tirely unaware of Sims purse. Be-
tween Slim and Ginger was the pros
pect of lively and important game
of wits and tricks.
The game is played as follows: Two
of the players are principals such
as Ginger and Slim became when the
game started. The other players are
"pikers" or players. The cards
are cut to see who deals. Each
player takes a card from the deck
and plays it face down on the table,
when the game starts. The dealer
then deals each man card, face up,
from the deck and the principal fac
ing the dealer must examine the card
of each player to learn its identity.
The player himself does not look at
his card. The one whose card comes
up first loses: That is, if one man
holds king and the man with whom
he is betting holds jack, the holder
OF the king will lose if the king comes
first from the deck, or the reverse.
The dealer must not only cover the
bet of the principal facing him but
also of every other man at the table
who puts up money on his card. When
he loses his bet with the opposing
principal, the latter becomes the
dealer and continues as dealer until he
loses, when the order is repeated
again. The pikers are not permitted
to deal.
The pikers may bet with each other
as well as with the dealer and two
or more may bet one piker, if the
piker wishes to cover their bets. All
kinds Of cross betting is permissible
and betting is largely influenced by
whether or not the players feel that
certain cards are lucky. The game is
likely to result in Undesirable con-
fusion if eighteen or twenty men are
playing on account of betting COM
plications and it is this which causes
the game to terminate frequently in
murderous brawls The plays are
harder to keep in order than the
trades in grain speculation on the
Chicago stock exchange.
The big chance in this game for
card sharks is sleight of hand work
in working cards to the bottom of the
deck. If the dealers card is king,
say, he will not lose if he can get the
other three kings to the bottom of
the deck because the dealing is done
from the top of the deck. When a
player can get the other cards of the
denomination similar to the one he is
,lding to the bottom of the deck and
cop the money he is said to be car
rying the cub"
There is no chance for the principal
who examines the cards to misrepre-
sent their numbers as the cards are
thrown face up on the table after
the winners are announced.

REALTORS HEAR
|. P. REAUME

A plan of cooperation between
the real estate boards and prop
erty owners of the country, in
an effort to bring about more
conservative form of State and
community taxation was the key
note of an address delivered last
night at the Willard Hotel by
Leonard P. Reaume, Detroit,
president of the National ASSocia-
ton of Real Estate Boards and
guest speaker at the spring meet
ing of the Washington Real
Estate Board.
Stating that there are prob
ably 100000 owners of real
estate in America and that the
coming census would value their
property at no less than IT'S
billion of dollars, exclusive of the
tax-exempt class, Reaume pointed
out that because economic con-
ditionS are changing, this great
group of tax payers, representing
the largest single economic l1l-
tereSt IN the country, are just
coming to realize that they have
acute need to demand moderniza-
ton of State and local tax sy5-
TENS.
Equalization of the unfair stu
alton in regard to the local tax
burden should free home owner
ship Of a handicap in regard
State legislature or city council
in the country ever intended to
place upon it, and this freedom,
he pointed out, would establish a
revival in home building and
home owning, the very thing that
realtors throughout the United
States are now trying to bring
about.
Alfred H. Lawson presided and
John A. Petty, executive secre-
tary of the board reviewed the
local organizations legislative
program. A short ceremony was
held by the board in memory
of its recently deceased mem
bers, N. L. Sansbury and J. c.
Weldon.

