young swindlers, they have got IN
their work in this city. The police were
net informed of the matter until II
was too late to take action. The ways
of the working of the young men was
very similar to those used III
other places. They call at the
house and ask to look over car
pet sweepers and wringers. They are
sure to find some trouble and ask the
privilege of taking them to their SHOP
down street. They also ask some au-
vance charges. The unsuspecllhs

If she gives the money, that also goes.
They collect until they have number

mean at being so easily worked that
they will remain silent.
