The lottery Is an ancient Institution. The Promised Land was divided among the twelve tribes of Israel by lot.

Kings college, now Columbia university, was founded on the proceeds of a lottery. We are told that the first French lottery, held In ItiSl. was won by the king, an- outcome which for a time dampened the ardor of his subjects. After having been under the ban for a hundred. years, the French lottery was and met with Instant popular enthusiasm. The best known and most widely patronized lotteries In the world today are the Irish F'ree State sweepstakes and the Calcutta sweepstakes. Opponents of lotteries point to the long record of corruption and crookedness associated with them during their early use here and abroad. They condemn them on social as well as moral grounds, pointing to the fact that the desire on the part of hundreds of thousands of Americans to get rich quick In this fashion was one of the causes of our financial crash. It Is also argued that lotteries with cheap tickets have their greatest appeal to persons with small Incomes, and therefore operate as an tax on the poor. In considering the attitude of government toward gambling It la possible to draw a line between those measures which recognize changing moral standards, wide Interest In horse racing, the difficulty of enforcing prohibitory statutes, and even the desirability of obtaining some public return from various sporting events, and those measures which seek to put the government, whether federal, state or local, directly Into the business of promoting an outright gambling institution like a lottery.

Sliding into the turns at these terrific speeds, there was nothing to hold the car to the track except the tire. Mile after mile, lap after lap, greater and greater heat and increased centrifugal force developed to separate the tread from the body of the tire.
