H0LLYER'S COMMENT
y on the Sport of Kings
Bit of Green.
BY BERT T.. COLLYER

BIT OF Green.
Gather around me boys while I
get load off my chest. The whole
world knows that Col. Bradley.s
horses know the shortest way home
and that they are keyed to concert
pitch right now. What everybody
don't know, however, is lust how
good Bit of Green is. That's what
I'm going to tell you and after l
get through you start running for
Jake's place. The maverick with
ne Irish monicker stepped thusIv
over the "gue" at jefferson the
'ther morning: 25-5O-I.O2 3-5 easec
p. That's good enough to beat
such field as that in the third to-
day by city block. Nur sed
thimble and Mavournecn have the
alance between them.
Tony Sutton is at his best now
and with anything like clear sail
ing, will bring home the bacon in
he days opener. Secretary is all
over the contender and is sure II
preak inside the money. Seaboard
lolds the balance safe. Old Kohinoor
Il
right kale is planted in gUbs and
'othing short of bad ride is goine
to keep "ko" from looking Murphy
in the lamp. Anna Gallop's last
was even better than the dope woul9
indicate, but second will be good
enough for her here. Cobalt Lass
should save the peep" money
Brownie, the daddy of all the clock
ers, shoots me Scurry as his thre,
star special Old Jimmie don't make
many mistakes and 1 guess he knows
something about Clopton's shooting
Rolo just did miss going over IN,
last time out. VIII GO well here,
Youneed has little or no opposition
for the short end of IL. The Wit
is primed and cooked for a killing
and it's in the fifth today where

much better nag than ordinarily

cached. Veto is well liked by the
table connections. The wise bows

has a royal chance TO cop the long
end Of it in the sixth. Has been

be any better than right now

KANSAS LENIENCY RECORDS
Parole of Murdcrers Indicates Conyic-
ton Is Not Serious Matter.

Parole of Murdcrers Indicates Conyic-
ton Is Not Serious Matter.
Murder and other felonies really are
not serious matters in Kansas these
days. A sympathetic state with a
broad and generous Christian spirit
and an idea of reform, brings much
joy to the person convicted of crime.
E. L. Barrier, member of the state
board of administration, has figured
that there is little reason for alarm
when person is sentenced to the state
penitentiary.
Barrier is a member of the state
legislature He will probably have
several important comments to make
on existing laws when the lawmakers
meet in January.
Since June 80, 191S-sixteen months
the state board has sent home six
teen men convicted of first degree
murder. This record showing the re-
lease of one murderer a month is per-
haps the record for leniency by states
of the Union. The percentage of
paroles is also a near record. Barrier
believes. The state doesn't hesitate to
spend her money convicting people of
crime. But once they reach Lansing,
a reformation seems to begin that i'm
presses the prison officials and in turn
is reflected in action by pardon Off
Gals. Barrier has figured that per-
sons convicted of murder now serve
an average of six years, two months
and tWenty-One daVs.

STOP ITCHING SKIN

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or 81 bottle
of Zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
Zerno, the penetrating, satisfying
liquid, is all that is needed, for it

TEN DAYS TO DECIDE CASE
Industrial Court Take Time In Decid-

The Industrial court will take ten
days in which to decide the Ellis tele-
phone case. Complaints from Off
Gals of the company to the effect
that delays in rate increases threat
ened ruin to the corporation. Judge
George W. Wark insists the court can
not be expected to make immediate
decisions.

has just completed a report on the
case. Evidence in the rate application

shortened workday basis, has made Il
impossible to get the same transporta-
ton results with the same number Of
employees as before the war.
The federal bureau of public roads
shows that there were 7~,665,446 motor
vehicles of a. types registered in the
United States during the calendar year
of 1919, an increase of % per cen
over the previous year. License and
registration fees alone last year
amounted to $64.700,0 900, and practi-
cally all this sum was devoted to road
maintenance and construction. The
highway officials estimate that there
are 2,475, 900 miles of highway in the
country. and a simple long division
problem shows that there are three
cars to every mile of highway. Ala
bama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakc-
Ia and Wyoming have n car or less
for every mile and a half of their
roads. But Rhode Island brings up
the average by producing more than
twenty cars to the mile. Massachu-
setss has thirteen and two tenths cars
to the mile and New Jerseys average
is only slightly less. California has
seven and eight-tenths cars to the mile.
While the prices Of s~o-called ne.
cessities' have appreciably increased,
all the official statements on finance
given out at Washington show that
mortgage security prices have gone
down to such a point that the invest
ment opportunities were V better
than now. Good securities bearing
high rates of interest are apparently
interesting people all W the coun-
try, and the era of spending" is Civ
ing way to a period of investment.
The old-time advice to people to in
vest in their local public service in
stitutions seems to be proving inter
esting to many people, and the home
ownership" policy Of owning the en-
terprises that serve the public is TAX
ing root.
