SUFFERING
Relatives of Prisoners See
Loved Ones From
Afar,
BY KAHN O'DARE

N the Federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth there is a gal
- lery overlooking the mess
hall, known as the gallery of signs.
1t is in this gallery where friends
and relatives of prisoners are per-
mitted to watch their loved ones
march into the great hall with a
seating capacity # 5000.
And it is here, dating back a few
years, where a mother in making
one last effort to find her missing
boy. found him.
1t is this gallery of signs that
stared me in the face for eight
years. 1t was a thing that I could
never get used to or hardened to.
During every meal that l ever ate
during all of those long years I
studied the faces up there in the
gallery of signs.
Once I saw a wife with a baby
lean far over the rail and search
every one Of the 5000 faces in front
of her. Then I saw her sigh. touch
a handkerchief to her eyes, drag
herself to her feet, and walk wear
lily out of the place.

far over the rail and waving his

The daddy waved his hand back

After mess, and in the yard where
we had freedom of speech, he told
me that if things hadn't gone wrong

which always has a bill of complaint
to file against the American tourist
at the close of every winter season,
is lamenting today the fact that she
is being held up TO exhibition by
visiting writers-or writing visitors

Officially the season is not yet over

April. Actually, however, il is over

Terminated; the month-long carnival
which makes Havana the gayest and
friskiest city in the world has ended
with its battle of flowers and most
important of all. the hotels have be-
gun reducing their rates.
So complaints are in order and the
most serious one is that American
writers are giving Cuba bad name
for gambling. One cosmopolitan Gu
ban with whom the writer TALKED
was particularly wrought up over the
statement of magazine writer that
Cubans were so addicted to betting
they would bet on the score sf an
opera If they could figure out some
way to do it.
Bet on Anything.
The magazine writer had dcduced
this from the fact that Cubans bet
in every imaginable manner at ball

he said. And do you think lottery
tickets would go begging over there
if their sale were permitted? As
for the race tracks, isn't there Just
AS much betting on the races in the
United States today as there is in
Cuba:
But even granting, for the sake
of argument, that there is more bet

that the Cubans are such terrible
gamblers. You must remember that
Cuba is resort 10 which come peo-

crowds of bettors and you will find
the percentage of Americans and other
foreigners far exceeds that of Cubans.
Betting is universal trait, not a
Cuban trait.
The speaker quoted another writer
who said no Cuban could spare time
for a game on which he could not
bet.
He should have said no Cuban
gambler was the comment. The
same would apply to the American
gambler. The author of that would
