 Played Out
Continued from Page one)

All were received in a huge hali, where there were rest rooms and tables spread with food Exhausted looking mothers, with babes in arms, were there. Many had difficulty in hearing after four days of explod- ing bombs, crashing artillery and wild clamor of an invasion of thickly populated cities.
 Helpless On Reads
 Correspondents who witnessed the first rush of the Nazi invasion into the Lowlands in their despatches from the front, give vivid word pic lures.
 Jack Nixon tells of refugees strug- gling southward. People of all des- criptions and ages, trudged along the roads, or rode in trucks and cars most of the cars being anything but modern. Here and there, bodies could be described by the roadsides Thousands exhausted and despair ing, sat or lay, seemingly indifferent to everything.
 A correspondent named Heintz- man described the crowded high ways, and the terror written on so many faces, as the sound of planes drew nearer. He tells about butch CT who placed his family and as many personal effects as possible in his car and driving off with des- tination unknown Time and again they drove to the roadside and sought shelter in ditcl1es and in woods, as enemy planes flew low spraying the roads and those travel ling over them, with machine-gun

"Aggravaiing" Female Murdered By Former Alaskan

A murder apparently for no req son whatever" has ended the mar ried life of pair of Alaskans who moved from the Territory to Wis consin year ago.
 H. w. Mackenzie, Director of the State of Wisconsin Conservation Department, in writing to Execu- tive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Alaska Game Commission about some sooty grouse sent to Wis consin fro mhere, says in a let ter received today:
 We did have a little tough luck with these birds as the male killed one of the hens, it appears for no reason whatever. But l suppose like all males every once in a while one gets tied up with an aggravating woman"
 Pheasants received from Wis consin in exchange are thriving a. the Petersburg experimental game farm. Dufresne said today on his return from trip there. Reeves and Cheer pheasants will be shipped across the Gulf to spend winter on the Kend Peninsula, while Kaleege pheasants will be released in Southeast Alaska, Du- fresne said.
 Wildlife Agent Hosea Sarber of Petersburg returned here with Du- fresne on the patrol boat Bear.

SELF-GRATIFICATION
By Hobart T. Mitchell

Sid Sparks was convicted and
fined $40 for playing a game of
craps on February 10, 1911. He APP
pealed the case to the Court of
Criminal Appeals of Texas and
made the point in his appeal that
the act of 1907, amending the old
article 388 of the Penal Code,
makes it an offense to play and bet
at any game of any character what
ever that can be played with dice,
because the same article provides
that it is not an offense to play
cards at a private residence, occu-
pied by a family, unless same is
commonly resorted to for the pur-
pose of gaming. Sparks contended
that this was a discrimination
against the Negro; that craps, the
game for which he was convicted,
was a Negro game, and that cards
was a white mans game; that this
was well known by the legislature;
and that by it the Negro was dis
eliminated against.
