MARBLE GAMBLING From Page One I'm for letting the old game stand as it is." Righto, was the sentiment of the majority and the die was cast. Marbles for Boy Scouts, Just as for kids not old enough to be Boy Scouts but who want to be some day, shall henceforth be shot for "keeps." And when you come to think of it, when you remember the days you were paddled for getting your hands so dirty shootin' marbles out in the alley, you feel like patting the committeemen cn the back.

Marble shooting, as marbles are shot, may distantly be termed gambling, but who cares if it is "distant gambling." The kids like it and chances are they don't look at it that way at all. Instead when they send the "commies" splattering from the ring and scoop 'em up they're not figuring how much the marbles are worth. No sir, they're beating the other fellow. No use drawing a line, and if marble playing for "keeps is a sin," well- draw you own conclusions. H.
