Paris.--Frank Jay Gould, owner of three of the principal gambling establishments In France, representing an Investment of several hundred million francs, has become the gambling czar of the world. Sir Basil Zaharoff and the mysterious "Monsieur Andre," overlords of Monte Carlo, Cannes, Deauvlile and other casinos, now appear like small time gabblers In comparison to the vast establishment whereby Gould hopes to lure a fortune from those who stack their chances against the table. The new Mediterranean roulette palace at Nice, opened recently, is the most luxurious gambling establishment in the world. In comparison the famous Monte Carlo casino appears tiny. Gould himself speaks of his venture as "a palace the Caesars could not have built." cost $3fooo,ooa One hundred million francs ($8,000,- 000) went Into the building of this palace. It is solid marble and steel, the baccarat room of Italian marble, vaulted and high. This gambling room, with its bank of Gould millions there to be "broken," If that Is possible, is the best guarded place of all Europe. In the two-acre establishment Gould has a city of attractions. His restaurant seats 2,000 diners at a time. The marble dance hall is an architectural dream. The theater is as fine as any Paris possesses. Gould, scion of American railroad kings, who has been living In France since 1913, has invested practically all of his fortune here. He has made some very fortunate de&ls which have doubled or trebled his capital. Buys Restaurant. He discovered a beautiful plot of land at Juan les Pins on the Riviera, overlooked when the Riviera was built up, but suited for the site of the American's first casino. His wife designed the iarge hotel there, and it is estimated that Gould's profits were at least $4,000,000. Then on his way to Deauville he stopped at a restaurant at Evreaux, liked it and bought it. It has become the most famous roadhouse between Paris and that resort known as the "millionaires' delight." He went to Bagnolles-de-L'Orne for a health cure. The lake there was vile smelling from sewage, but Gould bought the lake and the hotel. He dredged the lake, beautified it, built a casino, remodeled the hotel, took over the curative waters of the town and by publicity brought the elite of French society to* Bagnolles. It paid him 200 per cent on his investment He expects the Mediterranean palace to do the same. ED VOGEL •> GENERAL AUCTIONEER Finn Sales a Specialty P. O. Solon Mills, HI - Tel.

Alaska Believes Wave of Arctic Rodents Near Fort Yukon, Alaska.--About once in a decade a wave of lemmings, small ^Arctic rodents, sweeps across a part 'of eastern Alaska and northwestern Canada. The last large number noted \yas in the winter of 1918, but there are indications that they are again numerous between here and Point Barrow, especially in the region between the Chandalar and Porcupine rivers. « Ten years ago'lemmings migrated northward and near Point Barrow thousands were drowned when they followed leaders otT the ice into the Arctic ocean. Rivermen passing here declared a southward movement met a similar fate In the Yukon river, which the lemmings attempted to cross. The rodent is about seven Inches long, with round gopher head, black rat-like eyes, rich red-brown fur and a stubby tail. A feature of the periodical increase of lemmings noted by trappers is the abundancQ of lynx In the same localities. Ethel Had H<iF Hair Cut By ULiiACE M.

