form OF mechanics. and the per-
centage of common labor en-

winding and sxle-deep with ruts.
In rainy weather they must be
absolutely impossible.

Outhouses are placed wherever
convenient, and more than one
shack fronts right on the Clubhouse

actually do have electric lights,
and one of two OF the towns &C
tually are on the map. But II the
mapmakers could smell them on a
damp night, they would erase them
in chagyin and reroute their few
highways. Even though they are
temporary. they are an eyesore.

The night spots are a thrill from
the first time one steps in their
doors. All are infested with taxi
dancers and, from what We saw,
some Of these taxis are old enough
TO run out of gas pretty soon.
They don't draw any money

not directly. But everytime pa

ceive five cents of the purchase

At the end of every bar is
blackjack table where eonces-
mon man usually does a thriving
business. while room in back is
given over to poker.
Anything can happen in these
spots and very often does. Just
