to get something for nothing. That
human frailty is the basis Of every
racketeer's success. Without such
mental fertility on the part of his
dupes. mos; games would fail.
RENT PARTIES
She was a nice girl and had cul-
ture, of which she was proud. She
fell upon unfortunate days. and
the rent was overdue She was in
despair. until she happened to meet
racketeer His heart was touched
but do t suppose he would jar loose
his change No. no. He would. how
ever, relieve her situation by SHOW
ing her wha; to do. The result was
2 rent party.
Now rent parties are simple little
social functions that yield nice
profits to the promoters. A little
barbecue meat, the making of
sandwich and a few bottles Of
needed beer: Real Stuff" is what
is whispered as the guests are serv-
ed at :. fourfold price, and gallon

complete save for the guests.
Here is where the racketeer shows
his cunning. He passes the word to
smoke shop friends, drops a tip as
10 the address to several taXicab
drivers who know their OATS" and
from some mysterious rendezvous,
come the visitors, each of whom
sincerely believes that he has struck
some lucky streak in search of
pleasure.
The affair is a success. Profits
have been about 600 per cent and the
racketeer takes half of the ret. Out
Of this he slips his boys" "Bit" in
the language of the craft and goes
YEARLY to bed with nice piece of
change and the credit of having done
his daily good deed. OF course, If
the officer on the beat had to be
squared, or there was a neighbor
who was So unkind as to "squawk"
at noise, his part is diminished some
by virtue of having to "do fix"
THE HOOK SHOP GAME
The racketeer - bless his cum
ming hide is with us always.
There is the hook shop game which,
today, doesn't seem to be very popu-
lar with the nimble-witted gentry.
In this game the sucker purchases a
pawn ticket from the lead on man"
at very low figure. and all he has
to do is go to the pawn shop and
get the pawned articles out. Of
course, you are wise enough to see
through that, and you insist that
the seller accompany you to the
alleged pawn shop and show you
what he has to sell
THE CON" MAN
You are somewhat surprised when
the con" man readily agrees to the
He takes you to the
pawn shop, shows you what you have
presumably purchased, and asks if
you are satisfied. You reply that you
my, what a sad awakening
is coming to you! You go back to
get the stuff and the owner of the
place informs you that the fellow

ewas only buying the articles on time
and that ne thought you were a
friend who had come in just to see
what he mad bought.
No, he can't give you your money
back, is awfully sorry the thing hap
pened in his place and all that sort
of rot while you stand helpless to
recover your money. This game,
though, since the regulation of pawn
shops by city ordinances, has become
almost, if not practically, obsolete.
CROOKED COMPLEX"
Another favorite stunt of the con
man is to set up in the toilet manu-
featuring business and advertise for
a lot of help. He sells you kit of
samples for five or ten dollars and
then skips town The kit is usually
worth about ninety-eight cents.
This, police say, is the border line
between open banditry and high fl
nance. The fellow usually operating
such a confidence game as this, has
the making Of a business man of
genius and crooked complex" that
won't permit him to syecute properly
once cash gets within his hand.
"PERSUADERS"
Perhaps the most profitable racket
today is the organization of protec-
tive bodies of one sort or another.
Many small merchants have oeen
victimized by nice sounding asSocia-
tons for trade advancement and
protection that are really hold-up
projects. Membership fees are high
and heSitancy about joining is met
with call from the reception COM
mittee or the "persuaderS" little fire
bombs, that shatter shops, or just
throw scare into the shopkeeper,
as the occasion warrants.
FEW NEGROES IN THIS
1t is said that Chicago, New York,
Detroit, st. Louis, and other cities
have provided a toll of several mil
lion dollars each to this type OF
racketeer and his gang. Few Negroes
have been found engaged in this big
business type. 1t takes more CAPT.
tai and more men working together
than is usually possible in\the fri
can section of Americas population.
QUICK WITTED SALESMAN
Two or three Negroes have become
shining examples of distinctiveness
in lone hand plays that depend upon
sheer nerve for the preparation OF
the hustle; and upon the vanity OF
the white man who bit, but who
suffered his losses without {. "squaWk''
rather than publicly admit that

FIVE KILLED WHEN
 STORM HITS STATE
Others Hurt in Violent Gale in
 Maryland Yesterday

Baltimore, April Pl-Five deaths were charged today to the swift wind and rain storm which cut a path across Maryland yesterday. Three ne- gro oyster tongers were thought to have drowned as the storm struck their motorboat in Chesapeake Bay, off the mouth of West River. The sunken boat was found last night and it was thought their bodies would be located in it's cabin. Two negro stevedorcs were drowned in Baltimore when the wind hit a scow they were trying to drag closer in shore and pulled them into the har- Dor.
 Six women were hurt when a big plate glass window blew out where they had sought shelter in the vesti bule of an office building. Uprooted trees and damaged farm buildings marked the storms path through other parts of the state.

 Bungling sent Will Rogers to fame. Americas cowboy humorist, who will make the second of his series of national broadcasts Sunday night, April 13, admits it himself.

 Lieut.. Dolph graduated from | West Point in 1913 and saw service

NORWEGIA, March S,-The whal- ing exploration ship Norwegia, com manded by Capt. Riser Larsen, has left the Antarctic for Capetown.
 The vessel unsuccessfully sought the rock reported sighted by Capt. Hendrickson, of the steamer Truls in the region of 59.9 south and 23.39 east.
 Capt. Riser Larsen is of the opin- ion that the reported cliff must have been one of the many over turned ice mountains which, being covered with black earth, are cas- fly mistaken for rocks.
