estly believed games of chance were
respectable diversions and tried in
every way to make them so. Whist
Ter was his friend.
There is a Park avenue doorman
who used to be croupier at Can
fields. He tells me it was not un-
usual for q big winner to toss him
$1,000 at the end of a nights play.
At the time the raiders axe end
ed the Garfield establishment he
had saved $4,000 in nine years. He
knew the hazards of gambling, yet
he wanted to make $l50,000, return
to his native Ireland and become
member Of the landed gentry He
lost it in Wall Street in two weeks.
1t is ever interesting to know
what figure a man considers suffl-
cient for retirement. At Henry
Sells a young man of 80 said he
would quit tomorrow if he had
100000 invested safely at percent,
thus bringing an annual income OF
So 900. A man past so thought a
half million we'll secured was ample
and would permit the care-free
life he desired. A gentleman Of 81
did not believe anyone could make
half million and quit. BY that
time he argued, money making was
in the blood and nothing short OF
a million would be the goal. 1t was
his experience that men did not
care so much about the million as
to achieve the rating of millionaire.
And he was probably right.

Of controlling and regulating the
liquor traffic over to the politicians
and then forgot to watch them.
And Ohio, after all, is more or less

We had plenty of regulatory laws
in the old prohibition days. We
didn't enforce them, So We got pro-
hibition. We didn't enforce prohi-
bition, so We got repeal. And now,
with new set of regulations, we
don't seem to be enforcing them
either.

NEW YORK. May 25-Along any
of those tumbly and wretched tene-
ment streets that come to dead ends
is always a tacky candy store or
soft drink stand that is the clearing
house of gossip. A music box is
toothed 10 some last years air or a
radio is in constant jangle.
Every doorway and window
frames a silent, stony-faced fig
ure making amends for obScurity in
thought. In the glow of the
brassy evening sky the children
play half-heartedly their made-up
games. No sections of New York
appear SO placid, yet underneath
are so tense.
What impresses the stranger is
the absence of talk. As though
words were futile. Now and then
some patriarch will humble some
thing in his beard to nobody in
particular and return to his medi-
tation. If you speak they will nod
graVely, but rarely with a smile.
Oddly, sociologists find little So
cial unrest among such submerg-
ed They are untouched by class
jealouSieS. They have arrived ap-
propriately enough at life's dead
end Eddied hopelessly TO the last
stop in the social scale; nothing
much matters.
And speaking of silence, there is
always a hush. a cud chewing indol-
ence. about the mariners who make
their headquarters at the Seamens
Institute on South street. Sailors
are quiet at sea but particularly in
articulate on land. I have seen
them standing in groups at the curb
putting pipes and never saying a
word. At the lunch stands in the
neighborhood the countermen say
seamen may come in together but
it is rare they exchange conversa-
ton. They seem gravid with men,
cries and unintereSted in things to
come.
