II there were
ocean transportation for them--is
that German laboratories which GUS
tomarily produce colors are now too
busy In making acids for munitions
to turn out much dye. He foresaw
that after the war there would be
plenty Of German dyes again and he
invoked all the traditions OF Democ-
racy favorable to the foreigner and
hostile to our own people In opposi-
ton to Mr.. Lodges amendment The
Democrats rallied behind Underwood
