Dhases of the mail inspection
He spoke of the fraudulent
schemes which are advertised in
cheap magazines and which are
based on the desire oi an nu
mans to get "something for noth
ing". He described the news
paper clipping scheme and the
costly COD package sometimes
addressed to a deceased person
and containing perhaps a cheap
fountain pen. He read a list of
fraudulent schemes advertised
in a current magazine which in
cluded two "write a song ads,"
five "crooked dice and cards"
ads, one "hair restorer, one
"love charm," one "detective
school" and one "false teeth" ad
Other advertisements Col. Wil
liams warned against were the
"knit socks at home", and the
"address envelopes or post
cards," schemes, and he stated
fault would always be found
with the finished work and no
pay for it would be forth com
ing. He also warned against the
magazine subscription solicitors,
and advised housewives to ask
for the solicitors city license.

Tummers Return
From Trip Abroad;
Brother To Arrive
Ending a stay of six weeks in
Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Tum
mers of Central Point returned
to the valley this week. The
Tummers first visited in Air.
Tummers' n a ti v e Holland, his
parents being residents of Til
burg, and later they were in
Belgium, France, Italy, Switzer
land, Luxembourg and other
countries. They traveled both
ways by air.
While the Tummers enjoyed
their stay abroad very much,
they report that conditions in
Europe, particularly southern
Europe and Italy, leave the trav
eler with a deep sense of depres
sion. "The people in Italy appar
ently are very discouraged, Mr.
Tummers reported. "It is said
that more than half of the Ital
ians do not have steady eniDlov-
ment and there is a general air
of discouragement. One hears
talk of war constantly, and peo
ple seem to believe that there is
little use of making an effort
toward economic recovery since
any gains would merely be swal
lowed up in the next war. Ital
ians have turned to communism
because they believe any change
would have to be an improve
ment," he said.
The Tummers were amazed at
the extent of the black market
activities, particularly in France,
and Mr. Tummers states that a
tourist can't walk a block with
out being accosted by someone
who wants to trade in American
money or sell black market
American cigarettes. These were
selling at about $1 a pack, he
said.
Since the couple operate an
inn near Central Point, they were
particularly interested in visit
ing hotels, cafes and night clubs.
At the Club Astoria, in Milan,
they were introduced to a num
ber of other American travelers,
including Errol Flynn, the movie
star, and had dinner with the
actor. In the good hotels, the
food is excellent and service
fine, they found, but they were
disturbed by the fact that as
they sat dining on fine food, beg
gars clustered around the doors
of the dining room and lined
the sidewalks.
The travelers picked Rapolla.
Italy, as the most delightful spot
they visited. Rapolla is a sea
coast resort city, about two
hours' driving time south of
Genoa, and the Tummers were
enchanted with the view, the fine
hotel and the friendliness of the
natives.
Mr. Tummers speaks French.
German and his native tongue
as well as English, and Mrs.
Tummers speaks both English'
and Italian, so they did not have
the language worries which be
set the ordinary American tour
ist abroad.
While the Tummers were in
Tilburg, the engagement of Mr.
Tummers' sister. Annie, was an
nounced. A brother, Hubert, is
making arrangements to come to
Oregon for an indefinite stay
with the couple here.
The couple plans to reopen their
inn Saturday, the place having
been closed during their absence.
