D, Jungman, director of the bureau of communicable diseases at th; state-health department. “Diphtheria, the dread disease of childhood, in full retreat and ‘would have been routed long ago ex- cept for pence and peal ig mallpox still appears where it is invited but enlightened vaccination laws have everywhere proved their effectivene: “The result of these and of other advances is that during the last gen- eration nine Sarcky have been added to the span of life. This long series of medical triumphs, glorious as it is, loses much of its glamour when we reflect that i? we gave our doc- tors full swing they could add an- other nine years immediately. It is @ lamentable fact that the real guard of medical practice is stil! 10 years behind the van of medical sci- ence, Swamps Are Dangerous “Thriving cities might be named which are years nehind the times in the fundamentals of sanitation. Pol- luted water supplies are not uncom- mon. Open drains are still to be seen and modern sewage systems are conspicuous only by their absence. Ci) jioned out-houses are peren- sources of infection; impure and often dirty milk supplies threaten the lives of infants. Undrained swamps breed mosquitoes, and neg- bates filth brings disease-bearing les. “Preventive medicine should begin in the home. It should start with the habit of having a periodical medical examination, two or three times a year for young, old and middle-aged, annually for those in the twenties and thirties, Every young mother should have authoritative knowledge of the milk and water supplies that come into their home. She might pos? well read one of the excellent health magazines published for non- medical readers. She should have first hand acquaintance with the sanitary conditions of the schools her children attend. Longer Life Available “Good housekeepers and good mothers are natural health officers. They can do a world of good by familiarizing themselves with the health work done in the schools and seeing that it is adequate in scope ; and thoroughness. Their husbands can preach the extension of preven- ‘ tive work and use their influence to secure suitable appropriations for state and local activities. : “Nationwide effort along these lines would substantially hasten the . day when the doctors can hand. us nine additional years of life that are waiting for us but which we have not the intelligence or the imagina- tion to grasp.” FLASHER BEATS CARSON ELEVEN (Special to the Tribune) Flasher, Nov. 10.—Flasher de- feated Carson here yesterday 13 to 6 in a hard-fought football game by virtue of a 30-yard run bv Fullback * Morehead for a touchdown six min- utes before the final gun sounded. ope! soatite in the x when Hubert, halfback, , ran 15 yards through the Flasher line for the initial counter.

At the right is the home of a New York gambling club run years ago by the Late Dick 8 Elegance Gives Way to In- gloriousness; ‘Bumping Off’ of Rothstein a Symbol New York, Nov. 10.—Arnold Roth- stein, big-time gambler, has passed ignobly from the New York chance- taking scene, and the “profesh” is la- menting anew the evil days on which major gaming has come in this na- tive home of the Dick Canfields, the “Honest John” Kellys, and all the rest of a long and distinguished line, New York gambling of today in a class with the liquor of today. Neither compares favorably to pre- war stock. It’s a clandestine, hither-and-yon rather than a and stable propo- sition, with individual finishes such as Rothstein’s—drab, inglorious fin- ishes—always likely to be waiting just around the corner. : “Honest John” Kelly could main- tain a first-class place through long years and fittally die’ in dignified manner, at the age of 70, from pneu- monia.. Dick Canfield could flourish in, then retire gracefully from the gambling trade, and come to a re- spectable end from falling down some New York subway steps. They and many like them could en- joy intimate acquaintance with sportsmanlike representatives of first families and high station. Different Story Now Today it’s a very different story— one of which Rothstein’s “bumping off” is a thoroughly fitting symbol. Whereas in the days of Kelly and Canfield a man could run a really spectable club for gamblers and obtain court injunctions, if neces- sary, to keep the police from enter- ing, that is not possible today. Where once there was elegance and the upholding of traditions in the gambling business, the big games now must be staged in one part of town one night, and another the next. It’s a hit-or-miss, catch-as- catch-can proportion. Honest John Kelly, who died in ae bemoaned the change. He said: . e gambling that goes on now is a cheap, sneaking kind of thing; victims are lured here and there and trimmed as quickly possible— nothing agreeable, hospitable, or dig- nified about it. “When we old-timers were turning the wheel, just. before this century began, we ran our Jambling houses high, wide and handsome. Every- thing was free to the patrons—the and flew 4 yoo Me sions od he oh cane deh i w dwa) \s On election day, Canfield. . . Big Time Gambling’s Caste Gone, It’s Just Racket Now liquors. There wasn’t a gambling house in those days where you couldn’t get a better meal, with finer wines and cigars, than you could get today at Sherry’s.” Frowned on Robbery Kelly also boasted that the gam- blers of those days were not out to rob people, or trim those who couldn’t afford to play. The big players got a run for their money and frequently walloped the house. Canfield’s gambling palace, on East Forty-fourth street. was a veritable museum of priceless an- tiques and works of art. Uiuiie.d ‘was an art connoisseur, and went to London once to have his portrait painted by Whistler. It is notable, too, that in the old days there was less “bumping off.” Gambling for big stakes was less of a “racket” and more of a gentle- | man’s pastime. The passing of Herman Rosenthal jin 1912 instinctively was recalled by New Yorkers when Rothstein was slain. Rosenthal.too-was a gambler, though hardly of Rothstein’s class. They summoned Rosenthal to the front of the Metropole hotel by a telephone message, just as Rothstein was summoned to a room in the Park Central There Rosenthal “got it” at the hands of Gyp the Blood, Lefty Louie, and their mates—with Police Lieutenant Charles Becker in the background. The gambling industry still en- lists a numerous personnel in New York. At least 18,000 persons are ! engaged in it in one way or another, it is said. But it has lost caste. Of the 18,000 many are known gunmen and. gangsters. Those who pursue the trade now- adays gamble with their lives as | well as with the cards and dice.

