PENNY RACKET
BOYS SELL AT A PROFIT
Another example of the "penny racket" lias been discovered in Auskiand, this one, tinlike some of the more innocent affairs, actually being an offence under the law. Boys who come, by a large number of pennies in their after-school hours are reported to be selling them to customers: at a jienny profit a dozen. Those who have succumbed to this "illegal trade" evidently have been so much in need of the coppers that they have willingly paid the extra sum.
