There are no fees at this school
for croupiers. for the pupils have
already been admitted into the
close corporation Of the men with
the marble faces. and when they
pass out they do so with the as
surance of q job at one or other Of
the many casinos in France.
But, az in other schools. there
are good pupils and bad pupils.
1t is not exactly case OF "the
quickness OF the hand deceiving

q good coupler. and they are kept
under very close inspection. To
be admitted into the school pro-
spective croupier has to be .
Frenchman and to have reached
his majority. But he has to show
much moro than that, The school
exacts that the pupil must have a
clean record; he must produce an
electors card. references from
previous employers, and a good
certificate showing he Is ''of good
morals, and has led an exemplary
life." To these ne must pin many
photographs. full face. right and

I have heard II said that a crou-
pier earns a minimum Of $4,000
francs per annum; but this Is not
accurate, for he receives no fixed
salary. He depends on his share
of what you drop into the wooden
box, when the fates have been
kind to you.
Rarely does one hear Of dis
honest croupier. He works long
hours. as you know. does the man

and summer season are each about

Miss Berlin.

1t wasn't long before his COM
rades began to tease Hamilton as
to when the wedding woula take
place. They suggested It be held
before they went overseas. That
would give them all a chance to
have happy party.
Hamilton placed the matter be-
fore Miss Berlin. She acQuiesced.
She, too, had been teased by her
companions in uniform about her
affection for the gallant youth
from Chicago.
No date, however, was set. The
marriage had been decided on. The
date was considered a detail that
could be suddenly determined on
when word came that Hamilton
would have to sail.

was doomed never to have a mar

Bird of Evil Omen
is Worrying Germany
BY KARL H. Won wIEGAND.

Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
BERLIN, MARCH IL.
THE Bird of EVIL Omen" has
again appeared in Germany.
Superstitious souls who feed their
minds on signs and portents are
much perturbed by the reappear-
ance Of this bird, which in years
past has always proven a hardin.
ger Of disaster.
The unwelcome guest is the
''wax-wing." bird indigenous to
the fir and birch forests north Of
the Arctic circle.
Nature has provided II with a
luxuriant coat of feathers, and 1t
II never known to leave 1t native
haunts unless driven south by un-
commonly heavy SHOWS. It has
now appeared In large numbers in
the lowlands bordering on the Bal
tic. where It is known to the
peasants by various names, such
as the bird of DEATH" the war
bird" or the bird Of plague"
The popular superstition Is
founded upon the fact that when
ever this bird migrated south
In large numbers Germany has
been overtaken by some stipend
GUS calamity during the following
year.
Thus, for example. large flocks
OF the wax-wing made their APP
pearance in the years 1S47, 1865.
1859 and 1913, and one only has
to turn back the pages Of history
to find that In 1S4s Germany was
torn by revolution; in 1866 cholera
swept over the country, claiming
thousands of victims; the year
1870 saw the beginning of the
Franco Prussisn feud, which fur
nished the fuel for the world con.
