Devices and Make First Arrest
On Second Avenue.
DICE SHAKING Is HELD O. K.
Chief of Police Says Only Games

Doomed From Counters.

With the arrest this morning of
Robert Desmond, proprietor of the
Detroit radiator shop at Second
avenue and Fifteenth street, Rock
Island, police launched a new cam
paign against gambling devices
said to be in operation in many
stores throughout the city:
Desmond had installed a ma
chine at the Royal pool hall at
Second avenue and Sixteenth,
street and was leasing it on a COM
mission basis so he told Magistrate
c. J. Smith in police court this
morning.
It's not a gambling machine"
Desmond said, because you see
everything you get. l refuse to
plead guilty to charge Of operat-
ing gambling devices
It's gambling device and
nothing else" Phil Miller. chief OF
police, said
You can't prove that it's any
thing else" said Magistrate Smith.
Desmond was placed under
bonds amounting to 5000 and is to
have a hearing Saturday.
Starts Campaign.
Il will not tolerate the opera
ton of gambling machines in Rock
Island" chief Miller said today
We put them all out of business
some time ago when We made a
cleanup of the city's pool halls and
cigar stores.
The city ordinances call for the
arrest of anyone implicated in the
or operation of such
and l am going to see
that they are not operated"
What about dice shaking and
dice cards now used in practically
every cigar store in the city," was
asked of Miller.
Dice? We don't mind a little
thing like that. 1T the gambling
machines we're after" he replied.

SUGGEST NIGHT

State Defense Council Urges Addi'
tiOnal Session to Permit Aliens
to Learn L. 5. Language.

Every man, woman and child in
the state OF Illinois may be English
speaking, no matter the country OF
birth, if the legislature acts upon
the recommendations of the state
council Of defense for the teaching
OF English to aliens in the public
schools.
The resolution adopted by the
council, which has been forwarded
to Springfield, suggests that even
ing classes be made a part of the
general scheme of education of the
state. 1t is as follows:
Because the Americanization OF
aliens is greatly advanced when
they acquire familiarity with the
common language of our country
and because this acquisition of our
language is helpful to every indi-
vidual in every industry and great
ly lessons liability to accidents, it
is the sense of this council that the
general scheme Of public education
throughout the state should, by
means of evening classes in the
public schools and otherwise. pro-
vide for encouraging and facilitat-
ing acquisition of the English Ian
guage by aliens who have come
here after passing the age of COM
pulsory attendance at school,"
The state council at the same
time recommended to the state law
makers the advisability of expand
ing vocational training in the
schools of the state and of inClud-
ing in the curriculum of all ele-
mentary schools courses designed
to teach pupils the habits of clean
illness, temperance and the care OF
the body, and to tell them of the
need to maintain the public health
as an obligation of citizenship.

So FAR as clothes are concerned, the

to the flapper. A few years ago she

The spirit of youth is rampant in
all the new fashions. Joyously, reck-

The whole glad world is rejuvenated
through peace. The days Of mourning

the psychological reaction has swept
through everything pertaining to wom-
ans apparel. Every woman looks ten
years younger because tie hearts OF
the world are glad with the spirit OF
hope. Young hearts demand young

our raw materials are produced only

months to come from the Far East.
Then we mad to recruit and train
