Oyster Starts Campaign to
Clean Out one-Night
Stands in City.

A campaign against one-nlgnt
gambling stands, products OF 2
Maryland gambling house which
has been closed for several weeks,
has been launched by Commits
sioner James F. Oyster, in charge
Of the police department.
Information has been placed in
the hands of the Commissioners
that professional gamblers are
opening and. closing games nightly
in an effort to avoid the police.
The gamblers will go to one house
one night, another the next and
so on.
CAUGHT Five i'm Net.
The. Commissioner believes that
he frustrated the plans Of one group
when police Of the Ninth precinct
made five arrests last week charging
those taken into custody with per-
hitting gambling.
the zone night stands" came to
Commissioner Oyster last week. He
was told the gamblers were operas-
ing near Seventh and K streets
northeast. Police of the Ninth
precinct were instructed to be on
the look out:
Capt. L. j. StoIl,, of the Ninth
precinct, forwarded to Commissioners
Oyster today a report made by
Lieut.. Guy E. Burlingame, which
covers the gambling situation. The
reports follows:
Captain Stoll,
"Sir: Several nights ago Com
missioner Oyster telephoned me in
reference to a complaint he had re-
ceived in regard to gambling going
on in the vicinity of Seventh and K
streets northeast.
Hard to Catch.
1.-THE Commissioner directed me to
make an investigation and let him
hear the result. In compliance with
this order make the following re-
port to you, in order that you in
turn may inform the Commissioner
of our success.
"A careful investigation Of the
neighborhood around Seventh and
X failed to show any signs of gam
bling upon that corner, but we have
found and raided games in the imme-
diate vicinity, as follows: sos Tenth
street northeast, 329 H street north
east and Gal l. street northeast, with
the following results:
August Is, arrested Earl F. Reag.
an, and George D. Ellis, charged
T..
feited $25; August %, arrested Ralph
Charles Green, all Of whom forfeited
800.
1.-THE last three are products of a
Maryland gambling house which has
been closed for a few weeks, since
which time they have been operating
in this city. They will meet at a
house in this precinct tonight and
tomorrow night the game will come
off in some other section Of the city,
doing one night stands, making il
hard to catch up with them.
To Continue Cleanup.
From the method of operating I
am of the opinion that these are the
parties complained of to the Com.
missioners, as the game last night
was only one block from Seventh and
K streets.
Attention will continue to be
given as to Seventh and K as we'll as
all other parts of the precinct in an
effort to stamp out this altogether
too prevalent habit of gambling"
Commissioner oyster has instruct.
ed captains of all precincts to be on
the lookout for these one-night
stands.
IF the one-night stands are ope=.
ating in the precincts and the police
of the precincts cannot locate them,
! will send in special agents in search

SWOONING LADIES.

John Frinarchi, this city,
thought he had bought himself
wife for $3.50. When he had paid
over the money she swooned and
when he went to get a swoon
restorative she disappeared with
the dough. Her plan was just
a little different from those
who go on with a marriage,
swoon or cry afterward when
they want money, and get it.

ny OONAAO 4COOOO4ADs
Funny things are bound to
happen at American League Park
when the cops and smoke eaters
come together. Some traffic cop
is going to get absent-minded and.
pinch q fireman for speeding
when he's diving for home. Then
he's going into court and tell
the Judge that the smoke eater
skidded fifteen feet before he
came to q stop at the plate.
If there In traffic cop play
ing first base, he'll probably set
up a gogo sign there, and when
q fireman bangs out a home run,
he'll have to wait for the signal
before he makes q left hand turn
at the; sack. IL he makes the
turn without holding out his hard,
the cop'll get him anyhow.
Any player appearing on the
field without his club letter on
the back Of his shirt will be sent
around to the station to- put up
collateral for not having any
rear tag.
Base runners will have to slow
up to twelve miles an hour at
interesting base lines or some
outfielder cop will send them
around to No. 8.
A player sprinting for home
must be careful to. avoid cOlliding
with the catcher, or he'll have to
dig up $40.
Or maybe the catcher will get
a ticket for, blocking traffic.
Talking about, tickets, have you
got yours yet? If you haven't,
then the next cop or fireman you
run across. let on you're an old
time street car conductor and say,
Tickets, please"
He'll say, How many?" Then
you say. ''Oh, two or six. I
guess I'll take the kids along"
The cops have been giving us
tickets long enough. It's only
fair we should buy this time.
Some Nerve.
There's a bird down at Num-
Der Two that sells 'em only in
blocks Of SIX. He sells to pedes-
TRANS. cyclists, motorists
airplanes don't get by him. Talk
about your high-flyers! He sold
two tickets to a certain bank
president the other day. Then
he took a long breath and sold
him four more.
Look here" said the b. D.,
eff you can sell goods the way
you sell tickets, you're wasting
your time on the police force"
ST guess prob'ly you're right"
said the cop. ''how about taking
six more?"
TIN be a great game, and the
widows and orphans need the
money. Their husbands and IA
theirs worked-and died-while
you slept. Give yourself a dDu-
ble-barreled treat with a bunch
of tickets. Come on. Play ballt
Well, see you at the game. So

ton.
A pipe line five feet in diameter
will carry the fluid to a community
of more than 100000 people at the

How big a part has love played in your life? Ii you
had it to do over again, would you trade it for a million dol
larsq Do you consider that life would be worth living, with
out love?
These semiphilosophical angles of love do not bother
the young lovers in the accompanying pen-plcture by ARTIST
Satterfeld. As they sit in the moonlight, they plan for the
future, but they exist only the present. Love IS blind and
without reason, being an emotional phenomenon that mel
lows with time into a spiritual exalation.
Therell be more than a million marriages in the United
States this year, so at least 100000 of the couples sitting in
the moonlight Gas in Satterfelds picture) are drifting to-
ward the most important decision that ever comes to man
or Woman-marrlage.
It'd be a good idea for the lovers if they kept in mind
the Importance of that decision. Marry in haste, repent in
leisure. So runs an old saying.
Socrates had a theory that the soul, when It comes into
the world, is torn in two pieces-a man and a woman. The
parted halves wander about seeking each other. Ii they
find the right half, fair weather ahead. If they get some
one else's half. the weather forecast is cold and stormy.
Girls especially should venture into matrmony cautious
", remembering that the old superstition about moon mad
ness probably had something to do with love. II you get the
right half, nothing else matters much. Socrates knew. He
got the wrong half-Xanthippe, the scold.
