Gambling is illegal in California, so an enterprising organisation has anchored a luxurious gambling ship beyond the three-mile limit near Los Angeles and provides a service of 16 taxi launches for clients. Customers are offered a 7-course dinner free, and, on the average, they leave 25s a guest at the 40 gambling tables.
There are reported to be nearly 3,000,000 dogs in Great Britain, or 900,000 more than there were 15 years ago and 1,000,000 more than before the war. A factor said to be contributing to the popularity of the dog is that modern married couples have fewer children and find a dog a good companion. Children have also a greater affection for animals than was the case years ago.
