Berlin, Jan. 20.-A cartoonist in

ictures a family of profiteers and
imed them "Raffkes." Bediamoned,
verfed and overdressed, he pictured
teir doings, and the music halls were
ot slow to take up the idea. Then
play was written about the "Raff-
es," and duly presented on the stage,
id today the name is used all over
ermany to designate those who are
elieved to profit unduly.
