1t Amt Legal
Six attorneys, as well as Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson and his court
attaches, sweltered Monday in deal
ing with case concerning mining
claims in the Cargo Muchacho
mountains.
What does Cargo Muchacho
mean?" someone yawned during a
recess.
Dear Boy" said one attorney.
Wagon Boy, said another.
boy Load, said third.
Everybody joined in with an idea
Court Interpreter Ralph Car
michael was asked for a decision
He said the literal translation was
Load Boy" but that the two words
weren't hooked up correctly.
RR, who likes to go to original
sources for things, asked a Mexi-
can standing in the hall outside
the court room.
Take Care of the Kid" trans
later the senior promptly.
Take II Standing
The pledge to the flag was thrown
on the screen az an Ell Centre
theatre. A woman in the audience
arose and stood at attention. A
woman in the seat next to her
tweaked her sleeve and asked her
why she was standing. The stander
upper pulled herself more erect
than ever and said witheringly:
Aren't you an American, too?"
As 1t Is Spoke
A rather startling note on the
United Press leased wire into Ell
Centre Monday, in which the San
Francisco UP operator was talking
to the Los Angeles operator, said
I'VE got hash from celery to Gu
cumbers in produce. Will need re-
peat please"
In newspaper parlance it means
that there were so many typograph-
ical errors in the produce market
report from the quotations on cei-
cry to those on cucumbers that San
Francisco needed the report re-run.

Gambling! Catholic Information Society Views Sit uation Cites
 C urc h's
 Position.

Speaking of Gambling-Tht Catholic church has as one of her fundamental ethical principles: Virtue stand in the middle" She has, therefore, avoided the excess that marks come of the American Sects. Today, there is 8 great deal of publicity over the subject of gambling. Two of the national news magazies recently seemed to be just a trif1e sarcastic in their reference to the Catholic stands on games of chance for the bene- fit of religion or charity. It is well, therefore, to restate our principles.
 Betting is in itself lawful" de- clares the Catholic Encyclopedia Dictionary (page 59), provided that the subject matter of the bet is not sinful, that neither party is certain of the event, and that both parties understand the bet ill the same way. Gambling on games of skill or of chance is law full provided both parties are will ing to play, even though or of them realizes that he has no chance of success; that cheating and fraud are absent; and that the money staked is not required for payment of debts or to sup port themselves and their fam- lilies. Gambling on the stock ex- change is lawful unless unjust devices such as causing an artifi- cial rise and fall of prices are employed. Betting and gambling are dangerous, and they easily lead to sin, misery. and ruin of self and others. In 1590, Pope Gregory XIV found it necessary to restrain the sporting Romans by forbidding, on pain of excom- munication, all betting on the re- suits of Papal elections, the dura- tion of the conclaves. and the creation of new cardinals"
 The games of chance ordinarily connected with church benefits are trif1ing and are deemed dan- gerous only if one has a scrupul- ous or false conscience. If such games get out of decent control, our bishops act to protect the church. It has happened in a few places in the United States, in the last year or two that this has been done. The danger that was evident in those places did not exist elsewhere and no ruling was necessary. Let the judgment of our own archbishops and bishops, not of our critics, be our guide. The church has 8 sound moral sense that commonly does not exist else- where.

the end of relief.
 Any grant-in-aid scheme which calls on the state5 to put up some money would, in many instances, mean no relief at all," he says. "In some states no direct relief what ever is given to employables.
 q don't know what would have happened to some of those mid- western industrial states in last years depression if we'd been operating on grant-in-aid basis. Take Cleveland, for example.
 "The WPA rolls there increased from 22,O00 in December, 1887. to 79,000 in the midsummer of 1883. The point is that if there had, at that time, been any kind of sys- tenn of federal grants based on state funds there just wouldn't have been any relief at all in Cleveland"
