Every time a swindler is sent to
prison, after his fraudulent dealings
have been exposed the question
arises in the mind of the average
person how he was able to find
enough gullible people to make his
scheme temporarily successful.
Morton S. Hawkins was sentenced
to fifteen years in the federal peni-
Tertiary and fined $4,000 in federal
court in Indianapolis for defrauding
thousands Of investors out of mil

He operated through the Hawkins

sidiary organizations, which prom
ised the investor fabulous returns.
The savings of lifetime were taken
from secret hiding places by scores
Of widows and aged people in the
hope that they would be richly re-

Those who have money to invest

ALHILE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Tremendous possibilities exist for
increased earnings through greater
thrift and efficiency. While rapid
strides are being made in these
directions, there still remains wide
discrepancy between our material
wealth and our Individual incomes.
Some very impressive data along this
line has recently been prepared By
Mr. William A. Galley Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce.
He calls attention to our Is billion
dollars Of bank savings; our ~
million insurance policies worth So
billion dollars; two-fifths of the rail
road mileage Of the world; one-half
Of the coal supply; SO per cent Of the
automobiles; 63 percent Of the tele-
phones, to say nothing Of our vast
mineral deposits, forests, agricultural
land and water supplies.
On the other hand it is pointed out
that our 1922 income tax returns
showed net profit Of only little
over 5 per cent on 100 billion dollars
worth Of business done in a year I;
that in of our basic industries we
reproducing SO per cent Of the
worlds output and using 49, per
cent Of the worlds consumption
although we constitute but 6 per cent
Of the worlds population.
The point also is made that we are
using Is billion cubic feet of timber
annually and regrowing only 6
billion cubic feet, while in a survey Of
waste IN industry Secretary Hoover
found that in six major industries
there was an average waste Of so
per cent in raw materials and man
power employed or at a rate Of 80
billion dollars annually.
These figures, startling in their
significance, are not given in the
spirit Of criticism. because it is every
where apparent that we are making
tremendous strides in thrift, but they
show the limitless possibilities now
existing for the individual in this
country.
Barring illness or accident or
some similar misfortune, there is no
reason why any man cannot acquire
position of financial independence
in America, if he will adhere to the
practices of ordinary thrift and
industry.

Loyalty To Home.

Nothing will make man fight

anything more inconsistent than a
