Betting

A foolish thing, this constant bet
ting, this wagering of groat and yen;
it is the vice, the sin besetting of many
locoed workingmen. In spite of stat
utes and restrictions, designed to curb
the sporting throng, they'll back with
coin their firm convictions, which
nearly always turn out wrong They're
always getting tips and pointers, with
lunches they are face to face; they bet
on poor old rusty jointers, stale nags
that could not win race. They'll
bet on any proposition, they'll bet
that rain or snow will fly. when every
omen and condition would indicate a
season dry. They'll bet on scraps or
wrestling matches, they'll stake their
ailing parents pills, they'll bet their
homes, from roofs to latches, that
Dempsey will be slain by Wills The
winning thing they're always choos-
ing, this time they'll make a killing,
sure; but somehow they are always
losing, and still their hopes and faith
endure. The rotten luck can't last
forever, they soon will gather in the
cash: they think up systems fine and
clever, and all their systems go to
smash. And then at last they're fac
ing bleakly old age and poverty and
woe: all down and out they wander
weakly, and think of betting as they
go. When once the betting folly
faStens upon a man it spoils his brain,
and nothing cures and nothing chas-
tens, or leads him back to methods
sane.

BLANT0N T0F|GHT
FOR HIGHER PAY
SAYS 700 D. c. and U. S. En-.
pIoyes Receive Less Than
Starvation Wage.

There are approximately 700 EN-
ployes of the Federal and District gov
ernments in the National Capital who
are receiving less than starvation
wages" according to Representative
Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, of
Texas OF this number between 200
and 300 are employees of the District
government receiving between SIS and
$50 a month.
Mr.. Blanton said today that he pro-
poses to appear before various sub
committees Of the House appropria-
tions committee in an effort to secure
a living wage for all these employees
whose salary is carried in u number
of separate bills as they are employed
by different agencies of the Govern
ment.
As a particular example of the class
of employees for whom he expects to
get a living wage, Mr.. Blanton cited
the guides at various Government
buildings.
Mr.. Blanton has already introduced
legislation providing for an increase in
salary from 5000 to $10,0 for the
traffic director, and an increase to
$500 for his assistant. Mr.. Blanton
intends also to appeal for an increa Sc
in salary for the District Commission
ers from $500 to $4,000. He says he
believes that the District Commission
ers should receive as fair a salary as
the members of Congress, and he also
points out that the salary of the super.
intendent of schools has already been
raised to $4,000. and he believes that
the District Commissioners should re.
ceive as much.
