PARI MUTUEL SYSTEM

Wagers on his horse at the last mo-

SUPPOSE that in the pari mutuel ex-
ample above he tries to plunge Ia the
same way. He wants to place $50. 600
OF one horse to win. In ordinary bet
ting he might get that $4,000 down
at favorable odds. But now If he
Tlaces it on his selected horse he Is
making fierce odds against himself. II
the $1,000 already bet is on other
horses he is betting $4,000 against
$1,000 on one horse to win. Take out
of the whole amount the states 5 per
cent, or $1,000, the plunger is ont just
$1,000 if his horse wins the race.
Ridiculous?
Why, of course it's ridiculous. But
foolish as it is this example shows
Just why the pari mutuel betting sys-

TOURNAMENT

From polo news in the Coast pnpers
it would seem that the Hawaii polo
lists were competing in the hnior
championship, now being played at
Coronado. This event is for teams
with IL goals handicap or less, and
Hawaii with II is eligible. However.
the tournament, which is scheduled
March 10th to 14th. oyerlaps the Pa
eific Coast All-America Polo Trophy
event, Marcn 9th to 18th. in which
the islanders were to have played. It
is very unlikely that Hawaii, with one
player crippled. would be in both
these contests, and therefore local
followers Of the game are somewhat
at sea as to just what their repre-
sentatives are doing.
The composition and handicaps OF
the teams now competing at Coronado
have reached here, as follows:

The Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association finds that the num-
Der of medical students in the United
States for the year ending June 80,
1918, was the smallest since 1900. But
with 1905 young people qualifying
themselves for the healing profession
there need be no fear that the coun-
try will run short of doctors. 1t is
suggested that the. decline in the
number of medical students--th there
are 2,771 fewer than In 1911 and Ash
fewer than in 1910, and 11,127 below
1904-ref1ects the rising standards Of
the American schools of medicine.
These standards, in the past, were in
some cases ridiculously low. The out
put of physicians at present Is small

no doubt that while there has been

The Countess Lambsdorff has just

after her wedding Before she was
married she received IS offers of mar
rage at different balls, and afterward
272 men sent her love missives, while
100 more enthusiastic and tempera-
mental gentlemen threatened to shoot
themselves In their despair. The num-
Der of dances which Countess Lambs
dorff takes to her credit Is nothing
short of stupendous. She took part,
she says, in 1894 square dances, 4,50o
waltzes and 500 polkas. She had l.
700 partners of which. she declares,
1900 were stupid, 800 boresome, 100
offensive, % nice and only 3 witty.
The countess estimates that she has
danced over $4,000 miles; as she at
tended 1894 dances, this estimate Ia
modest.
