SWINDL1NG BUSINESS STILL FLOURISHES

into the business of swindling hi; fellow man of large amounts bS forgerics and crooked transactions he invariably endeavors to live ur to the doubtful reputc of being q Napoleon of finance"
 He may not be known as sucl during the days of bunking the pub, lie; indeed, at such a time he greatly prefers 10 be known as a conservative business man able to yield a huge and safe profit to investors.
 But when the bubble bursts. as it invariably does. he is held up as having been a Napoleon of finance --onc who was but isn't. Napoleon l landed at St. Helena-and the St. Helena of every swlndler is a prison dungeon.
 Time after time such get-rich- quick gentlemen come to grief; but inasmuch as the crop of suckers never seems 10 diminish, the crop of swindiers likewise never dimn- Sshes.
 Newspapers don't seem complete unless recounting the misdeeds, somewhere by somebody, of a swindlor, The smaller try-those who try to get away with few thousands of dollars receive short shrift 100 miles from the scene of their activities; those who deal in the hundreds of thousands get larger space: those who deal in million or so get much greater publicity.
 This nation is the happy hunt ing ground of swindlers. There seems 10 be a huge public which falls for almost anything promising fat profit.
 Statistics point out that about a billion dollars go into worthless "se- curities" in this country every year. The business of shearing the lambs is as highly developed as any other business. It could not survive if there were no lambs. The average man thinks he is too smart to be deceived by any such tomfoolery; but the statistics show that an army of smart ones are deceived with the ease of fooling children.
 A strong stimulation for such non- sensical faith in acquiring something for nothing are stories of men ''mak- ing a million" within d week through speculation. But there is a difference between speculation and peculation. In addition, speculator making million" must be an ''insider," knowing pretty well what is going to happen in a particular industry. But an army of outsiders franticaliy at tempt to follow suit, making it easy sailing for any person who has suf- ficient front" to make an impress sion upon gullihe minds.
 He who can afford to gamble with his surplus money, who can afford to lose the stakes he throws into the hopper, is the only person who is entitled to deal with crooks-and only once in a lifetime. The aver age fry ought to be so conservative that a silver dollar looks like a cart wheel, a paper dollar like an orig inal manuscript. or savings bank book like a family heirloom.
 These fellows also harm the lcgi- timate investment business. Buying and selling securities is a necessary function but every time some Ma poleon starts bunking the public it hurts legitimate investment chan ntls.
 A sensible man, wishing 10 invest sonsibly, will go to a sensible brok- CT; but the man without sense isn't so particular-until the bubble bursts.

TWO PIONEERS IN ART

One of Founders of Impressionist

By the Associated Press

PARIS. October 10.-Arman GULL

remaining survivors of the band Of
painters who inaugurated the impres-
SioniSt school of painting in the latter
half Of the nineteenth century. Both
have reached the age of So. but both
keep in close touch with developments
of modern art. Guillaumin has Just
given proof of this in his reply to two
questions pat by the art review
L'Art Nivant. which has been col
lecting opinions of representative
men as to whether a French museum
of modern art ought to be created in
addition to or to replace the LuXem-
bourg Gallery. which is in theory the
museum of modern art in France.
The veteran painter replied:
The foundation of such a museum
