ton by eliminating the clause
against betting on horse races and
to make it legal to place such bets
by means of par-mutuel machines
or totalizators at race track when
the necessary supplementary legis-
lation has been adopted. The mea-
sure was Immediately reported to
the House where it was given the
necessary two readings, referred to
the miscellaneous committee, of
which Speaker Lyons is chairman,
and short time later reported
back favorably. When it was call
ed up for final action in the Senate
Tuesday afternoon Julian c. Walk
er, Senate attorney, explained its
purpose and the vote was ordered
without further discussion. Sen
ators Frank C.Bancroft and James
B. McCabe, both Democrats, were
the only ones to vote against it.
Senator William E. Mathews, Jr.,
Republican, was absent. President
Pro Tenn l.. L. Maloney, of the
Senate, and Speaker Harry v. Ly-
ons, Of the House, Thursday after
noon signed Senator Cannon's bill
amending the state constitution by
removing the restriction therein
against betting ON horse races in
this State by means of pari-mutuel
machines or totalizators. This
makes the bill a law of the State
without any further action. Being
an amendment to the constitution
and having been passed by two
successive Legislatures it does not
have to go to the Governor for his
consideration. It is estimated the
revenue will be about 100000 the
first year and probably reach
S500,000 annually when one or
more tracks have been well estab-
lished. While this amendment re-
quires a two-third vote in each
branch the legislation to follow
will take but a majority vote.
Subsequent measures will act UP
the machinery to legalize and con-
troll betting on horse races by
means of the pari-mutuels but
there will be no changes in the ex-
listing statutes against bookmak-
ers. Two years ago the Legisla-
ture passed bill creating a COM
mission to control horse racing in
Delaware but prohibiting betting.

CHAPTER VII

They were passing a large and
elegant store on the Avenue, and
Nan suddenly halted her cousin
with an ecstatic squeak.
"That gorgeous pancake hat
the one in hunters green, with
the feather! It was just made for
you with your brand-new shade of
hair! Let's go right in and get
it, Vernon darling!"
But"
"Come on. You've simply got
to cut a dash when the gang sees
you! They'll all be in the Fizzly
Club-that's where we're going to
lunch-I want you to be an, abso-
lutte Knockout, Vermont"
Vernon followed her electric,
determined little cousin through
the great swing doors and up to
the spacious millinery depart
ment.
The hat was brought from the
window. It was marked $50.
Vernon tried it on. She was a
little nervous about the price. But
when the French milliner placed
it on her head at a fetching
angle, it was terribly becoming
to her.
When they were seated in a
taxi, and Nan had given the
driver an address in the East Fiji
ties, Vernon could see herself re-
flected in a strip Of mirror, en-
chantingly pretty with her new
shade of hair whose tendrils
curled around the brim of the
tiny Inodish hat.
Several taxis and private cars
were lined up before the grilled
entrance of the Fizzly Club. Ele-
gantly dressed girls and smart
looking men were entering its
portals-one by one, or two by
two, cautiously admitted. A tiny
observation window was set in
the door from which a pair OF
keen eyes secuted the customers
before they were permitted to
enter.
The Washington times., 1935-11-23

mons hand in hers and beamed
at her. Right from the begin
ming, Vernon's got to strike 'em
dead-that's why I turned up at
the train at such an ungodly
hour-that's why I called up all
the newspapers and told 'em you
wouldn't be arriving here before
Z o'clock tonight" declared Nan
graphically.
But why? Why? Why couldn't
we meet the reporters right
away?" In her heart a true pub
1icity hound" Sadie Tyson craned
her short neck forward expect.
