Washington, ID. C., April 27.-
Beware Of the intense drive Of the
fake oil stock promoters to sell you
stock in worthless companies" is
the silent warning which comes to
light in postal returns. announced
by Postmaster-G General Harry S.
New.
No better barometer OF return
OF prosperity can be had than the
figures which show that outgoing
mail from Fort Worth. Texas, is As
per cent heavier than last year.
Postmaster New ascribes the in
creased postal business to oil stock
literature.
Slick promoters in Texas are now
breaking all records in the creation
and distribution Of worthless oil
stocks.
II is q fact that the boom in mails
from the southern oil fields is not
due to startling new oil discoveries.
Instead-it 10 to the return of pros

waste postage when return mails
fail to bring in checks.
Easy to Prosecute-
Hard to Convict.
The warning here is to the mex
perienced investor. Do not spend
hard-earned money for worthless oil
stock-no matter how legal and
substantial" the company may
represent itself to be.
Theoretically the Federal govern
ment can stop these fake promoters
from using the mail to defraud. but
II doesn't work out. They are easy
to prosecute. but hard to convict
for the reason that most OF the pro-
moters are old-timers at the game.
and their literature is worded to

sible to show the circle whereby the
money gets back to the promoter

ALL sTARs- WIN IN
PRELIMINARY GAME

Curtain raisers are likely to be
tame affairs particularly in basket
ball. But not SO last Thursday
night, when the "All Stars" and
IAN Americans" met In mortal (al-
most) combat in the preliminartes
Of the evening.
The two teams. composed OF
basketball stars of former days, put
up some fast basketball.
Owing to the fact that most of
the players had been on the floor
but a few times this season the
game was played In quarter periods.
Inasmuch as both teams went In to
win and fought for the ball every
minute OF the game, the few
moments rest between quarters were
as rain to parched tongues.
The "All Stars" won to the tune
Of 80 to 81.

You can talk about your luncheons
You can brag about your eats,
But the Lions Thursday blowouts
Are a rare and poppy treat.
And the loon repast of February
1, was nc exception to the rule.
A goodly number of Cubs, many
of whom had guests, set down with
a determination to eat everything
in sight, and in spite Of the fact
that Cub Hunt, our long winded
song leader. tried to see how many
songs he could squeeze in during
soup, the Cubs were just as de-
termined not to miss anything, and
the writer Is still puzzled as to how
some of them didn't.

But when Lioness Bible came
marching in n half hour late. the
matter was promptly called to the
Cub Presidents attention. and a
dime demanded, ~whereupon an argu-
ment ensued.
The Cub President could not see
any connection in the matter and de-
clared 1t was not a family affair;
whether or not the Tail Twister col
lected the dime is unknown to the
writer. but the speeches and opinions
resulting therefrom, was worth much
more.
