CRAWL OVER ROOF
 AND MAKE RAID
Police Led By City Detective Stan. ley, Arrest Men Who Ire Supposed to Have GambIed at the BroOkhill.

After shadowing the place for sey- erai days without success, City De- tective k. c. Stanley and patrolmen l Wllhams, Glover and Reidinger, of ! the Pine Bluff police department Monday raided a crap game" which is sad to have been in progress, over the brookhil] saloon, and arrested five men, who are charged with am i ing. The police crawled over the roof of an adjoining building and were finaly admitted to d room. next to the one where the supposed game was on. and made five arrests. Two raids were made by the police during the day
 For some days the police have been advised that aambl ,ng room Was being conducted there. but every time all effort was made by them to raid it, the police say signals were given and the participants escaped before they could get at them. When the raid was made Monday the police were immediately admitted to the room. where they had previously heard seven, leben. etc, but only the apparently unused crap tables and chairs greeted them The five men arrested had gone through a window into an adjoining room. The police demanded admittance there and found them enjoying social chat. The men were arrested and put up money for their appearance in the city police court. They gave fictitious names.
 The police say that all other club rooms over the city are closed and that no effort is being made to open them. They will continue to raid gambling houses when they attempt to operate.

is REMOVING THE APPENDIX A
CRIME?

One of the best known physicians
of Boston, Dr. Charles E. Page, star
ties the public ear by an unexpected
announcement.
! He says that an operation for ap-
pendicitis should be put in the cate
CORY of crimes.
| As for the widely proclaimed bene-
| fits which the use of the knife in
such cases is said to produce this en-
inent practitioner declares that upon
investigation they fail to materialize,
and in proof of his own contention he
cites an unabridged list of fatalities
which have been caused either direct
ly or indirectly by the keen blade of
the surgeon.
Among the recent victims of the
operation he mentions Governor John
son of Minnesota, and Clyde Fitch,
the playwright.
We are not prepared to enter the
merits of this discussion.
But when the charge is made with
lin the ranks of the profession that CD
erations for appendicitis should be
forbidden by law, what are ordinary
laymen to think?
Wei some Of it wouldn't do to-
print
Ever since King Edward underwent
an operation of this character several
years ago it has been the fashion to
put the blame for most of our trou-
bles upon the appendix-and this lit |
tie member has been overworked.
The physicians frankly admit they |
cannot tell US what purpose it serves,
but let us all a little. and out it
comes.
One purpose which it serves IN
doubtedly is to help a doctor to buy
an automobile.
But testing aside. the appendix must
nave been intended for some wise
purpose. 1t belongs to our makeup.
When the good Lord included it .
lmong our furnishings he did so for
wise reasons
And when DR.. Page cries halt" tC
his massacre of the appendix, we say
Amen. Georgian.

bite till l am sick and tired of their
war cry. House flies are worse here
than in any place l have ever lived.
They swarm and stick until am driv-

estimate that with a few years of

we think our state will save several
