POLICE ARREST SIX
 IN GAMBLING RAID
Ry Blosser

A raid on labor hall at 23s East Washington street early yesterday morning resulted in the arrest of six men, charged with gambling. The find ing of a quantity of whiskey provided a second charge which must be an swered by the keeper of the game, J. R. Bailey. Bailey furnished $500 bail on the gambling count and $l00 on the liquor charge. The participants in the game were each required to furnish $50 bail.
 Slipping quietly upon the lookout stationed outside at 3:30 o'clock Sun day morning, the police seized and quickly silenced him, after which they lost no time in entering the room, where they found a poker game in progress Four and 4one-half pints of white corn whiskey were taken by the police and the various hands and chips which each player held at the time of interruption were preserved and taken to police headquarters intact.
 The raid was conducted by Night Captain Lee F. Sutherland. assisted by Patrolmen Edwards, Blake and Mc- cloud. The men will be tried at 4 o'clock this afternoon in police court.

CAMPAIGN ID RID CITY IF WASHER"
 PEST IS STARTED

After hearing in police court the story of two girls who had been fol- lowed and insulted by "mashers. Chief of Police Brisbois has instructsn his officers to begin an active cam paign against the public pest that perslstently annoys women and girls with unwelcome attentions.
 There are many varieties of this spiecies of the male, which may be divided into two common classes: the high brow and the Iow-brow. The greatest distinction between the two is the possession of motor car and the method of approach. The former chases down his prey in a high powered ma chine and is very suave in his uncon- ventional invitation, while the latter stalks afoot and generally tries to ef- feet a conquest with some such naive remark as:
 Say kid, where va goin' ?''-
 Perhaps the more deadly of the two is the high brow and his motor car. While the ha-flirt may have no per- sonal attraction, the allurement of a cooling ride is often too great a tempt ation for an easily persuaded girl to resist. She generally realizes her mis- take when something happens to the car far out on some lonely highway. The method is old and crude, but it adds new victims every cay.
 "The best thing for a girl to do
 when 9 strange notorist or any
 other man accosts her is to report the natter to the poiice," advises Chief Brisbois. -rIhe city streets
 must be kept safe for women and
 girls"
 Because he has no motor car to use as an attractive hait,. the perepetetis resorts to many devices and subter- fuges to sensnare his victim. He haunts | he dance halls and picture shows. He | hangs around busy street corners and ogles every girl that passes him. He 1 is to be found lingering over a drink ] in a confectionery or drug store which attracts liberal feminine patronage And at each place his method of ap- l proach is different.
 The dance halls afford the "malt vamp" some of his best opportunities | There he finds certain laxity of con ventionality which paves his way and 1 if he is skilled in the terpischorean ar his conquests are facilitated, At the picture show you will notice hin glance carefully about upon entering then select a seat next to that occu ! pied by one of the fair sex. In com menting upon this type Chief Bris- 1 bois said
