MILLIONS SUNK IN AwILpcATsp

By Huston Thompson Chairman Federal Trade Com
 For several years the Federal Trade Commission. under the powers granted it by congress pre- vent unfair methods of competition. nvesti- gators following up the many complaints that have come in from farmers laborers and other investors who have lost their savings through investments in wildcat schemes
 It has succeeded in putting stop the nefar- ious practices several these impostors In one case the commission found that a company. organ ized ostensibly for the manufacture of automobiles. with an authorized capital stock of s5oooooo had sold stock to the amount of $4723s11 to 54000 holders. Of this nearly s1.200,000 was paid to salesmen as commission. $650o00 retained by the promoter, and s5oo,ooo went for advertising and other purposes.
 The commission finds. however that frequently its order to cease does not issue until tice has occurred.
 Those desiring to evade the order put on a cam pasn under high pressure which results in complete sale of the stocks securities foated before the commission can comply with the procedure pro- vided by law.
 sirahe in order effectively to protect investing public against interruptions enterprisers whose nual harvest of peoples savings has been esti- mated at upwards of half billion dollars.
 In view of conditions, legal authorities recognize the ineptitude the common law max i'm of '1et the buyer beware" principle gen. eral applicability Indeed, it has been suppanted by the civil law rule of let the seller beware."
 This reversal of public opinion is reflected for example, in the enactment of recent pure food and drug laws and regulations for the inspection
 In these legislators have recognized necessity of protecting the public health against evils which all the dangerous because they are predicated the heplessness and ignorance of the individual under conditions which beyond his control.

 What is bad for the consumer is bad for business and what is bad for business bad the country. This a fundamental economic truth.

 Dear Sir. May ' ask you to publish this letter to correct a possible false impression that might he made by . news item in your paper of June [, dealing with the project of several individuals In California to establish an educational institution with faculty and student body composed of Christian Scientists.
 As the heading of your artice mentions the Scientist church In con nection with the project It might be inferred that this action has de- nominationai sanction Such. how ever. Is not the case at all. The en- terprise is a purely private one with which the Christian Science church has no connection and Of which it takes no cognizance-
 Christian Scientists are firm be- lievers In si.- stequateness of the -rblic school system Of the United States as a means of educating chii- dren. not only in the usual school subjects. but in the fundamentals of good American citizenship The de- mocracy and non- sectarianism Of our splendid public schools F&peM Co

TOO MANY SPOUSES

 But the new biEamy wave Is large ly by-product of the war. The war separated families and shuffled hus- bands and wives about in a dangerous way without entirety obilterating their trails. Men were thrown SO vio- lently out of their routine that it seemed as if their old life had ended but, alas, it had not.
 A Happy Double Family
 Such victim of rapid change is Antoine Ruyts, Belgian. who was recently brought into New York court accused of having a French as we'll as a Belgian wife in his home. Would Antoine kindly explain how he came to break the rawg Antoine would.
 When the Germans descended upon Belgium in 1914 Ruyts was dwelling peacefully in Antwerp with his wife. Charlotte. and their five children. The Germans took Antwerp. The fam ly was broken up Ansofne went to a prison camp
 Two years later he escaped and got through the lines inro France. He secured employment In Paris and there made the acquaintance of Mme Marie Pierre Labar. an attractive widow of 3s. The new environment was SO different from the old one in Belgium that it seemed to Antoine as if he had escaped to another planet. He was not In love with the Widow Pierre Labar. but he liked her and she was an excellent manager And Charlotte. he thought. was doubtless dead.
