But although this would be all very good fun, it must be recognised that there is a serious side to it all. Just imagine our Vicar presiding over a lucky dip at our next bazaar in which acemingly harmless oc- capation there is an element of chance and imagine a policeman strolling in and clapping handcuffs on the Vicar for aiding and abetting in the conduct of a lottery!

There is too much uncertainty about this lottery business alto gether. All the official explanations of the position so far given are as helpful as an empty thermos-flask in
the middle of the Sahara.. What we law-abiding citizens want to know is, where do we stand 1. That sweep is a lottery is as obvious as a fapper's garters on the ferry. What we want to know is-may we gamble, and when, and how? Law- yers and policemen and officials may talk as much as they like, but we are not any the wiser after the whirl of words is over.

Speaking of courts martial, I should not be surprised to hear of
few fine fellows being shot - at dawa within the next few days. It is not to be expected that men can do the goose-step gracefully when one half the band is playing the regimental March and the other fellows are playing the national anthem! This double-harmonic syncopation stuff may be all right in the ballroom, but it simply won't do on the parade-ground. And who was it filled up the F sharp bombardon with beer i Liquid