Italy Fights Invasion of Our Soft Dnrics Rome.--To meet American competition in soft drinks the Italian soft drink manufacturers have concocted all kinds of formulae as thirst quenchers designed to meet the foreign invasion. These new Italian mixtures claim superiority in taste, tang and "kick." x ' JThe Italians had numerous soft drinks of their own native stock even before this spurt. Soft drinks have just a fighting chance due to the abundance of wine everywhere available in Italy. Beer, too, is gaining headway and the breweries are placing advertisements in the daily newspapers extolling its health-giving qualities. "Finders Are Keepers" Found a Faulty Adage. Milwaukee.--The old adage that finders are keepers does not apply here, Leon Dixon discovered after picking up a $10 bill from the street. Fred Darr had lost a $10 bill and was searching for it when he saw Dixon make the find. Dixon refused to give up the money and Darr started civil suit. A judgment was obtained against Dixon when it was brought out that before findings are keepings it is necessary to advertise for the owner, to notify the county clerk and then wait a year. At the end of that time, if the owner is not found, tbe money may be divided evenly with the treasury. (Copyright) ETHEL FIELD had beautiful hair. Beautiful? Why. It was magnificent And in tbls workaday world of smart bobs or shoulder-length curls fastened daintily together. Ethel's hair made her stand out against the group of other girls of her age as one apart. "I wouldn't marry a girl who was unwomanly enough to snip tfff her hair like a--a--man." Jim Ford had a habit of saying. Perhaps this was Ethel's reason for wearing her hair long Those great swirls of copper-! uster bronze took nearly an hour to make each morning. And then In the evening, if Ethel planned to go out anywhere or have any special company (like Jim Ford!) she patiently sat before her mirror another hour with her arms high above her head, eyes anxiously on the mirror before her. while she redressed It It was long enough to sit on, Ethel's mother was proad of telling. Then one day In late August Mrs. Field was called away from home. Hardly had the taxi drawn away from the curb than the telephone rang. Jim wanted to tell Ethel that he would be away on a business trip for a month. Ethel felt bleak and lonesome when she turned away from the telephone. "I want you to remember. Ethel, whenever you marry and go away from home that the first time you feel blue and out of sorts the thing you need is a crack good meal and a new hat Now you tuck that away, child, for future reference, because the day will come when you'll be glad of the advice. And advice is something ! seldom give, knowing It's never welcome!" If Mrs. Field had told hei* daughter this once, she had told her a hnndred and twenty-seven times. Consequently, Ethel traveled towards the Icebox. After a thick chunk of chocolate cake that would not be tolerated on the eighteen-day diet and two glasses of Ice-cold milk, she began to feel a litle less lonely. "Now for a new hat!" But the thought of trying to persuade some clerk to hunt out a smart hat with a double h^id-size was too much for Ethel. "I might," she told herself softly, "cut off Just a little of that hair. Silly stuff! I wish to heavens I'd had It cut and never let it get long In the first place. But if I had it cut now, mother would be Just sick and Jim--Jim--M The bleak look again came into her face as she moved towards her own room. '1 could cut It oft Just below the shoulders," she said. Suddenly she <found herself cutting, cutting, cutting--hair wasn't as easy to cut tfs she had supposed. It had a tendency to cut square-ended in a crooked line across the bottom. "For gpodness sake!" she murmured. "I'll never be able to get It done up again. I wonder if those funny ends will turn under?" They would not Every time she got them Into place they sprpng out and sneered at her efforts impishly. "I think I'll just pin it up any old way and run down to the comer beauty shop." "Well, cut it off!" advised the girt in the crisp ,wWe apron. "^What good is it?" "My mother likes ft," Ethel remarked. "Pooh! She'll like yo® a lot better if you look like everyone else Instead of a,' black sheep," stated the girl. "Henri Is the fellow to give you a smart clip!" An hour later Ethel' looked Incredulously at herself. Why, she was-- there was no doubt about it--she w»* beautiful I She had never known that her head was so beautifully shaped. She tipped the man and hurried home to sit before her dressing case. Jim? Why, she dldnt give a hang what Jim thought about her or her hair. She was going to sit and look at herself and run her lingers up and down that back head as long as she lived! The door bell announced a visitor, per swift glance found Jim's car befofe the apartment building. Now he'd see her hair! "Forgot my gloves the other night, Ethel. Thought I*d stop and get 'em on my way out of town--hullo I What's -- the -- taatter -- with your -- hair? Gee, you sure look swell with that short hair! Say--you ought to go Into some of those beauty contests. Ethel--only 1 wouldn't want my wife In one!" Ethel laughed. "Guess Tll do that, she said carelessly. "Say, I could start any time tonight af well as now--what do you say if we chase down to Peacock's and pick out your ring?" "My ring?" repeated Ethel, wonder ing why her heart was pounding "that way."? "Yea, your ring--your engagement ring," he said. "Oh, my ring,'^ said Ethel, trying to gain a moment. "Why, that will be fine," she said brightly.. "I was going downtown to buy a hat anyhow! Which all goes to prove that moth er's advice is never, never to be dls regarded! Mr, and Mrs. H. E.
