WOMEN GAMBLERS
PLY TRADE ON THE
ATLANTIC LINERS
{By Associated Press)


New York, Sept. Il. Women
are replacing men gamblers
aboard ocean liners.
Little Eddie Mallon, the
watchdog of the piers, whose
job it is to ''spot'' going
gamblers, is authority for the
statement. He says the mea
claim they are going straight be-
cause they have found that trav-
elers are too careful and ship S
officers too Watchful.
Most Of the gamblers, says
Mallon, came to that conclusion
just about he time a White Star
captain sent a weil-known gam
bier to the detention hospital
aboard his ship following a spirit
ed little party in the smoking
room, when fists were brought
into action.
But where men have droppe I'd
cards and dice. women have tax
en- them up. The women are
known to Eddie and to other d
tectives who help him watch the
piers, but the problem is to
| catch them.
One big liner recently came in
+. to port and Eddie, as usual, met
it at Quarantine. He lost him
self as soon as he was aboar l
But by the time the liner hao
reacher the pier, he popped into
view, sore and disguised, with
disappointment easy to be reaC
in his face.
~ lost the Duchess again,
he grumbled.
/, His story was brief. He ha(
received a wireless tip that ther'
was a woman aboard, aristocrat''
and cultured; that she had bee.
! very sweet to several of the me'
passengers; that she had reluc
tantly consented to play bridg
practically every night at sea
that she had collected rathe
heavily at the end Of each sitting
/ II talked to about five mel
about her, continued Eddie
"and not one would complain
F! She was a woman, they said, an

So I had to let the Duchess
come ashore and she has jus
passed her baggage. She vii

find a bed. In the adjoining forest,
comprising 1900 acres Of state pre-

and shelters, where disabled men will
bunk in solid comfort, breathing the
air which can restore them to health.
Permission to use the preserve as
a hunting ground has been granted bS
the state; and at the main camp on
Big Tupper lake there will be bowl
ing alleys, motor boats and athletic
fields at the disposal of the patients.
Each Legion post In the state has been
given the chance to put up Its own
lean-to, men of that post to be given
precedence in occupancy. Twenty
thousand dollars has already been sub
scribed to the fund.
