THE "COUPON" PRESS
Extract from "THE WEEKLY SCOTSMAN," Dec. 1.
THE decision of the King's Bench, Division in London that one of the football .coupon competitions which came before it for judicial pronouncement is illegal under the Ready-Money Football Betting Act is a sad blow to the "Coupon Press," which has to resort to such competitions, free insurance, and the like, to inflate circulation figures. There competitions have unquestionably a most vicious in- fluence. People buy up papers by the dozen in the fond hope that in one guess or another they may hit the correct results. The sales of papers are thereby inflated; but the chances of success to any * individual are some millions to one, and wholesale boying of papers is sheer waste,
