CLARA BOW SUED
BY CASINO FOR
GAMBLING DEBT

LAS VEGAS, New, Dec. 3. WP)-
Clara Bow, red headed personality
girl of the screen, who once before
was alleged to have wooed and lost
fortunes at the gambling tables, fig
ured today with Rex Bell, actor, as
defendant in an action to recover
an asserted $1100 gambling debt.
The Meadows Holding Company,
owners of a luxurious gambling cas-
ino here, brought suit against the
actress and Bell, at whose Nevada
ranch she has been recuperating
from q nervous breakdown suffered
last spring.
The company sought to collect on
an "I. o. u" for $l100 marked
payable on demand" assertedly
given by Bell last summer after the
couple lost that amount playing
roulette and shaking dice.
Under Nevada laws legalizing
gambling, the alleged debt was COLI
s.deTed legal and the I. o. U. to be
an informal but legal demand note.
Although the note was signed by
Bell, Miss Bow was included in the
action because, 1t was alleged, the
note covered losses suffered jointly
by the pair.
The complaint sets forth that
Miss Bow ard Bell came here from
Nipton, Calf. one evening last
summer to gamble. Miss Bow was
said to have lost, and TO have CIV
en- the casino a check for $500.
This, 1t was alleged, was taken by
Bell, who left his own check to COW
er Miss Bows losses and his own,
amounting In all to $ll00
Although marked payable on de
mand," the complaint charged that
the demand had been made, but
no funds paid.
The actress first difficulty over
an asserted gambling debt occurred
September "a, 1890, when James Nc
Kay, one of the owners OF Cal
neva. Nev.. gambling resort, de-
clared Miss Bow had stopped pay
ment on $4,000 worth of checks
given for asserted gambling debts.
with the statement that she al
ways paid her debts, Miss Bow said
she had played with so cent pieces
and did not know they represented
500 each. She really owed only
s6950. she said.
Miss Bow went to Bells ranch
after suffering q nervous break
down following tie conviction OF
Daisy De Voc, her former secretary,
OF stealing a fur coat from the ac-
tress.

HIGH MATTERS

TAMPICO, Mex, Aug. 11.-Rl-
Tampico was faced with the double
task today of evacuating its flooded
low-lying districts and dispatching
aid up the Panuco and Tamesi
rivers to thousands OF refugees
marooned In a vast inundated zone
in northern Vera Cruz and southern
Tamaulipas.
The few refugees from the in
terror who reached Tampico told OF
heavy loss of life in villages which
were suddenly inundated when the
rivers after two weeks Of steady
rain, left their course and spread
out over the neighboring country.

communication with the town have
been disrupted.
It was feared the flood here would
reach grave proportions. Besides
evacuating inhabitants from the
inundated region, police, firemen
and volunteer workers removed
perishable goods from other sec
tons likely to be flooded.
Drinking Water Threatened
The water invaded the customs
house and the city hydraulic plant

would be put out OF commission and
the city would be left without
drinking water.

When Courtesy Counts Most
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

as losing ones temper what stand is
taken.
In the ordinary routine of life such
petty crises occur comparatively seldom.
AS q rule, a person OF moderately SEN
sitive nature and good breeding can
equally meet the exigencies OF social
and business engagements. Yet out
siders usually appreciate which persons
are equal to the emergency when an
unexpected event reveals tn true test
of good manners.
There are many reasons why 1t pays
to practice good manners, even when II
hurts to do so. For one thing, II
may be due to a mtSconstruction that
matters appear as they do at the mo-
ment of crisis. Then one is so glad
afterward not to have shown temper.
1t may be that in stepping from the
even path of courtesy one appears in
most unfavorable light, with express
sions unbecoming to behold which are
better avoided
Most of all, it is evidence Of great
inner caliber to be able to bear a lew
of what Shakespeare calls the sings
and arrows of outrageous Fortune
without giving evidence of the wound
inflicted. Those who observe the phe-
nomena of persons holding their tenn
pers against great odds always think
better of them. And most important
of all, one thinks no worse OF oneSe1

busily engaged in placing rows and rows

the eggs will hatch in a week. Wee

Down the stem he ambles urtil he
reaches the ground. Then he digs in
and builds a little cell. Here he turns
yellowish color and stays quietly in
this room While he is turning into a
beetle.
In about two weeks after entering the
room. he walks out a grown beetle, clad
in red blue and yellow. Up the stalk
of the asparagus he climbs and gnawS a
