Franklin on all $100 bills
"A genuine portrait is lifelike,
says the pamphlet" stands out
from its oval background which is
fine screen of regular lines; notice
particularly the eyes. The counter
felt is dull. smudgy OF unnaturally
white; scratchy; background is dark
with irregular and broken lines"
The public is advised always to
compare a suspected bill with a
genuine one of the same type and
denomination. Among the things
to observe carefully in addition to
the portrait, are the following:
Seal: On genuine, sawtooth
points around rim are identical and
sharp. On counterfeit, sawtooth
points are usually different, uneven,
broken off.
Serial numbers: Genuine, dis
tinctive style, firmly and evenly
printed; same color as seal. Coun-
terfeit, style different, poorly print
ed, badly spaced, uneven in appear
ance.
Paper: Genuine, bills are printed
on distinctive paper, containing very
small red and blue silk threads.
Rubbing a bill will not prove
whether it is genuine or counterfeit;
ink will rub of of either.
Remember, not all strangers are
counterfeiters. but all counterfeiters
are likely to be Strangers!"
Detecting Coins.
Six apt reminders are given the
public on how to detect counterfeit
coins:
Il. Know your money!
%. Ring all coins on a hard sur
face. Genuine coins sound clear
and bell-like, counterfeits sound
dull.
"3. Feel all coins; most counterfeit
coins feel greasy.
a. Compare the reeding (the cor
rugated outer edge) Of a suspected
coin with one known to be genuine.
The ridges on genuine coins are dis
tinct and evenly spaced. On coun-
terfeit coins they are poorly spaced
and irregular.
IS. Cut the edge of suspected
coins. Most counterfeits are made
OF soft metal which can be easily cut
with knife.
g. Test suspected silver coins
with acid. Scrape the surface and
apply drop of acid. If bad, the
coin will turn black unless it has a
high silver content. Silver-test acid
solution may be purchased at any
drug store"

Near 20 High
Upfrend in Factory Pay
Rolls Extended in Oct.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-=The up
ward trend of factory pay rolls
which has been in progress since
July, was sharply extended in Oc-
tober, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute. The pay roll
index rose to Hap in October from
100 in September and from 96.5
in July.
Factory pay rolls in October
were not only 1913 per cent higher
than in the corresponding month
last year, but were higher than in
any preceding month since Sep
TENDER, 1929. when the pre-de-
preston peak was reached.
As compared with the 1929 peak
of 1144, the October, 1910. index
showed a negligible reduction.
Thus, for the first time since re-
covery from the depression began
in 1888. pay rolls in October re-
gained the pre-depression level.

actly that and we emphasized ii
