slammed his remaining ten dollars
into the growing pot.
My cards says another five
raise" Takashi tried to sound calm,
but he knew he was almost shout
ing. Takashi was scared, especially
when that ten was his last, except
for the diminishing pile of silver.
Amt worth it, Creeps murmur-
ed and added his cards to the pile
of discarded hands.
Johnny counted out eight dollars
and without hesitation called.
Sadao looked at Taksshi and
laughed:
Feeling prosperous, TAX? What if
I bump back, you got enough to
come along?"
Takashi almost let his fist fly.
His knuckles turned white as he
frightened his fist, but instead he
shouted back:
Sure, I can take your damned
bumps. anytime!" Takashi was
thinking about the envelope in his
hip pocket when he said that and
hoped Sadao wouldn't bump back.
We'll, that's nice to hear. In that
case it's going to cost money to tag
along in this game Let's make the
game more interesting say to
the tune of another ten" Sadao
stood up again and fingered his
bills and added another ten.
Takashi didn't know what to do.
He wasn't sure of himself. If he
wanted to go along with the game,
It meant that he would have to
take out the money from the en-
velope. His face turned red and
then he reached for the envelope.
The money wasn't his own 1t be-
longed to the company he worked
for. He was supposed to have turn
ed the money over to the manager,
but when Takashi returned from
the message, the manager had gone
home. Eighty dollars rested in the
envelope, Eight fresh ten dollar bills
were itching his palm.
Besides, if l win this hand
I'll be just about even I'll be
able to return the money and no
one will know the difference" Ia
kashi though for moment and
then ripping the envelope open he
drew out one ten dollar bill
III only take one :. I'm not
going to touch the rest. I'm not
going to use anymore of the money"
So thinking and solemnly promising
to himself, Takashi threw in the
ten.

DC. Paper Says in Rapping Land Law

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. l3
(ADC)-The Washington Post this
week commented editorially upon
the California alien land law. and
suggested that should the Masaok
test case go to the U. S. Supreme
Court it would be in order for th1
Solicitor General to intervene be-

The Post pointed out the Solici o.
tor General has taken the position
he cannot intercede on behalf of
the plaintiffs while the case still IS
before California State courts.
The Post editorial said:
Most of the discriminatory Fed
eral and State legislation aimed at
persons of Oriental ancestry has by
now been removed from the statute
books by judicial or legislation ac-
ton. All of it ran counter to dsmo-
cratic doctrine if not to constitu-
tional principles. California still has

Up in a small second floor room
sat six tired, sleepless boys huddled
around grey blanket-covered table,
smoking necessarily while peerine
intently at the cards in their hands.
The room itself looked as if brew
ers cyclone had turned the place
upside down. Empty bser bottles
we're strewed around and under the
table Half full bottles sat prec sri-
ously on the edge of the table and
under the foot of the bed upon
which two players sat.
This was one of the many poker
games that went On around the city.
This was the game where, when a
guy was down in the chips, placed
all his hopes and chances on that
change of luck The man with a
lucky streak spoke sarcastically and
rode his fellow players.
Takashi was down. He was down
more than his pocketbook could
take, but still he continued to play,
hoping that his luck would change
His pockets we're empty. excep.
for that envelope in his hip pocket,
and what remained On the table.
My luck's got to change some
time" Takashi thought as he. shut
fled the cards nervously His hands
felt sticky with sweat as he finger
ed the cards.
Sadao sneered as he counted the
bills stacked up in front of him.
Carefully he piled the silver in neat
rows as Takashi placed the cards
in front of him to cut.
You can't beat a good man when
it comes to poker" Sadao sarcasti-
cally remarked.
"Shutup Sad Sack" Johnny NUT
tired angrily from the other side
of the table.
Takashi wordlessly dealt the
cards.
Low ball"
Each player silently picked his
cards up. Sadao smiled as he looked
a joker in the face. He famed the
rest and made mental note of the
five, six. jack and ace His luck
was still with him, he thought as
he closed his cards and pulled ano-
ther cigarette from the package.
Young Creeps opened the betting
with deuce and George shook his
head and threw in his cards. John
ny closed one eye and scratched
his head He counted out two dol
lars in silver and dropped it into
the pot. The muffled jingle of the
silver on the blanket seemed to
shock the silence.
No room for me on this hand"
muttered Jimmy as he threw away
his five cards.
A Raise,
It was a habit with Sadao to
stand up whenever he raised. It
gave him feeling of sup, riority,
or so it seemed to the others. Sadao
stood up and cupping his cards
with his hand he peeled off five
from his stack of bills and careless
ly flipped it into the pot.
Even five to tag along boys"
Takashi half rose from his stool.
He hated the way Sadao said it, He
could feel the anger mounting with
in him.
He thinks he's pretty good E. :.
trying to scare me out of the game"
Takashi thought bitterly. Takashi
took another look at his cards as

Local Doctor To Run For
Madison County Coroner

The Madison County Medical
Society has made public that it
will endorse one of its members
as definite candidate for the Of
flee of coroner in the May prim-
ary election.
Spokesman for the organization
revealed Jan. 18 that it is the pos
tive intention of one of their
members to file for the office
prior to the Feb. 6 deadline. While
the name of the candidate was not
made known at the present time,
it was believed that the candidate
will be a London physician.
At the same time it was made
known that the Madison County
Board of Health had previously
recommended that a licensed
physician file for the office.
1t was pointed out that Ohio
law specifics that only a licensed
physician may hold the office un-
less some other person has con-
tinuously held the office prior to
the change in the law in 1887.
Too, it was said, Madison is one
of few counties in Ohio which does
not have a licensed physician in
the office. Prior to the 1897 am
erdments, any person could hold
such office should he be elected.
It was further pointed out that
the present coroner has contin-
uously held the office since before
the change in the law and may
continue SO long as he does not
resign or is defeated in a regular
election. The new candidate must
file on or before the deadline Feb
ruary 6 which is go days prior to
election day May s.

Stop That
Water Lea ak!

Have you leaky faucet in
your house?
Well, if you do it's probably
costing you more money than
you realize. Let's take a look
at how much water can be
wasted by the simple drip-drip
Of the tap in your kitchen sink.
BY actual measurement if the
faucet drips at the rate of 5
drops per second you will waste
400 gallons of water per month.
It's easy to see what two or
three leaks of this sort would
mean to your water bill.
A steady leak mounts up
lot faster. For instance a 1892
inch hole would waste about
1000 gallons per month and
would cost you $3.50,
An 1/6 inch hole would bring
the figures to $4,000 gallons
and would cost you S49.15 in
hard cash. Better see to it that
you don't have any leaks
around the house!
