She Was WIue.

A student took a lovely young
woman to the theater the other night.
He busted himself buying the tickets
and he didn't enjoy the show much,
because he kept thinking that maybe
she would expect him to take her into
the drug store and buy her something
before they took the car for home.
So soon as the performance was
over he said:
Have you been reading all these
dreadful exposures Of drug store bev-
erages in the Home Muckraker? It's

HONEST IN THEIR GAMBLING
Writer Asserts That Chinese Have
Best Of Regulations as Devotees
Of Chance.

There exists In the United States q
class Of gamblers Of which little Is
known. who are never muck-raked
and seldom arrested; and as straight
and as game" gamblers as the old
school of the fraternity in America
ever was. l refer to the Chinese,
writes Hugh s. Fullerton, In the Amer
lean Magazine. American gamblers
who have dealt for or played against
the Chinese will testify that they are
blood brothers of the game. Almost
every Chinaman Is a gambler in the
true sense of the term, and gambling
fits his philosophy better than 1t does
ours. Besides. they are honest-Bret
Harte to the contrary-and In the
West. where the Chinaman is known
his marker is as good as cash almost
anywhere.
/ remember once when Chun, our
cook. ran of from the ranch one pay
day and I was detailed to go into Sill
yer City and drag him home by the
queue or else assume the duties OF cook
myself. Chun was getting 50 month
and he had three months pay when
he set out on foot for Silver. l found
him with more than s1,400 in checks
in front of him. One cannot win an
argument from Chinaman with 81
400. l had to wait two days before
he was broke, happy. and ready to go
back for three more months.
In almost every western gambling
house the Chinaman is welcome and
regarded as dangerous player, who.
with run of luck, is likely to sweep
the house clean. have seen a laun-
dryman in Fresno bet $1,000 on the
turn of card and lose without NOV
ing an eyelash. They play poker won
derfully well and Internationally. There
may be cheats among them, but the
gamblers who deal for them testify
that they are about the most honor
able of gamblers.
Cinnamon are big gamblers every
where. In California, according to flg-
ures compiled by the labor commits
sion few years ago 1t was estimated
that more than half of the total earn
ings Of all the Chinese in the state
pass through the hands of gamblers
The police do not interfere much with
Chinese gambling, chiefly because they
are hopelessly baked in striving to
match wits with the oriental.

DIR. FLEXNER FINDS
MUCH SOUGHT GERM
Isolates MicroOrganism Of In
fantile Paralysis and
Transmits 1t.
ABLE TO SEE THE GERM

BALTIMORE, Oct. s-An important new
report by DIR. Simon F1exner. head OF the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
on infantlle paralysis was the feature on
the closing day Of the Johns Hopkins sill
yer jubilee celebration.
DIR. Flexner's addition TO what he has
already said publicly about his work on
infantlle paralysis was tho statement
that he had definitely succeeded
In transmitting the disease to monkeys
with the microorganism which he had
previously said he thought was the cause
OF the disease
The fact that he had at last succeeded
In transmitting the disease by means OF
this microorganism which he had cult
waited. proved beyond doubt that he had
Isolated the germ
Or. Flexner also said that he had found
1t possible to see the cell clearly under
a microscope of high power. Formerly
this had been considered impossible. 1t ia
Mt least five times smaller than any other
known bacteria, said DR.. Flexner.
The doctor said he believed that the
disease was transmitted through the
respiratory channels rather than by in
scots. as some have held, and he advanced
the theory that perfectly healthy per-
sons often carried the germ in their
bodies and infected children: that there
were Carriers" of Infantile paralysis Just
as IL is known that there are carriers
OF typhoid and dlphtheria. who while
transmitting these diseases to Others, do
not suffer from them themselves
Physicians who heard Or. F7exner's
lecture said that II was an extremely
important one to medical science In that
II broke ground in an entirely new field
OF medicine-the field OF diseases whose
germs would pass through filters and
had in the past been thought invisible
even under microscopes. Scarlet fever
and measles are in this class