()—Repeal of the prohibition - amendment found favor with Massachusetts voters in 33 out of 40 state senatorial dis- tricts‘at Tuesday’s general election by_a decisive margin. es In four district the question did not appear on the ballot because the limit of permissible public questions had already been reached in those districts: before that on prohibition was proposed. Three districts, consisting chiefly of towns in Plymouth county and on Cape Cod; Franklin and Hampshire, largely rural in cee and the Norfolk and Middlesex, rural and sit eime returned adverse major- ities. The question,’ as submitted, reat “Shall the senator from this district be instructed to vote for a resolution requesting congress to take action for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, known as the prohibition amendment?” - All Boston districts were heavily in favor of instructing their sena- tors. The Constitutional Liberty League, which was largely instru- mental in having the question placed on the ballot, made an unofficial and incomplete tabulation of the vote showing a “Yes” count of 619,000 against-a “No” vote of 347,910. The plurality with 75 towns missing was 271,902. FARM COURSE PLANNED BY U Various Problems to Be Taken Up in Studies Starting January 1 Farm boys and farmers of North Dakota will be especially benefited by a 10-week course in dairying to be offered during the winter term by the dairy department of the. state agricultural college, according to J. R. Dice, chairman of the dairy de- partment of dairy husbandry. Classes and laboratory work will begin January 1. Most of the classes will be select- ed from the regular work given in the farm husbandry course and will include the study of milk products, milk testing, feeds and feeding, breeding, animal diseases and a spe- cial course on the feeding and care of dairy cattle. Forage shops and gas engines will also be subjects of discussion at the course, if persons attending the courses wish to take them up, “The course is ideal for the you man who would like to fit himsel! for work as a cow testing associa- tion worker,” Professor Dice de- clared. “At present there. are seven cow testing associations in operation in North Dakota, with go cee aeie for two or three more, and thére is a strong demand in this and neigh- boring states for association testers. In order for a man to qualify as a tester he must have had a short dairy course, must have had actual experience on a farm with milk cows and must hi ® good personality.” Farmers Consider Creamery Purchase La Moure, N.

A. Munro, entomologist at the North Dakota agricultural college. Professor Munro advocates that the colonies be well provided with food to carry them through the win- ter and that the weaker colonies be united with the stronger ones, Be- fore uniting, however, the beekeeper should make sure of the health of the bees. “Uniting is best done by the simple method of placing a sheet of newspaper over the frames of. the strong colony and setting the weak colony directly over it,” he said. “In a short time the two col- onies will become united, and fight- ing among the bees is not likely to occur. It is usually recommended to kill the queen belonging to the weak colony before uniting it with another. “The beekeeper should see to it that plenty of stores’ are on hand so that starvation will not occur during midwirter or before the bees are placed on their stands in the spring. Wintering the bees with in- sufficient stores is too expensive for any beekeeper to attempt, for the reason that if the bees have only enough honey to carry them partly over the wintering period, and then die, the loss will be practically doubled. Bees must be Placed in comfortable quarters, whether they are wintered in a cellar or out of doors. * “Wintering in good cellars is con- sidered the best practice to follow in this latitude. If a good cellar is not available, then it would probably be better to winter the bees in pack- ing cases out of doors.” driving history. guarantee TRADE-IN PLAN.
