TALLAHASSEE, May IA A
motion by Rep. Bernard c. Papy
Of Key West to exempt Monroe
County from a bill prohibiting
the leasing Of private wires to
bookmakers was defeated by the
House here today, 80 to SO.
The bill prohibits telephone
and telegraph companies from
leasing private wires for gam
bling purposes. Persons seeking
to lease a private wire would
have to apply to the state rail-
road commission. Copies of the
application would 60 to the state
attorney of the local circuit and
to the attorney general.
Papy's motion was one of a
series which were made as oppon-
ents fought desperately to kill
the controversial measure. A final
vote on the bill is expected to-
day.
Leading the fight TO postpone
or amend the measure are Reps.
Papy, Joe Jenkins of Gaines

thirds vote required to waive
the rules. However. the bill
heads the calendar today and
since it is on third reading, can
not be amended.

The first interesting point In
this letter is its date, Feb. 20.
The Miami sale started Feb
fuary n and was already well
under way which the letter was
received by Welters. It is true
that this particular letter could
not have been written earlier.

letter from Welters. One won
ders, however, why telegram
could not have been sent by Cal

was inquiring specifically about

The second interesting feature
Of this letter is it's statement
that I'VE are reserving IS ma

put on sale on on about March
20 al Key West. Welters inform
ed Saunders at once after recaivl

The four transmitter towers of
KOOL, Phoenix new radio station,
form one of the most elaborate
radio engineering installations, and
the only one of its kind, in the West.
Located on Chicago avenue between
Mcdowell and Thomas Roads,
KOOL transmitters are constructed
in a straight line one-quarter of a
mile in distance, and each tower
stands 256 feet in the air. Twenty
five miles of copper ground wiring
are plowed underground and radiate
from the four transmitter towers.
KOOL, one of the two most pow
erful stations in the state, is Sched-
uled to begin broadcasting opera
tions about June 81, and will carry
the complete programs of the Don
Lee and Mutual Broadcasting Sys-
TENS, to be heard for the first time
in the Phoenix area.

peders in chartering the only vessel
afloat in San Francisco harbor.
This happened to be the w. S.
Phelps, an ancient three masted
schooner. They loaded their gear,
and dogs, and sailed across the Bay,
out the Golden Gate, and managed
to get about 200 miles on their way
when the ship sprang leak. But
for the quick work of the sailors,
they would have finished their
search for gold before they had
hardly begun.
However, they were able to get
back to Frisco and put the ship in
dry-dock to have her reconditioned
Then they started out again and
this time had an uneventful voyage.
When they arrived near Eyack
Station near the Copper River es-
tuary, one of A. BIS sled dogs was
so overcome with the aroma .ano
sight of land that he decided he
could get there faster on his own
so he jumped overheard. But it was
too far for him to make it, and he
was called back and some of the
big huskies on board hoisted him
on deck. A. B. says he was a dandy
dog, part st. Bernard and part
Australian shepherd.

We have always thought Johnny
Ferris was a rather attractive young
man, but last week he frightened a
young miss so that she locked the

was the Pancho Villa style hat and
the fancy embroidered shirt.

The President
Goes Fishing

The finny jewellers of the deep
They are panic stricken now,
At the Presidents arrival
In his plane, The Sacred Cow.
The barracuda, startled, stunned,
To the grouper news relayed;
Ard tidings swiftly spreading
The tribes all dismayed.
The turbot blew a warning blast
Upon his conch-shell horn,
And the whispering kingfish said
The outlook seemed forlorn.
Then, scaly couriers swimming
fast
Through ashland tidings spread
That whosoever grasped at bait
Such fish would soon be dead.
For, Truman mighty angler bold,
Would fish no quarter give,
His willy lures must be eschewed
If they would deign to live.
Here's to our fishing President,
God-speed and good luck too,
May Angels watch and guard you
AS life you journey through.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

The planned Parenthood
Federation of America re-
ports that a survey of Is, 900
physicians throughout the
nation showed 97.8 per cent
approved birth troll
measures for health reasons.
The survey, conducted by
DR.. Alan F. Guttmacher
of the Johns Hopkins Medi-
cal School, also showed that
1914 per cent of the physi-
clans recorded themselves in
favor of birth control for
economic reasons.
The doctor said that the
West represented the most
favorable opinion, with the
South next. The Central
States were in third posi-
ton, while the Northeast
cast the least number of
votes in approval.
In connection with the
campaign for the planned
parenthood, DIR. Guttmach-
er stressed four positive"
points. He would encourage
American women to have
children while young and
large families for those who
can endow their offspring
with normal herdity and the
ordinary expectancy of free
dom from want. He would
also encourage the infertile
to overcome their illness, for
this is what he calls the in
ability to beget children,
and he would encourage
marriage councillors to help
keep families together and
curb the mounting divorce
rate.
