ADVOCATES RACING
AT LONG DISTANCE
Thomas F. Ryan Holds That Endu-
rance and Courage Are Superior
Qualities to Speel in
Thoroughbreds

NEW YORK, Feb. Am effort is
being made to revive long-distance
horse racing in this country. The prin-
cipal advocate of races that demand
speed, endurance and courage is one of
the latest patrons of the turf-Thomas
Fortune Ryan. The traction magnate
has been consulting some stewards of
the Jockey club and trying to inject
into them some of his enthusiasm for
this particular branch of racing.
This subject Of long distance races
the four-mile kind-heats, too, if horse
men will see it that way-is a hobby
with Ryan. He has a deeply rooted
conviction that races over long routes
are the contests befitting thorough
breds, and not the present day sprints
of five, six and seven furlongs.
Ryan believes that under present
conditions the struggles are so short
that an advantage gained at the start
very often decides a race. Under such
conditions the very thing sought after
by breeders, extreme speed, frequently
is placed at naught because horses that
possess that high quality may be ham
dicapped by ground lost at the rise of
the barrier.

LEXINGTON. Ky, Feb. An
nouncement by Secretary Rouse of the
Kentucky state racing commission that
officials of the Latonia Racing asso-
citation have decided to hold a meeting

Churchill Downs has applied for May

thirty days following.

JUDGE VALUES KISSES
IN COURTROOM AT S25
Youth Pays Fine for Other Conviction
and Follows with Expensive
Demonstration of Affection

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.--For a kiss, the
recipient of which was Carrie Vothl,
Is years old, 1914 West Fourteenth
place, William Barry who boasts 10
years, was assessed $25 recently.
Had he kissed the girl amid sur
roundings other than those of the
Des PLANES street municipal court
where he had just been fined $lOO on
the charge of having caused her delin-
ouency. the kiss probably would have
cost him nothing.
The resounding smack which fol-
lowed the imposition of the fine by
Judge Newcomer, however, caused the
jurist to gasp with anger.
ct won't stand for that" he SAID
"You are fined $25 more for such an
act before this bench.
With Barry was fined Frank Dorsey
IS years old charged with having
caused the delinquency of Marie
Brockhausen, Is years of age, 1906
West Fourteenth place. The four were
arrested in rooming house at ll9
South Morgan street, across the street
from Barry's home.

USE OF SILK

Dresden silk is so much liked now
adays that it is even used to cover the
backs of hair brushes. Hand mirrors
and hair brushes with Dresden silk
backs are beginning to supersede the
silver backed articles on some women's
toilet tables.
Backing brush or a hand mirror
with Dresden silk is really a very sim
pie matter, and anyone with deft fin
gers can manage it. The silk is glued
to the wooden backed brush and gold
braid is glued around the edges. A
comb and brush tray and a powder box
can be covered in the same manner,
and the set makes a dainty present for
a woman. The Dresden silk pincush-
ion is shaped a little like pair of
bellows. The sides are of silk covered
cardboard and the cushioned edge holds
the pins.
