"show house” to be shown prospec-
tive customers.
John Draper, assistant manager
of the Better Busineaa Bureau here,
warned that "hearse chasers" vic-
timlae the bereaved by selling them
Bibles, land and other things, falsely
claiming they had been recently or-
dered by the person who died.
Probably the oldest international
swindle known ia the "Spanish or
Mexican prisoner” racket, and it's
still being pulled today with only
alight varlations.
The sucker gets an intriguing let-
ter from a man who says he is a
prisoner in Mexico, and offers him
part of a secret fortune if he will
advance $15,000 in cash to get him
out of jail.
Cliy Maa Gets Letter
A local man received one of the
letters, Kemery said, with a faked
copy of the jail sentencing and a
faked newspaper clipping telling
about the arrest and trial enclosed.
The letter writer also said he had a
beautiful IS-year-old daughter wait-
ing in a convent and wanted the
city man to bring $15,000 in cash
personally to Mexico.
"The letter appealed to romance,
adventure and excitement," said
Kemery, "and it was so irrestibie

grass, fruit trees, house repairs—
and the spring rackets.
Yes, spring ia in the air-and
suckers are eager to part with "ven-
ture money." And the con man is
always there, ready to oblige.
Kemery listed a few at the spring
racket*—and cautioned the eitizens
to be on the alert for them.
There’s the salesman who swears
he has grass seed which grows grass
only two inches high, and it never
needs mowing Husbands who don’t
believe a lawn mower fits their
hands are gullible victims for thia
con man. and find they have bought
nothing but cheap aeed.
"Nursery" Racket Bared
The "nursery” racket, that’s one
to watch. The salesman cornea
around with a bunch of small trees
all wrapped up in burlap bags, and
offers them to you for a low price.
He may even aet them out for you
at a slight additional charge.
Then you sit back and wait for
the sprigs to grow into shade trees,
and soon you notice they began to
look sick, then wither and die. In-
veatigation shows they are not

i Spring’s in the Air and So Are the Rackets,
Swindle Detector Warns City
By Deacon New
"You can’t cheat an honest man."
So said an oldtime confidence man recently while he was
cooling his heels in the city jail for attempting to pull the old
’ pocketbook" or "pigeon dropping" game on an unsuspecting
city housewife. 1
"Your victim has to have a little larceny in his heart, too,”
said the con man, revealing one of his secrets of the trade.
And the con man is right, according to Clyde Kemery,
manager of the Better Business bureau here, and an expert at
sprigs but only twigs-- with no roota
—stuck in the burlap bags.
Another door-to-door racket is
"itinerant painter" who says he ia
working for a prominent local firm
and will quote a very low price to
paint your house or garage The
victim realizes he ha* been duped
the first time it rains and the cheap
spray used by the painter washes
off.
Other Schemes Revealed
The "show house scheme” hasn't
been pulled in Oklahoma City, yet.
Kemery says, but he's keeping a
lookout for it. Con men, who do
house repair work, sign an unsus-
pecting victim up for an expensive
repair job on misrepresentation that
the repaired house will serve as a

Pampa Makes:,
GoodWillTrip
A 2-Way Deal
By Ben Berger
(Okiaboman-Times state saner)
PAMPA, Texas, April 26—A heartier
welcome could not have been received
anywhere than Pampans produced foe
the tourists from Oklahoma City.
Pampana left nothing undone to
make the traveling Sooners feel an if
they might want to become Pampaha
Tidbita of the trip: George H. C.
Green, vice-president at the Liberty
National bank, distributes rood luck
pennies. In Watonga he handed a
youth a half-dollar by mistake. Heef-
fered the lad six good luck pennies for
the half but the youth refused.
Caravan Makes Up Time
Gene Fatheree and Joe Key of Pam-
pa are probably the happiest men ta
Texas. Their city recently contracted
for a new celanese plant here and the
pair had a hand in landing the multi-
million dollar deal.
Gaston Broyles and Shel Stirling at
th* Oklahoma City chamber of com-
merer deserve a special pat for keep-
ing the three-bus caravan, and M
persons, on schedule. The first day,
Tuesday, the group left Oklahoma
City 10 minutes late, covered 117 miles
and reached Guymon on the last stop
but 15 minutes late, losing only five
minutes in nine stops and more than
300 miles. Wednesday there were nine
stops, covering 240 miles, and we hit
Pampa right on the nose. u
Business, Pleasure Mix "
Kermit Hardwick, John A. Brown
Co. executive, did some busineaa in
Dalhart. At the dinner table he was
Introduced to M. R. Culbertson of a
men's wear store in Dalhart. It seems
that Culbertson had been wanting a
log playhouse Brown's had advertised.

detecting schemes and swin-
diet.
760 Swindles Known
"That* the main point to re-
member,” Kemery says. "All the con
games—and there are 760 schemes
of which we have knowledge—are
successful primarily because the
victim haa a little larceny in Iha
heart, or he's trying to get some-
thing for nothing.”
With their knowledge of human
nature—and "misrepresentation" as
their stock in trade—the confidence
men go to great lengths to swindle
a sucker out of his money.
"It’s remarkable the ingenuity
they show and the extent to which
they will go to swindle a victim."
Kemery said "The 760 schemes are
used over and over again—with
many variations—and they still get
suckers."
Cen Man Will Oblige

tage of the conditions of the times
