CHAPTER "a

Now on this day, our thirty.
third in the raft, our position was
desperate. Since We had lost even
my last inadequate makeshift sea
anchor, we had no means whatever
Of controlling our progress. From
now on we would 60 where the
wind sent US, and that might mean
that we would feat until the ftb-
Der boat finally rotted and burst
We had lost all our rags, so had
no way of catching drinking water
beyond what might lie in the bot
tom of the raft. We had nothing
for bailing except our hands. We
had one shoe paddle left, two wal
lets which had somehow become
wedged in the front of the raft,
and my police whistle. I did not
see how we could make any use
of these.
The worst blow OF all was the
loss of all our clothes. and the
piece Of fabric we had been using
to- shade our heads, From now on
we were entirely unprotected
against the equatorial sun. and II
was midsummer. We knew. too
well. what the sun was going TO
do to us.

but this year and the years Of
the duration will produce the
greatest gambling totals in our

the increasing curtailment Of
things to buy.
II the government could figure
some way of diverting the gam
bling money into war bonds we
would have little difficulty in
financing the war, but I have no
suggestions on that point.
The curious thing about gam
bling money is that it eventually
all suddenly disappears and no
one can say where IL goes.

Why didn't he put il straight

Could il be that Stain feared

or was il purely because he likes

TO give him a big story, which
il was?
John j., too, is slightly dizzy

He thought matters were

Then. when Molotohf took of

The Brighter Side

THE greatest era of open gam
l. bling since the days of the
western frontier or the Deep
South before the Civil War has
dawned in the Middle West.
1t is operating in elaborate
casinos in connection with night
clubs hard by some of the great
industrial centers now rolling in
war money.
Not being in the police busi-
ness, L will not name names,
though / must assume that the
municipal authorities and the
newspapers of the cities in or
near which the gambling pre-
walls are aware of the situation
and are tolerant thereof.
/ must assume this since the
news of the gambling has
spread from coast to coast and
il is scarcely conceivable that
the local authorities and news
papers could remain in igno-
rance of such a well known state
of affairs, unless they are deaf,
dumb and blind.
OF course this might be true
as far as the authorities are
concerned. 1 have known these
disabilities to occur in connec-
tion with gambling.
I AM informed that one casino
Il outside a Middle Western
industrial city provides itself
nightly with a bankroll of $780,
600 cash, a figure 1 am inclined
TO doubt despite the authority.
Say il is only half, however,
and you can judge of the volume
Of play.
Roulette and craps are the
big games.
The city in question a few
years ago was one of the most
depressed in all the depression.
am told it now bulges with
loose money.
The numerous war reStric-
tions are partly responsible for
the increase of gambling around
the industrial centers.
With plenty of money to
spend, the war workers who
have vastly increased the popu-
latiens Of the Industrial cities
have little to buy; consequently
many Of them turn to the gam
ing tables.
The individual play is not high,
but the volume is terrific, and
gaming operators like volume
better than they do individual
high play.
THE situation in the Middle
Il West is similar TO that in
Nevada in the West. especially
Las Vegas. now heavily popu-
lated by industrial workers.
The difference is that in Me-
vada open gambling is legalized
while in the Middle West and
elsewhere throughout the coun-
try il is illegal and subject to
police attitude.
