GOULD ENTERED CASINO WAR AS BUSINESSMAN Chief Croupier Reveals Inside Story of Nice Gambling. Editor's Note—Lift an eyebrow when anyone tells you of a famous actress breaking the bank of Monte Carlo. Nice •r Cannes, advises Edouard Baudoin. As chief of Frank Jay Gould's army of professional croupiers engaged in the new *5,000.000 gambling palace at Nice. Baudoin nss written the following article on some ■•inside" problems at the Riviera Casinos. BY EDOUARD BAUDOIN, Chief Croupier for Frank Jay Gould (Wntten sot the United Press* NICE, Dec. 27.—Gambling long since has ceased to be a game of chance and has developed into one of the best paying business enterprises in the world. It is as a business man and not as a gambler that the youngest of the Goulds has launched into the baccarat industry of the Riviera and declared war on the firmly intrenched gambling lords of Monte Carlo and Cannes. Gambling Is a luxury for the rich. Running a casino for vacationing millionaires is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Mast gamblers are eccentric, but especially wealthy gamblers who play for the sport of winning rather than for the money they may make. The average impression is that nowadays, all one must do to get rich rapidly is to build a casino, manage it. and in a few years retire with a huge fortune. Rarely Sleep T am here telling for the first time just this bit of personal information. My friends call me “the man who never sleeps.” Last summer I was engaged in conducting our casino at Juan Les Pins. Since the Palais De La Mediterranee opened this fall, I have slept in it, in a private room near my public office, every day between the hours of four and eight, mornings. The rest of the time, I am engaged in arranging many matters, principally waiting and watching lest any incident arise to offend some client and above all in connection with the baccarat room. The rule of all well-conducted casinos is that there must be no incidents. People do not commit suicide any more, or fight about losses or winnings. Thank heaven. But we directors ever are sitting over a volcano. Lowenstein, the Belgian financier, turned up on one of his hurried trips at Biarritz, a short time before he lost his life falling from an airplane into the English channel. He was wearing street clothes and went so dressed in the evening to the casino. The door-keeper told hi n he should be dressed in at least a dinner jacket. The financier flew into a rage, told the man whe he was, and attempted to push by. The doorkeeper, used to having stray visitors give big names, blocked the way. There was a fight, and police were called. Lowenstein never returned. Handed to Woman It has been related that an American financier and industrial magnate arrived at Pleasure Coast casino one. evening, played heavily, and won a lot of money, between $50,000 and $60,000. The croupier or director des jeux or chef of that table thought the man would not mind if his winnings went, into the hands of a good-looking woman frequenter of the place, standing about the table, perhaps with the idea that later she would divide. The money was handed to her in such an adroit way that the American could not demand it without appearing a, poor sport, unwilling to .help a woman loser. The American financier went out in a furious frame of mind. The public probably is familiar With reports of the heavy winnings and losings of certain people, but these famous actresses or social stars generally are hired at so much a day for their presence. Sometimes struggling casinos engage actresses or famous motion picture stars to visit their places, to attract the public. These stars really play with stage money, because it is understood that, win or lose, they must not keep any of the gain.

jfsf Home from school \ with a bad cough -—Back in school the next day "Will I ever forget the fright I had when Jane came home from school coughing, coughing—one cough right after * the other. I put her to bed immediately and gave her a teaspoonful of Smith Brothers Cough Syrup every hour. 'That night my little Jane slept peacefully. In the morning she smiled again—well as ever. I will be grateful all my life to Smith Brothers Cough Syrup Mrs. A Robeson. Smith Brothers Triple Action Cough Syrup works so efficiently because 1. It soothes. 2. Is mildly laxative. 3. Clears air passages. Children like the flavor. Mride by the makers of X. Smith Brothert* Drop* / Famous since 184?. — 135 SMITH COUCH SYRUP

Production will be resumed at the Ford Motor Company assembly plant, 1315 East Washington street, Jan. 2, with full working force, George J. Steinmetz, manager, said today. Eight hundred workmen were laid oil at the plant in November, when. | ; production was suspended to give j j dealers opportunity to clear stocks j I from their salesrooms. Three hun- j dred were used in truck building l i and remodeling the plant. ! Normal output of 160 passenger: | cars daily probably will not be | reached for several weeks because of shortage of material, but 100 autos will be manufactured daily after Thursday, said Steinmetz. Employes returning Thursday will benefit from a $7 weekly wage increase instituted by Henry Ford Dec. 1, Steinmetz said today. The raise augments the annual pay roll of the local plant $350,000.
