BRITISH GAMBLE
 MONEY IN FRANCE
Shore Resorts Cash in on Cross
 Channel Tourists

Paris, Sept. LP)-Gambling fever has British holiday makers in it's grip. and the gamblers are pouring their shillings and pounds into France in almost enough volume to pay the French war debt to Britain.
 Within a few hours travel of southern England, including Lon don. there are dozens of French seaside resorts, and all these resorts have casinos. Le Touquet, Deau- vile, Trouvillc and Dinard, are the chief ones, but there are scores of smaller ones studding the Emerald coast. The Le Touquet casino alone made S2.0OO,0OO last year, and the French government collected more than that in taxes.
 British consuls are kept busy sending the losers back to England. Belgium has now added to the facilities for taking the British trippefs money by making roulette legal in all Belgian casinos. Rou lette has hitherto been more or less confined to Monte Carlo.
 There seems to be not the slight est chance of a reform wave Strlk- ing France and causing prohibit ton of gambling, which happened periodically before the war. The reason is that the government makes millions from gambling by taxation and the government needs the money badly. .

EDWA ARDS IDEA MIGHT
 REY0LUTI0NIZE FLYING
Rubber Band Only Motive Power
 Necessary Ohian Belie,eS

Cincinnati, O., Sept. (UP)-Ed- ward Haller intends to revolutionize the aircraft industry.
 Edward believes the government will no longer have to worry about it's oil reserves since a rubber band will be the motive power of his won- derful, though comparatively sim pie. aircraft made of few pieces of metal weights and similar materials. Wings will propel him but he will be able 10 glide a long time with a few of the pinions.
 Although no blue print of work ing model has yet materialized, Haller is sincere about the success Of his invention and its ability to put the airplane and the dirigible in Henry Ford's museum. Properties of an amphibian are accredited to it also. Landing fields will be unnecessary for by &n in genious opening in the floor of the craft, he can lower it vertically, but, Edward assures, at less speed than enc ordinarily drops. Likewise a snap of the rubber band and he can scar away again.
 The only obstacle keeping Edward from giving his craft to the world is money. He wants 5000 to perfect his invention and put it on the market.
 The invention might have been put out several years ago but for the fact that a model was destroyed at the outbreak of the World War 10 prevent, Edward explained, hos tile nation from utilizing it to harm ful advantage.

 Of Poor Percentage
 Born in Woburn. Mass. of poor parentage, Dever was only boy when the necessity of aiding in the support of the family arose. Indus- try and frugality were factors that early made themselves apparent, He came 10 Chicago 25 years ago and formally entered politics in 1903 when he was elected alderman.
 Ten years in the city council were followed by election to the superior court bench. to which he was twice reelected. Among the more famous cases over which he presided were those of William F. Lorimer, former United States senator, and the Black Sox" mem bers of the Chi cago White Sox.

MOWERS PROVING
 BOUN7EOUS HOSTS
Daily Guests Keep Washington
 Provision Men Happy

Washington, Sept i OP)-Old- fashioned ncighborly hospitality at he White House under President and Mrs. Hoover is making gool profits for Washington tradespeoplc. The White House grocery bill, al ways large, has increased notably lnder the Hoover regime. In twen- -y-seNen weeks, more than 1,400 guests have broken bread with the chief executive. As result deliv- cries to the White House pantry every day are of almost wholesale proportions.
 In his first six months in the executive mansion. President Hoov- 1T has not been a single day with put either luncheon or dinner guests. More than 200 friends have been house guests and 25O more nave been included in weekend parties in the Rapidan camp. The lew era of prosperity reaches not only the grocer and butcher, but he cigar store man and the baker IS well. White House attendants confirm that the pantry bill ap- breaches that of many a small town hotel. One leading retailer recently suggested that wholesale buying of some of the staple com- modities, such as eggs, butter and bread might bring about sizeabl4 reductions in the monthly bill.
 Pays Bills Himself
 All of this increased operating expense comes from the presidents personal resources, as there is no provision in the White House appro- priations for other than official en- tertainmont.
 The Hoovors prefer to entertain their friends informally at the dn- her table.
 After dinner, Mrs. Hoover usually gathers the ladies in one of the drawing rooms while the president escorts the men to his private study upstairs for cigars and coffee 4 great deal of presidential business has been conceived in these quiet friendly interchanges after dinner.
 Such gatherings. together with the presidents luncheon talks and Week-ends in his Blue Ridge camp, constitute his principal contact with the world. Men from every calling gather at his table regularly to un- burden their minds.

 William Carey, now manager of the new garden, said:
 If that's his story. we'll stick to it."
 It was learned that the garden management estimated it lost S60.- 900 in boxing bout receipts during the annual four-Wcek period when tn" Ringing circus occupied the place.
 When Mir Ringing rejected the proposal that weekly boxing bouts interrupt the circus engagement, the lease was offered with the same con- ditions to a combination consisting of Sells-Floto Circus, the Hagenbach Animal show, and Tom Mix and ac- Ceptcd.

TYR. CALDWELL loved people. D He studied the habits of his patients and tried to improve their ways of living.

