Ordinarily The Star does not print
anonymous letters, but one signed
"A Daily Reader" raises some points
in connection with the campaign
against the numbers racket which per-
haps deserve consideration.
This correspondent writes:
For few pennies, or say cents,
you will receive S27-that is, If your
number hits I know many people
spend that amount daily in happy
anticipation. You may say that it's
foolish and it would be best to save
that amount. However, If that amount
gives pleasure, isn't 1t as well spent
as if it had gone for movie fare or
other forms Of amusement? Don't
you agree with me that amusement
of some kind is very essential to a
happy normal life?
Il consider the numbers game the
poor mans pleasure. The wealthy
women have their bridge games, and
lose or win amounts that to us, the
poor people, mean great deal The
wealthy men have their so private
poker or bridge games, with stakes
so high they would not care to have
the public know.
How about the exclusive gambling
houses to be found here in the Dis
trict, besides in the summer and win
ter resorts frequented only by the
wealthy? Not only their high-stake
gambling, but don't you think their
fine homes, expensive automobiles,
smart clothes and well-stocked cellars
afford them great pleasure, too?
Friend Hits Number.
mot long ago friend of mine
hit the number for a quarter, which
gave her $135-more than she could
earn in several weeks, and to her a
small fortune. To those who daily are
telling the public what a fostering
sore the numbers racket is. $135
would only mean pocket change.
Would you like to know what she
did with all that money? Twenty-Five
dollars went to a very needy person;
$50 paid for furniture; another $50
was deposited in bank to aid expenses
upon the future Juniors arrival. The
$40 left was spent for groceries and
other necessities. Mind you, not q
cent foolishly or for pleasure. Win
ming was the pleasure.
mo, I don't think the numbers
game Is the cause of Washington's
crime wave. And I think the great
crusaders could put their time, efforts
and free speech to other things Of
more importance for bettering our fair
city. -"
Thousands Of Misses.
There is, aSsuredly, a measure Of
truth in Daily Readers" contention.
Beyond doubt, there are times when
hitting the number is a godsend to
some necesSitous family.
But for every "hit" there are un-
counted thousands of misses. With
such q vast number of people playing
the numbers every day, some are bound
to guess right, to pick out Of the air
the three lucky digits lying somewhere
between 900 and 999.
But, like the Irish Sweepstakes, you
hear of the rare winners, not Of the
steady losers, who are bound, from the
law Of averages-which no one yet has
been able to tepea1-to be In the great
majority.
Yes. there are those who spend .
