VNHE Government of the United States frowns upon
l. sweepstake lotteries.
But it permits millions upon millions of dollars
despite casual Post Office objection-to be diverted
out of our monetary channels into those of the
Irish Free State.
And it levies taxes on American citizens fortunate
enough to win.
As a liberal newspaper, flattering ourselves that
we keep abreast of the times, we can see no harm
and only ultimate good in Government-operated lot
terry similar to that which functions in Dublin.
It won't be turned to INSCRIPTIONS gamblers
as were the Infamous Louisiana lotteries of so years
u,J and ago-which
TE. Ty.s.,. paid out single capital prize.
1t won't be stencil in the
trs as were the New York and Boston lotteries of the
193O's-nor will it be tinged with tragedy as was the
ifated Monticello lottery, designed to keep Thomas
Jefferson out of the poorhouse.
So why not let US face the matter and stop being
hypocritcal about it? wellconducted annual Gov
eminent lottery on the Preakness or the Kentucky
Derby would not impair morals would give all
new interest in life and pour stream of money into
the United States Treasury. AS long tickets in the
millions being bought here for the benefit of other
countries why not keep both profit and prizes from
such a venture for ourselves?
Incidentally the legislature of Ontario adopted
luton last Thursday forming Ontario Hospital
Sweepstakes modelled Irish Sweepstake lines. And
certainly Ontario is recognized as a conservative
province.
They used to run very successful 'iterature''
lottery in Covington, Ky. reporter, covering the
drawing in the 7O's, wrote that it 'to all ap-
pearances marveously proper proceeding, BUT
PAINFULLY TEDIOUS" He must either have lost
out at the start else failed to buy ticket.
Just prior to and during Revolutionary days lot
teres the recognized methods of raising cash for
churches educational institutions and public deve
opments.
Some of our oldest and most famous places of wor-
ship would have into existence had there
been no lotteries from which to gather building and
endowment funds. Columbia University, of New
r... AL, York, was founded with the
co1vr,b;c 11n;roro;t,, proceeds of lottery. HoI-
worthy and Stoughton halls
of Harvard University came into being through lot
terry funds.
Several impoverished States of the South sought to
retrieve themselves financially after the Civil War
through lotteries and conceivably would have done
80 but for the Puritan outlook of the Northern States
Both North and South are in financial difficulties
now-so why not let's all pull together for the biggest
lottery in the world? There's millions in it for the
Government and it would Tighten the burden on the
taxpayer.

eral and therapeutic values.
So deep was Washington's In
tereSt that he aided in the develop
ment of Berkeley Springs, w. Va,
and nego tiated unsuccessfully
after the Revolution for the pur'
chase of Saratoga Springs N. z
INTEREST AROUSED
AS a youth, Washington's in
terest in curative natural waters
was awakened when he led a sur
veying party in 1748 to the famous
springs in the wildS of Western
Virginia-now West Virginia.
The springs, which did not re-
ceive their present name until 80
years later, were known far and
wide among the Indian tribes for
their curative value. Indians came
from as far north as Che shores
of the Great Lakes to battle in the
warm mineral waters flowing from
the five springs.
Land surrounding the springs
was owned by Lord Fairfax and
he, in order to preserve the waters,
decided SO acres in trust for future
generations. Under Lord Fairfax'S
direction plans were made to estab-
liSh spa at the springs and one
of the first purchasers q property
in the projected town site was
George Washington.
SLOW IN GROWTH
The new town of Bath grew
slowly and as late as 1884 there
were only five lighthouses there.
But as word of the healing effect
of the waters spread, the spa be-
came increasingly popular. Now
it is one of West Virginia's proud
est natural health and recreation
centers.
Had Washington been success
full in his efforts to purchase Sara
toga Springs one of the most
ruthless and shortsighted ex-
amples of commercial exploitation
of natural resources might have
been avoided.
UNUSUAL WATERS
None of the great spas of
Europe have such a wide range of
saline and alkaline components
as the famed mineral springs at
Saratoga.
Naturally carbonated at I'M
known depths, the springs were
shooting their waters as high as
so and IS feet in the air in 1890.

PLAN TO SURVEY
NATIVE SPRINGS
ST|RS INTEREST
Congress Action Likely
At Present Session
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY


Spas Sprang up all over the
landscape today as Congress was
canvasSed for possible legislative
support for Senator O'Mahoney's
proposed survey of the Nations
mineral springs by the United
States Public Health Service.
A dozen Senators expressed
their interest in the proposal
pointing to natural curative
springs in their own States as of
fering possibilities for develop
neEt.
There is q cave at Brunswick,
VT" Senator Warren F. Austin
declared, "in which there are
half a dozen springs of different
mineral content. They are all
of different colors. The water
pours out of them in reverend
ing supply and tumbleS down to
the Connecticut River"
KING FOR PLAN
Senator William H. King, Of
Utah, spoke of a group of mineral
springs near Great Salt Lake, a
short distance from Salt Lake
City.
Oklahoma's Senators-Josh Lee
and Elmer Thomas-were enthusi.
astic about the mineral springs at
Claremore, home Of the late Will
Rogers. They are famous for
the iodine content.
OTHER SPRINGS
Senator M. M. Nicely, of West
Virginia, pointed out that in ad,
dition to White Sulphur Springs,
nationally known as a health re.
sort, in Greenbrier county, there
are other mineral springs in Mon
roe county on the south.
North Cardinals legislators
boosted of the curative values of
Piedmont Springs in that State.
AS interest in the survey pro
posal spread through the Senate
and House, it appeared probable
the O'Mahoney resolution would
be acted on during the present
session of Congress. Substantial
support is already in evidence.
The Washington times., 1938-04-13

In steadily increasing numbers
Americans were flocking to the
springs to partake of their bene.
fetal effects.
Then commercial firms discov-
cred process of extracting the
carbonic acid gas from the waters.
The gas was bottled and sent
away to charge waters which had
no curative value. To reach the
natural gas, artificial wells were
sunk and soon the springs at
Saratoga were pouring forth $50
million gallons a year.

U. S. WILL BUY
98 WARPLANES

G.N.S.) America today made
a bold bid for world supremacy

The largest contract for fight
ing airplanes in history, totalling
$14,435,196, was announced by
the War Department for purchase
of long-range bombers.
The huge purchase calls for SO
of the latest and most formidable
fighting craft in the world. Thir-
teen of these craft will be huge
four -engined Boeing bombers.
This will give the Army Air Crps
a total of So of these huge bomb
ers, believed to be the most ef-
fective bombardment aircraft in
the world.
The War Department stated the
original contract, with the new
purchase of the B-18A'S, is "by
