violation of the lottery laws.
 First action toward elimination ce the lottery which has grosSed th0usands of dollars weekly for its operators was started last week in Hanover, New Hampshire, when authorities of Dartmouth College demanded that 1t be stamped out. @t Arrests Ordered
 as Only yesterday at New Haven, Police Chief Philip T. Smith ord- cred . special police detail to arrest all persons found offering football p0ow slips for sale. He also ord- cred the arrest of any person found with such articles in his possession.

 Game of Skill"
 :, The football pool is a game of skill in selecting winners from week to week in the leading college games. Eight games are listed on the print ed slips which are passed around, and usually the games on the list are the hardes of the week to fore- cast. Any wager from 25 cents up is acceptable and the payoff is at a ratio of different odds, in accordance with the number of winners picked.
 A single tie game among the several selected by the player elim- mates him from a win against the .house," thus supplying joker to what apparently is an up-and-up game.

him to-

Three-Minute
Journeys
By Temple Manning

Cornwall in the southwest OF
England is particularly rich in
strange and interesting remains.
At Boleigh Mere are two stone
pillars 12 feet high and 100 feet
apart called the Pipers.
Near by is a circle Of stones
that look like the feminine
form. The pipers are popularity
supposed to represent the petri-
fled images of men who played
for 10 maidens, who were
turned to stone for dancing on
Sunday.
High, overlooking Gurnard's
Head on the Cornish coast, are
the old burying places Of chiefs
marked by one flat slab raised
on the top Of two other huge
blocks Of granite. These are the
famous cromlechs or dolmens.
Quite near London, at Maid
stone in Kent, is a famous crom.
lech and near by is q miniature
Stonehenge known as the Cold.
rum Stone Circle. Most interest
ing are huge ancient stones
with vertical markings on them.
These have been found in va
rious parts Of Britain and it is
thought that these stones were
ancient guides, Just as the iso-
lated pines standing on certain
barows or hills were signposts
for ancient ira velers who
roamed the island thousands
and thousands Of years ago.

divorce of the Philippines
from the United States.
Senor Quezon's crusade
for absolute Philippine in
dependence got him his job
as president, so he has to
go on making absolute-in-
dependence noises with his
mouth. But he has become
publicly more and more
open-minded on the subject
as Far East weather has
grown more threatening.
His position now is, as re-
vealed in a press interview,
that if other responsible
Philippine leaders wish to
press for a modified kind of
independence, far be it from
