Mr. Shaw replied, promptly, threatening legal proceedings if his name were used.

STRINGENT NEW BAN ON LOTTERIES
The text was issued last night of the Government's bli dealing with betting and lotteries. It will give rise to acute" controversy.
Two of the principal alterations it is proposed to make in the law
are:
Greyhound Racing will be placed under the control of local authori- Bes and the use of totalisators on dog tracks will be legalised; and
Lotteries will become the subject of more stringent prohibition, as a result of which

"If it is planned to start an ̇alrahip from Ameriea for Batala each ten days, and one from Cen- tral Europe for South America each seven days four airships would be required, he added. "The cost of these four ships and the operating capital necessary would be about £2,200,000. There would be further the cost of airship halis at the termini of each route and of anchor-masts and gas-filling stations at the various landing points. This would amonut to about £1,200,000.
