Supposed Dead
Mar, Comes Back

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II. U.P)
Henry Vawter, missing since 1923,
was back from "the grave" today,
but he found no welcome in his
home.
VaWter, a former policeman, was
arrested as a suspect in a false pre-
tense case. Former police associates
identified him. His wife came to
his cell and recognized the pris-
oner as her husband whom she had
declared dead legally in 1881. She
collected a $2400 death benefit at
the time.
Mrs. Vawter repeatedly decided
she didn't want her husband back
and that to her he was SILL dead.

I " by HARRY J. BAUER,
\ President, automobile Club
@sSSSSSM ofS0Ntbern California
N2SAY Do you know why the
G Automobile Club of South

ern California has grown to be the largest
in the United States?
1t is because membership will sa,e JOn
money-put actual dollars in your pocket
in addition to vastlyincreasing the pleas
ure of owning car.
The Automobile Club is a non profit
organization. 1t is conducted solely for the
mutual benefit of its members. Every cent
of the Clubs income goes into services for
them.
90 Services for Members
There are forty of these services. Space
does not permit description ofall of them
here, but the following are typical:
Insurance at Cost: The Clubs Inter
Insurance Exchange will insure your auto
mobile at cost. This means lower rates, plus
liberal cash return to you each year. Fur
thermore, because the Club exists only to
serve its members, claims are always
settled promptly and literally. This one
service alone can easily save you more than
the small annual membership dues.
Free Repair Service: Anywhere in Cal
ifornia-any time, day or night-you are
entitled to free emergency repairs or tire
change, and if your Car won't run, tree
towing to the nearest Official Emergency
Station. Here again, you may save more
than the cost of membership.
NesO Car Financing: IF you are think
ing of buying new car, let the Club buy
it for you, at fiat charge of only so on
the unpaid balance-the lowest finance
rate in the United States! This service alone
saves as much as $3.50 in handling the
purchase of new car.

 If you have, it's quite possible you've been swindled. And if swindled you have plenty of com pany. About one in every four adults in the United States is on one sucker. list' or another. And from them the white-collar bandits take . toll which. equally distrib- uted, would amount to approxi- mately s20 for every man. woman and child in the nation.
 The post office department, most potent agency opposing large-scale fraud operations, because 1t relent- lessly prosecutes misuse of the mails, investigated 6,s91 schemes last year. The National Better Business Bureau and its 62 local branches handled more than half a million complaints in the same time. States attorneys, general and municipal police departments nat urally probed many other cases. In New York city alone, arrests of confidence men in 1892 were nearly triple the number in the previous year.

Many takes lessons in Ro- many arithmetic by placing their money in bags held by gypsy wo- men; only to open the bags next day and find not even so much as thank-you note.
 More enterprising operators, however, are selling whatever hap pens to be in the headlines. For several weeks gilt-edged shares of '"Technocracy Preferred" were bee ing snapped up like hotcakes.

federal operatives are swamped with work. Many rackets are launched, return a huge profit and go out of existence before action can be taken against them.
 What to do about 1t? "Educate the potential victims." says the Better Business Bureau.
 Millions and millions of dollars are lost each year to the public through fraudulent promotions, says Edward l.. Greene, of New York, general manager of the Ma. tional Bureau. "The schemes are varied; some arc very clever and require cleverness to detect. But that some of the most commonly used and obviously fraudulent schemes succeed is a severe indict- ment of our gullibility.

"If the crooks are caught and convicted, the laws will mete our adequate punishment but they will not bring back lost savings. While there is no infallible rulc or advice which invariably will protect people from swindlers, any one who will take the trouble always to investigate before invest ing will stand better chance of avoiding loss."
