IT IS THE LAW.

HERE is in the District code a
225-year- law which pro-
vides that any person who
Il loses more than $26.67 in a
single sitting at cards. dice or any
other game. shall have the right to
sue for recovery of the losses In any
local court of record.
Should the loser himself neglect to
sue. the law says, any other person
without GOWN or collusion" may ''sue
for and recover the same and treble
the value thereof, with cost Of suits,
against such winner or winners, as
aforesaid; the one moiety thereof to
the use of the person or persons that
will sue for the same and the other
moiety to the use of the District Of
Columbia"
The law is one from the old British
code which was taken into the Mary
land code and became a part of the
body Of District law when the Fed
eraf territory was hewn out Of Mary
land. Though the law still stands in
the District code it has not been en-
forced for many years.
