GAMBLE BILLION YEARLY
TO CATCH LADY LUCK
IN EVERY PART OF COUNTRY
AMERICANS TAKE CHANCES
IN ALL KINDS SCHEMES.
NO SECTION is IMMUNE TO 1T
From Penny Candy Schemes to Big
Racing Pools and Stock Exchanges
Range Untold Number of Lures for
Hard-Earned Dollars.

The people of the United States are
spending more than billion dollars
year in the pursuit of lady luck. .
In every city, town and village gam
bling is carried on in secret, if not
right out in the open, and men, wo-
men and children are the players. No
gambler ever became rich, to that fact
noted gamblers have sworn, but still
games Of chance never fail to draw
followers wherever they may be.
Children and Adults Too.
Children go into the corner store
and spend a penny on chance OF re-
ceiving one piece of candy or the piece
of candy and an extra prize beside.
Race track gamblers alone spend near
~ a billion dollars a year. Between
the two, one the smallest and one the
biggest, are hundreds and even thous-
ands of other ways of gambling.
1t is the gamblers who pay, too.
Loss is more usual than gain. The
Iproprietors of the gambling dens, the
gambling devices and the gambling
pools are the winners. They get rich
doing nothing but fooling the people
of the land who fall for their schemes.
No gambling establishment, no race
track, no elaborate lottery system IS
necessary for the gamblers to pluck
the greedy public. The tools for a kill
ing can be carried in vest pocket.
A Chicago real estate dealer testi-
fed in court that he had lost $4,000
shooting craps. A woman, a tourist
from Boston, Mass, complained to
the mayor of St Petersburg, Fla, that
she had lost $4,000 spinning the tod
die top in a tea room.
In the old days gambling was a
real business The gamblers wanted to
meet only the men who could afford
to lose. No one got startled when
gambler made a killing.
Today it is different, though. Men,
women and even children of no means
at all are as eager to gamble away
their few pennies as are the wealthy.
That is why gambling today causes
Siren Song Being Sung.
But the United States is not alone
in the gambling epidemic In every
country of the world gambling has its
following, although the more civilized
the country the more extensive the
gambling and the more money turned
over each year on gambling.
All over the world the siren song is
being sung:
Make yo6r play, ladies and gentle
men, make your play. Stock markets
are open Roulette wheels are spin
ming. Cards are being shufled, dice
shaken and lottery drawings are being
made Make your play. This may be
the moment when lady luck stands at
your elbow. Make your play. The
golden cup may be yours

MONSTER FISH Is
CAUGHT IN N. Y. BAY
MORE THAN SIX FEET LONG
AND WEIGHED 400 POUNDS.
SOLD FOR $4,000.

NEW YORK, N. Y-Capt Frank
Stapleton and Robert Schmeierser
boat house proprietors, unwittingly
rammed their motor boat into a $218
fish today in New York bay as they
were transporting six men from
shore at Stapleton, L. L., to Standard
Oil company vessel moored in the
bay.
A giant fish il vase feet 3 inches
long, without tail-which evidently
had been clipped recently by contact
with a steamers propeller. 1t weighed
400 pounds.
Capt. Stapleton pulled up, jammed
boat hook into the fsh's mouth and
raised the head while Schmeierser
slipped a rope about it. They towed
the catch to the Ocean Yacht club at
Stapleton. Here the monster, still
alive. became a center OF interest OF
old time fishermen.
Only after 1,500 persons had debat-
ed the question, it was decided that II
was a sturgeon, with white belly and
mouth and black back Authorities
said such sturgeon catches were not
uncommon in the Hudson IS years
ago, but unheard of in the last 10
years hereabouts.
The great fish. sorely wounded, died
in the late afternoon. A Fulton mark
ct concessionaire bought it for $218.
Sturgeon roe retails at $1.65 pound.

BIG "DRY" ARMY ON
DUTY ALONG COAST
APPROXIMATELY $4,000 M E N
ENGAGED IN PROHIBITION
WORK FOR UNCLE SAM.

Inauguration OF the coast guard
new campaign against rum row swells
to approximately $4,000 the number of
federal employees actively engaged in
prohibition enforcement work.
OF these 5000 or more are on the
rolls of the coast guard, between 5000
and 1000 are employed by the prohi-
bition unit, and the remainder are di-
vided among the department of JUS
tice, the customs service and other
miscellaneous agencies of the govern
ment.
Upwards Of $30,OO0,000 annually is
now being spent by the federal gov
eminent alone, it is estimated, in the
attempt to enforce prohibition. This
does not include expenditures OF the
court. The sum is offset, to consider
able extent, by annual fines which run
into the millions.
Borders Must Be Watched.
Matching the federal efforts are
MANY of the sttaes which have en-
forcement agencies of their own dis
tnct from other activities. These sub
divisions of the government along with
the cities spend, it is believed, not less
than the federal government.
II so, at least $60,000,000 annually
is being expended in prohibition en-
forcement Until the beginning Of the
rum row blockade the smuggling OF
liquor ashore has constituted the chief
problem of law enforcement.
With the inauguration of the block
ade it seems certain that bootleggers
will turn next to Canada and Mexico
| for their supply.

