Cases have occurred recently where

postoffice was closed, have sold
checks for small amounts rs q matter
of accommodation, The crook ex-
plains that he wants to mail check
to friend and that it is too late to
obtain a money order. Will the mer-
chant sell him q check for s.? The
merchant, seeing no harm in such ia
vor, writes out check and receives
Ia five dollar bill in return. At the
end of the month the check comes
back raised to $4,000.
The lesson is, NEVER cash checks
for strangers, nor sell them blank
checks. It rarely pays to take such q

Forgery and check-raising collects
a toll Of about 200 million dollars a

Although safety papers for print
ing checks and devices for writing
them have much protective value, they
are not crook-proof as against the
professional who buys or steals the
special papers and writing devices for
his crime.
Even certified checks are not al
ways safe, as certification stamps
may be forged. No kind of special
paper, stamp or writing machine can
eliminate possibilities of forged sign
