Horseman How to Build
Fortune,

How would YOU like the Job OF
teaching a millionaire how to earn
more money? That's the position
Pop Geers, dean Of grand circuit
riders. has.
Pop has managed the big racing
stable of Frank G. Jones, Memphis
horseman, for over ten years. In
the last few years Jones himself has
been behind the big money winners
when Geers' tutoring sent them under
the wire ahead of the field, but Pop
Geers really is the man behind the
gun. He has taught Jones how to
drive many of the big winners, and
is teaching him how to drive the
Corners"
The two work together in the train
ing season. The grooms lead out
two horses at a time. Pop says
(which do you want, Frank?" Jones
takes his choice. They climb in and
work while around the judges

And then Pop generally finishes in
front in the two or three fast heats

The other dav. when Don Dens-
more and Joe Patchen II, the stars
of the string, we're led out, Jones
picked the Patchen horse. Pop
climbed in behind Don Densmore. II
was a lively brush for the lead. but
Pops horse nosed the champion out
each time.
Pop could be heard giving Jones
pointers on the way round. His own
expert driving of his mount helps to
steady the other in case of a break
The partnership gives them both

friendly competition and see what
is in them without showing their

HOW TEACHERS MAKE A
LIVING.

Though teaching may not be a
SWeated industry. a nationwide inves-
tigatiOn has shown that the increased
cost of living and the tendency of
teachers salaries to remain stationary
compel many teachers to seek sup
Elementary employment in order to
make both ends meet. In some cases
1t was found that janitors receive
more than teachers. One woman
teacher wroe that her brother, a plas-
terer. receives Sc and she 50 a day.
In Atlanta it is reported thai the
salary Of an elevator boy at the city
hall exceeds an established wage for
one of the grades by nearly $1O0 q
year.
