The aluminum industry is not considered to have too good a labor record. The same with the lumber industry.

Swe BET KNOW’ ‘WHY, but there are more slot. ‘machines in operation ‘in Indianapelis right now than foi several .years. . Almost -every private little club has its supply of the one-armed bandits and they all seem to be earning a swell return—for the ‘operators. The “take” of the operators, «we. hear, runs variously from 20 ‘per cent to: 35 per cent. In other words, for every $100. played on a slot’ machine, the

machine keeps anywhere from $20

to $35. For the most part, the -“clubs which have machines do not own them, although a few do. The general! run of affairs seems to be that the machines are owned and kept running by private - operators who split . the “take” with the clubs.

IN THE TAPESTRY of American literature, there is no gayer Styang hat the writings of Arthur Kober, poet-laureate of the Bronx. Mr. Koher created ‘the Gross family (Poppa, Momma and Bella) for the New Yorker magazine. But by and by the Gross family created Arthur Kober, whose fame rests on his peculiar ability to transcribe this fantastic section of New York City in all of its natural humor. “My Dear. Bella” is a collection of Gross family tories, featuring Poppa Gross in his droopy suspend- . ers, Momnia; the “soiving goil,” in the home, and, of course, Bella, “the dotter.” “There is a wealth of folk humor in these sketches, with their geoqd-kearted, everyday comedy. The best test of Mr. Kober’s accuracy is to have a Bronx dweller read them aloud with ‘gestures. The enjoyment index is terrific and if the reader gets hysterics, he can’t help it. That is the way it is, only it took Arthur Kober to see it that way. It should be remembered that Mr. Kober is first of all a playwright with a sharp ear for dialog (he wot: “Having a Wonderful Time”). : That ht explain why “My Dear Bella” is. nearly | all dialog so‘ rich and expressive that little else is but stage directions. And that is what Mr, x r has used for’ description—stage directions. _ This is perhaps what' makes it so difficult to read. Bella” in the same room with another per’
