PARI-MUTUEL SWINDLE
DISCOVERED At BOWIE

1t was discovered yesterday at
Bowie that a gang of Cuban swim
dlers, who have operated for some
years on racetracks where the pari-
mutuel system of speculating is in
vogue. have been at work at the
Maryland course. Three fake mutuel
tickets. printed so cleverly that it was
next to impossible for the shrewdest
cashier to oetect the fraud. were pass
ed, resulting in loss to the man
agement of s146.70.
The Bowie tickets were copied and
the number corresponding with that
used for a race on Tuesday pasted
on the little cardboards SO cleverly
that it was not noticeable. A calcula-
tor, in going over his sheet with a
ticket checker. discovered that more
tickets had been cashed than sold on
race Tuesday. Detectives are now
working on the case.
A scheme similar to that discovered
at Bowie has been worked success
fully at many of the big tracks. Last
fall at Laurel Park it was put over.

THE FOUNDERS OF NEW HAVEN

The first citizens of the future city Of New Haven landed on the shore of New Haven Bay PSI years ago today, April 15, 1888. Rev. John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton were the lead CTS of the company from London which settled the-Connecticut city. They arrived in Boston on the Hector in 1887. and MT. Eaton headed party which explored the lands and harbors of Connecticut along the Sound. They finally selected Quini- piack, as the Indians called the site Of the future city, for their settle ment, and in the following April the party landed and erected the rude log huts which were the beginning of the city. They purchased land from the Indians in and about New Haven, and in the following year a general election of colonists was held and Eaton was elected governor. New Haven formed a. separate colony until 1862, when it became a part Of Connecticut. New Haven received its charter in 1764. and for a long time prior to 1873 it was one of the State capitals. In the latter year the State constitution was amended. and all sessions of the General Assembly have since been held in Hartford.

CLAIM MIN|NG MORE DEADLY
 THAN WARFARE

London, April 15. CCorrespon- dence of the Associated Press) )-NTin- ing Is more deadly than war, de- clared John Robertson at the gov ernment's inquiry into the coal in dustry of Great Britain. Robertson is chairman of the Scottish Union of Mine Workers.
 The extent of the danger to the miner is not realized even in the mining districts" he said. There are 1,0OO,OO0 persons employed in and about British coal mines. In the ten years from 1907 to 1916 there was a total of 12, 400 men killed, or an average each year of 1 ,24O. In the last twenty years the yearly average of accidents was about 16O,0O0 or a total of about 3.25O,OO0. The minc is always on active service; he is a . ways in the trenches"
 It was stated that in one mining district there were 2,768 persons liv- ing more than five in a single room, 1,237 more than six to a, room, 510 more than seven to a, room, and 190 more than eight to a room.
 Think of the conditions in these single rooms" the witness continued: Pit clothes drying in front of the HI Q Ill ILIS b1lll0 LOOlIl NI46l ll4G f. mily sleep; sickness, ancouchment. Low can the children have a chance after the woman has spent her day cleaning? The miners come home from work, and it has all got to be done over again. Do we wonder that the women folk lose heart?"
 Arthur BaIfour, an industrial eX- pert, representing the government said to the wit ess: If the condi- tions are as you say, they must be righted"; and representative of the coal owners said he entirely agreed that something must be done.
 Asked by MT. Balfour to what he attributed the high cost of living in the mining districts, the witness an swerad: "Profiteering."
 T think prices are too high" he went on, because natural wealth is in the hands of individuals. and the worker gets a very, very small share"
 Are not prices too high Mir. Bal four asked, lowing to the restriction of production?"
 "No," the witness replied, .'the worker, in my opinion. does too much. No one can accuse the work CT of underworking. What we have to solve is the question of distribu- tion."

NORWEGIAN PRESS BLAMES AMERICA

Christiania, April (Correspon- dence of The Associated Press)- Failure of America to come to an agreement with Norwegian shipown- CTS. regarding the requisitio7 of ship building contracts placed in America. which has for two years caused a steadily increasing bitterness among business men Is now coupled with distrust as to the American govern ments methods of dealing with small nations and is unanimously and se- verely criticised by the whole Nor wegian press.
 In answer to the criticism, the American Legation publishes a state nent defending the United States Skipping Boards unwiliingness to meet the Norwegian demands for payment of contracts at market value. It Is stated here that the American shipping board offers to pay only for material and steel on hand whom the United States govern raent requisitioned the ships under construction.
 The Morgenb1adet. whose editor Is a member of parliament, denounces American methods and declares that Ameriea should pay fuli market value of the whole contract, especiaI- Iy as Norway's rights are, he says, protected by tke treaty of 1927.
 It is asserted that the s12,600, 900 offered for settlement only covers half the cost of direct initial outlay by Norwegians, and only quarter the cost entaiied at the time of re Quisitioning the shipbuiiding con- tracts. This, it is charged, is Con trary to the way America settled for British Contrac cts requisitiened in the United States.
 Although America can force Ter decision she cannot prevent Nerve gians from calling this procedure un- fair and unbusiRessiike, the Nor genbladet adds.

THE EFFICIENCY
 OF ADVERTISING

Any trade method that merchants have found helpful over long period of years, is pretty apt to be based on sound economic law. Therefore the people who claim that advertising adds to the cost of goods, have got to explain away the fact that for gen. erations the most enteTprising bus mess men have consis ently used ed- vertising.
 The writer was recently looking over the files of a newspaper that has been published a. full century. Way back before the Civil war, that paper was publishing a lot of advertising. Almost any of the old papers would make a similar showing.
 The people that feel that advertis- ing is valueless are attacking one of the foundation principles Of business success. It will be interesting in this little series of discussions, to consider what trade conditions would be in a non advertising community, and how the introduction of advertising spirit affects sales, prices, and service.
