Took Honesty" Census

Cleveland Moffett, Il New

lected list of so men and so VIC.
men, all apparently addressed to
the wrong parties. Each enve-
lope also carried a return ad.
dress, which would enable the
recipient to send back the
money.
The result was most illumina.
ting. One widely known mil
lionaire was among the men
who "swIped" the dollar. Wo.
men were shown to be more
honest than men, for 33 out of
them returned the money, but
only 81 men did so. Onlv one
saloon-keeper out of five "came
across" and all the groups of
five into which the lists were di-
vlded, none but successful busi-
ness women" made a perfect
score for honesty. Those who
kept the money were:
Womep-Two wives of pros.
pelous citizens. two actresses,
two stenographers, two trained
nurses, one teacher two house.
keepers. two working girls, two
women doctors and two women
lawyers.
Men-Two successful mer-
chants, one rich man, one law
yer, four saloon men, two plum
bers. two aldermen, one news
paper man, one actor, three
doctors and two policemen.
