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

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
