L,RANK c.. MENKE. eastern
= representative of the famous
Churchill Downs, gives me the
first authentic figures l have
ever seen on the Irish sweep
stakes. for some years an
enormously popular form of lot
terry among Americans. He got
them from j. McGrath, man.
aging director of the Hospitals
Trust, Ltd, of Dublin, which
operated the Irish hospitals
sweeps axes.
The organization conducted
three sweepstakes year-the
Grand National, the EPSON
Derby and the Cesarewitch.
The figures for the three con-
secutive eepsta k e - the.
CeSarcwitch of 1888, the last
sweeps of that year and the
Grand National and Epson
Derby for 1898, disclose world
wide sale of S37, 81 800 an
average of less than Sl3,000,000
for each.
Americans bought So, 829, 1875
worth of tickets in those three
sweeps and won back Sl4,-
9S7,Sj6 leaving a dead loss TO
AMERICAN players of 81 ;S4ll sS4499 40,
and not the hundreds of millions
runored But il must be re-
membered that all sales of
tickets in the United States
we've illegal and furtive and
thousands who wanted to buy
tickets could not find a sales
man. Menke thinks about one
prospective buyer in ID found
salesman.
NOW. then, off this guess he
~ says il would seem reason
abe TO assume that each sweeps
conducted with the sanction of
the law in the United States
would gross about S100.000.G00
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-04-17

in sales. II there was one
month, then the grand total Of
sales in the United States alone
would be S1,200,000,000. And
the whole purport of these
figures is 10 give you rough
idea of what a national lottery
for army and navy relief might
do.
Menke points out that if lot
terry tickets were sold in post
offices, as l suggested. there
would be no sales cost at all, as
compared 10 a 10 % per cent
sales cost TO the Hospitals Trust,
Ltd. on sweeps tickets. Nor
would there be anywhere near
the overhead suffered by the
Hospital Trust, Ltd. which
printed up books with Il cou-
ponS TO the book. each costing
$3.50 or a total OF $50, the seller
renting S25 and keeping So as
his compensation.
There were also fat bonuses
for selling the first, second and
third prize tickets. When each
sweeps was closed to further
sales the lads over in Ireland
counted the money. They took
out .25 per cent and divided IT
among 226 hospitals in Ireland.
Then they clipped Is TO 20 per
cent for overhead, including the
bonuses TO statesmen. That left

Keep Up Your Home

ONE very certain result of the war will be that most
~ of us will develop a sharper appreciation of our
homes
OF course our homes always have been the most
important places in our lives Our affections hopes
and our joys center in them.
But as the tensions and anXeties of war increase we
are steadily becoming clearly and gratefully con-
scious homes places of refuge and restoration
We work harder than in normal times, because it is
our proud duty 10 work harder and we need more rest
We worry more than in normal times, because there
is much to be anxious over.
We need, therefore, surcease more relaxation,
constant refreshing of the spirit.
A ND it is in our homes that must find both the
a rest and the relaxation
Obviously then, homes should be made COM
Portable and delightful possible, and all the
fort and much of the delight depend the furniture and
furnishings we put into them
And those things you can buy without any
chilling thought that you may be competing with the
armed forces for anything they need.
On most of the materials that go into the making
Of furniture and furnishings there prorities and
the furniture makers have exercised their excellent Amer
ingenuity provide beautiful and novel substitutes
for such materials needed for national defense.
Whatever you need for your home you get and
this especially good time to think about getting it.

money" If there was $50 in
this money. each got 81. If there
was S450,000, each got $4,000.
The only difference between
sweepstakes and lottery is that
horses are used TO determine
the winners, whereas in lot
terry numbers are drawn.
Menke thinks that if lottery
became legalized here and the
government took so per cent as
its share. divided the net pool
into units of 100000. and ran
the lottery every two months.
the gross sales would total
S600,000,000 annually. giving the
government S300.000,000, which
is not far from my own guess.
