LINES FORMED FOR EUROPEAN 1 GAMBLING WAR South American Millions to Be Matched Against Famed Greek Syndicate. - Jfy United Prtti PARIS, March 12.—A great South American gambling syndicate has been formed with a capital of SB,000,000 to battle the famed Greek syndicate and to attack the banks of continental casinos as a purely business proposition. Amletto Batisti, a Uruguayan of Italian origin, who has been holding the baccarat bank at the Gould casino in Nice all winter —the Greek syndicate having walked out until government taxes are reduced—is relief of the new South American syndicate. There is some North American money in it, but the bulk has been subscribed by South Americans, who have assured Battisti that he can double his capital if he needs it. The syndicate will play chiefly in Prance, with occasional voyages to the roulette and baccarat tables of Monte Carlo and Ostende. Gambling Is Big Business “French casinos will see the new South American offensive running at full speed before the end of the present winter season, and some one of the syndicate will be on hand to back any amount of money m any game that any plunger cares to name,” Battisti said. "After all, gambling is a business in the casinos just as it is in Wall Street. We axe business men and hope to pay 50 per cent on our investments.” Not long ago Battisti, while plunging in baccarat at Biarritz, saw his luck turn and losses accumulate until he was 27,000,000 francs down. Casino Trust Urged fc l am glad to lose that much just to prove to the world that cards can and do run against the baccarat banker just the same as they run against the player,” Battisti commented. Battisti has advocated that the casinos of France, eighty-eight in all. ranging from the great gambling palaces of Nice, Cannes, Le Touquct, Biarritz and Deauville to the single tables of such health resorts as Bridcs-Lcs-Bains, should be united in one gigantic trust, the government would have closer supervision.

PLAZA CHURCH HEADS PROTEST PARKING BAN Mayor’* Traffic Committee Will Discuss Proposed Code. Because heads of two churches located on the World war Memorial plaza tracts have filed protests with the safety board against the proposed section of the new traffic code, prohibiting parking around the plaza, a special meeting of the mayor's citizens traffic committee was to be held this afternoon at 2. Letters stated churchgoers would be hampered in finding parking space when they drive and would be required to walk unreasonable distances. This and several other protests to the proposed code will be discussed before the safety board places its stamp of approval on the proposed ordinance.

WHEN YOU GET INDIGESTION Here In Safe, Speedy Relief If you ever have gas, flatulence, uncomfortable “fullness” after meals, or your stomach burns after eating, don’t just wait for the discomfort to pass off. Digestive trouble is nearly always due to excess acid in the stomach which interrupts digestion, ferments food, attacks the stomach lining and may in time be followed by dangerous stomach ulcers. You can avoid this danger and promptly relieve discomfort by taking a little “Blsurated" Magnesiar—either powder or tablets—after meals or whenever pain is felt. Excess acid is instantly neutralized, fermentation stops, gas is dispersed, pain disappears and. the sore inflamed stomach lining is soothed and strengthened. Indirection,', however mild, should neve\- be Ignored, and sufferers the practice of thousands oucr the world, by getting a seamen dockage of “Bisurated” Magnffand.bm Hook Drug Cos. or the nW,st drug store. Its use means domplcte stomach case and freedom from acid indigestion.—Ad- \ ert isement.
