New York, March 20.—New York- ers who play the races telephoned their bets to police headquarters the other day and were sore birds when the ponies they picked as winners failed to fatten their bank rolls. In its crusade against betting the police department has gone in the pool room business—at least that's the way the betters have it doped. A pair of detectives from headquar- ters in an office on William street, got all the information from bet- ting headquarters and received about fifty bets from clients who stand well enough to bet “‘markers.” Some of these bets were on win- ners, and it was the howl brought out by the lucky ones which brought out true facts. They are calling the cops welchers. When the day’s races ended the police had collected all the informa- tion they wanted. The regular pool rooms are down on the police lists and raids galore were in prospect. A few weeks back it looked like efforts to interest women in boxing hereabouts had failed. But the other night, when 200 of the feminine fans gathered at Sixty-nine Regiment ar- mory to witness a boxing tournament in aid of the city’s poor, pessimists changed their spiel and agreed that beskirted ringside bugs will be able to master the game pretty soon. The tournament was for charity, and that brought a lot of women who other- wise would not have attended, but the simon-pure boxing microbe stung some of the girls at that. MODEL CITY OF JUVENILES. Municipality In Illinois Run by Young People of Both Sexes. When the Educational Club ot Ridge- wood, Ill, confronted with the fact that it was doing much for the minds of adults, but was neglecting the cbil- dren, decided to form a model city ot Juveniles within the city to train the young in practical citizenship, the idea was immediately popular amoug the children The city bas been organized and christened *Ridgewoodville” and has the distinction of being the most complete child city in the world. The children bave elected municipal officials, from mayor down, and now bave a board of aldermen, police force, street department and all other essen tials of the well modeled municipality As n means of interesting boys and girls—yes, girls, too—in the responsi- bility of good citizensbip and the sci- ence of municipal government the plan has proved a great success. After the city was declared duly or. ganized amid the enthusiasm of every boy and girl it was decided to visit the various city departments and of- fices of Ridgewood, Joliet and other neighboring cities to note how .the af- falis of ench were conducted. The chbildren, of course, were especially in terested in the police and fire depart. ments, and the municipal officials glad- ly showed them the operations of each The chief of the Joliet fire department went so far as to offer the embryo Juvenile city some spare apparatus of its fire department, an offer which was regretfully not taken advantage of be- cause the child city had no buildings in which to house the equipment. When it came to organizing the po- lice department every boy was eager to be elected chief of police, but Her bert Scheik was nnanimously chosen ] The policemen were selected under civ- i1 service. The examination was prac- tically the same as that required by the city of Joliet. Eight boys took the “quiz” and every one passed. Ridgewoodville is governed entirely by its juvenile officials elected at a regular election by its juvenile citi- zens. No grownups hold office, al- thongh they attend meetings of the of- Belals as advisers and citizens. Their advice the children are not bound to accept. It Is In every sense a city of the children The youngsters divided the city into three wards. Two aldermen, one boy and a girl, are selected from each ward. The children are strong for equal suffrage, and the boys insist that the girls shall have a fair division of power in the government and in all other rights and privileges. The problem of financing the juve nile city was one requiring more than ordinary attention. The department of parks and playgrounds came in for special attention. It was found that the only immediate expenditures faced were for athletic supplies, so the chil dren spent their first city cash for ath fetics. A baseball nine was organized among the boys and a basket ball tenm among the girls. Some of the adult advisers wanted un appropriation for streets. but the replied that all the work would be done by the children, thus saving that expense. A local bank c¢ashier was secured to deliver an address on the issuing of municipal bonds, and the children were taken on a tour of one of the banks.

Joplin, Mo., is justly proud of its new wunicipal market. built at a c¢st of $806.000 secured by bonds voted by the people. It is a fireproof, re-enforced coucrete structure spacious enough to contain twenty-eight booths. These booths rent for $5 to $15 a month Each one is provided with running wa ter, gas and electric light, all provided by the eity. On the main floor of the building there is a smoking room and rest room generounsly supplied with current m:g azines and farm perjodicals. The war ket master's office and the city scales are on the same Hoor. The market master is a civil service appointee. His salary ranges from $000 to $1.200. ac cording to the amount of business transacted at the market The warket is absolutely controlled by this official who in turn is under supervision bY the city commission. Joplin IS now un der the commission form of govern ment, The second floor of the warket build ing Is in its way an important local in stitution. It contains a women's rest room and an awditorium that will seat 500. The auditorium is intended for farmers’ meetings or for assemblages of civie bodies. For farmers' meetings no charge is made City folks who meet there pay at the rate of §2 a night. Back of the market house is ample parking space for wagons and trucks. This space is also used as an open trading ground. The market plant cov- ers an entire block and is located on the principal thoroughfare of the city Joplin is n city of ported by lead and . new wmavket has been going only a short time, but there is every indica- tion that it is a whopping big success. Morocco’s Commission City. Credit not Oklahoma, but Morocco, with the latest commission govern- ment city. Tangier is not only that, but an international city to boot. Tangier was long ruled in part by a sanitary commission of foreign consuls. Now it is in the Spanish sphere or belt of influence. and that again is surrounded by the paramount French power. The city itself is neutral and starts with a boom, France having written off part of its debt. The assembly consists of twenty-four Moors and eleven representatives of the powers. The Moors are real Moors, not subjects of other nations. The military police is headed by a Spaniard, the civil police by a French- man. A mixed court sits for foreign- ers; Moslem cases ave tried by the cadi.

Not Talking Politics. “I am not now talking polities. 1 have promised to write some letters for a few papers but that has been delayed by my transfer from Wash- ington to Minnesota. Just a word now, however, about polities. If people would go at a political prob- lem like corporations go at business problems, the political problems would be settled just as effectually and also as practically. Business works rapidly; political reforms op- erate slowly, and that is why a re- form is often abandoned before satis- factorily results are obtained.” Congressman Lindbergh has spent e e For a Weak Stomach. If you have any trouble with your digestion you should read what Mrs. J. C. Bauer, Zanesville, Ohio, has to say regarding her experience as fol- lows:* “I was troubled for months with a weak stomach and constipa- tion and it was all I could do to drag myself about the house. Chamber- lain’s Tablets afforded me the first relief I got, and after taking them a short time I was restored to health.” Obtainable everywhere, DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one wav to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and where it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be tak- en out and this tube restored to its nor- mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- y flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
