The Bubble Bursts

The arrest of Charles Ponzi on charges Of
having used the mails to defraud brings to an
end hectic operation in which 10000 investors
intrusted between $15,OOO,OOO and $2O,0OOO00
to his keeping with the hope of making As or so
per cent on their investment in few weeks.
So far as the postoffice officials have dis
closed their evidence, it is apparent that Ponzi
never did business in international reply cou-
pons. The entire issue and redemption of inter-
national reply coupons throughout the postal
union for the last six, years would not aggregate
100000, one postoffice official said
One of the amazing revelations is the fact
that Ponzi gathered millions of dollars after
the postoffice department last February warned
the public to refrain from depositing it's money
with him. Either Ponzi's personality or the
weakness of humanity to obtain something for
nothing lured the money from the 10000 per-
sons who were victimized by the adroit manipu~
lator.
After publicity had been given to Ponzi's

THE COLLECTIVE HEART


I like to see person pick flowers.
Of flowers picked than to see a single
flower picked-for the simple reason
that it means combined beauty that
Is going to be distributed in COM
pound variety.
In this connection, am thinking of
the human being, who goes around
picking flowers in the form of good
traits and ideas and fine tendencies
that he sees in other people-applies
them to himself, seeking to enlarge
these things in his own heart-anG
then opens the door and lets them
cut as heritage TO everybody.
The collective heart is akin to the
universal heart of the world.
The man who can walk up any
street of life and actually feel, sym
pathize with and enter into the sads
and glads of whomsoever it may be-
owns a collective heart His life ex
perience is like a circle-there is nc
end to it's helpfulness or to its influ
ence. He it is who, though gentle
and kind to the extreme, is in the
last analysis the strong man.
The chords which string out the
impulses of the human heart are the
most sensitive in the world. And YET
Only that one who has acquired g
collective heart is able to touch music
there.
Try to make some small part of the
life of everyone, your own.

Dinner Stories

An American bride went to live in
that far-away American dependency,
the Philippine Islands, where all house
hold servants are native boys"
One day, just as she had finished
dressing, the boy, entered the room.
"Juan!" she rebuked. you should
never enter my room without knock
ing; you might have found me dress
ing"
ooh, no, sonora" he treasured her,
Il watch through the keyhole! -
Judge.
A quiet man recently took his wife
to call on feminine friend.
The husband sat in a rocker and
smoked while the two women ratified
on at a terrific rate, discussing The
neighbors, fashions, suffrage, gardens
cooking, vacation plans and social
gossip.
After his second cigar the husband
began to yawn. He listened few
minutes more, then he broke up the
meeting with the exclamation:
1T is time to go home now, Edith
you have started to repeat"

many spectators, including clerks,
professional men and proprietors of small bust
nesses, bought notes from victims who stood in
line in front of Ponzi's office. They were con-
WINGED of the soundness of the scheme and hoped
to reap the fortunes others were willing to
pass up.
The whole Ponzi incident teaches in forceful
the impossibility of getting rich over
night. The credulous public lost millions in a
scheme that appealed to their cupdity. Few of
them investigated the proposal. They took
Ponzi's word at full value disregarding the ad-
vice of the postoffice authorities and the oft re-
peated warning of bankers and financiers. When
Ponzi was raking in the millions, sound govern
ment bonds were offered at bargains, but the
intrinsic worth of these securities were unat-
tractive to persons seeking $50 per cent in As
days."
The lust for enormous returns on small in
vestments within a comparatively short time
seems to be Unsuitable here and elsewhere
Swindling schemes of all sorts have engulfed the
savings of the poor and accumulations of the rich
in all chimes and ages. Hardly has the story OF
one gigantic swindle been written before anothe,
one, equally alluring and deceptive, is
launched. And, sad to say, the money to finance
the deal is forthcoming quickly and easily.
Legitimate enterprises are hard hit by these
revelations. A sound proposition offering only
a small return the investment, often goes
begging for capital. Men and women will keer
their money in safe place, ignoring sound in
vestments, until swindler entces it to his cof
| fers, from which it never returns.

Answers to Questions

L. P. M-What is the difference
between lent and loan?-Loan is
properly used as a noun; thus, Il lent
him (or will lend him) the money
'he asked me for loan" The ex-
preston, money to loan," is correct,
to loan being properly noun (verbal)
with the proposition, for, understood
but not expressed. Loan for lend
though common in the United States,
is not in approved use, except some
times in financial language.
H. Slow many Communists in
Russia ?-Obviously a difficult ques'
ton to answer with absolute assur
ance of finality. One authority says
of 1S0,000,000 Russians, only 6OO,O0t
are Communists, but this minority is
able to control the majority.
