In the June issue of Harper's magazine -the distinguished historian and biographer, Fletcher Pratt, has an entertaining and eye-opening arti cle describing some of the newer advances that have been made in fleecing a gullible public of some of its hard-earned cabbage.

The machines have a nas ty habit of getting out of order, and the grifter has an equally nasty habit of fading from view when the inevitable complaints start to aceumu late.
