WON £1478 FOR 10/-. An Englishwoman recently crowned a phenomenal run of luck by winning the “daily double" on the totalisator. She held the only winning ticket and received £1478 for her 10/-. In addition, she won £66 in six 2/cross doubles, and in less than a month won over £2OOO in bets of 10/- and under. To enjoy such a unique run of luck is, of course, phenomenal. Nevertheless, there are a number of people who confidently believe that their turn will come some day. Although some modern writers deplore this spirit, and declare it is typical of the present generation, there is unlimited evidence that it has forever been a trait of human nature to enjoy a “flutter.” A really good investment which can always be relied upon, however, is a tin of Red Shield (dark) or Blue Shield (medium), f(sr they are New Zealand tobaccos at their best and toasted to a turn, which makes all the difference. These excellent tobaccos are obtainable everywhere at 1/7 per two-ounce tin—and also in one-pound canisters. They’re sure winners every time.
