WHAT THE WILD WAVES SAY
 ALONG THE MILFORD SHORE

AEU1g0 HILL MILL QbtO OA1Vbs@ Confectionery dealers, lunch room proprietors, and all the merchants who have had penny slot machines in their places of business at the beaches are relegating the machines to the cellars or the attics of their stores for they have been tipped off, that some one complained to the authorities about the use of the machines and that state police are at the beach looking for v1o- lations of the law in regard to gamb- ling devices
 The merchants on whole regret having to give up the machines for there are very few of them that do not tsbring in at least $5 a, week which is enough to pay the rent of the mer- chants store as a general rule Most up the machines however than be haul ed into the Milford court and have to pay a fine of $25 and costs
 Nearly everyone is familiar with the ma chimes which are being objected to. A penny is dropped in a slot at the apex of triangular shaped glass front box. The penny drops down in to the machine and hitting nails plac- ed at irregular intervals falls into one of a half dozen different compart- ments If the penny falls in the com partment marked ssG'' the player gets
 
 partment marked .s5',, five cents worth Of trade is the reward and so it goes, the amount which may be won going as high as 25 cents in trade
 Some of the machines are arranged with miniature playing cards and no gum is given on these machines, the player running the risk of getting nothing at all in return for. his money
 Just who has entered the complaint is not known but it is ruTnored about that the complaint has really been made and to be on the safe side most tempting little gambling devices from their places of business
