constant allurements are being held
out by interruptions persons who
make offers OF fabulous returns to
those who are willing to entrust
their hard earned savings to them.
It is to be borne in mind that any
form OF investment suggestive OF
abnormal returns should be viewed
with suspicion.
In several cities quite recently
there have been men brought be-
fore the bar of justice for defraud-
ing the unwary in amounts agsre-
eating hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars. These operations work ter
rible hardships. Those who are
robbed are quite often poor widows
or elderly persons who through
these misfortunes are made pau
psrs for the rest Of their lives. 1t
In not enough that the charletans
who invent and execute these fraud
ulent schemes are given the pen
atty OF the law. Every possible step
should be taken 10 prevent lepelf
lions of these practices.
Greater public education along
practical lines is necessary.
Those who come IN contact with
the public should be qualified to
discuss these matters intelligently
and be able to point out the dan
gers OF placing funds with persons
who offer eatravagant rewards.
There Is not enough general nm
derstanding of the most simple fun
dam rentals Of finance. 1t is too easy
for the mountebank to appeal to the
imagination and credulity OF his
victims.
The greatest barrier against
fraud IS practical education. Those
who assume leadership In public
thought have not discharged their
duties when they teach the thrift
that consists only in saving money
and those who are in position to
give advice and instructions on
personat economics should realize
the danger that may come from les
sons in thrift and economy that are
only half taught.

Photo Of Cat Drive, AVA Me.

How an enlargement from a snap
shot OF a cat scared mice from the
kitchen Of the Brompton hospital,
London. is told by a former patient.
The staff of the Kitchen were an .
noyed by the>nocturnal visits Of mice.
and it occurred TO the patient, who
was a photographer. that an enlarged
photograph Of a cat which he had
might frighten away the pests.
The picture was cut out around the
cut line of the animal, its size giving
IL the appearance of a cat waiting for
the arrival of its prey.
This Photographic model was plac-
ed in a convenient position close 10
the mouse-hole. and On the irst
night of its vigil" a mouse was OBJ
served to creep a few inches fror, its
hole. Suddenly, becoming aware Of
the cats" presence 1t scampered
back to its retreat. Every night the
cat was put on duty, and no more
mice were seen.
