For residence, let us hope, it will

Then at least all children can

mean scattered centers of retail

business and barrack residences,

must move than can be carried by
the present one-story and individu-

In New York

New York, March 21.-The God
dess of Chance rules New York.
Gambling is in the very fiber of the
place. Monte Carlo, Deauville, and
Bradley's Club in Florida can't
hold a candle to the adventures in
chance to be witnessed in New
York.
The game or business of risking
money on purely speculative mat
tiers starts out at sea. Besides the
various card games and other Or
binary means of gambling to be
found on the big liners, passengers
wager on the number of knots the
vessel will make each day. At
Quarantine they bet On the number
of minutes it will take until the
boat is locked.
AS the vessel swings past the
Battery it passes the greatest
gambling center in the world, Wall
Street. OF course, you may say
that the business done in Wall
Street is banking and investment.
But the business done there drives
men to suicide. l know at least a
dozen men who are so worried over
their speculations in Wall Street
that they are hardly capable of
pursuing their ordinary lines o.
work.
Crap games can be seen in prog
ress along the river fronts any

AUTO OWNERS
NOT EFFECTED
BY NEW LAWS

Fargo, N. D., Mar. 21.-North Da-
kota automobile owners will soon be
taking their cars out of storage or
getting them in shape after this
winters use. They will be able to
drive them under practically the
same conditions as far as automobile
laws are concerned as were in effect
last simmer as the result of the
state legislature closing its session
without materially changing present
laws regarding motor vehicles.
Buses are the most affected by
the new measures. A bill was pass
ed giving the state railroad COM
mission greater power in dealing
with bus lines. This raises the ad.

cents, to provide for a state highway
fund. the legislature provided for
creation of fund to meet the fed
eral governments requirements on
federal aid appropriations, by trans
ferring all but 100000 of the in
come from the present gas tax to
the state highway department..
License fees for motor cars of all
types were slightly increased by
doubling the mileage tax which forms
one of the units for determining the
license fee. 1t was explained that
the license fee is determined on three
factors: weight of car, its cost when
new, and its horse power The meas

measure was the provision for in

Why such precipous haste?
Two members of the present highway commission retire

Bids have been called for April 6.
Is it the intention of the old commission to seek to tie
the hands of the commission?
That is the construction everyone must place upon the
advertisement which Mr. Black sent to the newspapers.
Governor Sories administration will be responsible for
the policies of the highway commission after April IT, His
hands should not be tied by the letting Of these important

Every particle of evidence introduced at the legislative
investigation pointed to the fact that the secretary of the

Why advertise for engineering services?

the city to make a survey of the local

Mr.. Weir has charge of one phase Of
the survey of all the park areas in the
country-Federal, state, county and

May.
The data being obtained by the Fed
eral survey will be the basis for rat

original plans and for advising cities,
counties and States regarding general
plans of reCreational development,
said Mr.. Weir.
The national park system extending
along the Atlantic seaboard already
is being developed in spots through
municipal regional planning and the
extension of State forest reserves, Mr..
Weir said.
He pointed out that New York, Bos-

A severe Winter for the United
States, with heavy snowfall and long
continuing cold waves, broken by
warm periods of brief duration, is
predicted by Herbert j. Browne, wide
ly known ocean meteorologist.
An abnormal condition, he holds, is
pointed to by many factors, including
the record breaking cold in many sec
tionS of the country this FAN, be-
ginning with the first SHOWS in the
Northwest on September is, four days
before the official close of Summer.
The Winter, he believes. will be fol
lowed by n late Spring.
Primarily the predictions are based
upon a study of ocean surface tenn
peratureS as determined by the
amount of suns heat reaching the
earth. This solar radiation for more
than three years has been below
normal.
The present weather situation he
says, indicates that the world is fac
ing condition which will interfere
seriously with crops, the cold Fall and
Winter in prospect being but fore
runners of the next two years 4
