IT APPEARS that in the year 1621, the Pilgrim Fathers were so overjoyed Vvhen their first harvestwas ^gathered in that they held a* service of gratitude to CSod. The New England colonists set apart a day for that specific purpose, and since then similar services have been held annually, the last Thursday in November being the day appointed. In 1804, Sarah Josepha H$le, who is the reputed author of the nursery rhyme: "Mary had a little lamb," advocated the granting of a gen- -eral holiday throughout the states on Th:Hik-*:rivnig day.

TMark Builds His Own Tombstone I : r- &itidon.--|A number of hard-pjressed European governments are helping to balance .their top-heavy budgets through the medium of legalized lotteries. The1 vision of sudden fortune, by the simple expedient of buying an inexpensive ticket, lures millions of dollars each year from the pockets of rich «nd poor alike. And In every Instance the national exchequers are benefited. The principal countries where lotteries are permitted In Europe include France, Italy, Spain, and the Irish Free State, the last of which, In Its "racing sweepstakes, has the largest and most widely known of alL ; For Different Purpose*. The rules of conducting lotteries ?ary In eabh country as do the statedpurpose for which they are run. The Irish Free State hospitals benefit under the sweepstakes which are run in connection with three , outstanding British hotW races fcaeh y^ar. The Red Cross1 and the University Olty In Spain are allowed certain extra ; drawings for their own profit, while France and Italy allocate their shares to . governmental departments as they think fit. The biggest lottery of aiTIs" the Irish Sweepstake. Run three times a year, on the occasions Of the English Grand National, Epsom Derby and Cesarewkch Handicap, i,t receives subscriptions from more than 100 countries. Since 1030, when it was started under the registration of the Irish Jlospital Trust,-.Ltd., lucky ticket holders have been p ni d ~iu^e~TTi (in" JtOOOOO^WQ? By far the greatest number of tickets in this sweepstake are purchased In Britain/' where it is illegal for any person to sell them. However, the tickets are smuggled in and sold. The money goes hack to Ireland.' »' Out of these receipts and those from other countries, the Irish hospitals have benefited by more than $30,000,- 000 dnring the past four years. The government itself received 25 per cent of the hospitals' share, and in addition, since 1932, has also realized ?2,500,000 in taxes oh the "sweep." , Has Longest Record. ~7" The Spanish National Lottery has the longest record of consistent performance. It dates back to 1703. when Charles III, looking for new means qf supplementing his privy purse, hit upon this method. lu Spain, three draws are held regularly each month, in addition to five extraordinary draws, two of which are for the special benefit of the Red Cross and the "University City. The lottery has grown to such an extent that last year the gross--receipts amounted to $57,750,000. Of this amount prize-winners received $40,356,100, wages and administration expenses took $1,513,480 and the remaining $15,888,240 went to the government. The popularity of the lottery In France is shown by the fact that it Is practically Impossible to buy a ticket for as many as five days before a drawing. It is only recently that the lottery was legalized, and its object Was to pay war veterans' pensions with the government's share of the proceeds. Prize money takes 60 per cent of the total receipts; expenses are estimated at ft per cent and the remaining 35 per cent goes into the-national treasury to be applied to war pensions. The participant in the lottery has a one to nine chance of winning a prize, the highest of which is $320,000. In Italy the government reaps about $6,380,000 a year from the lotteries which are conducted weekly by the state. The -drawings are made In the eight principal cities, and large returns are possible from very small outlay.
