Here is nimble essay by Mr.. Win
chell Smith setting forth, with con-
siderable animation, some wholesome
thoughts about the gaming table.
THE Wheel"'is its title, ard under
that engaging caption MIR. Smith
marshals several likable persons, en-
ploying them later in adventures which
story is credible; its recital by Sir.
Smith and his actors is workmanlike,
and it is to be regarded altogether as
an effective If not an intoxicating
comedy. It's aim is to please, and incl
dentaliy, very incidentally, perhaps, to
teach us that Fortune is in its most
capricious mood when in the neighbour
hood of tho little bail.

Mr. Smiths prejudices in the matter
are not the arbitrary opinions Of the
bigot While deploring roulette as an
institution inimical to the home life,
he emphasizes the fact that it's
shrewder practitioners (the profess
sionals) may plausibly be noble men.
Therefore into the narrative of "The
Wheel" he introduces Mr.. Thomas W.
Ross to impersonate most persuasively
an upright gamester, who is not averse,
when romance calls, to deeds of mag
nanimity. In fact, Mr. Ross goes so
far into tho great lengths OF the drama
as to sacrifice himself and his profess
sion to save from ruin the weak hus
band Of the young woman be loves
In this helpful process Mr.. Ross,
rather quiet and sententious, inveigles
the weak husband to his private gam
bling rooms, arranged for the purpose,
there to give him a salnbrious lesson.

Republicans Plan
Majority in Next
Aldermanic Board
Hope to Garry Enough Dis
tricts in Manhattan and
Brooklyn Under Reappor-
tiOnment to Get Control

Local Republican leaders thought
they saw yesterday in the reapportion-
,nent bill which the Legislature passed
in its last hours over the veto of Mayor
Hylan an opportunity TO put their party
in control OF the Board OF Aldermen
next year. Under the bill addermanic
districts would be made identical with
Assembly districts, and the board
would be cut from sixty-seven 60 sixty
five members, assuring the Republicans,
it was said, Of several new seats.
II this proves to be good ReDub-
lican year, es we expect" said one Of
of the trainers Of the reapportionman
bin yesterday, ave ought to elect a
majority of aldermen from Manhattan
this fall and gain control of the board.
Roughly, we should elect aldermen from
the 9Th, 7th. 9th, 10th, 1ith, 18th, 18th,
deYmanic districts. This would give
the Republicans thirteen out Of twcn 4y-
four aldermen in Manhattan. The re-
districuing in Brooklyn and the other
boroughs promises to send moro Re
publican members to the board"
Under the reapportionment, three
Democratic alder,naric districts were
cut out OF Manhattan, making the total
twenty-four instead OF twenty-seven.
At present there are fifteen Democrats.
eleven Republicans and one Socialist
in the board from Manhattan. In Kings
the new alignment adds one district
which is expected to fall to the Repub-
licans. Jacob Livingston, Republican
leader Of Kings, has also promised to
increase the Republican forces in the
board by several members at the COM
Ing election. There are thirteen Re-
publicans, nine Democrats and two So
cialists in the existing board from
Brooklyn. One district was added in
Queens under the new alignment which
is claimed by the Republicans. There
are three Democratic and two Rcpubli-
can aldermen from that borough in the
present board. The Bronx and Rich
mond weres not changed under the re-
apportionment. The Bronx has seven
Democrats and one Socialist in the
board now, and Richmond has three
Democrats. The Republicans rely on
the reapportionment in the three other
boroughs to shift tho majority.

thought Buster as he stood up at the

and Woof- WooT. "They would make

OF course, this was very dreadful

Man Out After 9 ALWAYS

Agent Regularly Gets Up, Runs

for Eviction. Court Saws No

When John Pfiuger, agent Of an
apartment house at 1884 jerome Ave
nae, the Bronx, appeared as complain
ant in suit to evict Silas K Straus. a
tenant, Justice William Norris, of the
I'd District Municipal Court, wanted TO
know why.
"Well, your honor" said Pduger, che
disturbs my slumbers."
How does he do it?" asked the mag
istrate.
s'de lives ON the third hoor,~ said
Pfuger. "and live on the second floor,

comes in off goes the burglar alarm,
and I don't know whether I've caught a
hurglar or whether it's just Straus.
That burglar alarm makes SO much
noise that it can be heard three blocks.
1t wakes up all the tenants in the
building, and they're all kicking"
"What do you do when the alarm
goes off," demanded Judge Morris.

Mrs. Beax IS = very wise mother.
One Of the Arst things she taught hey
twins was that safety is the first and
most important thing. Then she
taught them that it is better to run
away FROM possible danger than to
wait to make sure Of the danger.
"No harm comes Of running away"
said she, "but if you wait you may
discover your danger too late to run.
1t is better to run away = hundred
times without cause than to be too
late once in time Of real danger"
So when the twins suddenly came
face to face with Buster Bear for the
first time they did just tho right
thing. For second or two they
stared at him in frightened surprise;
then they turned and ran.
Do you think it queer that the twins
didn't know their own father? And
do you think it even more queer that
Buster Bear didn't know his own chill
dren? Just remember that they had
never seen him and he had never seen
them before. For more than two
months after they we're born thew
hadn't been out from under that great
windfall in the Green Forest. When
they did come out Buster Bear had
--SA IA eeAOe3CA p&kt VI tNc IrccQ
Forest. Mother Bear had warned him
to keep away from that windfall and
Buster had obeyed. So Boxer and
Woof-Woof had known nothing about
Buster Bear and Buster had known
nothing about the twins
Now, when Buster ssw those cubs.
not knowing they we're his own, he
was filled with sudden anger. He
didn't want any more Bears in the
Green Forest. He wanted the Green
Forest just for himself and Mrs. Bear.
Those young Bears were likely to
make great deal Of trouble. Any
way, they would need a lot Of food.
and this would mean that it would be
just 80 much harder for him to eet
enough to satisfy his own big appe-
t;te. So. after the first surprised
stare, Buster growled. 1t was
grumhly, rumbly grcwl deep down in
his saroat. The twins heard ii as they
started to run and it was the most
awful sound they ever had heard.
Straight to The nearest tall tree ran
the twins, and up they scrambled
