By JOSEPH p. AMIN,


The crack high jump rider of the coun-
try precariously perched on his stomach
between the ears of a sixteen hand hunt
or, some seven feet In the air, was but
one Of the thrills offered spectators yes
terday at the third session of the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show.
Dick Donnelly, who hung up the high
jump record on Heatherbloom last sea-
son, had taken Blue Ridge, a high headed
bay gelding belonging to the Ayrshire
Farms. over three jumps in the handicap
class for jumpers when he came to the
five-foot post and rail jump, an innova-
tion for Washington shows.
Blue Ridge Gas Goes Down.
Blue Ridge hit the obstacle with his
knee and went down on his nose. Dom
nelly slid astride down his neck until he
struck his mounts head, and there he
stuck, head. arms and legs waving fran
tically, while Blue Ridge regained his
feet and tossed his head. unable for at
least fifteen minutes to clear himself of
the unaccustomed incumbrance. Donnelly
finally fell unhurt, to the tan bark while
the grandstand roared in amusement.
Earlier in the day, John Buchanan on
Town Topics entered the ring to take
the jumps for novice hunters. Town
Topics insisted on returning Immediately
trary Notwithstanding. A compromise
finally was reached when Town Topics
tried to jump the fence from a stand,
Buchanan proceeding hcadforemost into
the paddock. while his mount straddled
the fence fore and aft"
Ralph Coffin also came cropper at the
post and rail jump, horse and rider hit
ting the ground heavily, but without seri-
Gus injury to either. Coffin received a

class.

HOW TO GET RECRUITS

To the Editor Of Evening Ledger:
Sir-With all the talk about preparedness
and Amaricanism, 1t appears to me that the
recruiting authorities are forced to use
rather stringent methods to secure men for
our army and navy. With America today
standing as the foremost country of the
world while all the great nations of Europe
are at war striving for supremacy and incl
dentally showing us our greatest weakness,
we find 1t necessary TO resort to elusive ad-
vertisements, alluring pictures and fasci-
mating literature to secure men to fill the
ranks OF our army and navy.
Is II because we are losing the greatest
Inheritance of our forefathers that soul
inspiring spirit Of patriotism, upon which
our country was founded and which brought
us through the dark days and trying hours
or is II because the advantages and oppor-
tunities offered to the enlisted men are not
suggestive OF promising future?
Whatever the cause. the self-evident fact
that we are below the standard Is the pre-
dominating force which should inspire us to
action should say put a future in front
of the enlisted man, give him social advan-
tages and educational opportunities of such
a nature as to promote refinement and pro-
gressiveness and tho problem of enlisting
would be on a fair way to success and will
make unnecessary such drastic methods to
secure recruits as are now being used and
will no doubt exercise an influence over the
people by helping them to realize the duty
they owe their country, II only a wholesome
interest in their army and navy.

IN DEFENSE OF TIPPING

1t has been claimed that the statesmen
are robbed by railway conductors and in

that by saving that the tips they distribute

You are never asked for tips by any one.
Your own common sense tells you that a
