bling that goes on outside the
tracks, yet one is illegal and the
other is legal.
Those who take the bets in
side the tracks through the me-
dunn of their pari-mutuels ma
chimes are in the same gambling
business as those who take the
bets directly outside the. tracks,
yet the former have the protec-
ton of the law and are ac-
counted high class gentlemen.
while the latter are outlaws and
considered Scurvy fellows.
TTIE answer is, OF course, that
Il the bookmakers should be
legalized and taxed, the same as
the machines. 1 have no brief
for the bookies and have to adj
nit that many of them are base
characters and that their racket
of poaching on the state treas
ury is most reprehensible, but l
again assert they could not
exist without the cooperation
of the horse players and / hap
pen to know that many custom
ers of bookmakers are suppos-
edly law-abiding gents.
If you bet with bookmaker
you are no better than he is,
legally or morally, since break
ing the law is immoral. And if
you know of a bookmaker in
operation anywhere except in
Nevada you have guilty knowl-
edge of an illegality, because
that is about the only place in
the country where bookmakers
are legalizcd.
And it is almost sure thing
that where illegal bookies are
working unmolested by the law,
somebody is taking their sugar
for the privilege. And a situation
of official corruption prevails.
TT IS practically impossible for
L bookmaker TO operate in
, such secrecy that the cops never
get onto him, even though he
may book only out of his pocket.
so to speak. And it is perfectly
obvious that the big bookmaking
establishments known TO exist in
certain cities. occupying much
office space and having many
clerks and much equipment, are
net running under cover and
without the knowledge of the
public officials. Somebody gives.
Somebody takes.
1t is the practice Of some
bookmakers to walk right into
the race tracks, sit in the seats
and take bets from customers
who like the fixed price the
bookies offer better than the
fluctuations OF the machines,
under the very noses of the legal
operators. This is an imprudent
proceeding that / think calls
for clops on the chops more than
anything else, but what about
the customers who connive
in it?
l was about to ask, too, what
about the race track fuzzes, or
cops. who are supposed to know
all bookmakers and to abate
Illicit bookmaking, but / imagine
the cops are deceived into think
ing the bookies arc present for
their health - which is always
good. ~

Pierre Laval.
Every one agrees that Laval.
no matter what he says, will
gradually turn everything over
TO Hitler unless he is stopped
by the French people or by the
United States.
The French people are in
chains, betrayed by their Fas-
cist leaders and starved by their
conquerors.
America is strong and free.
The time has come for us 10

French" and the Free French. !"
The puppets Laval, Darlan
and Petain have chosen the easy
way of collaboration with Hitler.
The Free French have chosen
the hard way; they have sacri-
feed everything save honor and
are now fighting with us.
Are we going to stand aside
and see the Free French on the
outside and the enslaved French
on the inside offered up as a
living sacrifice to appease the
Nazi gods?

TO THE EDITOR:

I HAVE attended several meet
l. ings of air raid wardens and
was surprised that the instruc-
tions were delayed and in some
cases not distinctly heard on
account of distance from the
speaker. particularly. in such
meeting places as auditoriums
in high schools.
In the Northern High School
at the first meeting the delay
was caused by the temporary
absence of a microphone. when
n megaphone would probably
have answered the purpose.
If there should be a possibil-
ity of a raid, each group should
have at least one megaphone, the
cost OF which is nominal.
