chief inspector of the post office de-
partment sheds lurid light on the
extensive and profitable "fooling' of
people carried on in this country last
year. In spite of what are generally
regarded as hard times" and the feel
of extreme caution which prevails in
business circles, the postoffice de-
partment put an end to frauds which
had already extracted in one way or
another about seventy-nine million
dollars. Many events in recent years
have gone long way to shake the inn
preston that Americans, though lack
ing in artistic impulse, are shrewd
business people. 1t seems to be only
necessary to hold out some alluring
promise of impossible profits to secure
good living through the mails. Min
ing shafts which were never sunk, ore
which was never brought to the sur
face, enormous plants which are pure
imaginary, form an attraction which
to many good, honest, but dull-minded
people seem irresistible. Any clever
scoundrel who will promise thirty per
cent in six months, or hundred and
twenty per cent in year, has only to
hire a small room, put in desk, and
open his morning mail in order to live
like a millionaire, with limousine in
the street waiting to take him to an
expensive restaurant for Roman
feast. OF course it may be said that
in country in which such colossal
fortunes have been made in such short
time and in which the advance of
prices, with occasional intermissions,
is 30 steady, there is bred an optimistic
temper and a desire to "get rich
quick" which seems to deprive many
| people, temporarily, of their reason.
But SO many swindles have been ex-
posed that even people in the remotest
| part of the country ought now to be on
| guard. "He didn't know it was load
ed" is no longer accepted as defense; ;
and after the wide publicity given to
thieves and scoundrels who publish
alluring advertisements there Is no
