The big rObberies of jewelry in the
south of France recently are a re-
hinder of the ubiquity of the modern
criminal. The thieves may have been
local men, but the probability is that
they were importations from England
or Australia or the United States.
Criminals engaged in the big push"
are much-traveled men. The whole
world is their hunting ground. A few
thousand miles are of little moment
with thousands of dollars as the ulti-
mate goal.
Expert jewel thieves, confidence
tricksters, card sharpers, opponents of
the "infallible" betting system-all
at one time or another make tours
OF the world. if necessary, in order
to pick up wealthy victims and by
skillful nursing lull them into a belief
that dishonesty is "a silly rumor in
stead of an irrefragable fact.
1t does seem strange to the millions
OF people who carefully guard their
pennies that men are to be found who
will hand over thousands of dollars to
comparative strangers only to find
when too late that they have been
swindled.
A fool and his money, we are told,
soon part; yet, as matter of fact,
1t is the man who regards himself as
shrewd and careful who is most sought
after by these ingenious intriguers.
The fool is apt to be too suspicious;
