TRUTH ABOUT THE

CASINOS.

A WEEK-END VISIT TO LE

TOUQUET,

GAMBLERS ALLOWED TO WIN

AS WELL AS LOSE?

What is the truth behind the much advertised stories of sensational wing at the gambling tables at Le Touquet and other Continental- resorts ?

This is what I set out to discover during the week-end. I wanted to see millions of francs in notes Dr counters, I wanted to see people trying to thrust them into their pockets or carrying them off in wastepaper baskets.

A five-hour journey from London brings travellers to Etaples, the nearest station to Le Touquet, where omnibuses meet every train and drive new arrivals to their hotels through a forest of pinos, past pretty villas with English naines. I was taken to the Casino a low, white building, built, in Normandy style, round an attrac tive garden.

Prosperity, scarcely surprising in view of the fact, that £400,000 profits were made last year, was evident on every side.

A gala" dinner was in pro- gress in the adjacent restaurant, and passers-by gaped through the plate-glass windows at beautifully dressed women sipping champagne For toying with a mouthful of leavinre.. Uniformed attendants, wearing kuce breeches and buckled shoes, bowed low to each arrival.

Card Index.

I needed, it seemed, a card of admission to the baccarat rooms. Four officials sitting behind a high | desk asked for my passport, creden

tials, age, profession. All these de- tails are carefully Bled, and a card index is kept of every visitor to the rooms. About 13,000 cards are issued yearly.

"Sign here, please." said one of the men.

MYSTERY OF WELSH MUDBANKS.

FISHERMAN AND WIFE FOUND DROWNED.

The South Pembrokeshire Coroner (Mr. H. A. F. Price) held an in- quiry at Cleddau, Pembrokeshire, into a double drowning accident. 2 fisherman, The victims wore Samuel John, aged 73, and his wife, Mary John, aged 83.

One morning they went out in n small boat to gather mussels in Carew River, au estuary of the River Cleddan. When they failed to return "a search was instituted, and late that night their boat was found riding at nuohor empty ex- copt for Mrs. John's randdy clogs and some of her discarded clothing.

The next afternoon the man's body was discovered upright in the mud and sunk to the waist about 300 yards from the place where the beat had beeg found. The tide, which had swept over the spot twice, submerged the body ten or twelve feet. The same night Mrs. John's body was also recovered from a mudbank in another reach of the river about one and a half mile distant.

Various theoriës· werd "put for ward to account for the tragedy. One witness expressed the opinion that the boat stuck on a'mudbank, that Mr. John got out to push her off and got into difficulties, where apon Mrs. John went to his assist aace. From the appearance of the boat and the fact that Mrs. John's clogs were in it he thought Mrs. John afterwards returned to the boat, took off her clogs and some of her clothing, with the idea of making a further attempt to save her husband, and that she lost her life in that attempt.

The Corner returned a verdict of accidentally drowned.

Grey-Haired Women,

There were an un expected number of grey-haired wo- men and one lovely girl in pink Batin closely guarded by two Frenchmen wearing Legion of Hon- our ribbons in their buttonholes. Nine out of ten people present were English. I noticed Lady Dudley (formerly Miss Gertie Millar), Lord Victor Paget, and Mr. Michael "Arlen,

M. Zographos. The money staked may be English, but the bankers, who have the odds mathematically in their favour, are always foreign. The play at this table was high. There is no limit, and the minimum stake is £8. An American, wearing diamond cuff links and studs of ultra-modern pattern, staked with red printed pieces of cardboard worth £800 each.

Another man staked his cigarette -lighter on one side of the table, won, and was given a square green and yellow counter worth at least fifty cigarette lighters. Presumably his credit was good.
