But these circumstances by no

Tear gas, sprung upon an amazed
world in the sodden fields of Flanders
and France, in recent years has be-
come more closely identified in the
public mind with the arts of peace,
when these become involved in strikes
and similar civil turmoil, than with
war. But the numerous ramifications
of its employment are little compre-
hended outside the circles of those
whose duty it is to unleash its power

Several types Of tear-gas equipment
vie for supremacy in this field, and one
Of the strongest contenders for top
billing is . pocket-sized billy, which
combines the double threat of an or
dinary blackjack and tear-gas pistol
or rife. It is widely used by law-en-
forcement officers, watchmen, guards,
messengers and householders. Thirty

are employed extensively throughout
the country. There is, for instance,
the gas riot gun, somewhat resembling

Plan Has FlGws

The individuals who condemn
and Slander our President,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, are the
identical ones who would hest
tate to outline a better plan for
solving some OF our Government
problems. Let us discuss prin-
cipally the unemployment situa-
ton.
There are, at the present time,
approximately ten million un-
employed persons in our coun'
try today. Roosevelt has advo-
Gated relieving these millions
through CCC, WPA, old age
pensions, PWA, and other well
publicizet. agencies.
Through these various agen-
cies the men obtain fair play
and rations for doing worth
while work on projects benefit
ing the general public.
True, this plan has its flaws.
Any project embracing as huge
a scope as this will certainly
contain red tape and petty mis-
takes, yet broad-minded, intel
ligent men will look at the en-
tire setup when criticizing and
not pick out a few insignificant
errors as basis Of the whole
nationwide plan.
Furthermore, remember this:
It takes a pretty big man to run
our government. Small men can
rant and rave to their hearts
content with no avail: big men
will agree ultimately with me, an

graduate. w. H.

Omaha has 750 parking meters
operating in the city during busi-
ness hours-from $3.50 to $40.
The city has entirely done
away with the all-day hog who
would preempt a spot, hang on
to it and who relied upon police
pull if tagged.
The congested shopping dis
trict has nickel-in-the-slot ma
chimes which rent the space to
the motorists for an hour. Slight
ly less congeSted sections permit
the renters to remain two hours
for 10 cents. But they cannot
under any circumstances park
for more than two hours. And
there are absolutely no special
permit tags in Omaha as there
are in such profusion in Wash
ington.
Over a nine-hour stretch, and
working capacity, these ma
chimes earn As cents per day, but
taking out time for backing in
and out, the average is 35 cents.
This gives the city an income of
$262.50 per day, which leaves
handsome profit after taking
care of police supervision and
without adding in the fines i'm
posed on those who park over
time.
WORKING on the theory-yet
w to be proven right or wrong
that a city ordinance out
weighs a State law, Mayor But
Ter has legalized betting parlors
in omaha, with the result that it
is as pleasant and safe to wager
in that city as it is to do so on
the tracks. Chicago tried to fol-
low suit and would have done
so but for the split between two
factions of the city and county
government. The States Attor-
ney was against legalized bet
ting and the Mayor was for it.
The States Attorney, threaten
ing daily raids, won out.
I was so intrigued by the
Omaha betting parlors that I
stayed two days over the period
of my assignment. They are
such pleasant, restful places.
And they exist for every sort and
class of people. You can bet a
dime in some of them-and you
can bet $4,000 in some Of them.
And in none of them is there any
fear of a raid-until the State

WDETTING," he told me, "is
~ as American as chewing
gum or football. People have
been betting in Omaha since it
was founded and all over the
country since it was first colo
nized. Every effort to halt it
has been in vain. I said to my.
self AS long as the city cannot
halt betting the city is going to
get a piece of the money that
goes to the bookmakers.' There
are few things that Americans
refuse to accept, and if you will
remember, prohibition Of liquor
was one of them. Prohibition of
wagering is another"
Omaha's betting parlors are,
several Of them, on the main
streets. Their doors swing in
vitingly open, for there is a bar
in connection with every one Of
them. The betting rooms are
in the rear but easily discern
ible as you come in or if you
