stenographers in Queens contribute
their daily share to a business
that crosses 500, 900, 900 year. A
conservative estimate is that women
are responsible for half this invest
ment.
Next most popular game-and
New York isn't alone in this-is the
sport known as Bingo. From Port
land, Ore, to Portland, Maine, men
and women alike gather nightly, Oft
en- at church socials, to gamble
for small stakes at the Bingo board.
You buy board, probably for Is
cents, on which are printed group
of squares, each carrying a number.
As the announcer calls numbers you
look for them on your board. If you
have an unbroken line of numbers
called up and down, across, or dag
onally on your board, you win. That
is, provided nobody else in the game
calls "Bingo!" before you. The prize
is probably a $500 blanket and the
total "take" for the game may be
$500. It's pretty fair profit.

unbelievable accuracy is required.

Mans Noblest Friend

Out from the past-the dim,
bloody, shifting past-came this
noble equine, this noble animal,
the horse; side by side with man,
fighting with him the battles of
progress, bearing with him the
burdens of the centuries. Down
the long hard road, through flint
and mire, through swamp and
sand, wherever there has been a
footprint, there also will be seen a

where the girls may gather of an
afternoon. Then there's dice, NAH
jong and backgammon, besides such
ill-mannered pastimes as rummy,
pinochle, hearts and euchre.
Maybe the men taught them to
gamble and after all it's probably
no more sinful for women than men.
But lady gamblers merely add to
an already large population that
spends its money recklessly and
eventually gets into trouble. Maybe
legalized lotteries are the answer
because mankind has been gam
bling since Biblical days. It seems
to be human nature.

Old Bavarian Custom

In Bavaria travellers see orna-
mental paintings on the outside
walls OF houses. These are almost
invariably of religious nature.
This is custom inherited from the
peasants of ancient times who used
such decorations as testimony of
their religious faith and to ward off
evil spirits. Similar paintings dec
crate the furniture and doors.

Women will gamble, it seems,
and if you think daddy is the

, check at a bookie, take a look
at the record!
Gambling, the law notwith-
standing, has grown into an
institution of the first water,
filching millions of dollars a
year from the pockets of those who
can Ill afford it. Some favor legal
lied lotteries on the theory that peo-
pie will gamble anyway. They claim
it offers the poor a chance to get
rich, thereby making for less dis
satisfaction. What they forget is
that small money is sucker mon
ey" in the gamblers parlance. Big
winners in the betting racket are
those who start with big stakes and
can afford to lose.
Big BUSINESS In B00kleS.
A two-minute tour around the
country shows that bookmaking on
horse races is thriving despite its
illegal status. Chicago's city coun-
Gil set a precedent last winter by
1egalizing bookies to operate out
side the race tracks provided they
pay an annual license fee. But the
state of Illinois clamped down on
this scheme to fill Chicago's cof-
fers, just as Ohio, Maryland, Cali
fornia and Michigan have rejected
similar proposals in the past.
Several southern California cities
recently decided to license bookies
at fees ranging from $1,000 to SIS, 900.
Then the appellate court stepped in
and ruled the ordinances violated
CALIFORNIA; racing act. New Orleans
is a bookmaker's paradise even
though they operate illegally. In
Louisville between $50 and 500 book
makers work openly and in Miami,
Fla, they operate at ease despite
threats by the state.
But this is story about gambling
in general and women in particular.
The story is more interesting be-
cause few years ago there were
social and moral taboos against
gambling, while today Mother
leaves Juniors buggy on the side
walk while she walks into the corner
bookie and places bet on the fifth
race at Suffolk Downs. Fortunately
this situation isn't commonplace
throughout the country. It's con-
fined mostly to large cities and for
laboratory purposes let's put New
York under our microscope.
Here is a town where it was once
unladylike to sit down on the floor
and throw the dice.
Homework Is a Bore.
In this metropolis, where Friend
Husband spends his days at the
office it's often easy for the wife to
become bored with Homework, knit
ting and reading. To satisfy her
desire for something new a huge
gambling business has arisen, ca
tering exclusively to women and
making good money at it. A con-
sentative estimate is that New York
women invest half a billion dollars a
year in gambling.
The policy racket" or numbers"
game, polite form of larceny re-
sponsible for the rise and downfall
of many a big-time racketeer, is
the New York woman's favorite
form of gambling. This is true be-
cause you can invest any amount
from one cent to hundred dollars.

apples or other fruits of similar

less hydrochloric acid was required

apple has a therapeutic one as well.

worthy food traditions. Long estab-

meat have been justified and found
to actually improve digestion as well
as being pleasing to the palate. BY
carefully checked and controlled in

readily digested than roast pork
alone. Salmon with lemon juice
