London Gamblers Reap Rich Harvest From Moneyed Officers.

Earl C. Reeves f STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N SERVICE1

LON'DOX (by mail). The general rpeeding up of h!1 forms of amusement and frivolity which has developed since the armistice, is responsible for many

a crooked "killing'' among the gamblers of the 'West Knd, according to detectives who have been endeavoring to run gamKin? to the ground. Kgularly organized gangs of crooks, with women decoys, ply there, it is said, and find joung officers, with sudden wealth in the form of army gratuities particularly gullible. "Pigeon fanciers" is the police name for some of the most notorious docoys who help in the organized business of plucking young officers. The Jazz dance and the tango tea are happy hunting grounds for these girls. Exit most of the gambling is done on outlying suburbs. Having a man interested, it is no task to lead him to some private house where a stiff and exciting game of bridge is in progress, or long sessions of poker, with the sky limit, may be had. "Twenty-one" is also a favorite, offering many chances for cheating. If the young one doesn't take to cards, there are ways of inducing lavish giving of presents, and those go into the "combine" pool and are sold, proceeds going to the general fund, along with gambling winnings. Two former international card sharps who have recently appeared in London re suspected of having formed machines for the fleecing, but the workings of such schemes are difficult to trace. The West End is only the hunting ground, the games are scattered fax and wide over the city. The agents, and the "Fijreon fanciers" are mostly new converts to the underworld since the revival of night life permitted by relaxation of Defense of the Realm acta. And the victims are such great believers in

"sportsmanship" that they seldom complain. Many of the officers consider ths cratultiee, running into hundreds of

pounds, so much money "found," any

nay, and they have deliberately set out

to have a time with it. so they are scl

dom concerned over the manner of its

going.

In prominent clubs where there Is no

question of organized gambling for fleecing purposes, tremendous sums are

reported changing hands. Eight hun

dred dollars is reported as changing hands at a single sitting at one famous

club. But. even here, there is a breath

of suspicion-, for one of the winners has no visible means of support beyond his

phenomenal "luck" at cards.

LESSONS IN OPTOMETRY BY E. C. CARROLL Of Carroll A Newton X,ES30S EIO-HTEEW. Is there any class of people who are especially subject to eye strain? Tea, those who do near work, such as reading, sewing, or desk work naturally are liable to strain their eyes.

I it possible for a person whose eyes are normal lo have eye strain? Tes, the class referred to above, constant readers, or WTiters, or those whose work requires constant near use of the eyes, often have eye strain even though their eys ar normal. "What rlief has Optometry to offer to folks who have normal sight, yet who suffer from eye strain by reason of the excessive near work they do? Glasses fcan fbe prescribed tfor near use only, and the wearing of such would help their eyes greatly, and remove the strain. , CARROLL & NEWTON Optometrists and Jewelers 186 State St., Hammond, Ind.

Federal Purchases of Real Estate Are More Businesslike Since War

riNTENT!ONAL NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON, Jure. It has remained for the war to teach Uncle Sam how to buy real estate. In days gone by the government al

ways had followed a helter-skelter policy of acquiring rroperty, departments often bidding aftainst each other for desired holdings, with tha result that this lack of system possibly Invited machinations of speculators and profiteers. But with the establishment of the Real Estate and Commandeering Division all this became a thing of the past, for three citizens' committees, composed of real estate men and often assessors, were established in each locality where the government was to purchase rroperty. "Scouts'' men familiar with real es

tate values formed an important part of the machinery, and through their reports tha government was able to save many thousands of dollars. Rotary clubs. Boards of Trade and similar organizations co-operated, with the result that, for instance, it would turn out this way: The government wanted a certain piece of property f"r which the owner asked J2.000. The tax assessor placed a valuation of $7f; the mayor. $947; the Rotary club. $?50: the Board of Trade. $1,000; the Chamber of Commerce. $1,200. So from these figure" an average would be arrived at, and thi3 price offered the owner. And usually

it was accepted, the bureau resorting to condemnation only as a last resort. .-"The bureau will leave the nation a valuable heritage in a system whica will stand as a safeguard for all time against overcharges in government realty transactions," said "William E. Shannon, who organized the bureau. "It is not likely that the system will die with the bureau. Sound business judgment will demand that it be standardized on a peace basis. Congress and the popl15 will want to know why property for federal purposes should not be acquired at Its actual value In peace times as well as In war times. That

one of the government departments should be disignated to establish the methods of this bureau for all federal realty transactions in the future scarcely can be questioned ir the light of facts as to its economic potentialities."
