 RACING OF DOGS
Animals Run in Pairs and are Judged for Speed, Strategy, Form Gal
 lantry and Endurance

London. March 15-(Reciprocal News Service 1.-The Waterloo cup, for the Derby in dogdom. has just been won by handsome greyhound named Fighting, Force.
 This will mean nothing to Americans other than stirring the imagination to picture race between dogs It is a lot more than that. and the fastest dog may not win.
 In a coursing match there are only two dogs in each heat-if you exclude Tn every heat. The dogs are led to a. mark and the rabbit released. The rabbit outruns the dogs for certain distance and then begins to scheme ways and means of escape, realizing Il will lose its life on a strai ght run. The competing dogs are. therefore, supposed to practice team work in cap turing the rabbit They are trained for this.
 The dog in the lead undertakes to turn the rabbit that is. to force it to bear in a certain direction. Strategy then requires the other dog to put. on extra steam and fly toward point in the direction in which the rabbit is being turned so as to make a pocket

| stomach. else they wouldn't race, for
 the rabbit wouldn't be much of an att
 traction. and it is to eat the rabbit
 they race. The rabbit is their re-
 ward and the cups and purses go to
 tIeir trainers.
 A dog story is told by a Londoner
 who inherited his love for coursing.
 even as he inherited this story Tt is supposed to have happened in the time of his grandfather
 certain man who trained coursers was called away from his kennels by some relations who had summoned a family conference in a village about eighty miles away. As this meant quite journey in those days the man pre-, pared to be away for three days and en- gagged a neighbor to take care of hx; dogs in the meantime.
 The high fence around the kenl~sIs had supports inside the yard and this friend had only been in the kennels an hour when he stumbled heavily over one of these supports inJurIng his skull in falling. He was carried away to "a hospital where he remained uncon seious Tn the meantime no attention was paid the dogs. The trainer finished his s5sit and returned home the evening or me third day, the stage stopping at a nearby road Junction from which he walked to his house beside the kennels. 1t was warm moist night and he was tired from his Journey. With no thought ex- cept. to get to sleep he quickly undressed, and it was only a persistent sound that came from the kennels that induced him to gn out and see if the dogs were alright.
 It was a strange note of barking that he heard In his night robe and bara feet he stepped out into the sultry night and walked down the short path to the kennels where he unlocked and opened the swing door-and was never heard

JEWISH SCULPTOR CAUSES STIR WITH
 MAN OR SORROWS
London Now Dominated By Towering
 Figure By Jacob Epstein, an American Born


 London, March 5.-fReeiprocal News Service )-"Every man has hsi Christ said Jacob Epstein. the American born Jewish sculptor, now London celeb rity. NThis is my Christ. You can take it or leave it."
 But as you step inside the bare white-walled room where Epstein 8 bronze apparition towers, you do not take it or leave it. That bronze figure rising from its swathed grave clothes, dropping as it ascends it's mouldering flesh, dominates and ennobles the most craven, the most trivial human crea- ture. For once at a popular London exhibition there regns complete si- lence, as crowds of people come and go.
 The feet, planted well apart are square and strong of solid human bone and flesh; the hands are large and strong, the right is raised in stiff archaic gesture and strip of winding sheet drops straight to the floor from the arm The other hand points to the lacerated out-turned palm. The mummy like body, half disclosed, is emaciated. tortured
 But the head held high, with all seeing eyes that yet are visionary and a mouth that tells of anguish and despair, has nothing to do with grave clothes and decay.
 This Christ of Epstein's is not the conquering Christ, not the Redeemer. It is no more triumphant than rotting soldiers on the field of victory are tri umphant. It symbolizes human suffer ing and superhumap will to go forward even to it's doom.
 But in the austere Presence some | thing more inspiring than mere tri- umph bites in and grips the brain, and for the first time since the primitives, an artists conception of Christ stands forth serene and unconquerable.
 It is an intensely modern Christ sat fsfying our every modern demand for brutal reality and ugly truth, but it looks unfrinching toward something beyond truth and realty. beyond suf- fering and despair. This quality ar rests all who look and that is why men and women who know, nothing about the technical merits of Epstein's figure find their way to the shabby little gallery in Liecester Square. Workmen and actors, politicians and rogues and saints. they pass in and pass out and gaze and move away, silent.
 Epstein has a reputation in England for daring conception and fearless exe- cution. At the time his eighteen fig ures were set in the facade of the then new British Medical Association buiId- ing a dozen years ago. there was such

NATIONAL MUSIC ASSN. Elk
TENDS TIME.

The board of directors of the n. A.
n. NJ. voted to extend time of charter
memberships until July, 1920. the time
of the second convention, to be held in
New York City.
For information address the secre-
tary of the National Association of
Negro Musicians, TuSkegee Institute,
Alabama.
The organization tends to promote
fellowship, fraternity. mutual encour-
agement and helpful criticism. Is it
not true that professional jealousy is
the bane of the Negro musician? Here
is an opportunity to come together, to
discuss conditions and the means of
improving them, to pledge everlasting
friendship and good will.
Do you realize what a tremendous
moral weapon the the Negro holds by
virtue of his wonderful music? Negro
music if used as propaganda might
easily become the most potent factor in
smeliorating conditions, softening preju-
dice and creating an understanding be-
tween the races. PROFESSIONALLY II pre-
sents one of the most attractive phases
of Negro temperament

tens of thousands, building on their
own initiative.
Remove the transportation dead
line and you get better house-pIan-
ming, better air and better surround
ings for the upbringing of families
and for the comfort and convenience
OF those whose business is in the
city. The people are able to get bet
ter homes gust IN proportion as the
bread-winners are able to cover the
distance between home and business
twice a day with ease, safety and
speed.
Practically all suburbs OF Chicago
have depended in their earlier DAYS
upon transportation by steam rail
roads. The facilities of steam roads
in upbuilding suburban communities
are limited by their downtown ter
minals and comparatively high fares.
Neither can the steam roads develop
a strictly local service as completely
as conditions require. They cannot,
except in limited degree, do a local
and through transportation bust
ness at the same terminal AS SUI
burbs continue to grow they demand
emancipation from poor transpor;a-
ton facilities As the intervening
spaces between suburbs ill up they
demand a more frequent service, with
more stops, to meet local conditions.
City-owned rapid transit lines arc
the only solution. Instead of injur-
ing the present elevated roads and
surface car lines they will create
larger traffic for both. They will
CREATE new volumes of traffic for
themselves, because the people by
hundreds of thousands will buy or
build homes in the outlying districts.
Every time Governor Lowden's
utilities commission raises car fare it
aggravates the housing problem.
And every struggle by THE city
authorities to keep car fares down
and to improve transportation facil-
tiles is fight for the people that will
win.
For no city of Chicago's size and
spirit will be indefinitely crowded into
a vice. 1t will burst its chains and
the outlying districts will be filled
up with more and better homes
