Napoleon Wat "Crap” Shooter
From The New York Herald.
The Berlin judge who refused to
hold some prisoners accused of
shooting craps because he could not
understand that It. was a game of
chance should have consulted the
German Hoyle. Under the title
"Hasardsplele" he would have dis
covered the principles of the game,
for craps, although It seems to have
been regarded In France and Ger
many as an American invention
when General Pershing’s young
gentlemen Indulged In this rolling of
two dice, is the simple child of the
ancient English game of hazard.
All that Americans did In trans
forming hazard into craps was to
remove its complications and apply
common sense to Its mathematics.
The Englishman of Georgian days
called his “main** or point before he
let the dice fly from his hand for the
first play. It could be any number
from 5 to 8. Why he should choose
any number other than 7 Is hard to
understand. In craps 7 and 11 are
arbitrarily the points for which the
player yearns as he casts the first
time. Seven can be thrown In six
different ways; 6 or 8 In five ways;
5 or 8 In four ways; 4 or 10 in three
ways. Fixing 7 as one of the points
for the first cast gives the player the
advantage of the odds and of not be
lnir obliged to guess.
"Craps” In hazard la 2 or 3; "craps”
in craps is 2, 3 or 12. If the hazard
player’s main after the first throw is
6 or 9 he throws out with 11 or 12.
If it is 8 or 8 he throws out with 11,
The game is equally complicated in
the matter of the casts that will win
for him. Your modern crap shooter
would find pung chow as easy to
learn as hazard, yet tl^ principles of
both these noble dice games are iden
tical. And If the German Judge Will
take a whirl at craps he will be sat
isfied that it is a gambling game.
The.worst thing about craps is the
mediocrity of its name. Hazard is a
stately phrase. We read that Charles
James Fox lost £ 32,000 in three
nights play at hazard, neglecting his
Parliamentary duties; that five of
the nobility parted with £100,000 to
the proprietor of Crockford’s club. It
sounds romantic. We know that
Napoleon, bound for St, Helena in
the Northumberland,* spent his eve
I nings "casting at hazard” for small
stakes. It would be a shock to have
the historian say that Bonaparte was
a crap shooter, but it would be true.
The hero of "To Have and to Hold”
must have been a crap player. "If
I throw ambsace,” mumbled Ralph
Percy to himself, ‘1 will go to James
town tomorrow and take a wife,” or
words to that effect. He threw his
two aces, a combination known now
adays as "craps.” The chances were
IB to 1 that he would not make that
gast. He admitted that he was the
finest swordsman in Virginia; maybe
fee was the best dice tosser.

Why are people intolerant? Be

erance must be acquired. It is not
a rtatural Jpstinct ._
James' Harvey Robinson tells us
that “most of our so-called reason

wisdom. It has the same force,
whether it is MY dinner, MY dog,

country, and MY God. We not only
resent the Imputation that our watch

our conception of the canals of Mars,
of the pronunciation of ‘Epietitus,’ 1
of the medicinal value of saliclne or

How properly to reckon with the
“I” and "my” is not abolishing them.
We may never escape from consider
ing the self as of some Importance.
The danger lies in thinking that the
self is it, everything right and holy
to treat our opinions with respect,
whether they agree with us or not.
We do not like folks who kick our

destroy our faith, attack our coun

Tolerance is just a matter of treat

like the other fellow to treat us.

Yankton, S. D., Sept, '» (Special)—
There are not many signs of des

to G. H. Durand, vice-president of

enough cars to run to trains to care

Innovation In Government.
Marvin B. Rosenberry in the North
American Review.
There has come Into existence In
the United States during recent
yearn, by accident or design, an extra
constitutional method, by which the
federal government has sought to In
fluence and control state govern
ments. Stated in plain terms, the fed
eral government says to the states:
Here Is an appropriation which is a
vallable to you upon certain-condi
tions. As a rule these conditions are
that a like amount shall be appro
priated by the state government for
the purpose Indicated In the bill mak
ing the federal appropriation. There
Is a further stipulation that certain
conditions relating to intrastate af
fairs are to be complied with as a
condition of receiving federal aid.
This scheme, by which the federal
government in effect excercises legis
lative power In relation to education,
publlo health, and other kindred sub
jects strictly within the police powei
of the states. Is an Innovation upon
America’s constitutional system.

Artificial Silk In Japan.
From U. S. Commerce Reports.
The manufacturers of artificial
silk have made very little progress In
Japan, being confined to the product
ion of coarse yarns of Inferior qual

amounted to 226,840 pounds—an In
crease of 62.7 per cent over 1921.
Unofficial estimates place the Jan
anese imports from January 1, to
April 24, 1923, to 178,725 pounds, or
about 79 per cent of the total artlfl- t
dal silk Imports In 1922. The use of
artificial silk in Japan was formerly
limited to the manufacture of neck

used for hosiery and mixed silk tex«

DEFINITION OF AMERICA
Rabbi Abba 8ilver.
In the heat and the strife of
the war I was asked once to
give my definition of America,
and I said to the men: “To
me America ki infinitely more

000 men; to me America is all
that the submerged races of
the world wish to be and can
not; to me America is the
concrete realisation of what
the ages have hoped for and
labored for.” That was my
definition I gave to them.
It is a definition. It is a
creed. It is a challenge. God
built a continent of glory and
filled it with treasures untold.
He carpeted it witn soft
rolling prairies and pillared
it with thundering mountains.
He studded It with soft flow
ing fountains and traced it
with long winding streams.
He graced it with deep shad
owed forests and filled them
with song.
