Especial Correspondence

San Francisco, July 2.-Ella Privett
the l5-year-old cowgirl, didn't win the
ten-mileN relay race at the Worlds
Fair here recently, but she was the
sensation Of that stirring event, which
drew thousands of spectators. Tom
Mellerick, Sonons county rider, who
had been working out for the race Tor
a week or more, won the event ham
dily, with nearly a mile TO spare, but
little Ella Privett dashed under the
wires second. The 10 miles we're run
eff in 32:l0-unusual time when it Is
understood that the riders changed
mounts every half mile. Each Of the
five riders used five horses in the
course of the race, each horse running
half-mile relays. - ~ .
No event of like character has at
tracted such a crowd since the auto
mobile races of the first weeks of the
season. The match WAS Tor q purse
of $1,000. divided. between the first,
second and third in the contest.
Especial interest attached to the
work of Ella Privett, who is . daugh-
ter of the famous "Booger Red" the
Texas cowboy known from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. She was raised in
the saddle" yet even the cowboys who
have known her since she was . baby
had their doubts about her being able
to ride ten miles at breakneck speed.
Not only did she cover the distance,
but by skillful handling Of her mount
saved herself from q serious accident

SHE JUMPED A FENCE, COT SECOND

during the running of the seventh
mile.
She had just changed horses, after
finishing the sixth mile, and was at
the seven-eighths pole, when her
mount suddenly swerved and made for
the outer rail, crashed through the
fence and hurdled the second fence.
Little Miss Privett stuck to the sad
die, jumped her horse back over the
fence, rode through the broken rail
and resumed the race, lashing her
mount into great burst of speed.
The little rider was almost exhaust
Cd ct the end of the race, but rode 1
strong finish, beating Hank Linton out
for second place by a couple of
lengths. She dashed under the wire
and pulled up her mount, then toppled
from the saddle in dead faint. Thou
sands believed she was hurt, but it was
merely exhaustion.

(By Gertrude M. Price,

Los Angeles, July 2.-And now
comes the City of the Angels with a
brand new sort Of club. 1t is the
Prize Babies Mothers Club" and has
membership of about 500 to start
with.
The originator of the plan, who will
probably be the first president, is Mrs
E. j. Bonner of Pasadena, whose IT,
months-old son, Robert Bonner, was
awarded a silver cup at the recent
Eugenic Congress for Better Babies
held here. The sturdy little chap was
accorded standard of 100 per cent
perfect at the congress.
The origin of the unique new club
is interesting and might suggest
similar organization to other mothers
in other cities who are anxious to for
ward the better babies" movement.
Some days after the Eugenic Con-
gress, at which thousands of babies
were exhibited and examined, Mrs.
Bonner conceived the idea of inviting
mothers whose babies scored SO per
cent or better to come to her home
for a chat about baby lore and baby
raising.
Each mother contributed the rules
and views CLEANED from her own ex
perience which she considered as i'm
portant factors in bringing her child
into the blue ribbon class.
The interchange proved so delight
full and helpful that another meeting
was planned for the following week.
And so now Mr.. Bonner has decided
that there should be permanent club
for these "swappings" of baby yarns.
"Being the mother of 100 per cent
baby is lots of glory" declares Mrs.
Bonner. 81 hope the Prize Babies
Mothers Club will be the means,
eventually, of making it possible for
many more mothers to know the pleas
ure and problems of handling husky,
healthy, fun-loving 100-per-center'
like nine"

of the fierest fighting since the war

an experience which occurred while he
and another comrade were carrying a
wounded man to the rear. A shell
burst IN front OF them, tearing the
other litter bearer and the wounded
man in pieces. Father Faure was
knocked down and buried with dirt
but was unirjUred. Other experiences
