Purchasers,
Evidefice gathered by United
States Postal Inspectors casts
suspicion on some of the officials
of the Hospital Trust in Ire-
land, sponsors, of ,the sweep-
stakes, A high post office de-
partnient official told the race
Gazette: "Numerous checks that
were traced, by this,Service had
been cashed by-offiCials of the
Hospital Trust In Ireland, ob-
viously for their own account."
In many cases postal inspec-
tors get the drop on the "drops'
and immediately issue fraud
orders which goes to the mail
clerks in the New York post-
office sorting mail bound for
Ireland. When the clerk comes
across :a letter being sent to a
"drop", it is intercepted—stam-
ped fraudulent—and returned
to the sender. Furthermore,
the sender is liable for prose-
cution for using the mails to
participate in a lottery, if the
letter contains lottery stubs, or
remittance from the sale of the
Sweepstake tickets.
The racket involved in the
sale of foreign lottery tickets to
Americans is not only • limited to
the Irish Sweepstakes. Postal
inspectors are plagued with a
steady influx of sweepstakes tic-
kets from l&teries operated in
28 other countries, including
Argentina, Cuba, Malta, British
West Indies, Mexico, Germany,
India, France, Brazil, etc.
Are the sweepstake prizes
fairly distributed? A few years
ago after an extensive investi-
gat:on the Post Office discovered
that:
"Only a small percentage of
the amount of money filched
from the American public was
returned in, prizes. The list of
winners published by the pro-
moters and distributed far and
wide contains many purely &-
Miens names and other infor-
mation. As these * frauds were
investigated, it was found that
the promoters retained the lion's
share of the returns and prac-
tically all the balance filched
from the public went to distri-
butors and to agents as commis-
sion."
So if you're dreaming of a
quick killing by buying a sweep-
stake ticket and a life of lux-
ury and ease as a result of your
winnings, remember: You're a
tucker in a $100 million annual
racket—the odds 'are stacked
against you by counterfeit lot-
tery rings and dishonest distri-
butors and agents.—by George

E011et-Proef vests and Steel-
ined hats came into fashion
'bout the time that gangsters'
bullets were whistling up and
lawn American streets, But the
lathion was by no means a new
me.
In 188Q the Kelly Gang, Aus-
tralian outlaws, descended on the
town, of J'erilderie, robbed the
sank, and murdered the local
mnstable,
Police were sent from Mel-
bourne to wipe out the gang, and
,he Kelly boys retreated to the
little town of Glenrowan, where
they herded the populace into
the local hotel. Then, having
tried to tear up the railway line
in front of the advancing police
train, they barricaded themselves
in the,hotel with their hostages
and prepared to shoot it out.
After an all-night fight, Ed-
ward (Ned) Kelly, one of the
gangsters; emerged from the
hotel, and none of the police
bullets could harm him, for he
had put together a suit of ar-
mour made from p,loughshares
wrapped around., his head and
body. Before he could shoot-up
,the police, however, he was
brought down by a shot in the
legs.
Today, the American police
have taken to the idea of body
armour in the fight against
crime. The latest type issued to
the Detroit Police consists of a
65 lb. metal cuirass which covers
the head and body and is sur-
mounted by a small but power-
ful spotlight faced with bullet-
proof glass. The visor is pro-
vided with windows, also of
bullet-proof glass, and strap-on
enamored plates are provided, to
protect the legs. The police will
look like a robot army when
they go into action against riot-
ing crowds or besieged gunmen.
How Much Sleep
Do You Need?
Did you sleep well last night?
How many hours did you sleep?
And when you awoke, did you
feel 'completely rested?
Questions like these, and many
others, are being, put' to men,
women and children by U.S. doc-
tors studying the mystery of
sleep and trying to find out how
much the body really requires.
Most, people don't feel happy
unless they have eight hours'
sleep every night, but there are
students of sleep who say that's
too much. Sir Herman Weber,
an autholity on long life, blamed
some people's habit of sleeping
more than eight hours for the
premature decay of the brain.
It's well known that many men
of active brain are, satisfied with
little sleep. Immanuel Kant
slept very little, remarking that
"much sleep exhausts energy'
and shortens life.?' Dr. Graham
Bell, pioneer of the telephone,
seldom slept for more than four
hours out of the twenty-four.
Lord Nuffield never needs the
prescribed eight hours and Na-
poleon was another 'renowned
short sleeper.
A Dr. Hollingwotth, who spent
months conducting research, into
sleep, said that one day it may
be possible even, to develop a
sleepless race. "Eventually' we
may eliminate sleep altogether,"
he forecast.

