A National Lottery

It would be horrfying to most people to suggest
the establishment of national lottery in order to
pay the national debt with proceeds of the govern
ment's rake-off. We are not suggesting such thing
but would not be entirely without precedent even in
this Christian land according to the Tampa Tribune
which reminds that:
In 1912 lottery was authorized for the benefit
of the struggling Virginia colony Fanueil Hall in
Boston, the "crade of liberty was rebuilt by lottery
aid before the Revolution At least four different lot
teres conducted for the benefit of Harvard Col
lege in its early days.
Funds for prosecuting the Revolution were rails
ed to considerable extent by of lotteries. In
1779 Massachusetts received rakeoff of more than
$4,000 from state lottery. In 1893 funds for the es
tablishment of the nations capital in Washington
aided by the same means.
These are only few instances of the employ
ment of lotteries in aid of commercial educational
charitable and other laudabe purposes during our ma
tonal history In fact it was not until 1890 that Con-
gress enacted any law forbdding the of mails
lottery enterprises
Even today, we have many prize schemes which
are virtually lotteries, including the well-known

Sidelights On Unemployment

Technically of course, everybody who isn't work
ing is unemployed But whether he is unemployed be-
cause he does not want to work. because he is un-
able to work. because he did work and does not
intend to begin now, or whether he is actually vic
tim of the depression, having once been habitual
worker and now unable to find employment are ques
tions which need to be answered before any intei-
gent understanding of the unemployment situation
can be arrived at.
In the absence of any such count and classifica
tion it is the easiest thing in the world for political
demagogues to assert that there ten or twelve
million persons who once had jobs but are now un-
employed A little thought will demonstrate that this
cannot possibly be true.
Industry at it's peak, using the word in it's strict
sense of manufacturing, never employed as many as
ten million workers. and the National Industrial Con
ference Board reports that industry as whole is
now employing more than 80 percent of it's former
high Those figures borne out by a survey which
one newspaper, the New York Sun has been making
among all the large manufacturers and business hous
es of the United States. An amazingly high percent
age of them report that they now employing more
workers than they were in 1929.
Who then, actually constitute the army OF the
unemployed? Well, there the farm workers who
have lost their jobs because of droughts and reduc
ton of crop acreage Their number is estimated
iously up to two million. Then there are the younger
potential workers who have been unable to land jobs
since they reached working age No reasonably ap-
proXmate figures of their number is available but 1t
may run to a couple Of million high percentage of
these, however, is being absorbed rapidly in retail
trade which is running ten percent higher in vol
ume and in number Of employees than in 1929 On the
national average
All in ALL the Sun comes to the conclusion that
there are only few more than three million employ
ables in trade and industry who are actually unem
ployed

Food And Health

Popular ideas about food are strange admixture
of truth and fiction according to recent article by
Dr. Lieb an authority diet Particularly is this the
with respect to notions OF what is good for peo
pe or not good for them, under varying circumstanc
eS
For example bananas and nuts long thought
to be hard to digest but if the bananas ripe and
the nuts are cheWed sufficiently they among the
most easily digestible of foods.
The prejudice against foods is also unwar-
ranted it is said Raw corn, wheat and other starches
in moderate amounts completely digested, while
potatoes 78 per cent digestibe. The craving
of children for potatoes may be ndulged to
IA reasonable extent without harm, and the same is
true of cabbage and lettuce.
Drinking water during meals was long thought
to be harmful to the Digestion but for normal per-
sons it is declared to be beneficial if slipped in
between swallows of solid food.
Forcing children to eat spinach Or other foods
which they do not like is not good for them, as the
feeling of repulsion which they experience hinders
digestion.
While the doctor does not say so in so many
words it appears that rather safe rule OF diet is to
eat what one likes provided it does not produce any
disagreeabe after effects And regardless of advice
that is what most of us insist on doing anyway.
The trouble is that if the meek do inherit the
