Don't Forge That Check! Writing Expert Lives Here
If you've ever contemplated bouncing a bogus check or forging Tyrone Power's name to your favorite photograph, be careful. One of the nation's leading handwriting experts lives right here in Lawrence.
William H. Quakenbush, an examiner of questioned documents and handwriting, has lived in Lawrence for 30 years. Only seven private
in "Kansas Lawyers" and Quakenbush is the only one listed for the middle west. His job is to examine disputed documents such as: doubtful signatures, anonymous letters, disputed wills, raised checks, forged notes, and questioned typewriting. He is now president of the Lawrence Business College.
He handles all of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's handwriting cases, and gives advice to lawyers and private citizens. He has attended court sessions in practically every midwestern state.
A novel case occurred in Coffeyville when it was thought that an allegedly insane man killed a woman. The only evidence was a bit of handwriting on a slip of paper left at the scene of the crime. Mr. Quakenbush was called to analyze the handwriting, and by comparing it with samples of different handwriting, he proved conclusively to the court that the lunatic was the slayer.
One man said he did not write checks on his wife's account, but when Mr. Quakenbush analyzed the checks it was proved beyond doubt that the husband was the culprit.
“Additions which are added to a contract after it has been made can be ascertained by chemical analysis of the ink,” said Mr. Quakenbush. “Inks of identical chemical composition which have been added to a document can be checked by their different ages. Examples of these additions are when a $500 check might be changed to $5,000 and when a 1 might be changed to a 9 or a 4.”
By his long experience, he can check typewriting and tell which kind of typewriter was used and approximately when it was manufactured. His equipment includes chemicals, microscopes, magnifying lenses, and a thorough knowledge of all the literature on handwriting and questionable documents.
Mr. Quakeenbush has had a hard, rocky upward climb. His profession was considered disreputable even 15 years ago, but today due to painstaking and honest work it is recognized as a highly ethical enterprise.
When Mr. Quakenbush was asked what he thought of graphology, the science of depicting personality and character by handwriting, he remarked, "It is true only in so far as it tells the amount of education a person has had by the number of grammatical errors he makes."

Mr. Harold Kuebler, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Region student Y.M.C.A., will address the Haskell Hi-Y Thursday night. Mr. Kuebler will speak Friday at 9 a.m. to the University High school CORE Curriculum group and at 10:30 a.m. to the Junior High school ninth grade.
College Of Emporia Nips

Emporia, Kan., Feb. 23 (U.P.)

3 Teachers To Meeting
Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will take part in a panel discussion on the controversial issue of sectarian education in public schools at the American Association of School Administrators convention in St. Louis Feb. 27 to March 2.
"The question involves the issue of spending the taxpayers' money for religious education," Dr. Smith said. "Many schools have been taking one hour or more a week to instruct the students in religion. In localities of diverging faiths, the friction has become so great that court decisions have been made" he explained.
Dr. Henry P. Smith, associate professor of education, and Dr. E E. Bayles, professor of education, will also attend the convention. Dr. Smith will be chairman of a round table discussion on the evaluation of work in remedial reading, which concerns the assistance of persons whose reading speed is unequal to their ability.
Hoyt Wins Award, But Credits Wife
Arkansas City, Feb. 23 — (U.P.) Raymond Hoyt, a Kansas rancher will receive the Skelly farm award in Chicago Feb. 26 for "superior achievement in agriculture." But Hoyt, gave the credit to his wife Edith. She's been his inspiration, the rancher said.
Hoyt took over a rundown, 3,500- acre southern Kansas ranch six years ago as managing partner. Today the ranch is mainly a beef production project, with around 450,000 pounds of beef and 12,000 pounds of pork marketed annually. A commercial cow herd of 400-500 head is maintained to produce baby beeves.
The rancher's story will be carried over a national (NBC) network farms news show. Hoyt will receive a $100 U.S. bond and a lapel pin.

Mexican Tops US Champs
Mexico City, Mex., Feb. 23—(U.P.) He still had a long way to go for victory, but young Antonio Holguin of Mexico was showing the way to the big-name stars from the United States today as the Mexican National Gold tournament went into its final rounds.
