AGUA CALIENTE GAMBLERS OFF GOLD STANDARD Silver Dollar Now King Where Golden Stacks Once Changed Hands. BV NORMAN B. DEUEL I nited Pr. Staff Corrr.nondrnt AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico, Feb. 20 —The room where motion picture celebrities and favorites of the stock market fingered stacks of gold, while roulette wheels whirred and cards flicked at the caprice of fortune is dark today in the west's most palatial gambling resort. Because even the most reckless of Hollywood spenders now prefers the click of a camera to that of the little ivory ball, and the bull market players are near the breadline, Agua Caliente has gone off the gold standard. Seldom open now is the "gold room," where five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces were the chips, the smallest bet $lO, and evening clothes were required for admittance. Gold Room Seldom Used When the "gold room" is used, the minimum bet has been reduced to sl. In the main gambling casino, where one often could not approach the tables closely enough to place a bet, now dealers on occasions stand 1 idle, waiting for customers. Agua Caliente still is doing business at the old stand—its gross! runs between SIOO,OOO and $500,000! a month—but in no way to compare ! with the boom days. In the good old days before the ! depression, the net profit on gambling at Caliente was said to be $1,000,000 a month. Talmadges Wagered Thousands Those were the days when the Talmadge sisters were said to have won and lost as much as SIOO,OOO in an evening. There still is heavy play on occasion. The motion picture colony still patronizes and spends. Convention delegates make a one-day stop, and there arc still a few playboys and girls with money. In the casino, the clubhouse fconnected with the race track) and at the dog track the gambler has his choice of roulette, blackjack, chuck-a-luck and "craps.” Half Dollars Good on Wheel Except at roulette, he may not bet less than sl. Half dollars may be played on the "wheel.” “Seven straight,” anew gambling idea for race track followers, was inaugurated this year. One may buy a ticket for two dollars, naming the horses he expects to win in each of the seven races. The player is guaranteed $5,000 if he “hits” all seven, and may win as much as $25,000. But the mathematical chances are in the hundreds of thousands against him. YOUNG WOMAN KILLED IN FALL: FLIER HELD Plunges Seven Stories; Murder Charge Is Facing Aviator.

80-Acre Laboratory Butler Botanical Students Will Learn Fundamentals of Gardening.

Operating a "laboratory” of eighty acres of ground, Butler university botanical students this year will learn fundamentals of gardening in a class to be directed by Willard Clute, it is announced. The “laboratory” owned by Butler and situated near the campus will provide room for instruction of more than four hundred persons.

“In this class we hope to teach students what and how to plant and how to use the produce. We will, of course, raise things that can be used to best advantage,” Clute said. “Our hope is that through these experimental gardens, we will enlarge the diet range of Indianapolis. My personal hope is that each gardener taking instructions in this class will raise at least one or two plants of every vegetable that grows in this section of the country. "The class will be one in practical dirt gardening.” The class, which is to be organized in co-operation with Mayor Sullivan's committee for gardens, and with men from Leisure Hour clubs, will have as its objective instruction, practical work in the gardens and classification of result.

A RATHER murky mysticism and a very real and deep feeling for the living earth give “Saunders Oak,” by Robert Raynolds, an unusual and distinctive atmosphere —a blend of ecstasy and eerie dread that makes the book, for all its faults, one that you are likely to remember. This novel tells how lusty Ed Saunders, the last of his line, returns after two decades of wild and fruitless wandering to the New England farm of his ancestors. His farm is to be a haven for him. Having roamed afar, he wants, now, a home, wants to take root in the friendly soil and claim his heritage among the greeen hills. But life is so complicated that the task isn’t easy. Adjoining his land is the farm home of Lavinia, the sweetheart of his youth, now an aging, frustrated and embittered housewife. And to Ed Saunders’ farm comes Opal, the outcast woman who would not let him bury his wild past. For a third complication there is Edith, Lavinia’s daughter, who tramps the hills at night, writes impassioned verse, ar,.d steeps herself in a vague and shadowy mysticism. With these three women the man’s life now is entwined; and to the working out of his plot, Mr. Raynolds brings a certain dark power—a feeling of dread, a sense of mystery, an awareness of beauty, ably interwoven. The one trouble is that the feeling of reality is missing. You never quite feel that you are reading about flcsh-and-blood people. “Saunders Oak” is published by Harpers and is priced at $2.50.
