Gambling In Winslow.

sident of Winslow has written
the sheriff's office from Los An
geles, using Rosslyn hotel sta
tlonary, stating there was gam
bling going on in this city, and
complaining that the deputy
sheriff, Ed. Gardner, did not
make any effort to arrest the
malefactors. Sheriff Newman
referred the communication to
Mr.. Gardner for his statement
of the facts.
The party who wrote the COM
munication had better take few
minutes off from his regular job
if he has one and read the statute
on the question of gambling be-
fore entering complaints about
an officer not doing his duty.
For his information we will say
that the only man who can be
arrested and prosecuted under
our gambling law is the operator
of the game, who is taking a
rake-off, and it must be proven
by competent witness that is a
rake-Otf game. The writer of
the anonymous letter is not the
only wise boy in town. There
are a number of people, of which
the editor is one, who know there
is now and has been for some
time gambling going on, and
just where the games are locat-
ed, but unless a fellow sits in,
loses a little money, gets sore
and is willing to squeal, it is next
to impossible to prove it is a
rakeoff game, or who is the
actual operator.
For the benefit of the cores
pondent we will say the Winslow
Mail is anxious to get the dope
on any gambling operator, and
if he will come to the front with
sworn information against any
individual whoever he may be,
we will guarantee to give the
gambler all the free advertising
he wants. and the sheriff. office,
and Deputy Gardner will see that
he has an opportunity to explain
himself in court. Our present
gambling law was passed solely
for the purpose of Wiping out
open gambling, and not for the
purpose of suppressing gam
bling, as poker playing was con-
sidered at the time one of the
cardinal principles of a true
Arizonian. An effort is now be-
ing made in the present legisla-
ture to amend the law to include
the players in game, and even
the owner of the building in
which game is being run. If
this law is passed it will be an
easy matter to break up the
operation of quiet poker joints.

under war conditions which are the
worst possible conditions
The Kitchen proper consists of a
10 horse power steam boiler, two 90
gaiion stew, soup or potroast kettles,
and two so gallon coffee urns. The
Kettles and urns are heated both by
steam jackets and by live steam in
lection. At the demonstration at
Camp Yale coffee was boiled, from
dead cold, in less than six minutes.
So compact and we'll planned is the
arrangement that the Taft Kitchen,
with two cooks, displaces two com
pany kitchen units of eighty men and
forty horses. Two of these mobile
units will feed a full regiment, either
in camp or on the march. Being ca
pable of a speed of almost fifteen
miles an hour the unit can proceed
its battalion on the march, cooking q
meal on the road, and be ready to
serve hot food Immediately the batal-
hon halts. When the troops en-
train the kitchen is put on flat car
and goes right on cooking.
There is another way in which the
Taft Unit is an immeasurable i'm
provement over the old methods-in
the cleaning of mess kits after meals.
Anyone who has ever seen company
of Soldiers all trying to clean their
kits in three iron kettles full of
grease, pieces Of unused food and a
little warm water will realize what a
blessing unlimited boiling water and
live steam will be.
1t is planned to add to the equip
ment a six k1owatt generator to be
operated by the Riker Truck engine.
This would furnish sufficient current
for a 40 candle power lamp in the
tent of each officer, for twelve
inch searchlight and for field WIRE
less apparatus.

Hotel Type Unit Mounted On Riker Truck Will Serve

A new type of Mobile Army Kitchen
WAS demonstrated recently at New
Haven. on Yale Field. Seventeen
hundred and Afty men of the 102nd
Infantry were fed in less than an
hour. The new kitchen will serve
three hot meals day to force of
Ssooo men and can provide enough
coffee for 1000 men every 10 min
Mites.
Tns Taft Army Field Kitchen. as
the unit has been christened, is prac-
ttcally steam hotel kitchen mounted
ON d motor truck. 1T is the inven-
tion OF ]. G. LAWN, manager of the
Hotel Taft Associated with him in
the development OF his fdea were ..
", Bradford, who supplied the RfKer
I1>ack chassis on which the unit is
mounted, and HI. D. Baldwin who
: built the body. The idea of building
really efficient army kitchen came
to Mr.. LAWN during visit to the
Plattsburg Camp OF 1916. The wasts-
ful ana unsanttary methods OF .sva
Evaporation he saw, there determined
him to devote his knowledge and skill
to the building Of a model Army
Kitchen.
How well Mr.. Lawn has succeeded

BRIDGEPORT IS
FIFTH HIGHEST
SUICIDE tow

Out of 100 American cities Hartford
stands thirtieth in the suicide record
of 1916. The Bridgeport rate was fifth
highest. This information is included
in an article appearing in THE Spec
tator,p a weekly insurance journal.
Frederick L. Hoffman, the author
of the article, says there has been a
marked reduction in the rate of sui
cidal frequency in communities with a
normally low rate and attributes this
to the effect of social and economic
changes brought about by the war
Zone of the most interesting facts
brought OUT he says. lis the signif-
cant rise in the suicide rate of Bridge
port, which during recent years has
become a most important center of
the ammunition industry" He says
further: 1.-THE Bridgeport rate dur
ing 1916 was the fifth highest out of
100 American cities, or 1928 per 100000
| of population, against an average Of
17.e per 100,0 900 for all Of the cities con-
sidered as a group. The Bridgeport
rate during 1916 increased lilo per
loo, 600 population, or 50.2 per cent. 1t,
of course, is possible that the rate for
1916 Is not entirely trustworthy in
view of the serious difficulty Of esti-
mating accurately the present popu-
lation. 1t may, however, fbe said in
this connection that the actual num-
Der of suicides in Bridgeport increased
from 30 in 1915 to 40 In 1916"
