You can play them, for anything from a nickle to half a dollar. It’s all equally hard on the purse and it’s all equally illegal under state, county and city law. Police officers naturally don’t as slot spend | much time in bars and the machines have 5 | been here only a few days, so the reason for their continuing to run is obvious. They really aren’t hard to find when you start looking, though, and without being so crude as to stop the first pedestrian on the street, a zealous officer might be led to a_ slot machine just by hearing the familiar sound as he walks by. Considering the subject from one point of view, it would seem the slot machine | manufacturer would give a little thought to making their machines less noisy and thus policeman wouldn't On the other hand, how- ever, it has been suggested by the cynical that if the machines were allowed to keep on going they would run for so long it would cut down production. From thet standpoint, it’s good for the find one oc- isionally and break it up, making a_re- | placement necessary. If that really is the manufacturer’s | view of the matter, our policemen aren't co- operating much. But perhaps they will now that they know. FEATS AT NIAGARA Niagara Falls, one of the world’s most awesome natural spectacles, has been an object of fascination for countle: people, most of whom have visited the site on the great cataract’s It has long been a_ fa- alw majestic beauty. for honey-mooners, of life, have sought oblivion to death in its turbulent vorite resort while others, tired by plunging waters, But Niagara Falls also has been the scene of extraordinary feats.by daring ad- venturers, who risked and sometimes lost their lives there. It may be of interest to note some of those who made history of a sort there by brave but foolhardy stunts at various times. The first of these was @harles Blondin, who crossed the wire tightrope three times, in 1855, in 1859, and in 1860. Others who did the same were William L. Hunt in 1864, William A. Wright twice in 1865, and James BE. Hardy twice in 1896. Hardy’s stunts were the most amazi of all, as he balanced himself on chai did dance steps on the way across. His feats created a tremendous sensation, and may Falls on a never be duplicated. Then there were who ceived and carried out the idea of going over several con- | the Falls by drifting from the river above and plunging into the swirling abyss below. | The first to Suecessfully accomplish this was a woman, Anna Edson Taylor, who went over in a barrel on October 24, 1901. Bobby Leach did the same on July 1911, Jean A. Laussier made the plunge in a 758- pound rubber ball on July 4, 1928.
