Inhabitants of many South Ameri-
can countries are beginning to walk
ON American rubber soles and heels,
according to a report to the Depart
ment of Commerce. The report says,
the value of exports of rubber heels
and soles from the United States to
South America has increased from
S72,5S1 during the year of 1921 to
S77.4SS during his first eight months
of 1922. This is remarkable because
of the decreased exports to Brazil
which was our largest South Ameri
can market for these products IN
1920 and 1921. The manufacture Of
rubber heels is carried on quite ex-
tensivelv in Brazil. however. the pro-
duct is of an inferior quality to the
American article, its low selling
prdce makes it a connective factor
to be reckoned within the present
state of Brazilian exchange and the
uercentage of the trade supplied by
importation has decreased considera-
bly, as a result
Argentina is the next largest mar
ket in South America for rubber
soles and heels. Export figures
shows that Argentina purchases in
this class Of product from the Uni
ted States in 1920 were $50, no.
while the figures are not riven For
| 1921 it is reported that considera-
HE increase over the 1920 figure. and
if the present rate of evr0rtatiNu
continues. the total for 1922 will be
double the value for 1921 exports

OF
SLOT MACHINES
BEFORE COURT
Will Decide Friday Whether
Or Not They Are
Illegal.
NINE IN COURT TODAY
Defendants Give 500 Bond Pending
DecisiOn-City Manager Rich Ex-
presses Himseli Materially OPP
posed To Opera eu Of Machines.

The question of whether or not
certain nickle in the slot machines
are gambling devices, which are now
being operated in the city, came up
today before Civil and Police Justice
Frederick G. Duvall when nine store
keepers at whose places machines
were alleged to be in operation, were
cited into the police court. After
hearing testimony in all of the cases,
where the police played the ma
chimes, Justice Duvall at the instance
of Attorney Charles Henry Smith
postponed the cases until next Friday
at which time Attorney Charles
Henry Smith, who represents two Of
those cited( will argue the case.
Justice Duvall stated that before
giving his decision he desired to look
up some authorities. Attorney
Smith stated that in his opinion the
case simply is one as to whether or
not the machines in question are
gambling devices
All of the defendants were re-
CURED to furnish bond in the sum of
500 each. Two of the machines
were brought into court and exhibited
Visits were made by Chief Goods,
Sergt. Campbell and Policeman Mag
ner to the nine places where the ma
chimes were and they played at all
of the places where they found them.
According to their testimony some
of the machines had gum in them
and some did not, and checks also
were given out by the machines in
the event what was known as 2.
"lucky" strike was made. The
checks it was explained could be
used back in the machine OF they
could be used to make purchases at
the stores
Two of the machines gave out
minis instead of gum. Several of the
machines were licensed by the city.
Partially all of the machines with
one exception were owned by parties
others than those operating the
stores.
The decision of the court in tho
cases will be awaited with consider
able interest.
Those cited were: John Arlington,
lis South Union street; James Wood,
IS King street; Richard Jackson. co !
ored; George Nails, 2l2 Franklin
street; P. J. Bremen, 524 South Al
fred street; Fred Brown, cOlored, 4Of

City Manager Wilder NJ. Rich, who
was present at the hearing, express
ed himself as unalterably opposed to
the operation of these machines as
he says it give the children the gam
