SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

A scheme for getting rich quickly occurred to Rafael
Gonzales, of Orizaba, Mexico. He wrote polite and business
like letters to American newspapers ordering 50 daily and 70
Sunday copies to be sent regularly.
The fishing was good, for Gonzales promised to remit
800 upon receipt of the first shipment of papers. The idea
of building up big circulation in Mexico naturally appealed
to ambitious publishers. Maybe some of them wondered
how many Mexicans could read it at all, let alone read Eng
lish print.
The postofice inspectors in Washington, D. c., have is
sued a fraud order against Gonzales, barring him from the
mails.
But Gonzales apparently got what he was after, for the
Gonzales has thus obtained large quantities of American
newspapers for which he paid nothing and has doubtless
realized no small revenue through their sale as wrapping
paper"
Lately there has been a regular epidemic of frauds worked
on Americans by swindlers in foreign countries using our
mails.
In the particular case of Gonzales, it occurs to you that a
man of his ingenuity was wasting his time on a waste paper
swindle. The same cleverness applied to an honest and usefu@
proposition, would make him increasingly rich.
The criminal mind, however, seems to have a peculiar
warp that makes the getting of wealth by crooked means
seem the easiest way. On the law of averages, it is easier to
get rich honestly than dishonesty.
You can pictures Gonzales, sitting around for months or
even years, rolling shuck cigarets and running his resourceful
brain highspeed until he figured out his scheme.
It is almost astounding, the extent to which the human
brain will resort to get something for nothing. In other
words, to sget by" without honest, useful endeayor.
It is true Of swindlers. And it is true of most Of us, espe-
cially the swindlers' victims. Wasting so much time, trying
to get something for nothing, is what keeps many people poor
There's not enough time left for really productive effort.
Day-dreams, unless curbed within reasonable bounds,
have the same effect as chloroform.

Q. What part of a flower contains

A. A French chemist says that the
fine oil which gives perfume to the

chlorophyl, and IL usually located at
the upper surfaces Of the petals or
sepals in very delicate cellules.
Chlorophyl Is the substance in plants
which turns a leaf into a sort OF
