ATLANTA —(®— The common
foothall pool emerged the loser
today in a match with a mathe
maticain’s pencil.
Dr. R. A. Hefner of Georgia
Tech's mathematics staff, whose
hobbies include dissecting the law
of averages, was handed a typical
pool ticket listing seven games for
the week.
On the ticket, the purchaser is
admonished that “all teams select
ed must win,” and invited to pick
from four to seven of them.
If he picks four—and they ali
win—he is paid 7 for 1 on his bet:
if five, 10 for 1; if six, 20 for L
and if all seven, 25 for 1.
Thus armed with information!

Without taxes the milk you drink would not be
exmained in a well-equipped laboratory by a bacte
riological expert, thus safeguarding you from dis
ease germs that are harbored by milk, and the very
water you drink.
Witheut taxes you would not receive the many
other services which you accept as a matter of
course today, without thought of how they are
provided because you have grown accustomed to
them. And because you have never had to do with
out them you do not realize how necessary they
are to you and to everyone. But remove taxes—
abolish these important daily services—and see
how you would like it. '
In temorrow's election you will be called upon
to decide whether you want to cut down upon
public services, some of which have been enumer
ated above, or whether you want to continue
them upon the present basis. But if you do you
must pay taxes.
There are, it is true, many people who do not
want to pay taxes. They want all taxes abolished.
They are either selfish, too selfish for their own
good, or they simply have not considered what the
public services provided by tax revenues mean to
them and to their families.
