	I found the following statistics in the San Francisco Chronicle.
They are from a new book "How You Rate - For Men".  It said that
3 out of five men place a illegal bet during the course of a year.
They broke down betting habits by religion.  The results
struct me as interesting.  I am passing them on without comment. 

	PERCENTAGE OF YOU WHO GAMBLE

	Catholics		80%
	Jews			77%
	Presbyterians		74%
	Episcopalians		74%
	All Protestanst		54%
	Baptists		43%
	No religion		40%
	Bible oriented sects	33%

         remark only because they are always before our eyes."
