WHEN MAKING OUT A CHECK
Take Time Enough to Write Legibly
and Be Sure Amount is Indicated
Clearly in Writing.
Do you know how to write a check
so that it (aninot he successfully tat
pered with? E'xperts declare that
carelessness In that small matter is
responsible for the loss of millions of
dollars annually, the loss falling some
timies on the Individual and sometimes
on the bank. There are mechanical
devices to pr"event the raising of
cheeks, but their use is not general,
partly becautse of the expense, but
maore particularly, probably, beenuse it
adds one tmiore to the multitude of
things to be done.
For those whoII) are daily taking

fers somle valtable advice in the draw
lIngtif o heeks. Ills first suggestion is
to take enouigh time for the process to
he sure of tloilig a goodl joh. In filling
in tilie slmce for the 1iamount in nu
mueorals, write in legible figures, begin
Iing close to the printed dollar iark;
don't leave space for the Insertion of
another figure. Then write the aiount
In words, preferably beginning with a
capiltal, at the left-hand ('1n' of the
line; don't write it so that the amount
stands in the middle of the line; hay.
ing written the amttount properly, draw
a heavy line from the last letter to
the word "Dollars" at the right. As
he says, "block the words inI" so that
additions cannot be easily made either
at the heginning or at the end. When
the wor(s are written clearly and with
an Initial of unmistakable identity, the
check-raiser has little opportunity for
his work.
Another safeguard Mr. Pengelly sug
gests is tie writing of the imtotint of
the check, either in figures or words, in
red ink, above or within the signature
at the bottorn. In his experience he
has found this to be a successful safe
guard against fraitd. But the all-it
portant things are legibility of hand
writing atnd proper location of the
written anounts. D on't he In a hurry
