tillery organizations and being fitted with
proper equipment, the effort to secure re-
moval from this to a national camp has
been inaugurated.

game is known as twenty one or stop

he can make twenty-one. Then another
member of the gang who has been con-

at once disputes the suckers ability to
throw twenty-one. The victim feels GER
tain he has a sure thing and is induced
to stake his money and a bet results, Then
