IS GAMBLING MAD ' National Capital Has a Bad , Case of Betting FeverMany Go Broke Daily > - u. S. EMPLOYES — Wager Thousands Every Day on Horse Races—- “ Who Won?” is Query (United Press Service) Washington, Juno 21—(Special to Daily Democrat)— Expectant eyes turned towards a big blackboard, a throng filled Pennsylvania avenue, overflowing across the street car tracks, impeding automobile traffic, refusing to heed the admonitions of three policemen. All eyes focused' upon the blackboard, where presently a youth with a piece of chalk inscribed three names followed by cabalistic numbers. A buzz of conversation swept the crowd. There was a mingling of satisfaction and grumbling, with plenty of curses under the breath. Shrill voices of women were heard, and their presence was further marked by the gayest dreses and hats. It was the regular afternoon gathering of a few of the race betters of the national capital. Inside the newspaper office operators were ceaselessly answering the query “Who won?” and the inevitale sequel, “What did it pay?” Washington is gambling mad. No city in the country, so the knowing professional gamblers say, has a worse case of betting fever. Government employes by the thousands wager every afternoon a sum that in the aggregate looks like an item from an appropriation bill before evongress. There are bookmakers or their agents in all the government buildings. When Geo. Carter took office as public printer, he found horse race gambling among employes of the government printing office so widespread that he was forced to suspend some employes and to threaten general dismissal to stop it. Women as well as men were “plunging” and, according to Carter’s investigation, devoting more time to a study of "form charts” and “dope sheets” on the horses than to their duties. There’s the case of a young man who not so long ago was a secretary to somebody of importance. He was thinking about getting married, he said, so he saved his money. It amounted to $3,000 when he started betting, with visions of a big pile of easy money. He”s a taxicab driver today, and he isn't thinking about anything muuch except getting three meals and a bed. There’s a telegraph operator with a good job, who follows a regular routine, saving religiously until he has S3OO, then, spending it all on the ponies. When it’s gone he starts in to save another S3OO. He has a “system.” A young woman who came here as a war worker and lost her position with the signing of the armisitce is reputed among her friends to have won $12,000 on the races since then. She expects to lose it all some of these days. “Then, she said, “I'm going back to Minnesota, where the only horses ; I’ll know anything about will be the I kind you hitch to a plow or a wagon.” TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION WANTED —Good, steady reliable girl for general house work. No family washing. ’Phone 258. 116-t4x Heck Hensley, Shucks Shoemaker and Norman Barthel went to Columbia City today to attend the installation of an Elks’ chapter there this evening.

Lafayette, Ind., June 21. —A week ago the first larvae of the codling moth or apple worm were leaving apples in southern Indiana. A study of these conditions and those in Illinois as reported from the state en tomologist there, show that the first spray for the second brood should be completed from Mitchell and Vincennes south by July 1; from Bloomington south by July 5; from Noblesville south by July 8; Fort Wayn south by July 12; and the extreme north end of the state by July 18. Purdue university horticulturists and entomologists point out that the spray for the second brood of codling moth should not be omitted for even though the crop is short. Even a partial crop is worth saving. The second brood spray comes a little earlier this year than usual. Health Bulletin Issued by Purdue. Plain pointers on keeping well, including some of the most simple but frequently neglected practices, are contained in a new leaflet No. 117, just off the press of the agricultural extension department of Purdue university. “Health Clubs” is the title of the leaflet, and its authors, Miss Grace King of the club division and Miss Laura Partch of the home economics’ department have designed it especially for girls clubs, organized throughout the state. However, it contains information and reminders of consilerable value to adults as well. It may be obtained free on re- | quest.
