Stolen Checks and Counterfeit Coin in Alaska

A form of racketeering has re- gently reached Alaska It has been brought about by war conditions and particularly by the great num- bers of Government checks issued to itinerant defense workers and the racket works:
 A Government check falls into the hands of the wrong person, this person takes it to the near est beer parlor, merchant, bank, or Post Office and cashes it, general ly making small purchase at the time. Months later the person to whom the check was addressed puts in a claim to the government. The Government agents trace the mat ter down and find that the sigma ture on the back of the check was a rank forgery and the person who cashed the check is, therefore, re- SpOnSible for the entire amount of this check.
 
 racket. Every proprietor of a beer paror, every merchant, every bank, and every other person who is asked to cash Government check for man whom he personally does not know should insist on proper identification. If the man is a de- fenSe worker, he should be made to show his work or Identification card. If he is man in uniform, he should be made to show his metal Identification tags which he is required to wear at all times. Re- member that you who cash the check become responsible for the amount thereof if the endorsement is fraud. Undoubtedly already many such frauds have been per- petrated within the Territory, and in due course of time the unfor- tunate person who cashed the check will be asked to make good the amount thereon.
 Strange as it may seem, there is also substantial evidence that counterfeit coins are circulating in Alaska. These coins range all the way from five cent piece to the silver dollar, including the dime. twenty-five cent piece, and the half dollar.
 Make these simple tests with suspected coins:
 l. RING all coins received on a hard surface. Genuine coins have a clear bell-like ring. Counterfeit coins have dull sound
 ?. FEEL all coins. Most counter felt coins have greasy feeling.
 3. COMPARE the reeding The reeding (the corrugated outer edge) of suspected coin should espec- ially be compared with a genuine coin. The ridge on a genuine coin are distinct and evenly spaced. On counterfeit they are poorly spaced and irregular.
 4. CUT the edges of suspected coins. In most eounterfeits, the metal is soft and can easily be cut with knife. Genuine coins are
