Quantities ranging from single tickets brought In -by individual foreign travelers to-bundteds of books of^ the 11 inosey ® smuggled across the Canadian border are being taken almost daily by customs officers.

No estimate la available of the additional millions lost through the purchase of counterfeit tickets, but single seizures by the government have involved more than $500,* 000 worth of such "phonies." Investigation- pf a Cuban lottery whose agent# were reported to have sold 3,000,000 tickets in the United States revealed only 100,000 tickets entered In the drawing. i1 Operators of the Irish sweepstakes have boasted that they take $1*000,000 net profit out of the United States on a single lottery. This figure was greatly ex ceded last year; when more'than 2,000,000 tickets at $2.50 each were sold in this country ott the Cambridgeshire lottery operated by the Irish Free State. Of the 2,000,000 buyers there were less than 1,000 winner?. For every .winner there were .more than ,2,000 losers, and all who held counterfeits lost. • There are three Irish sweeps a year, based upon the running" of the English derby at Epsom I>owns, Jhe Cambridgeshire at-Newmarket and the Grand National at Aintree. Other big lotteries' for which tickets are sold in the United States are the French National, Cuban National, .Mexican National and the Canadian Army gnd Navy lottery. The government recently confiscated .tickets on a lottery in Morocco! > Warnings to Post Offices. Lists of names of foreign sweep* stakes and other lottery ticket sellers against whom fraud orders have been Issued by the government are sent each month to 15,000 post offices. Special complications of names and addresses go to twenty.-four postal exchange stations through which j^ll mail for Can-' , ada, Cuba, Irish Free State, France and Luxembourg m'f^t_ clear. No money orders can be drawn,to these persons, and all mail addressed to them must be returned to senders. More than 750 orders have been issued since last August. Since many persons are not willing to claim the returned letters and thereby admit complicity in a lottery, in violation of the United States penal code, the cash contents often go into i the United States treasury and the lottery counterfoils are destroyed. 1 Coming In by mail, the tickets run a gauntlet of watchful postal agents, adept at detecting fraudulent material, no matter how skillfully it may be concealed in rolled newspapers, books, j clothing and first-class mall matter. -Washington.--The federal government Is strengthening Its barriers against sweepstakes and other foreign lotteries.

Lone Women Are Barred by Some Steamer Liner New York.--The women who travel at sea are too rough for the American Merchant Marine, according to the New York Post, which disclosed that several lines have barred unescorted women from cruises on freighters which carry only n few passengers. Reason--too much flirting. "They were too much trouble," an official of one line explained. "One of our captains came In the other day yelling that he'd quit before he'd0 gi> through another cruise with tifescorfed women aboard. Anyway, their presence ruins morale. "From now on the women will have to have husbands along If they warn to travel oil our boats." PONTIAC CO. REPORfS # < "HAPPY TROUBLE" Automobile officials face a problem today that is quite different from what®they have become accustomed to during the last few years. Every answer to the question "How's business?" brought a pause and, if answerved at all, a flock af figures that carried minus signs as a prefix. H. J. Klinger, president Qf Pontiac- Motor Company, has a new kind of trouble today........"happy trouble", that needs no crying* towels. His problem is to supply cars to keep up with . orders, and so it is "happy trouble". With the introduction of two new sixes to its line of eights this year, Porftiac salesmen have become order blank clerks. There is no telling how many Pontiacs could have been delivered so far this year if Mr. Klingler and his staff had known what an avalanche of buying they Were going to be up against. Anyway, in January deliveries were 7390 against 2584 in the same month last year. February's figures ai"e more than 10,732 which is higher than the best month' last yeair, and Mr. Klingler expects to have at least 130,000 new Pontiacs on the road, and perhaps 150,000, by the end •of the year. „ One thing about Mr. Klingler, his figures are respected/' Sales expectantly figures that he set up during the depression and which conservative minds considered rash, were ex-; ceeded. ' He was apjidinted president of Pontiac ebout one and one-half years ago, and. the car is the second "best seller" of all General Motor mjikes. He calls the 1935 model his "first baby"........with its distinctive silver streak hood and narrow ribbons of chromium running from the bottom pf the radiator to the windshield'. Mr. Klingler falls in the category of '"self-made" men. He drew his first pay from a grocerman whom he ran errands in a sfriall Michigan town. He takes his job seriously, but never takes himself that way ...Is one of the youngest heads of a great motor car company Deals with mien, not things. When men are right, things are right.
