FREKZV SEIZES THE COUNTRY
Treasury Officials Deeply Concerned
Over Situation—May Make Gen
eral Appeal to Public to
Chesk Gambling.
Washington. l>. C.—Approximately
$2,0uo.000,0t>0 chatiged hands last year
as u result of the gambling mania, it
was estimated l-ere on the bnsis 6f
information reaching government
heads through olllcinl and unofficial
channels.
Treasury ofllciais are deeply con
cerned over the situation, which indi
cates. [hey say. that the United States
is still clinging to wasteful and ex
travagant habits that grew up since
the armistice.
The situation has been brought to
the attention of Secretary of Treas
ury Houston. Director William
Mather Lewis of the savings division
now is considering whether a general
appeal to the public through ministers
ami civic societies would be effective
in checking gambling.
Frenzy Seizes Nation.
Lewis has just returned to Washing
ton from a trip through the -country
in which he gave some attention to a
study of the situation.
"Gambling at cards and betting on
racing lias reached a frenzy never be
fore equaled," he said. "Thousands
appeal; to be engaged in it in one form
or another, either US' betting commis
sioners or bettors.
"It Is true that money changing
ownership through games of chance
does "not represent economic waste.
But seldom are winnings put to any
useful economic purpose.
"The federal government, of course,
is powerless to act to check the
mania except through a moral appeal."
No Loss, But No Gain.
Nearly Jl.OOO.OCO.QOO was won at
- . (
poker and other card fames cione
this year, it was estimated. Tar re
ceipt's on sales of playing cards now
average more than $3,000,000 a year.
This Indicates the sale of 40,000,000
packs, which alone coat more than
$15,000,000.
At every race meeting that lasts a
week several million dollars change
hands at the tracks, It is estimated.
This Includes no estimate of the vast
aggregate of sums wagered at places
distant from the tracks through bet
ting commissioners.
U. S. DOOMS BURROS AS PEST
\nimals Charged With Destroying the
Beauty of Grand Canyon of
the Colorado.
Washington.—The lowly burro, en
shrined in western legend as the
heroic prospector, has been officially
classed us a "veritable pest" by tiie
United States government.
This animal, and Its progeny in
countless numbers, abandoned by its
former owners, according to Stephen
T. Mather, director of the national
park service, has selected the Grand
canyon of the Colorado for it; habitat,
and the availability of the canyon's
scenic beauties in consequence are al
most disappearing.
The burro. Sir. Mather says, "de
stroy* the trails, denudes the pastures
of grass and other forage so that na
tive wild game, such as antelope, lias
been forced out." He adds that "the
time is not fur distant wheu rudlcal
steps will have to be taken to elim
inate the burro evil."
SOLUTION FOR FUEL PROBLEM
French Scientist Urges Use of Wind
and Water to Replace
Coal.
I'aris.—Wind and water hold the so
lution of the fuel shortage lu France,
K. t'olardeuu told his associates at the
Academy of Sciences at Its last meet
ing.
He presented what he considered
proof In the results of an Installation
on his kitchen faucet of a water tur
bine which drives a dynamo that
charges storage batteries.
City pressure on the water, he ex
plained. Is sufficient to furnish a
household with electric light.
In the country, M. Colardeail would
install windmills to pump water to ele
vated tanks and utilize the fall of the
water through a pipe to turn the
charging turbine.
New interest has been taken here In
this Idea of household Installations,
because the higher costs of fuel and
power, it is considered, may make
practicable these water turbines.
Serves In Regiment He Commanded.
Camp Sherman, 0.—James G. Bar
ney, first sergeant of company L,
Tenth infantry, is now a "noneom"
in an outfit he once commanded. He
was an emergency major In the regi
ment during the war and commanded
the regiment during the absence of the
colonel. The captain under whom he
serves was once his second lieutenant.
He has been twenty-four years in the
ermy and could have had a commis
sion' but for a physical defect, which
was overlooked during the war emer
gency.
Uncover Huge Ruins at
Garden of Gethsemane
London.—The Palestine de
partment of antiquities, which
had charge of the exploration
work being' carried out in the
city of Ascalon, announces the
discovery of some huge marble
pillars and statues, says a dis
patch from Jerusalem. The de
partment has also unearthed
some medieval and Fourth cen
tury churches and moslac pave
ments at the foot of the Mount
of Olives, leading Into the Gar
den of Gethsemane.
