Between
Ourselves

IL hardly seems possible that
such a little stream as the River
Seine should overflow It's bounds
and for Paris to be devastated
By floods and torrents-Ray, love
ly, wicked Paris. Why, II IL were
not for the seriousness of 1t all, the
situation would be POSITIVELY
GBoTESQUE.
This same old, slow going, much
tabled Seine HAS gone ON a ram
page, though, and the very mis-
chief Is to pay.
Speaking of rivers, torrents and
the Ike, how verv like u river is
PUBLIC OPINION; 1t flows along
peacefully enough one day and.
fed by tiny drops Decentralization.
IT Is dashed into fury the next,
NATURE rules the rivers, but
PUBLIC OPINION is largely n
creature of cultivation-of YOUR
cultivation and of OURS.
Take, for example, 80 store.
Things may run along pretty
smoothly for n long time and a
large trade may be worked up;
then let exaggerated advertising,
inferior merchandise and poor
store service creep in and what
have you? One molecule of dis
trust will fraternize with another
molecule, and the first thing you
know the river of PUBLIC OPIN-
ION has risen beyond Its banks
and you are submerged.
Public opinion is an asset or a IL
ability Just as the er h a n t
chooses. WE consider pu bic opin-
ion as our chiefest asset and so does
any other store that's REALLY
SUCCESSFUL.
The above, of course, is with due
apologies to the River Seine.

Sims in which fraud was evident and where
the swindlers have been put out of business
IL would seem that dupes grew on every bush
In his district and that Chicago was the head
center of fraud; but when / visited the Office
of District Attorney Henry l.. Stimson of the
southern district OF New York | found that
the swindlers of little old Manhattan were
keeping up their end In fact they far out
number those of any other city in the country
The New York man who knows most about
these frauds, as he deals with them every day
and dreams of them at night, is Mr.. Walter s.
Mayer. postofTice inspector in charge of the
federal stan whose business it is to discover
hold up and punish people who use the mails
for swindling purposes.
Mayer is a wonderful man. He knows
nearly every fraudulent game there is going
and precisely how it is worked. He knows
how to block schemes by which thousands Of
good easy American dupes would be separated
from their cash
Is II not truly wonderful with hosts OF easy,
good natured, take-a-chance American people
to work upon. the swindlers do not desst from
their operations when they face such awful
penalties? Oh. but we are easy!
What we need in this country-and we
need 1t badly-is a law such they have on
the statute books of England. making the ssu-
ance of false prospectus a msdemeanor
Here, in order to insure a conviction, our fed
eral authorities virtually have TO wait until
some one gets duped before the man who does
the duping can be prosecuted. True, the post
Office people can hold up the duper's mail and
can scare him out of business. but that is very
little satisfaction TO the dupe who wants 10
the swindler punished The fake rubber
companies have been driven from business in
New York, Chicago and elsewhere, but not
until they had taken hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the people on seven.year con-
tracts at so much month. The members OF
every legitimate rubber corporation in the
country, as well as many other persons knew
that the prospectuses of these rubber com.
panies were false; but though millions OF them
were sent out our federal laws could not touch
the swindlers. In England they could have
been hailed into court at once, punished and
their game broken up. but not in this country
For lack of proper legal means of punish
ing these impOstors postoffice inspectors some
times feel impelled TO proceed without war
rant OF law; but though they do this In sorpe
cases they rarely make a mistake, as expert
ence has taught them how to know almost Mt
a glance what are and what are not swindlnE
schemes.
But the day is near at hand when the get.
rich quick concerns will no longer flourish
Still they are doing quite well. thank YOU and
almost as much swindling is being done by
fraudulent enterprises that make promises of

somebody reminded Miller that 26 Broadway
Mrs. McLeans place OF business was the
Standard Oil address, which he accepted as
further proof Of the lady brokers' ability
though just why she preferred to have her
mail sent to box 3142 Station A. was not ev

Satisfied after these cunning precautions
Mr. Miller sent his check for $500 to Mrs
Mclean and by return mail learned that she
had invested his money in Union Pacific at

up the quotations and saw by the closing fig

inclose a check.

broker in the same letter, that there is to be

Mr.. Miller sent in his $500 and as nearly
as he could figure out from the quotations he
was, within few weeks, 200 ahead
Then came the inevitable-a letter from
Mrs. Mclean saying that she regretted very
much to inform her client that she had sold
the Pennsylvania shares and with the pro-
eeeds had bought 5000 Smelters, but that the
stock had gone down and he now owed his
broker $71462.
The wild Mr.. Miller, $1,000 out OF pocket.

no reply. Then he complained TO the postal
authorities and showed them the circular But
they already had copies OF II from other dupes

Improved Cutting 7lowpIpe.

The cutting blowpipe, OF which so
many surprising things have been re
ported, has recently been improved in
France In a way TO render II more
generally useful. Two infiammable
gases must be employed. One is re-
quired to keep the metal at a high
temperature. The other is oxygen To
concentrate action by oxidation along
the line Of the cut. For heating. either
coal gas. acetylene or hydrogen is
employed, but as there is sometimes
difficulty In procuring supply OF
those gases, the new blowpipe is al
ranged to use instead OF the ordinary
gasoline employed by motorists.
