Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-11

July, one of the two LATEST months Of the year, is a great
time for air castles. Artist Satterfeld, in the accompanying
pen-picture, shows you a familiar scene. A farm boy lounges
in the shade, on his back, gazes into the fleecy clouds, and
day-dreams.
The whole fctional world-of romance, adventure and
wealth-seems to him to be under his mastery. Power and
pleasure are up there in the clouds. Imaginary, OF course,
but very real to the boy.
Getting down to cold hard facts, the most important an
gle of this day-dreaming situation is that, while the farm lad
explores his castles in the air, his immediate job-weeding-
waits.
In a sense, this is ~allegorical. 1t portrays something
characteristics Of all of us, something that haunts us through
life and periodically semi-choloforms us into stagnation.
The farm lad, day-dreaming, has himself hypnotized.
So have the rest of us, most of the time we day-dream.
1t is all quite fine, to vision glorious castles in the air.
Such is a necessary part of ambition. And, no doubt, our
air castles inspire us to redoubled effort when we come out
of our trance.
But many of us waste SO much time daydreaming that
we have little time left for actual accomplishment.
We can dream so much of a better job that we neglect
the present or immediate job and thereby delay our progress
to the better job. While watching and envyng the man
above us on the next rung of the success ladder, let us not for
get the new conner on the rung below us who is after. the JOB
we hold now. /
This is a hard, material world-severely jolting to the
nerson who day-dreams to excess. There is such a thing as
too much ambiion-too many air castles.

CONCERTS AND BATHING BEACHES

Yes, we have no band concerts. And we have no municipal
bathing beaches, either.
OF course, the people enjoy the concerts; that was proven last
year. And as for bathing beaches, a visit to the Bluff any after
noon during this hot weather shows how much the people enjoy
bathing.
But the other cities take care of their residents in these mat
ters. Oh, yesi Here is what the Philadelphia Record has to say
about what is being done in that city along this line:
with the Inauguration this evening of the open-air concerts
10 be given at Lemon Hill by the Paramount Park Symphony Or
chestra, to be followed tomorrow by the opening of the fine NUM-
cipal bathing beach at League Island Park, Philadelphia will be

pressive summer months. More beaches are needed and should

of this sort is preposterous. The
new scheme proposes that these
bookmakers having offices pay

bookmakers at the tracks, or 500
a year for licenses.
Half Billion Wagered Annually
Actuaries have estimated that the
British people place bets aggre-
eating half a billion dollars a year
This is about $40 for every inhabi.
tant, many times what the American
people place in bets.
Some doubt has been expressed
as to whether the tax would discour.
age betting and prevent large collec-
tons of revenue. Experts believe
that the tax would make no differ
nee because the people usually dc
not bet to obtain returns any NOR
than they bet for sport. The very
nature of betting is such that a mar
would not refrain because a taz
would be deducted.
To bet at all, a man must be pre-
pared to lose his whole bet, There.
fore, he would not refrain from bet
ting because he had to pay a tax.
1t is not a new idea for govern
ments to obtain revenue from bet
ting, but the idea of a direct ma
tional tax on bookmakers and indi-
yidual bets is new. Some American
states operate the pari mutual
scheme of betting under which the
State Government receives a GER
tain return. The Government OF
the Principally of Monaco is en-
tirely supported by the proceeds o.
betting, the people paying no taxes
for the maintenance of the govern
ment. The Casino of Monte Garlic
at Monaco has for years been thu
Mecca of the worlds gamblers. They
have a saying there that black wins
sometimes, red wins sometimes but
white always wins. This refers to
the colors of the roulette wheeei or
which the bets are made and in
wolves a clever pun. For many
years the manager of the Casino has
been a man named Blanc which Is
the French word for white. Blanc
the manager, always wins.
The Republic of Cuba and -otnsl
Latin American States maintain
Government lotteries as a source OF
revenue. These are constantly II
progress. The Government will ap'
propriate a lottery prize of $780,
900. It then will sell to the public
100, 900 lottery tickets for $1.5C
apiece. A man will pay $3.50 for g
ticket which, if it is the winning
ticket, Will brng him a fortune o.
800, 900. The Government pays
the $780, 600 prize to the winner bu'
it has collected $3.50, 900 from the
sale of tickets. No one loses verN
much and the Government makes
$4,000. This is a frequent opera
ton and always popular. Lotteries
of any kind are against the law II
the United States.

Chicago conference was sponsored by
governors of seven states, heads of
farmers organizations and others
with the object of finding means to
stabilize the grain price and to in
crease consumption.
Throughout the convention the
Ohio grain dealers made 1T plain
that they were against any pooling
plan, asserting that it would not aid
the farmers and would wreck the
grain business.
A plea to the grain men to fight
efforts toward government ownership
of transportation systems was made
by Henry L. Goemann, chairman of
the National Grain Dealers Associa-
