AS monte CARLO is RUN

You cannot walk into the Casino,
the notorious gambling resort of
Monte Carlo, in the way you drop
into a museum. Before you are al
lowed to enter the gambling room
you must give one of the officials
outside the doors your name and
address, and in return he hands you
a card of admission available eth
er for a day. or a week or a month.
Outside the Casino are several de-
tectives of various nationalities who
run their eyes over each stranger
TO Monte Carlo and watch for unde
Sirables and sharps. Great Britain's
representative is generally an ex
inspector of the metropolitan police
force.
Certain restrictions in the matter
of dress are imposed by the Casino
company. Unwary ones who inno

FLIES Kill 5000 In YEAR

BERKELEY. Cal. Nov. 15.-Ordin-
airy house flies cost annually 5000
lives, and an economic less of $lS,-
100000 in California, according to a
report on them issued by the Uni
versity of California.
William B. Herms. assistant pro-
fessor of entomology, who prepared
the indictment against the flies,
spent five years investigating them.
Flies, he finds, transmit typhoid, dy-
sentery, tuberculosis. "pink-eye," and
under certain conditions leprosy,
erysipelas, smallpox, plague, tracho-
ma. stepticaemia, Asiatic cholera,
sleeping sickness and plenty of
other diseases. This they do mostly
by planting healthy colony of
germs wherever they put their feet
down.
Thousands of deaths among in
fants, Herms holds, will be averted
when mothers and nurses learn to
keep flies from crawling on babies
faces or hands.

A REAL PRINCE FOR $4,000
This Bargain Sale kingIing Is Hand
some and Polished.

BERLIN, Oct. I. A recent ad-
vertisement in leading Berlin news
paper, the Vossische Zeitung, offer
ing a real prince in the marriage
market at the extremely low price
of $4,000, has caused widespread
discussion. The announcement reads:
Prince, % years old, splendid ap-
pearance, of great general education
and polish, wish immediate mar
riage. Ready cash necessary, $4,000
Marriage brokers not entertained"
1t is pointed out in many of the
comments on this, even for Europe,
extraordinary offer, that titles are
the only things that have recently
become cheaper, and it is limited
that perhaps the rise in the price of
meat, vegetables and other house
hold necessities is the cause of this
diminution of value.

now in the county Jail ignorance of

are the only excuse offered by
Rech in extenuation cf his crime.
1t is apparent that the Rechs do
not appreciate the seriousness of
their crime. they believe they had
the right to ii themselves of their
infant inCumhrance. Rech. through
an interpreter, asked the Jail au
thorities how long he would have to
remain in Jail and if he couldn't be
released by the payment of a small
fine
The Rechs came here four years
ago from Italy. Rech had always
been sober and hard working. but
he told the Interpreter that he
found ii harder and harder to

wife hired out on a ranch to in

Rcvelting to the methods of open

il has never been considered func-

difficulties of both extremes.
The choice is not whether we
shall mine our coal on the leasehOld
scheme but whether under private

The requisites of the proposed leas-
ing system. as outlined by the sec
rotary, are thus summarized by the
Tribune:
Only sufficient lands should be
leased to meet the existing market

secret OF good fudge lies in the

is to boil as little as possible (usu-

to beat regularly in the same direc-
