CLEMENCEAU TAKES
CURE OF SILENCE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Sept. 26-Former Premier
Clemenceau took his recent silence
cure" in a medieval castle perched
1900 feet above the blue waters of
the Mediterranean at Olivese, on the
island of Corsica.
Nicholas Pietri, the owner Of the
castle, has been a lifelong friend and
newspaper associate of Clemenceau.
Pietri is as deaf as the proverbial post.
81 have travelled a lot since the
armistice," the former premier is re
ported to have said, 'but in India
Egypt, the Soudan, everywhere l have
been, | have had to talk too much
Now what ! want is silence. / am
sure to get that with Pietri He is sc
deaf that | won't be tempted to vol
unteer any small talk to him and he
is very tactful in not asking questions
realizing that the effort required fol
me to answer him is too much for my
old lungs"
Despite Clemenceau's plea of weak
ness and his age-S1 years-he looks
as sturdy as the oaks surrounding the
castle.
There are those who insist that the
Tiger intends to re-enter the politica
arena and that in the peace and quiet
ness of the little island which gave
birth to Napoleon, he has been pre-
pairing for a reentry into public life
that may be almost as startling a.
that of the little corporal.

Horse Shows in England
Need Central Association
Loose Methods in Manage
ment Mar Many Exhibitions.

Horse shows in England are being
marred by practices which seem to in
dicate the need of n central governing
body like the Association of American
Horse Shows in this country. A con-
tributor to the London Livc Stock Jour
nal who Is evidently an official of the
show ring, says that some of the shows
are accepting entries without other par
ticulars than the name of the exhibitor,
the name and description of his horse
being omitted. which of course is to all
intents and purposes a post entry. But
that Is not the worst phase OF the prac-
tice. Unscrupulous owners take advan-
tage OF the lack OF particulars TO sub
stitute one hor-. ior another and occa-
sionally pu1 <s,cr an old campaigner in a
novice cAess. according to Yorkshire
man." who says "the time has come
when something must be DONE"
Loose methods of management and
sharp practices on the part of unspcrts-
manlike exhibitors have cropped out oc-
casionaily at American shows In the last
two years, but the central organization
has brought up most of the offenders
with a sharp turn which Is having n
wholesome effect on the rest. Tho
scramble for entries Is regarded as the
root OF the evils here and in England.
There are so many shows nowadays and
so few horses TO I'LL the classes, that a
good many managers are ready to over
look almost anything in order to get the
entries. Owners and stable managers
are not asleep to these conditions, and
some of those who do not know the
meaning of the term workmanship do
not hesitate to make the most of the
situation. Without the A. 4. ii. s.,
which solicits no entries and has no ak
TO grind in dealing with individual ex-
hibitors or exhibitions. the lack of au-
thority prevailing in England might be
felt here.

One Of the most unusual tributes ever

terrier Champion All Fire Supreme re.

hibition only at the clubs show A big
delegation of the club members, headed
by n band, met Supreme and his handler
Thomas Lynch, when they arrived IN
Philadelphia and escorted them in
twenty motors to the West Philadelphia
club. Mr.. Lynch was overwhelmed with
the reception and with the award of a
special gold medal to Supreme in recog-
milton of his great show ring career.
At the club Supreme. which is owned by
Commodore Eddy. was placed on eX-
hibltion with two other champions, High

Built Like = Wedge.

Mr.. Markey's measurements OF Peter
Manning show that he Is built more like
wedge than any OF the other 2 min
ute trotters. His width across the hips,
from point to point. is "a inches, while
from point to point of the shoulders
he measures only lax inches. Com
pared with Uhlan there is quite con-
trast, the black horse measuring two
inches less across the hips and an inch
and three-quarters more across the
breast. The great Peter is likewise
better muscled than any of his rivals
in the 2 100 list when II comes TO cir
cumference or girth OF forearm. Here
he measures IL inches, to 20ta for
Uhlan and II for Lee Axworthy and
Arion Guy. In girth around the heart
Uhlan leads with a measurement OF
69% inches, as compared with 90 for
Peter Manning. 67N for tho 10 hand
Lee Axworthy and 65 for the three-year-
old Arion Guy.
In analyzIng the action OF the new
champion Mr.. Markey says he strides
20 feet inches at full flight. and his
shoe prints show that he often slides
more than four inches after his hind
feet strike the ground and before they
