Nevada Legalizes
Open Gambling

CARSON CITY, Nev, March 18.
U.P)-To its bid tor Americas di-
vorce business, Nevada added to-
day a wide open" gambling bill
that may bring it fame as Amer
ica's Monte Carlo.
Drawing no lines on games of
chance in all their varied forms,
the bill places the stamp of legal
ity on every activity of gaudy Nev-
ada resorts that have operated in
the past by virtue of an "unwrit-
ten law" 1t falls short only in
that gambling debts themselves are
not legalized thus leaving the re-
sort owners the problem of collect
ing their winnings.
The senators who voted Is to 8
for the bill, and sent it to Governor
Fred B. Balzar for his signature, ex-
pressed few fears that gambling op-
orators would experience difficulties
in this matter.
Governor Balzar, i'll of influenza
in his home here, also had before
him the new siX-week divorce bill
which cuts in half the time now re-
quired to secure a degree. He was
expected to sign both measures
some time this week, as he had been

nothing can ever take from me the
satisfaction that has come to me

very splendid support that has come
without solicitation. I measure the
value of men largely by their de-
pendability. I like my political en-

my political enemy. I take it as
very great compliment that those
who brought me into this race and
those who have brought to me so
great support have not interro-
gated me as to my position on va
rious questions but have been sat
isfied with their knowledge OF
the normal functioning of my MIND
