WEALTHY JOCKEYS.
Big Fortunes Left by Well-known
Riders of Race Horses.

The fortune of f74, 900 left by Tommy
Loates, who died suddenly last year, is
one of the largest left by jockey, and
in recent years has only been exceeded
in the case of the late John Hammond,
who left property valued at 1922, 600
The renowned Fred Archer, in spite of
his enormous success on the turf, left
less than Tommy Loates, namely, $685.
662. While he earned lot of money,
however, Archer also spent freely, not
so much on his own requirements as on
those of other people, for he was one of
the most generous of men, and gave
away freely to the needy. He was a
widower when he died with one child, a
daughter, who inherited the whole of

Refere n d m Against Auto.

London, March 10.-An interesting
example of the referendum in working
has been afforded in the canton of
Grisons, Switzerland. For eleven years
automobiles had been prohibited, when
last May the authorities made an ex-
ception in favor of the road between
Coire and Landquart on the frontier of
the Canton of St. Gall.
Nearly seven thousand inhabitants of
the villages on this road then signed a
petition for putting the referendum into
action on the question of absolute prohi-
bition of motor cars. This referendum
has now taken place, with the result
that of $4,000 electors 10,648 voted for
absolute prohibition and 1878 against
Motor cars are accordingly banned
throughout the canton without excep-
ton. New York Tribune.

A GENUINE INFANT INDUS
TRY.
Necessity of Providing Means for
Savinq the Lives of Babies.

There are born every year in this
country over 100000 children-boys
and girls who will constitute the future
citizenship of the nation. The value of
this "crop" as compared with the cereal
and meat products of the country can
not be estimated; but in view of its eff
feet upon the future destiny of the ma
ton, it is certainly entitled to as much
consideration, to say the least, as the
wheat, corn, and cattle crops.
To illustrate this phase of the question
suppose that the census report for 1910
shows that the wheat crop of Iowa has
decreased % per cent in production as
compared with 1900, or that the produc-
ton of cattle in Nebraska has fallen off
80 per cent in the same time. 1t would
be the duty of the Department of Agri-
culture to take cognizance of this fact,
and experts of the department would at
once be sent out to investigate and re-
port upon the causes of this decrease,
and if the causes could be ascertained
and remedy suggested, bulletins would
be published and freely circulated among

Official and social Washington and
fanciers of thoroughbred horses con-
nected with the riding club of Washing
ton and the Washington Riding and
Driving Association, are looking for
ward with interest to the military horse
show that opens at the Fort Myer mill
tary reservation tomorrow afternoon.
The show will be under the auspices of
the officers of the various military posts
adjacent to Washington, and is intended
to be the initial show of regular an
nual event to be given at Fort Myer.
With proptious weather the attend
ance from the official and social circles
of Washington will be large.
The unusual feature of the show is
that all the entries, horses.and riders,
are from regular army organizations,
every animal entered being trained to
some special service useful in army
field work. This military horse show
has been planned for several months.
When the orders went out from the
War Department sending troops to the
Mexican border maneuvers, it was
feared the show would have to be
abandoned. However, the movement
of troops from this section will in no
way interfere with the show, as none
of the cavalry horses have left the
posts, and the finest horses in the army
service, with expert riders, will be
seen at their best.
CLASSES OF ENTRIES.
There are eight classes of entries, as
follows: Class /, remounts; judges,

Camel's Hump.

1.-The problem of Mrs. Trees WILL
which prescribed that the new-fan-
gled name of Elmerton, which the
villagers liked, should be changed back
to the plain and original Quahaug, is
reversed in the offer of the Hon.
Joseph Battell to make State park of
1000 areas of first-growth forest, in
Guiding the Cancels Hump, one OF
the loftiest and most beautiful peaks
of the Green Mountains. Mr.. Battell's
offer stipulates that more euphonius
name be found for the peak. But to
the natives the name is as beautiful and
imposing as the mountain. They pro-
test. The snow-clad Hump in winter
appears lovely to them. But it is not
after all the name which its discoverer,
Champlain, gave it in 1909; he called it
the Lion Couchant. The late DR..

the resemblance of its contour to q
