EDUCATION BOARD | REELECTS CARUS Continued in Presidency for Another Term—Dr. Learned { Renamed Vice President. Charles F. Carusi was re-elected pres- ident of the Board of Education and Dr. H. Barrett Learned was chosen vice president in the annual election of offi- cers at the school board's reorganiza- tion meeting, held yesterday afternoor in th: Franklin administration bullding. Neither Mr. Carusi nor Dr. Learned was opposed for his respective office, Isaac Gans having nominated the for- mer for re-election, with Henry L. Gilli- gan’s second. and Mr. Gilligan having inated Dr. Learned for the second of with F. I. A, Bennett seconding the proposal. Mr. Carusi first became president of the Board of Education on March 2, 1927, when an election was held following the resignation of E. C. Graham, who had held that office. Dr. Learned succeeds Mrs, William H. Her- yon, who, when vice president, resigned from the board in April. The election of of s constituted a mere hesitation in the execution of the board's regular function, and as soon as the two officers were declared chosen the board attacked its business cal- “endar. Its first item of business was a prompt reaffirmation of its action of three ‘weeks ago in refusing permission to the ‘Women's Christian Temperance Union to distribute its pamphlets, purported to be merely an augmentation of the regu- Jar course of study, in the normal &chools. “I have read these pamphlets very carefully and thoroughly, and I find they bear no ‘taint’ of scientific value,” Mr. Carusi remarked emphatically. The board voted unanimously to stand by its Jormer refusal. ' Board Cites Need of Funds. The board decided to ask the District | B Commissioners for & deficiency of $11,- 84840 to be used for enforcement of the | 152 provisions of the new child labor law, which went into effect at midnight Sat- urday.

I had scraped up an | acquaintance with a man who possessed one of the magic little cards, and he took me in. We entered the conven- tional outside door and he rang the bell in the vestibule. A buzzer sounded and between us we managed to pull open the thick wrought iron door on the inside. We mounted narrow wooden steps and I wondered how it would feel to come down backwards, propelled by the heavy boot of the hardboiled gen- tleman at the top. He satisfied himself with giving me a dirty look. My acquaintance passed on to him some information I had dropped concerning the bigness of my pocket- book. It was fat, as a matter of fact, but all the bills were dollar bills. The hard boy said semething to the . | dealer of a rather desultory black jack game and the game broke up. All hands rer, | headed for the billiard table except the seven or eight overworked gentlemen who were sitting in a corner figuring th . | out the books of the afternoon's racing. 4 They go to work as soon as the returns are in and keep at it until midnight sometimes.

The nice big thug at the door was still growling about the $2.000 he had lost a couple of nights before. I estimated that his night's profits probably wouldn't reach half that, but still this was Sun- day night. On a Saturday night in another place I counted roughly $4,000 that the house won in an hour.. Genial Atmosphere. ant contrdst to the first. There a genial atmosphere mingled with the smoke. It was in a different neighborhood, and perhaps it reflected the spirit of the community.

By paying long odds and encouraging side bets the house multiplies the amount of money wagered on every roll. And the more money bet the more the house gets.

I counted money roughly for one round of shooting. Twelve or thirteen men rolled the dice, betting from 81 to $5 on a roll. In the 12 shots about $500 was wagered, including all side bets. Mathematically the house would collect about $14 of that as its cut. Actually it collected about $75 everybody shot par the house would take in around $250 for wn evening's entertainment. nearer $1,000.

A place I visited in the northeast | section of the city, just off North Capitol treet, had a slightly different atmo- | sphere from most of the others. The patrons were a little tougher, the crou- plers a little less genial and polite and the room a little smaller and hotter. It wasn't a nice place. I wouldn't go thére again. I found a man who had a card and would introduce me and take me in An obliging taxi driver had found him. He was middle-aged and rather disre- putable looking. We opened a glazed door and found ourselves in a dark vestibule. As the outside door shut a light automatically went on in an inner vestibule. We opened the second door and my newly- made friend showed his card through a peep hole in the third door, which was heavily reinforced. We were admittec lnd“l was told I could get a card as T left. 1 went upstairs where I found several men sitting around. About 9:15 enough had drifted in to make a game worth while.