Holes in Ice Cream Cost
66 Million Every Year

Holes mice cream cost purchas-
ers of the frozen dainty about 500
100000 a year, according to John
G. Rogers, secretary OF the New
Jersey department OF weights and
measures. Americans eat billion
quarts of ice cream a year, he says,
but a fifth is air or air holes.
Mr.. Rogers figures that the man
ufacturer does not lose nor does the
dealer. 1t is the customer he says,
who pays for the air and air holes
in the cream.

5AWSON MUST GIVE THE NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE BIG WELCOME
All But Nations Debts
Are Increasing Rapidly

While the national debt, now
$21, 250,000,OO0, is decreasing, the
bonded indebtedness of states,
counties, cities and villages is
mounting rapidly. This fact is re-
vealed in a report by the census
bureau.
A survey shows that between 1912
and 1922 the bonded debts of the
states, including counties and cities,
jumped 1874 per cent from 1891
100000, in 1912, to $3.50, 740, 900
an increase of $4,S67 $4,000. In

 In addition to being the largest convention in the history of the Zionist movement in America, the 1925 gathering will definitely mark the closing Of the breach which has existed among the Zionists of this country since their Cleveland con- yention in 1921, when Dr. stephen s. Wise, Justice Louis D. Brandeis and Judge Julian W, Mack led a group which broke away from the organization over the question of the establishment of the Palestine Foun- dalton Fund, which under the chair manship Of Samuel Untermyer, has thus far raised over $S,0OO,000 for constructive activities in the upbuild- ing of Palestine. Most of the Zionist members who at that time quit the organization will be present at this years convention.
 Mir. Lipsky. chairman of the Zionist organization for the past four years, will again preside at this years sessions, and addresses will be made by representatives of the United States and British govern ments, and by leading American Zionists.

More Than 300 Delegates to
 Attend Convention

Washington, June 27 More than 500 delegates from all parts of the United States will attend the 2Sth annual convention Of the Zionist Or ganization. beginning here tomorrow and continuing through Tuesday. June 30. Immediately after the ses- sions of the Zionist Organization Hadassah, the women's Zionist or ganization, will open Its 18th an nual convention, which will also con- tinue for two days. s-..
 The Zionist convention will decide questions Of policy with regrad to future operation Of the British man date in the Holy Land, upon which American Zionist leaders will make determined fight at the World Zionist Congress which will be held in Vienna beginning August IS,
 In addition to celebrating the ad- vances made in upbuilding Pales- tine during the past year, as rep resented in the opening of the He- brew University on Mount Scopus, and the big strides in immigra- ton and colonization, the chief in- terest in the convention centers about the resolutions to be sub mltted to the World Congress at Vienna on the Jewish Agency and Great Britain's administration of the country under its League of Nations.
 American Zionist leaders, headed by Louis Lipsky, general chairman of the Zionist Organization of Amer lea, are strongly backing Dr. Craim Weizmann. president of the World Zionist Organization, in ex- tending the Jewish Agency to in- clude non-Zionists as we'll as Zion ists. The Palestine mandate Of the League of Nations provides that the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jewish Homeland shall be conduct ed in cooperation with the Jewish Agency, which shall consist of the World Zionist Organization until otherwise changed. The World Zion ist Organization is at present func- tioning as the Jewish Agency. but st a result of Dr. Weizmann's policy, ir 1 which he has been backed by the leaders of the present American Zionist administration, the agency k to be expanded to include 50 pel cent Zionists and 50 per cent non Zionists, despite the strong opposi. ton Of some European Zionists.
 On Dr. Weizmann's last trip tc America, steps were taken 10 or. ganlze the American branch of the 1 agency on this basis, under the di' rection of committee headed by Louis Marshall, and with the coop. cration of leading zionists and non Zionists. With many European Zion. ists expecting to fight this extension of the agency at the Vienna con
 gross, an opposition is probable alsc among American Zion:sls, Tuo at thu Washington convention viii attemp 10 defeat Dr. Weizmann's Glagram known in Europe as the "Ameri can plan"
