HILL RULES PUNCH
 BOARDS LOTTERY DEVICES
Steward Gateway, May s)

l M "s.N N NsNe~ "@ys ASA~y ~Ps The legal status of punch boards
 is clearly defined in . written opin-
 ion by Judge E. Coke Hill of the I District Court of Alaska, in .
 friendly case started by the United
 States of America against Ray Nc
 Donald. proprietor of the Aurora
 pool hall of Anchorage. states the Times. The defendant. believing he was within his legal rights, was operating punch board for the purpose of stimulating trade With the purchase of gold fish hook for 10 cents each person was en- titled to punch one hidden number from punch board. With each lucky number there was given a prize in addition to the fish hook purchased. The operation of punch boards has been forbidden by the United States Marshal and District Attorney for the Third Division. and according to Clyde Ellis, Assist ant United States Attorney. and Deputy United States Marshal H. I. Stacer. this prohibition caused con- siderable complaint on the part of merchants and various organiza- tions who claim that punch boards are legally operated in other parts of the Territory.
 It was with view of settling this question definitely that this case was brought in the District Court before Judge Hill, who is holding Court at Anchorage at present.
 Judge Hill holds that punch board is a lottery device which is defined as gambling: the final clas- sifcation being that punch boards l are gambling device. and where the prize or reward is a thing of ] value their operation is unlawful, even though each player is entitled | to certain return in addition to | the possibility of prize.

THE most defiant foes that
i Uncle Sam ever had are
about to- become citizens.
Hidden IN the swampy recesses
OF the Florida everglades, the
Seminole Indians never concluded
a treaty with the United States

are seeking admission to citizen

football on the famous team that
Jim Thorpe captained-he speaks
excellent English and is free from
the superstitions Of his people. He
explains that the Seminoles have
always lived by hunting, but that
Florida's wild life can hardly last
another score Of years. so that the
Seminoles must prepare to adapt
themselves TO the white mans
civilization. .... ~.
Tried 70 Deport Them
About 1887 the government
tried to deport the Seminoles to
Indian Territory" he says. Some
of them refused to go, and some
who went returned. The govern

through the everglades, and at

"Our people are very orderly,
kind and brave. We punish our
own offenders. There is man
whom we will try at the next,
meeting of our tribe in July.
Around Miami you will see one In-
dian with one Of his ears cut off.
He did a terrible thing, that no.
good man would Go, and that was
his punishment. He is banished
forever. and when he dies we will
not bury him. 1t will be as If 3
dog had died.
Need Chance to Progress

and citizenship, so our people can
go right along and get the best
collegiate education, so that they
will be American citizens, free 10,

There are now 500 members Of
the Seminole tribe, Chief Tony
Tommy says. Most Of them can,
not speak English, and spend
most of their time in the depths OF
the everglades, seldom or never
seeing a white man or. a white
mans city. They live much as
their remote ancestors lived be- f,
fore the coming Of the white men.
But the old times are changing,
and the chief knows 1t. So the
Seminoles want to become cttt-
zens.

never made treaty with them or
recognized them as citizens.
81 was born in the forest in
Broward county, I never saw q
railroad until I was IA. Up to
that time ! lived in the woods all
the time. Even now it makes me
feverish to live in a house.
I'VE used to hunt deer where
Miami now stands. Miami then
was just a settlement of three or
four houses. For other skins we
would go back into the ever
gla IS, just as we do now. We
trap opossums, coons, wild cats,
offers and bears.
But I gave up hunting Is
years ago and resolved to learn
the ways OF the white man. And
now I want to become a citizen,
and I want my people to do the
same. There are many young
children among the Seminoles,
and none OF them is going to
school. I want them to have
schools, so they may have a Chris
tian education.

the Seminoles are sun worshipers.
They believe in some kind OF
future life, but they have no con-

to go to a better place. but they
have no idea OF what 1t will be
like. They do not believe in hell.
They do not believe In evil spirits.

Things You Should Know
VENTILATION

Ventilation in winter is prob
lem of first importance. There is
no dorot that ill-ventilated apart
ments make for ill-health. Rarely
90 We find family nowadays
without one or more sufferers from
respiratory infections.
l want to emphasize at the out
set however, that warm air does not
mean impure air, by any means;
neither may we look on cold air as
always being "fresh air." One of
the essentials of air in the living
room is, that it be comfortable to
the occupants; great or sudden
variations in temperature may be
exceedingly harmful.
Circulating air is better than
stagnated; the outlet for over
heated, or foul air should be at the
highest point in the living apart
ment; the inlet for outdoor air at
the lowest. If front doors are
opened and closed frequently dur
ing days and evenings, plenty Of
outdoor air may be admitted in
that way; and, air should be held
inside, long enough to be warmed
by the heating-plant. 1t is there
fore evident that, the outlet for air
should be smaller than the opening
for intake
The closed room is generally to
be looked upon with suspicion. No
matter if it be a public hall,
a church, a theatre, or any place
used on occasions. Public halls
should be treated with formalde-
hyde two or three times a week;
the air should be changed daily. A
bedroom should always be left wide
open after occupation,-the bed
ding thoroughly "aired' and fire.
quent sprinklings with a solution
of formaldehyde may prevent many
a respiratory infection. People
know these things, but so many
neglect them.
