POLICE CONDUCT POOLS.
Authorities in New York
Handling Race-track Events
Says Dope.
BY HAL SHERIDAN.
(Written for the United Press)


NEW' YORK, March 20.-New
Workers who play the races telephon-
ed their bets to police headquarters
the other day and were sore birds
when the ponies they picked as win
ners failed to fatten their bank rolls.
In its crusade against betting the
police department has gone in the
pool room business-at least that's
the way the betters have 1t doped.
A pair OF detectives from headquar-
ters sat at the phone in an office in
William street, got all the informa-
tion from betting headquarters and
received about fifty bets from clients
who stand we'll enough to bet mark
ers."
Some of these bets were on win
ners. and 1t was the howl brought out
by the lucky ones which brought out
true facts. They are calling the
cops welchers.
When the days races ended the po-
lice had collected all the information
they wanted. The regular pool rooms
are down on the police lists and
raids galore were in prospect.
A few weeks back it looked like
efforts to interest women in boxing
hereabouts had failed. But the 9TH |
er night, when 200 of the faminine
fans gathered at Sixty-nine Regiment
army to witness a boxing tournament
in aid of the city's poor pessimists
changed their spiel and agreed that
beskirted ringside bugs will be able
to master the game pretty soon. The
was for charity, and that
brought a lot of women who other
wise would not have attended, but
the simon pure boxing microbe stung
some of the girls, at that.

Homesteaders Will Have an
Opportunity to File on
$4,000 Acres.
THE MOST OF 1T SAND HILLS
The Land is in Finney, Haskell, Grant,
kearny and Hamilton Counties
Along Arkansas River.

The Kansas forest reserve in Fin
ney, Haskell, Grant, Kearny and Ham
flton counties will be open for settle
ment December 1, according to no
tees received at the government land
office at Dodge City. The land is in
the jurisdiction of the Dodge City
Land office and entries must be filed
there. All entries filed between No
vember I and November % will be
considered as filed December 1, and
taken up in their order, while those
filed after November &c will be con-
sidered later.
The reserve comprises 13S, 900 acres
along the south bank of the Arkansas
river. About 5000 acres will be main
tanned as a reserve for the protection
of wild animals in the country. A
small part of the land can be culti-
waited. Most of it is made up of sand
hills and is suitable only for grazing.
The land will be open for settlement
under the new homestead act that al
lows 800 acres to be taken by each
settler. Seven months residence
each year is required, but the rule re-
Quiring certain amounts of land to be
cultivated with definite periods may
be waived because so much land Is
valueless for farming.

MAKING Attest OF ROAD OIL
More johnson County Highways Will
be Coated If Present Experiment
is Successful.

Johnson County, Kansas, is making
thorough test of road oiling. The
main travelled highway between
Olathe, the county seat, and Lenexa,
seven miles northeast-a part of the
old Santa Fe Trail-has been graded
and rolled and treated with three coats
of OIL The future fate of oiling opera
tions in Johnson County depends upon
the behavior of this road. If it stands
up during the winter months, then the
county commissioners have promised
to extend the network of county roads
and to conduct a general campaign of
oiling between trade centers.
The Lenexa-Olathe stretch is the
first extensive piece of oiled dirt high
way in the county. Road oil has been
used in Mission Township for small
distances. but most of the oil hereto
fore has been put down on rock roads,
and its object simply was to lay the
dust.
In this premier test of road oiling
every advantage has been given the
oil. The road has been carefully
brought to grade, sloping crown form
ed and bitches cut to furnish adequate
drainage. New culverts were placed,
fills made and all distractions re-
moved. Then the road surface was
rolled. The best grade of road oil
was purchased, and the oil allowed
time to thoroughly soak into the soil
before an additional coat was supplied.
The oiled stratum is from one to two
inches in thickness.
An outlay of considerable county
money was necessary for the roadmak-
ing outfit. When motive power for the
big grader became { serious problem,
the commissioners did not hesitate to
pay out more than $4,000 for an oil
burning tractor.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in q hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when, it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainabie thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii persist in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
