Recpgnizing the evils of gambling, the law has always sought to prevent the general public from participation.- In semi-savage races women and girls 1 . are not allowed to gamble at all, and ‘boys are lim- offed. The same instinct which impels Stock Exchange houses to prohibit their clerks and bookkcepers-from ‘speculating in stocks led the merchants @f Europe centuries ago to forbid their apprentites’ from indulging in games of chance. Gambling often led to theft, and always resulted’ in Gistracting’ the mind from, work. betes eis not, however, the object of this to call attention to the evils of ag ut to suggest the simple way to.prevent Wall street gambling : doing injury to the general industry and-commerce of the United States.
