what to do with old fruit jars, espe-
ing solved by converting them into
substitutes for slot machines in those
counties and towns where the law a.
gainst slot machines is actually be-
ing enforced. Several of these fruit
jar substitutes for slot machines have
made their appearance here in places
where the feeding of nickels to the
"one-armed bandits" was the prin-
cipal pastime until Superior Court
Judge M. V. Barnhill, of Rocky Mount,
cracked down on the slot machine OPP
orators in Raleigh and Wake county
Similar homemade gambling equip
ment has also been noticed recently

The fruit jar slot machine consists
of nothing more than a two-gallon
fruit jar, filled with water; a small
glass in the bottom of the fruit jar,
and submerged in the water and a
top in which a slot has been cut large
enough to permit the insertion of a
nickel or a quarter. The idea is to
drop a nickel or quarter into the
small glass at the bottom of the fruit
jar.

terraces to empty into, the ditch car
rying the water to a suitable outlet.
These bitches may be of two types,
the vegetative ditch, which is protect
ed from washing by pasture grasses,
and the mechanical ditch in which
properly-placed dams retard the flow
of water and minimize erosion. The
mechanical ditch should be used On
a steep slope and the vegetative ditch
on the gentle slopes where sitting will
not occur.
The meadow strip is, however, the
best type of outlet. On fields that
have a natural draw" often a mea-
dow strip can be established that will
serve both as q terrace outlet and as
source of hay.
The cheapest and most effective
outlet, says Tribou, is woodland, out
even these need some protection, es-

cents and succeeds in dropping his
nickel into the small glass, the OPP

he gets so cents in return. A second
plan of paying off is to pay IS cents