Reaume as it's guest for the
evening, District commissioners

8. The cash equity in a home is
as good as a savings account
and can never be regarded as a
lost investment.
4. The credit standing of a
h me owner is seldom questioned.
S. The knowledge that he has
provided a home for his family
in case of a sudden disaster is
the peace Of mind" that only a
home owner can enjoy.
Social Background
8. A social background for the
children can be satisfactorily
planned when a home of their
own is at their disposal. 1t also
affords them safe play space.
7. A feeling of responsibility is
developed in the entire family
when they reside in a home Of
their own. This is particularly
desirable, as it creates an inter
est in civic and municipal affairs.
8. Pride of possession inspires
work around home and garden
and provides ample exercise for in
door business people.
8. A womans greatest happiness
comes from her home associations
and when she is the queen of her
own household she can select the
furniture and decorations she
really wants without fear Of having
to buy. them over again the next
time they are forced to move to a
new home.
Personal Freedom
10. Then, last but not least,
comes the personal freedom that
the home owner enjoys. He can
order his life as he wishes with no
restriction or interference from
the landlord.
While these are the most desir-
able pleasures, Nelson pointed out
that land values are always on the
increase and it is always possible
that gold or oil may be found on
the property, thus making it an
exceedingly desirable investment.
City or suburban home values at rea-
SOnable prices are often to be had
by consulting The Times Classified
Ads.

Home canning Pays Because
Fruit and Pure Cane Sugar
Are So Cheap Now

The abundance of luscious fruits
In the market now, and pure cans
sugar at an unheard-of low price,
give every housewife the opportu-
nity to put up wide variety Of pre-
serves, jellies and jams at most
reasonable cost. With these home
canned delicacies on hand, the prob
lem of next winters fruit desserts
can be most inexpensi' ely solved.
From the viewpoiI of health,
canned fruit, jellies and jams
should appear daily in the winter
diet. Canned fruits are rich in vita
MINIS. Their flavor pleases the APP
petite, and their sugar content
helps to balance the meal.
Aside from eating jelly or jam
with bread or toast, they are deli
cious accompaniment for roast
meats and other dishes. And 9
spoonful used to top rice or bread
buildings makes these nourishing
desserts more taste-appealing.
AS pure cane sugar plays an I'M
portant part in preserving, so 1t
is equally essential in the prepara-
ton of everyday meals. Pure cane
sugar when used to season canned
or fresh vegetables improves their
flavor, thereby making them more
enjoyable to the taste. Most foods
are more delicious with pure cane
sugar. The Sugar Institute.

REDS WORK IN
MARION NERCO
DISTRICT Barred
Communists Room Raid
ed, Held by Police on
VagranCy Charge.

BIZ United Press
MARION, Ind, Sept. 23.-Revela-
tons of alleged Communistic &C
tivities in the Negro district of Mar
ion, based upon reports of Com
munist agents after the recent
lynching of two Negroes, we're made
today with arrest of August E.
PoanSjoe, As, native of Sweden.
Poansjoe had been in the Negro
district for several days, presumably
as a salesman of toilet articles.
Sheriff Jacob Campbell raided his
room and found a large quantity of
Red literature, in addition to a re-
port made by alleged Communist
agents after the lynching, which
contained the names Of Negroes and
others likely to be interested in a
subversive movement.
Poansjoe was to be arraigned this
afternoon on a charge of vagrancy,
and then held for federal authori-
ties engaged in investigating ac-
tivities of Communists in the United
States.
He was said to be a member Of
the "TUUL,' the initials standing for
Trade Union Unity League" an
organization similar to the I. w. w.
Among activities of the TUUL
has been a movement to provide a
I defense for Herbert Cameron, To-
year-old Negro, who participated in
robbery of a white youth and at
tack upon his f1ancee. The other
two Negroes were the ones hanged
in the courthouse yard at Marion
by mob.

II looked up and to my aston

the funnel, about so or 100 feet in
diameter, and extending straight
upward for a distance of at least
one-half mile, as best I could
Judge under the circumstances.

UNIVERSITY HIT

Hundreds Unable to Get
Work at Michigan.

BIZ United Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. 23.-
Unemployment is more than theo-
retic economic problem for hun
dreds of students at the University
of Michigan.
A survey today showed there are
approximately six applicants for
every available job. This situation
is aggravated by the necessity of
cutting down student loan requests
to so or IS per cent of the amounts
asked.
The combination of circumstances
may force scores of students, in dire
need of f1nafcial aid, to withdraw
from school
At the university employment bu-
reau, it was learned there have been
more than 800 applications for be-
tween so and 100 jobs listed. Little
or no improvement in the shortage
of jobs is expected.
