Bookmakers Feel
Pouerty;s Pinch;
HoNer for Help

LONDON, Jan. 29.- up -
The latest section OF the COM
munity to feel the pinch Of post
war poverty and complain of bad
times is that OF the b0okmakers,
who see looming ahead the posi-.
bility of a betting tax. Through
their trade body, the Book
makers and Backers' Protection
Association, they have sent a
circular to the executive commit
tees Of the different English race
meetings, asking for reduced adj
mission fees to race course bet.
ting rings.
The associations secretary, in
making the request, pleads that
the bOOkmakers are i'm a bad
way owing to the shortage Of
money and that the volume Of
betting has dwindled tw0.thirds
since the boom years Immediately
after the war. Among those con-
versant with the betting business
this plea appears to be justified,
for, although more people than
ever indulge in betting it is for
such small amounts that the
money in circulation Is enOr-
mously reduced. and the book
makers profits likewise.

Its mind made up, quickly shooting

The first hockey casualty occurred
in the third period, when Howard of
the Division team sat down suddenly.
He was carried from the ice and it
was feared that a bone was frac-
tured, but a doctor, hurriedly called,
found that he had just encountered
a particularly hard section of ice on
which 10 take his spill.

The Brooks players probably were
not as clever on their feet as tho
speedy little Division outfit, but their
huge weight advantage was employed |
effectively. If Division player got
in the way, he just shouldn't ought to |
have done it. Ardiff, Division goal |
keeper, was sent sprawling every now
and then. ..
The play was fast and furious from |
the start. and the game earned many |
new deyotees. Those who saw the
first contest last week are now anxious

HOMEGROWN SALADS

The last two springs have been
ideal for the production Of head let
tuce, in fact all the lettuces which
revel IN cool weather. Head lettuce
early sown and transplanted in the
garden now should be paying for it's
keep and to tide over the head lot
tuce season and the early tomatoes
and cucumbers for the summer salad
put in cos or romaine lettuce which
stands hot weather better than the
head or ordinary leaf varieties.
Express is the earliest maturing of
this long-leafed perpendicular grow
ing type and Trianon Is the largest
leaved. This form Of lettuce has not
been developed into as many varie-
ties as the ordinary leaf and head va
rieties but Is due for much expert
menting as 1t is becoming one Of the
most popular home types, being half
way between leaf and head lettuce
and partaking Of the types Of each.
1t has a tender self blanching heart
owl to its etv1e of growth but doe !
not form close head while the out
er green leaves are of finer flavor AMI
as tender as any leaf lettuce.
1t Is the best Of the late season
lettuces as 1t stands heat little
better and little longer than the
ordinary types although it. too, starts
up to fulfill it's destiny and seed when
the real hot weather sets in. Romano
salad, another name for cos lettuce,
is always a delicacy and anybody can
grow his own romaine. Ask for cos
lettuce seed and you have the max
ings Of romaine salad.
1t Is improved by tying the tips of
the long outer leaves to hasten and
increase the blanching Of the inner
leaves.
Give this lettuce soil and plenty Of
water and 1t will be q revelation to
gardeners who have never grown It.
1t often succeeds and gives heart to
the discouraged gardener who has
failed with head lettuce. a very COM
mon failing through failure to get an
early start.