Boxers Who
Have S.• - "Maoris
Of all sp(„ boxers are
the most superstitious.. "Ter-
rible" Terry McGovern, one-
time werl ti's featherweight
champion, when preparing for a
contest, used to spit in his right
boot before lacing it.
Once he slipped up; he was
defending his title against Young
Corbett. While he was getting
ready to go into the ring there
was, l thumping on his dressing-
room door, and his challenger
called out:
"Come on out, McGovern, yog
Irish rat, and take the licking of
your life."
Terry was so incensed he could
not get into the ring quick
enoug4, In his haste he forgot
his ritual of spitting into his'
right shoe. He was knocked out
in the second round and lost his
title,
Willie Pastrano, twenty-year-
old Chicago heavyweight, always
takes his wedding ring with him
when he goes into battle. He
laces the ring to his shoe and
says it gives him the feeling
that his wife is in there with
him.
So far •it's worked wonders,
for Willie'stands high up in the
world heavyweight champion-
ship ratings.
Boxers are very prone to'
superstition about their fighting
togs. •
Maxie Rosenbloom wore the
same red dressing - gown year
after year during his long career.
He'd had it from his very first
fight and no matter `how ragged
it got, he refused to' part with it.
After each contest it had to
be sewn up' to keep the pieces
together and was in such a de-
ploraLle state that once, when
fighting in Hollywood, film star
:Carole Lombard gave him a
gorgeous Chinese gown that
might have been made for , an
emperor. Maxie wore it twice,
lost on both occasions, and then
went back to his old "red ruin".
Some fighters are so scared
of changing their- luck that they
will not go into action unless
they are wearing the right pair
cf, shorts, a favorite pair of boots,
or a mascot of some kind.
Not so Gus Lesnevich, the
American cruiserweight, w h o
fought Freddie Mills and Bruce
Woodcock in England. When
defending world's title • in New
York against Billy Fox, he dis-
covered he had left his dressing-
gown behind in his New Jersey
home.
There was time enough for it
to be fetched, but Gus was con-
tent to borrow one. He knocked
out his challenger in 118 seconds,
,which is a record for a title fight
in the light-heavyweight divi-
sion.
Billy Petrolle always came
into the ring with a tattered
Navajo Indian ,blanket wrapped
around his shoulders.
When he fought Tony Canzon-
eri for the lightweight title,
someone suggested that the old
blanket was hardly appropriate
for such an auspicious occasion.
Shouldn't he leave it in the
dressing-room?
"Never," replied Billy. "I'm
superstitious. That old blanket
has brought me luck all along
and if I toss it aside for the most
important fight of my life, I'll
only be asking for trouble." lie
wore his blanket, but lost on
points after a hard fight.

