Money Lost by Public.

1.-THE department has had to deal with
many fraudulent enterprises of such
stupendous proportions as almost to
stagger the imagination. Some effort
has been made to arrive at the amount
of money out of which the public has
been defrauded during certain periods
of time. Upon the arrest by post office
inspectors of violators of the criminal
statute careful inspections of their
books have been made, and the scope of
their operations-thst is. the amount OF
money filched from the public, as shown
by official reports for certain years-is
estimated as follows, 1911. s71,000,000;
1912. $4,000, 900; 1913, $4,000. 900; 1914,
s66. 100000; 1915, s35.50o.0o0; 1915, s1s.-
100000.
these figures, of course, do not in
clude the thousands Of fraudulent opera
tons which were not brought to the at
tention of the department and in which
no arrests were made, but which, II
taken into consideration, would vastly
enlarge these figures.
THE government is making an ear
rest effort to keep the mails clear of
fraudulent schemes. but, as indicated
before. it is a tremendous undertaking,
and if the government had to rely en-
tirely upon its own resources in this
work it would require hundreds of post
office inspectors, more than it now has.
and vast sums of money, more than it
now expends, to do it in an effective
way. With the nation fully advised as
to the relief which the government
offers when information is placed at its
disposal system can be perfected
which will prevent these fraudulent
operations. Your advertising clubs.

Report at End of Fourth Day Of
Campaign for 800, 900 School
Building Fund.

Into all parts of the city and its

they find want. and instead of collecting
funds there they help. referring the cases
to the church. There is humor and
pathos in the days work
a. S. Fennell, jr, captain of team
No. 4, told the organization last night
at it's meeting that he had a card which
carried him to the vicinity of Chesa-
peake Junction. 1t turned out to be a
minister of a colored Baptist Church
AS long as he had gone that far Mi
Fennell said, he thought he would tell
the minister, who gave him fine well
come, the purpose of his visit. The min
lister, according to Mr.. Fennell, sad ne
was very glad to have such visit and
would like to help. but that his was 4

Good in Closing Mails.

"My experience for the last few years
as the official charged with the direct
execution of the statutes prohibiting
the use of the mails leads me to the
conclusion that very much more pubic
good has been accomplished during
that period by the withdrawal of the
use of the mails from this class or
offenders than by criminal proceedings
against them. The first named method
works a prompt destruction OF the
business itself: the latter enables the
promoters to enrich themselves at the
expense of the public while awaiting
trial and even during the period OF
punishment, and offers them many
chances to. avoid conviction on legal
technicalities.
zone case has been called to my at
tention where a mail order swindler was
convicted and sentenced to the peni-
tertiary for a term of years for fraud
ulent use of the mails and continued
to conduct the business while serving
his sentence. through cooperation with
the warden of the penitentiary. In many
cases fines alone are imposed. which In
view of the magnitude of the fraudu-
lent operations prove to be only nomi-
nal and have little or no tendency to
restrain such operations.
Nearly every one of these fraudu-
lent schemes is initiated through ms
leading advertisements. Lax advertis-
ing standards lend the greatest as
sistance to these swindlerS and enable
them to inaugurate and keep in opera
ton many fragrant frauds which a
strict advertising code among the pup
fishers would nip in the bud
