interest pending ana prospective legls-

ture and becomes q law, the situation
in the home of the thoroughbred will
be considerably relieved. Among Ken
lucky men who have been racing
horses here this winter, and who ara
in position to know something about
the politics OF the Blue Grass State,
there is an impression that either this
or some other similar measure Will be-
come law. IL not, the Churchill
Downs spring meeting will, without
doubt. go on anyhow. 1t would require
an extreme prohibitory bill. which
would then have to be sustained by the
Superior Courts. to prevent racing IN
Kentucky.
Some dozen years ago. when the Con.
stitntion of the State was revised.
charters In perpetuity were granted to
Lexington. Churchill Downs and La
tonia. These charters prescribed that
either poolselling, bookmaking or spec
ulation through the medium OF pari-
mutucls could be carried on all Of the
three race-tracks named during The
periods that racing was in progress.
Thus II IL should come to time when
an antiracIng law happened TO be pas
sed In Kentucky. which is the remotest
of posslbilities--for thoroughbred breal-
ing and racing are institutions OF the
state involving millions OF dollars-tho
courts would then have to decide upon
the validity Of the charters already III
existence.
The announcement that under any
circumstances the Churchill Downs
people will adopt the pari-mutuel sys-
TEN of betting will be noted with keen
attention all over the country. This
mode of speculation Is the one that has
been In vogue in France for grcnt
many years, where the State derives a
small percentage In revenue, devoted 20
various charities and other useful pur-
poses The system was found to be a
success there.
In the early seventies the mutuel ma
chimes were in use on the Eastern
tracks. T'he attempt was made to sup
plant the hooks with them but this
met with so much opposition from the
big betting men of those days. many Of
whom were powerful factors on the
turf, that the plan was abandoned and
a compromise effected whereby the
books operated as usual and a speci-
fled number OF machines were also al
lowed to be in operation. The ma
chimes were finally abandoned 1t

New Cement Products Factory.

A new industry for this city is
a factory for the manufacture of CO.
ment blocks, cement fence posts,
sewer pipe, flues, etc. Michael
Gilbride is the proprietor. and he
is erecting building on the
switch track adjoining ID. A. Haw-
kins' warehouse. The machinery
is arriving and the plant will be
in operation early next week. As
a starter, Mr.. Gilbride has Sc
cured a contract from J.R. Fields,
state horticultural inspector, for
enough cement fence posts to
surround 240 acre ranch.
These posts will be furnished for
20 cents each. While the price
is nearly double that asked for
wooden ones, the cement posts
are .indestructible and will last
forever. This new style of fenc-
ing is an innovation in this sec
ton of the country, but it is
probable il will rapidly gain ia
vor, owing to its durability, and
will be largely employed in the
future. In addition to the articles
mentioned above, the factory will
also turn out cement bricks, which
are becoming popular for building
purposes, being both durable and
attractive. Mr.. Gilbride will in
stall the most modern machinery,
and with his many years of ex-
perience in building operations,
he will manufacture thoroughly
reliable line Of cement products.

PLATED SKIRTS ARE PAssE.
Don't Try to Make Them Over, Is Ad.
vice of Expert.

The plated skirt is passe. Tho
proper thing is the many gored skirt,
guiltless Of p,aits. Yet we all have
a plated skirt or two.
Shall it be ripped, sponged, the
fullness taken out and the cores re
cut into plain, unplaited cores, asks
Anne Rittenhouse in the PHILADELPHIA
Ledger. Then she says:
The earnest advice of anyone who
knows is against this process. It il
true that plain gored skirts are in first
style, and if woman is ordering 8
new suit she must be guided by this
fact, but this does not argue that the
plated skirt is hopelessly out of style
1T is never a good plan to recut a
cloth skirt. When one has to deal
with cloth, it is hard to give it the
tailor finish and keep it in style after
1t has been cut and pulled and ripped.
Unless it is too far out of style
to be permissible, far better wear it

take the time and money to work Oh
what cannot be a good Job"