LIVESTOCK
The truth about the Irish
Sweepstake ,,operations in the
United. States and Canada have
never been told. A cloak of
high-pressure publicity has
shielded the sinister racketeer-
ing done under its glamorized
'name. BLit, now, for the first
time, the Police Gazette has
unearthed the shocking story.
Three times- a year sweep,
stake drawings are held in
Dublin based on the famous
Englfsh turf classics, the Grand
National, the Derby and
the Cambridgeshire. Newspapers
throughout Canada and the 'U.S:
sensationally publish lists of
Irish Sweepstakes winners and
splash the photos of the jubi-
lant winners over their front
pages. This is the opium which
feeds the dreams of millions of
Americans who believe that
their pot-of-gold lies at the end
of the Irish rainbow.
Those Americans who can
least afford it pour over $100
million dollars a year into the
pockets of agents peddling tick-,
ets to forutne,
But the tragic story is that
the*dreams and hopes of mil-
lions of Americans are the
foundation upon which the big-
gest racket in the world has
been 'built, a racket' that has
mulcted a billion dollars from
the American public in the last
ten years.
In its efforts to circumvent
the Federal laws in the United
States, which prohibit lotteries
from using the mails, or engag-
,ing in inter-state commerce, the
distribution of Irish Sweep-
stake tickets in the United
States is in the hands of shady
distributors, dishonest agents
and petty swindlers who pocket
a lion's share of the. money col-
lected.
Nineteen out of every twenty
Irish Sweepstake tickets' sold in
America are counterfeit and
distributed by highly organized
gambling syndicateS. One mid-
west ring sold 20 million coun-
terfeit tickets during a 15 year
period. Another defrauded the,
public of more than 28 mil-
lion 'dollars in..a single year and
a' , third distributor . and his
agents peddled more than $1,-
500,000 in bogus tickets i n a
single month.
This is merely part of the in-
side story of the Irish SWeep-,
stake which has been. uncover-
ed by the Inspectors of the U.S.
Post Office Department, who
made concerted drives to stamp

fidential Postal Inspectoet
pert that Aims up the rack,

of the Sweepstake tick ,tt in
the United States:

fraudulent receipt's, or counter-
foils."
The official Irish Sweepstakd
offices in. Dublin are fully aware
of the widespread counterfeiting
of tickets and the loopholes
through which `heir dishonest
agents crawl with most of the
money obtained frc,m the sale
of their tickets to the American
public. But there is nothing
much they can do. They print
a warning on the ticket asking
purchasers to be certain that the
agent selling the ticket is "trust-
worthy" and explain that an
official receipt will be sent from
Dublin, But the counterfeit
lottery ring also print bogus re
ceipts and have them sent to
their customers from Ireland.
Even if purchasers aren't vic-
timized by the lottery rings
selling counterfeit tick et s,
the've got little chance that their
genuine ticket will ever end• up
in the drawing wheel in Dublin.
Genuine tickets are smuggled
into the United States to a
central distribution depot. From
here, they are sent to local dis-
tributors throughout the country
who pass them on to their
agents to sell.
Now let's say you buy a tic-
ket from one of these agents,
here's what can happen to the
$2.85 you pay for it.
The agent, whose commission
is two tickets from each book
he sells, may pocket the pro-
ceeds, or he may turn over the
money with the stubs contain-
ing the names and addresses of
the buyers to his distributor.
The distributor frequently poc-
kets the money from the sale of
many of the books and only
transmits a small portion of the
funds to Ireland. Sweepstake
officials have no way of check-
ing whether their distributors
gave them an honest count.
Crooked distributors, in cahoots
with accomplices in Ireland,
then mail phoney receipts to the
purchasers postmarked ' from
Dublin,
In recent years local distri-
butors have come up with an
"honest" way of robbing you.
They've acquired mailing lists
of individuals in their territories
and have mailed them books
with instructions to remit the
money directly to a certain
name and address in Ireland.
7..'ecause of the constant surveil-
lance of postal inspectors, hun-
dreds of different names and
addresses in Ireland are used as
"drops."
Let's say a •person gets a
book of Irish Sweepstake tic-
kets in the mail with a letter
asking him to sell the tickets
(he'll get two free out of each
book as commission) and then
remit the money to a certain
"drop" in Ireland. He's asked
to get a cashier's check or Am-
Some boxers refuse to fight

Another world's champion,
Lou Ambers, would never fight

As a boy he was badly burned
in the neck by a firework during
July 4th celebrations and on an-
