RIVIERA SLUMP SEEN
 IN DROP IN GAMBLING

PARIS, March 2. (P)-The slump in Riviera gambling is in tune with the slimness of the season from a hotel point of view.
 One of the largest casinos that ran 15 "Boule'' tables last year has had only enough visitors to keep three tables busy this season.
 Aside from the high prices and lessened popularity of Americans, one hotel-keeper attributed the ab- sence of American tourists to their discovery that their own sunshine in Florida, Mississippi and California is more reliable than ours. But we can wait. All of us have prospered since the war and the crowd will come back"

NARROWED WITHIN
 SIGHT IF SEWARD
 FUR THREE WEEKS
AxEL LARSON NARROWED ON FOX ISLAND WITHOUT FOOD,
 FIRE OR SHELTER

Starving and freezing to death with. in sight of Stewards modern restau- rants and warm homes is the remark able story related by Axel Larson, To- cal resident, who was rescued. yester- day from Fox Island, 12 miles down the bay, where he was wrecked three weeks ago. MT. Larson was picked up, quite by accident yesterday, by the halibut schooner Republic and brought to the city.
 In attempting to land on the island Larson's motor dory was completely wrecked and all of his supplies and equipment lost. It was only after a furious struggle to reach the surf was he able to make shore himself. A wet blanket and few frozen potatoes were picked up on the beach. By foraging every day from early morn ing until night Larson was able to secure a quantity of mussels and on these he subsisted entirely. Without fire or any means to keep warm at night, he sought shelter in an old cabin, one side of which had decayed and fallen down. An old and soggy hay mattress, together with his wet blanket-it was raining and storming every night-served as his bed, and the only time he slept, he states, is when he fell asleep from exhaustion. There was but one night when he slept warm and that occurred when a snow fall and frost enveloped him.
 Several boats passed the island, each time he tried to attract their at- tention, but was unable to do so. A member of the crew of the Republic saw him waving on the shore yester- day morning, but due to the heavy seas running, the vessel was unable to put skiff ashore, it being necessary for MT. Larson to plunge into the in- tensely cold water and swim a dis tance of approximately 70 yards to the boat. He stated that if he had not been rescued in the next couple of days he probably would have died as he had about reached the limit of his endurance. Last night, when seen at the Belmont House, he apparently was none the worse for his terrible expert ence.

ILL ADVISED LEGISLATION

Announcement is made that among the measures to come before the forthcoming session of the Legislature are two affecting the fox farming industry One calls for an appropriation of possibly $20000 for exper mental fox farm where veterinary will be maintained The other calls for creating of five miles on all sides of fox farn in which neither trapping or hunting is to be permitted.
 Neither bill appears to have soundness. The first is because such technical knowledge is desired by fox farmers is available through the Bureau of Biological survey which has taken cognZance of the fox farming industry and only this week Professor Monroe issued bulletin dealing with hookworm in foxes Any other sub ect of this nature will be handled by this Federal bureau Such fam if established would require several years which to become valuable to the fox farmers Therefore it would logical for all matters such feed ng selection of breeding stock etc., could best be dsse mated through exchange of experiences such is done in other livestock industries fox veterinarian could be attracted through demand for his services and there is why the of fox farmers could not be educated for this work and in less time than would take to results from Terrtorally established institution which means at it's inception drain upon the funds of the treasury and imposes additional burdens upon taxpayers for maintenance thereafter
 The general objection throughout the Territory has been to creation of reservations and tying up the country for the special privilege of the bureaus The same arg ment holds good with respect to creating fveile serve about fox farm. Ten such farms located ten miles apart would 100 miles long and five miles wlde This would that any citizen who de- sired to trap other fur, including rabbits, or who was caught hunting for any class of game these would be fined imprisoned. There is too much class legislation in this measure despite the fear of fox farm CTS that someone might trap shoot escaped fox It would appear more logical for fox farmers to assume the responsibility of restraining their animals rather than to place the burden the citizens of the Territory not engaged in fox farming. The same rule might annv to chickens.