Then he determined to write pre- scription which would get at the cause of constipation and correct it quickly and safely.
 How successful his efforts were is best shown by the fact that the prescription he wrote back in 1885 has become the worlds most popular laxative! He prescribed a mixture of herbs and other pure ingredients now known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, in r thousands of cases where bad

Mighty SWatter Loses Chance to
 Hear Good Advice

Neither could have been more than ten, and they looked pathetic ally younger when they slid p to the lieutenant's desk at the. police station last night. Barefooted and ragged, they seemed to shiver as they faced Lieutenant Rival. It was their first visit to the station house.
 They gulped as they tried to speak. Finally the braVer of the two managed to make his tongue work for him.
 q broke the window. Harper sent me in," he said.
 The lieutenant was in a quandary. What window had they broken and where was it located? Little ly lit tle he pieced together the story of the boys.
 Early last evening they had been playing ball on lot near East Main street. A mighty batter stepped up to the plate, and unlike the Casey of song and story, he hit home run with one hand. Up and up the ball sailed and on and on. But when it's exact direction was seen, all started to run, The ball finally crashed through the window of the Honey man Auto Sales Co.
 All ran but one lone lad, who firmly stood his ground. He had not hatted the ball, and he saw no use of running. Officer Harper, latrol- ling the street, found the lad, who told the story.
 officer Harper. who has a way with the boys all over town eau toned the lone lad and told him 10 bring the erring youth to the police station at 9:30.
 Promptly at 9:30 the boy and the mighty batsman of East Main street, reported to the station house. It was lunch time. Officer Harper was eating at d nearby restaurant. Lieu tenant Rival took the boys name and sent him on his way When Officer Harper returned he was told that his youthful constituency had been in to see him.
 Disappointed because he had missed the boys, he told the lieuten- , ant about fl. He had wanted to talk to the lad who broke the window and tell him never again to run from trouble. Running from trou- ble is not the thing to do. Since he 1 had made the mistake he should have told the owner of the garage and all of the boys in the gam should help to pay for the window.
 But, nevertheless the tale was never told to the batter. Sometime | however. Offer Harper will meet the lad on East Main street and then l he will get q severe lecture about standing ones ground after making a mistake.

Moscow, Sept. 4 tP}-Thc Russian iCebreaker "Sedov," exploring F'ranzjosefland, far north of the Arctic circle and the worlds north ermost colony, has wirelessed Mos COW authorities that the new Soviet radio station and meteorological ob- servatory on F'ranzjosefland had been auspiciously opened on Aug. 80.
 Members of the expedition were enthusiastic over the successful pro- gress of their task of exploring and tanning the frozen north, lying in Russian territory.
 Leaders of the expedition are con- siderlng a project of using Soviet icebrcakers as tourist ships for wis ;tors from Russia, and the rest of the world who might desire a trip to Franzjosefland and the other Russian possessions in the north.
 At the present time the eXpedi- ton is exploring Hooker Island. Che of the groups explored the spa cious deep valley in the northern part of the island, called the Val ley of Silence, through which flows stormy mountain river. Another group crossed Hooker Island from the north, reaching Cape Albert Markham and the glacier Helena.
 It has been discovered that the Smirson channel and the Samoilo- viCh channel are free from ice and open for navigation. The Allen Young gulf is covered with broken ice
 From the top of Cape Markham the members of the expedition ob- served the rapid movement of ice in the British canal and saw the rocky cape of the Algir Island, where the hut of Raldwin's Ameri- can expedition which wintered there in 1901, is half covered with snow

 By 1888, the demand for this laxative was so great that the doctor permitted it to be bottled and sold by drugstores. Today you can obtain Dr.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin from any drugstore in the world.

SCHOOL BELLS BRING
PROBLEMS OF CHILD'S LUNCH

In December it is Christmas bells,
in June wedding bells, but this
month it is school bells. Millions of
boys and girls are answering the
call. Many of them carry lunch
boxes, many buy their lunch, and
still others go home for lunch.
The mother who provides lunch
for her children at home is indeed
fortunate, for she can be certain
that they get a warm, nourishing
meal, and she knows what they eat
and how much. A warm, nourishing
lunch is one of the best ways to
strengthen the growing child's power
of resistance against disease, Miss
Inez S. Wilson, home economics di-
rector of the National Live Stock and
Meat Board, points out.
Milk or cocoa should always be
served at lunch time. 1t is necessary
in order that the child get his quota
of milk for the day.
, Suggestions For Meat
There may be meat or "meat eX-
tenders" such as scrambled eggs
with minced ham or bacon; meat
stew with vegetables; shepherds
pie (meat pie with mashed potato
cover); creamed frizzled beef on
toast; fish cakes, salmon loaf, and
macaroni or scalloped potatoes with
small cubes of meat.
* nourishing soup is a good means
OF providing warm dish. Some
soups that are recommended are veg
etable, cream of pea, cream of toma-
to, dried lima bean, split pea, pota-
to, corn chower and fish chowder.
Sandwiches Are Popular
Sandwiches are popular, and fast
becoming more so, at home as well
as when eating out. A hot roast beef
sandwich with gravy would delight
anyone on cold day. Cold meat
sandwiches may be served with soup
or hot vegetables.
When it comes to desserts, the
mother who serves lunch at home for
the children is glad to know that
they are not tempted to buy cheap
candies or rich desserts. She will
give them rice pudding, boiled GUS
tard, tapioca and fruit pudding,
bread pudding, apple Betty with
cream, junket, raw or cooked fruit,
gingerbread or plain cake.
