"Whatever legislation is pass. ed, the British working man take a chance on a bet in some way or other."

Those words were used in the House of Commons recently by a Socialist woman MP in the course of a discussion which arose when Conservative member described the football pools as "one of the greatest menaces of the present time."

He argued that if the 50,000 60,000 women clerks employed by engaged in the. the pools were clothing industry the present ration- Ing and shortage could very soon be ended. He asked: "Do we want clothes or pools?"

According to reports nt what passed in the House of Commons on the subject, there are about eight pools which are outstandingly large. The biggest of these employs about 11,000 people.

In the second grade of size there are about 15, in the third grade there is a swarin of 700 to 800 others of the more ephemeral type.
