THE BOOB TRAP

What is the most rapidly growing business in this
country? According to John T. Flynn, writing in
Golfers it is horse racing. And according to the
authority, the racing is mostly bunk and fake
AS for size and Importance, it is set down as a
profitable business than the house building in
dustry the tobacco industry the motion picture
industry Not the racing itself but the betting that is
the almost invariabe accompaniment of horse racing
"For every dollar Uncle Sam spends smokes,
he spend two horse. For every dollar he puts
into those trick box offices at the movie theaters, he
sends three through the cash boxes of the parmutue
machines and booknakers He blows in twice as much
the turf as he does building homes, badly he
needs them He puts up money with licensed and
blind tiger bookmakers than he does for bootleg liquor
and three times much he used to spend for booze
in the old days.
Aside from the 100000 paid admissions last
year to 10000 running horse and the 36OO0-
000 admissions to harnesshorse courses the writer
estimates that than 100000 900 bet at the
tracks and more than S2,000,000000 away from the
tracks, through bootleg bookes."
The sport of kings" he finds, rests on gambling
and the gambler usually loses his money. And the
business grows-how it grows. Tracks and running
days have more than trebled in the last six years

While his subordinatcs in the In

CLAIMED their intention of pcrpctua'
ting the third party he founded,
none would hazard II guess as to
who might be the new leader.
On the other hand, Republicans
saw breakup of the "Lat'ollette
bloc in the farming northwest
particularly in LaFonette S home
state of Wisconsin, which he had
held by sheer dominance of individ-
ual popularity. The death of La
t'ollette, they believe, may open the
state to regular Republican rue.
LaFollette wished that the party
he organized m the last campaign
should continue. lie had pr.
vatcly expressed to his associates the
desire that they carry forward the
banner he carried III an effort to
