The head bouncer, assisted by an.
other six-footer, searched the scribe
from head to- foot before permitting
him to advance to a second door
some six feet from the outer
barrier.
There was but a single guard
over the inner door. He lacked am

take the trouble to go through the
pockets of the visitor in search OF
a revolver.
Once past the two thick steel
doors. the reporter got his second
wind and mounted three flights of
stairs on all six. The sight which
met his eyes at the top of the
climb was a pleasure beyond words.

The reporter dropped So or SO

change pasture.
He saunterad over to a roulette

nine men were crowded about the
roulette table Some were young

were losing to a man. The re-

began making a series of trick

So he adjourned to one of the

Having lost more than he could
afford. the reporter abandoned his
efforts to finance trip around the
world and remembered the cardinal
principal of his racket: to be an
observer.
He then noticed several gunmen
seated on a battery of high iron
stools. The human watchdogs tow.

keeping on the alert. Their manner
bore evidence to the fact that they
were ready to plug the first man

Johnny Golden had a 79 and Al

Armour, was unable to control his

Horton Smith did everything ex-

20 Have Perished

The order Of disapproval was
stamped upon transatlantic flights
in small flying machines during the
so-called "suicide wave" in the sum-
mer of 1927. Men and women were
hopping off from Newfoundland for
various destinations in Europe only
to disappear into the Atlantic's mist
and never be seen or heard Of
again.
Department of Commerce records
show more than 20 men and women
have perished in attempts to fly the
Atlantic and Pacific. Lieut.. Comdr.
H. C. Macdonald, of England. was
the last to diss ppear after leaving
Harbor Grace, October IL last. Nun
gesser and Coll were among the first.
They tried to fly from France to

MRS. RICHARD LOVETT.
Miller's Herb Extract is not q new
medicine it has been in use for
years. If you are not enjoying good
health talk to the special represen-
tatives, who are now at the Peoples
Drug Store and let them prove to
you that this medicine is different,
or better still If some of your friends
are among the thousands who are
using it ask them about 1t. Mrs.
Lovett said: Friends of ours who had
been helped wonderfully, advised
my husband to give it q trial, at
first he refused, said nothing would
help him, before he had taken all
of the first bottle he had changed
his mind and now he would not be
without it, told me today to be sure
and get him another bottle. He
had suffered for years with stom-
ach disorders, suffered so with gas
pains that he could not enjoy good
meal, complained all the time of
| headaches, pains across the back
/ and would be up at all hours of the
night on account of his kidneys,
1 some time ago, he began To have
| rheumatic trouble the pains went all
| through his body and 1t was terrible,
! the pain he suffered, medicine had
no effect on him, even laXatives did
not give the desired results and only
a few weeks ago he remarked that
he was disguised with every thing.
Friends who had used the Herb
Extract for the same trouble praised
it highly and advised him to try
just one bottle, after the first few
days he was like a different per- |
son, could see a wonderful change |
in him end he remarked that he |
never expected such wonderful re- |
lief in such a short time. He no |
