COULD NOT WARN PUBLIC

We found it difficult to talk with
some people they were so impressed,
and believed so strongly that he was
doing what he said he was doing
One OF PonZi's' attractive features
was the easy manner in which he
talked in millions instead Of in hun
drcds or thousands He simply chan
cd daZZled the people.
He appealed to the gambling spir
it Of the people by the quick action
On the investments. When he starter
ty days, but he paid it In forty-five
ont he promised SO per cent in nine
days, with the result that many re
rcinvcstcd their principal and their
winnings.
"Ponzi did not use the mails as
openly as is often the case in schom
es which came to the attention of
this department. He started business
in small way, depending upon rein
yestmcnts from his customers and
upon the word that would he passed
from one person to another.
DID NOT DARE TO ADVERTISE
Flo did not dare to advertise in tho
newspapers and We did not want to
make 1T known that we were investi
eating his business. for the publici-
ty was just what he needed to attract
attention. When the story Of his ap
e1ations first got into the newspapers
he welcomed it for it gave him a
chance to issue statements and get
before the public. 1t was during tho
past few weeks, while his business
was being exploited by the news
papers that he collected the
greater part of the millions
that trusting persons turned over to
him"
Ponzi, the inspector said, once was
In an exporting business In small
way and 1t probably was while thus
engaged that he learned of the use Of
international reply coupons, possibly
having received them from abroad for
preparing return postage. .......

all just wait till they're in some kim
Of misery before they write letters
and talk about ii?
Here's a mother. a woman not
quite 80. in good health and fairly
good circumstances.
She has a pretty little home with
a front yard and n back yard. and
her dead husbands picture on an

she calls Il "A parlor. She hasn't ar

And in her bedroom she has just
exactly eight pictures Of her son.
Some are framed in leather and
some are framed I'm wood and some
are framed in velvet. One OF them
was taken when son was six months
old. knitted bootees. -crocheted jack
q and all. The next one was taken
OF son lying in a shell with just as
little on as the photographers could
stand.
In the next picture son is ; years
old. in velvet and A lace collar. In
the next he's 10. in knickerbOckers
There's a picture Of him as he look
ed when ne graduated from high
school. and one OF him taken when
he was first engaged 20 be married.
And son is always rather good look
ing in all the pictures; in some OF
them he's really handsome. There's
nothing startling about him in any
OF them. and there's nothing strange
about that Son doesn't seem 20 be
startling himself He's Just an aver
age. everyday, good-uatured easy
going. rather selfish. rather opin
donated, rather successful young
man.
He's married now and has rath

that's what the letters about.
Sons i'm His Place.
Son hasn't been 70 see mother in
two years. No. they haven't quar-

her Once IN a while he calls her

wife want TO take mother out for

either to the apartment or for the

And she hasn't soul In the world
