as such But / am not going 20
argue the matter with you
Anyway. that has nothing 20
DO with solving the problem Of
the congestion at the New York
tracks where millions of dollars
90 through the pari-mutuel
machines and millions Of dollars
more are shut out" because
Of lack OF time and facilities for
handling the money al the bet
ting windows.
l claim that the answer is not
proposed new and larger racing
plants, but the licensing Of
bookmakers away from the
tracks. perhaps 100 in the
greater city, thus giving the
general public an opportunity 10
bet on the horses without hav-
ing TO give up an entire half day
TO 60 20 the tracks.
AS IT is now conducted in
"A New York state. horse rae
ing is a gambling monopoly
largely for the benefit of the
owners Of the plants and the op-
orators Of the pari-mutuel ma
chimes. and the public may par
ticipate IN the betting only at
considerable expense Of money
and time but under intolerable
conditions.
The state is a partner in this
racket through taxation but IT
would also be a partner in the
licensed bookmaking that / sug-
gest and. instead of losing
through the betting away from
the tracks, would be a big
gamer because the betting
would surely increase. The
tracks might lose a few admis-
SionS but l think even the track
owners will admit that this
would be all for the best.
NOV let me say again what I
~ have often Stated-that I
think gambling on horse racing
or anything else is wrong II
is wrong morally because il
undermines the character Of
both men and women who be-
come confirmed gamblers. II is
wrong from an economic stand
point because il diverts into
iniquitous channels money that
should go 10 the upkeep of
household. Gambling in general
Is a disease. One Of its worst
forms is betting on the horses.
N. But the American people are
going 10 gamble There is moth
ing that can be- said and done
that will prevent them from
gambling. Therefore. / hold that
they should be permitted 20 do
their gambling under conditions
Of convenience.

WASHINGTON Scene
By George Dixon

THE Poor Helen Club, Wash
ington chapter held its first
meeting of the fall season the
other night. The minutes of the
previous meeting were adopted
as read, after which the men,
bers gave the club yell: Poor
Helen, I don't see how she
stands it, and then proceeded
TO the business Of the evening,
which was 10 get reasonably
potted
The Poor Helen Club is COM
prised of persons who go about
bemoaning the sad fate of Miss
Helen Hayes, the actress. The
members are convinced that
Miss Hayes has a cruel cross 10
bear in the person of her hus-
band, 1t. Col. Charles Mac
Arthur.
Col. Macarthur is now back
IN civilian clothes, having re-
tired from the army last week
at the statutory retirement age
of 10S-in the shade.
A fter watching the brave
Macarthur suffer through the
evenings ordeal like an officer
and gentleman. a number of
us more fair minded citizens de-
cided to form a rival organiza-
tion TO be known as the Poor

WE SUBMIT this is only JUS
w tice because Mr.. Macarthur
has taken a fearful beating
down the years, most of il ut
terly undeserved. You would go
far 10 find a gentleman as re-
strained and retiring. In fact
you would go so far you would
probably never come back.
Many citizens profess TO be-
lieve that Mr.. Macarthur lives
his private life like the ribald
characters in his famous play
Front Page" But the truth IS
that many Of the things for
which he stands indicted were
in no wise his fault
Mr.. Macarthur was playing
host to Miss Hayes mother,
the redoubtable Mrs. Catherine
Brown. / called upon them In
company with Mr.. Walter
O'Keefe, the comedian.
Mr.. Macarthur took us into
the kitchen and explained that
his mother-in-law had not been
sleeping well of late.
"She Is not young" he said
solicitously. "She should not be-
staying up like this. So, To In
sure that she gets proper rest,
have just spiked her drink with
the biggest shot of sleeping po-
ton you ever saw"
We adjourned 20 the living
room. Mrs. Brown. as spritely
as all get-out and looking IN
positively no need Of sleep. kept
up a running fire of banter with
Mr.. O'Keefe. AS the converSa-
tion progressed, Mr.. MacAr-
thur kept favoring each Of us
in turn with a broad "it-won't-
be-long-now" wink.
