From Slot Machines
WEALTH came to Oliver Dalton, owner of Brigh- ton's Palace Pier, from pennies that went into slot machines. He died, leaving a fortune of £129,000-over thirty million pennies.
Yet, when he turned on the gas tap and died in the kitchen of his luxurious home last October, he thought. he was a ruined man. For a few days previously he had told a friend: "I am broke. I haven't a penny in the world. All they can take is my furniture.
Ollie, as he was popularly known from Brighton to Atlantic City and back to Dieppe, was one of Brighton's three wealthiest public men. But for a year before his death at 60 his health had been falling and he had two nervous breakdowns

THE war has brought prosperity to tattooists.
The war, which brought the season on the Palaco Pier to an nbrupt end and compelled him to dismiss old servants, preyed on his mind.
Some of these servants he has re- membered in his £129,000 will pub- lished recently.

WHEELED TO BATHS THEN
WON A CERTIFICATE
AS President Roosevelt conquered infantile paralysis, so Valerie Hoope, eight-year-old English girl, has saved herself from being a cripple for life- by will-power and swimming.
Valerio said: "I am going to write to Mr. Roosevelt to tell him about my cure."orga
Two years ago one of Valerie's legs was so twisted that the heel was where the toes should have been. She was put under the care of Mr. John Bastow, surgeon of the Bath Orthopaedic Hospital
Valerio never lost her smile as she was wheeled about in an Invalid chair.**
Then one day last summer, as she was being wheeled past Trowbridge's new £10,000 swimming pool, she turned to her mother and sald: "Please, mummy, may I have a Bwim?"
Mrs. Hoope, astonished by the request,
involuntarily replied: "No, dear, of course not:"
But Valerie begged so hard that the mat- ter was put to doctors, who decided to let Valerie have her way.
The plaster was cut off, and Valerie was wheeled to the baths. Mr. Ettles, the in- structor, took grent trouble with this little crippled girl, and was amazed at the ease AND with which she learned to swim. GRADUALLY THE TWISTED LEG WAS SEEN TO BE REGAINING A NORMAL POSITION.
Doctors and Valerie's parents were fur- ther astonished when they saw the child swim fifty yards to win a certificate.
But there was better news last week, Valerie was to have undergone a' big opera- tion, but so successful has been the swim- ming cure that she can now walk normally; and it has been decided that the operation will never be necessary.
