OPEN BOOK

The management Of the interstate
fair is considering what will be done
about the poolhouse part of the rae
Ing program. I'VE are still undecided
whether we will let the betting ring
to syndicate or allow several diff
ferent people to cut in and make
books said Manager Cosgrove this
morning.
1t is believed the management will
finally decide to allow anyone with
the necessary money to come in. If
this is done, it will add greatly to
the interest of the races and satisfy
everyone, giving the betting talent a
better show.
Abominable conditions existed last
fall, when the rights were all given
to the syndicate book conducted by
one Mccarthy. The odds he offered
were frishtful, and after the first
couple of days the heavy plungers of
the city failed to patronize him, but
instead sent their money to Seattle
where they placed it in the Seattle
poolrooms on outside races. The
smaller fry. the "pikers,' who could
only afford to bet small money,
couldn't bet and the big fellows
wouldn't bet, and much interest was
lost.
McCarthy's odds were SO poor that
the talent began to dub him "One to
Four Mccarthy, as that was about
the extent of the odds he would offer
In race of any degree or class.
1t is claimed that should Mccarthy
secure the poolhouse this season he
will be boycotted by the talent.

GEISHA GIRLS
PAY A WAR TAX
ON THEIR RINGS
BY W. d. Colver, Special Commits
sioner Of the Newspaper Enterprise
Association In the Far East.

KOBE, Japan, March 8.-Contrib-
uting to war funds is the fad in ia
pan. Every possible scheme and de-
vice is employed by the people of va
rious' cities, towns and provinces to
make their contributions to the va
rious funds larger than any other.
The geisha of Kobe have decided
to do away with the elaborate native
style of headdress and thus save the
money usually paid to professional
hairdressers. The money they save
will go to the funds. This is fine for
the funds, but it seems a little tough
on the hairdressers.
The wearing of rings was to be
prohibited by the geishas' guild, but
when it, came to the test the girls
thought that was carrying patriotism
a bit too far-so they agreed to pay
a tax of so sen (25 cents) for each
ring instead of giving the ring itself
to the funds.
