OUT FOR BAD TENS MADE
 OF GOOD TWOS

Bridgeport and neighboring towns are being flooded with '.raised'' Fed eral Reserve Notes. This form Of counterfeit is made by altering the number of a one or two dollar note to read ten.
 The counterfeit can easily be de- tected by noting the position of the portrait on the face of the note. On ones and twos the portrait is on the side; on lives, tens, and twenties the portrait is in the center. This applies only to Federal Reserve notes Ex- amining the numbers in the corner is not always a sure test, as some of the work of altering is very skillfuIly done.
 Several people who have unknow- ingly tried to pass one of these spu- irous bills have found themselves in a very embarrassing position. Any one who has come into possession of one of these notes should immediately notify his bank, as it is a violation of Section 172 of the United States Penal Code to keep counterfeit note.
