 "Oh. oh!" The girl on the stairs gave a little moan and turned to flee. The man ran up three steps and turned her about. His fingers bit into her soft arms.
 "It's not true, Liane," he cried. "Tressa's nothing to me-"
 Tressa interposed, eyes flashing fire. "Of course it is true. What on earth do you suppose he asked me out here for? He's been mad about me for ages. You're not his sort and never will be. Why don't you let him go quietly and decently so that he can marry someone of his own world? He's been making opportunities for me to be with him for weeks now. If you weren't stupid and blind you'd have seen that he went through the form of having you ask me to stay here be-

that the Ludington line would

planes a day April THAT is
a 33 per cent increase which
is mighty good when you con-
slider that this line is only a
bit more than six months old.

GAMBLING
NOTHING NEW;
RENO YAWNS
Nways Had It and Rum, Too,
0Id-Timers Say; Roulette
Wheel on Endurance Run

RENO, Nev., March % (U.S).
"What's all the shOOtin' abOut?"
Reno, the biggest little city in
the world, suddenly woke up this
morning to realize that the rest of
the United States has gone wild
with interest over the fact that
boys and girls up here wager a
bit of change now and then on
the turn of a wheel, the fall of a
couple Of dice or the flip Of a
card.
The new State law legalizing
gambling in all forms is what
turned public interest on Nevada
and it's principal city, Reno. And
hotel clerks, policemen, taxi
drivers and others who meet the
newest arrivals are just about
fed up trying to explain to in
coming tourists that one can
gamble all he wants to-and
always could.
Oh, yes, there are other things
one can do here, too. A person
that wants to use drinking likker
can get all he can swallow, and
at the price he wants to pay.
The situation was explained to-
day by an old.timer, who said:
"You see Nevada never did
take kindly to this prohibition
business. Even before VOIstead
came along the boys didn't care
much about revenue stamps, so
there were lots of stills in the
mountains and as they've been
runnin' 1850 year they're putin
out q pretty fair product by
now"
There are only two Federal
agents for a territory of some
10000 square miles, so they don't
get around very often to the
same place. Once in a while the
Federals send agents up from San
Francisco and gather the boys
up, but that's just considered
like paying dues" to belong to
the club, and as soon as the
Federals are on the train again
the boys get back to business.
Roulette Wheel Busy
The bank is the only place
which sports a roulette wheel yet.
It was put up Friday night and
it hasn't stopped rolling a second
since it was opened.
At the Silver Slipper, they even
had a radio announcer" Only
his voice went no further than,
the limits of the walls, and as he
introduced the celebrities enter
ing he made up his own names as
he went along.
A cock fight attracted many of
those with the gambling urge and
several sanguinary encounters
were pulled off.

Don't Move the Clinic

Officials of the Administration should Immediately
call halt to iadvised plans for moving the regional
medical clinic from the downtown building Of the admnistra

Decision to move the clinic shows woeful lack of con-
sderation for those whose behalf it established

than the best and kndest attention which be given by
grateful Government

COnSiderate Justice

Judge Charles w. Woodward, in the Montgomery County
Police Court has fired worthwhile shot 'easy-way'
Justice and has, incidentally shown himself to be person
consderate of his fellow
In minor courts it recently has become quite common
practice to let defendant off without punishment provided
he agrees to leave the jurisdiction of the court.
Judge Woodward in recent refused to follow this
procedure when suggested declaring that there
no reason why Montgomery county should impose man
who had been convicted of crime upon another community
The Judge right and would be we'll for other police
court judges to follow his ruling
An order to get out of town is not punishment.
And is certainly unfair for city to shift its criminal
burdens to another.
The thing to do with convicted is to punish him
the law provides not to give him fare to another place
where he continue his career Of crime.

Give Walkers a Chance

In all this huabaoo about traffic and parking the pedes
trian seems to have been dropped from sight
Every effort of District officials concentrated upon giving
automobile drivers greater speed and freedom of movement
The poor pedestrian cannot get few crumbs from
The rich mans regulatory table
Traffic police scorn the pedestrian.
They make no attempt enforce the regulations designed
for his safety and comfort
The motorists spurn the pedestrian under wheel
They respect fof his gh-or what should be his
rights.
There effort made to keep automobiles out of the
crosswals which the city has marked So anxious
florists gain inch two that they crowd into them
at every intersection
Little attention given to the right of way which pedes
tan supposed to have turning vehicles at inter-
sections.
Motorists simply refuse to give the right of way police
won't compel them to do and the walker is powerles
Motorists should remember that pedestrians have rights
and the police we'll be warned that unless those rights
respected and protected the time will come when the
walking citizen will rise in his might and walk police
and motorists alike.