The game is played with three dice manipulated by the housr man under an inverted cup. A chart lies on the table. The chart is divided into two_sections called low and high fields. Bets laid in either fleld pay even money. Any number under 11 is in the low fleld. Eleven or higher is in the high field. Numbers from 1 to 6 also pay even money. Then the odds begin to range from snywhere from 2 to 1 to 100 to 1. A bet may be placed on any number and the odds that num- ber pays are stamped on the chart Three of a kind pays 100 to 1, the high- est. No. 17 is next, paying odds of 60 to 1. The odds against the bettor, how- ever, are much greater. Craps was the order in all of the night establishments I visited, In the afternoons they play black jack while was some black jack at night, but it was too slow to satisfy the high-pres- sure gamblers. There was also a little “hazzard,” or “chuckle-up.” CHILD HEALTH CAMP PROGRAM OUTLINED Rest, Fresh Air and Balanced Diet in Plan Proposed for Tuber- cular Group. Rest, fresh air and sunshine and a| | balanced diet form the tripod for the support of the program at the Chil- | dren’s Health Camp, maintained at | Fourteenth and Upshur streets for tu- bercular children under 12 years of age, Dr. J. W. Peabody, supérintendent of the Tuberculosis Hospital, declared at the opening reception at the camp yes- terday afternoon. Dr. Peabody asked for the co-opera- tion of parents in enabling their chil- dren to return to good health, which will permit them to take their place in regular classrooms with other children. The camp is maintained by the Tuberculosis Assoclation on part of the funds received from the sale of Christ- mas seals and is intended as a demon- stration of the need of a permanent children’s sanatorium in the District. Headed by Mrs. Margaret J. Hilleary, the staff includes Miss Laura J. Scheibe, Mrs, Florence Grubbe, Mrs. Bessie Thomas and Lester Hilleary. Twenty-three children . were enrolled in the camp at its opening, and other enlistments are being recelved dalily.

Secretary Hoover, Republican standard bearer, today worked over his budget, but the job was in no way connected with his campaign for the presidency. It was the annual budget of the De- partment of Commerce which claimed the attention of the Republican candi- date, and he forsook political prob- lems in order to plunge into the task. The budget task is one of the last obstacles standing between Hoover and release from cabinet responsibilities, and he entered into the undertaking with a will. He is determined to leave his office at the department in the best of order before he hands his resigna- tion to President Coolidge at the Sum- mer White House next week, and ac- cordingly he is spending many hours with his departmental assistants in an effort to close up the affairs of his post. Brown His Chief Aid. He is being aided in the budget by Walter F. Brown, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, who has been mentioned prominently as a prospective successor to his chief. Even the work of writing his acceptance speech was sacrificed yesterday and today to the bndget work. Hoover has not decided how he wi'l spend the Fourth of July tomorrow. His aides have suggested that he take a rest from the trying whirl of activ- ity at the department and depart for a cruise down the Potomac on the Kil- kenny, a ship belonging to the Naviga- tional Bureau of the Department of Com- merce. The suggestion so far has met with no definite response, and it is likely that the Secretary will spend most of the holiday at his home. Receives Political Advice. Hoover interrupted his departmental duties long enough to talk briefly today with several political advisers and friends. Representative Wood, Repub- lican, of Indiana gave him a report on the political outlook in his State. Others who saw Hoover included James B. Reynolds, who managed the Coolidge umgllzn in 1920; Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General and ardent Hoover booster; Willlam S. Culbertson, new Ambas- sador to Chile; James W. Rosenberg of New York, and Herbert Pennock, pitcher for the New York Yankees, who, like Hoover, is a Quaker, and Who wished to pay his respects. Chairman Work Expected Soon. Having submitted his resignation to the President as Secretary of the In- terior, Chairman Work of the Repub- lican national committee, is expected to return here Thursday and advise Mr. Hoover of the part that President Coolidge will play in the forthcoming campaign. Hoover will see the Presi- dent a few days later for the purpose of handing in his own letter of resignation. Hoover expects to leave Washington about July 10. IN ELECTRIG STORM Million Dollar Loss Results From Series of Tornadoes in Northwest. By the Assoclated Press. ST. PAUL, Minn, July 3.—Five deaths and more than a score of per- sons injured had been reported today as the result of a series of tornadic and electrical storms in the Northwest. Property damage was estimated at more than $1,000,000. The storms were general in_ four S , Minnesota, Wisconsin and North and South Dakota, late Sunday night and Monday. Two young men were killed by lightning, two persons died in barn crashes and a woman was killed in an automobile accident attributed to the storm. ‘The lightning's victims were Durand Treeby, 21, killed near Hecla, S. Dak., and Lewis ‘Kaus, 17, of Fergus Falls, Minn. Mrs, Herman Bjerke was killed when a barn collapsed at Lake Park, Minn, A similar accident near Alice, N. Dak., proved fatal to Joe Heinze, a farmer. Miss Grace Halliday of Aberdeen, 8. Dak., died when her automobile over- turned as she raced a storm near Wheatland, N. Dak. In Minnesota the damage appeared to be heaviest around Anoka and Clear Lake. Other voints in this State which were hard hit included Sabin, Moor- head, Staples, Verndale, Maple Lake and Winona. Buildings were destroyed and live stock killed. Osceola and Clear Lake, both in Wis- consin, reported damage by a tornado. Sections in North and South Dakota also suffered. ERROR IS CORRECTED.

The latter said he was considering formation of a husbands’ protective league. “I really didn't know I could do it,” the new champlon stated after the con- test, which was witnessed by several thousand persons. “I never threw a rolling pin before tonight.” The competition was judged by Wade Ball, treasurer of Arlington County, and Willlam L.
