NAT I O N A I i TOSONI w/wr WMlf EDITORIAL lATIOi be Over in Reno, Nevada, the visitor has an opportunity t< try out a theory that is becoming more popular and this is whether or not it is possible to get something for nothing thru a game of chance Most individuals in searching for an excuse to take a chance harbor a secret hope that they will be more fortunate than the poor fellow who lost his shirt. Nevada gambling joint operators are at least honest in a few statements. They will admit that the sucker who stays with a slot machine until he loses his last nickel mav have to gu home in a barrel, but cleverly point out that in the «rocess of losing his pants, the sucker has had lots of fun doing it. Anothi r forthright statement is the fact that in Nevada, a saloon is called a saloon nnd not a cocktail lounge. In fact the traveler of tour ist supplies the necessary revenue on which the state operates and residents of our neighboring state don’t stutter when tiny call a thing by its right name and slot machines have bet n placed in every public building except the churches to catch Hu stray nickels, quarters and dollars. Here psychologists could study mob psychology w ith profit and the human reaction to the tide of fortune. It was the fad that we conld watch human nature in action that interested us most and not the 500 to 1 chance to win a few dollars. Had we succumbed to the lure of getting something for nothing, we might have left the famed ei.y sadder lint wiser As it was we never had to resort to the use of a barrel, and earn« ! home with the same wife. held A compréhensive basic training 2 00 county law o'clock .it Mills Mortuary, tor enforcement officers in Oregon, Kenneth J.

Walker Air Everything is farther away than it used to be. It is twice the distance from my house to the station now. and they havi added a fair sized hill that I never noticed before. The trains leave sooner, too. I’ve given up running for them liecause they start faster these days when 1 try to catch them. Tou ean’t depend on the time tables anymore, and it is no use asking the conductor. I ask him a dozen times a trip if tin next station is where I get off. and he always says it isn’t. How can you trust a conductor like that! Usually I gather my bundles and put on my hat and coat and stand in the aisles a couple of stops away, just to make sure I don’t go past my destination. Sometimes I make doubly sure by getting off at the station ahead. A lot of other things are different lately. Barbers no longer hold up a mirror behind me when they are finished, so I can see the back of my head, and my wife has been taking care of the tickets lately when we go to the theater. They don’t put the same materials into clothes anymore either. I’ve noticed that all my suits have a tendency to shrink, especially in certain places such as around the waist or in the seat of the pants, and the laces they put in shoes nowadays are much harder to reach. Even the weather is changing. It's getting colder in winter, and the summers are hotter than they used to be. I’d go away, if it weren’t so far. Snow is heavier when I try to shovel it. and REV.
