A BEAUTIFUL woman is queen
wherever she goes-except at a
into the background of attention. She
is only part Of the atmosphere, just
a touch of color in the picture.
All the romance and sentiment at
the track centers about the race
horses. Women haven't much Of a
chance there. Their personality, their
charms avail them naught when all
the men folks can see or think of
ape their favorite horses. For there
the horse has first place in mans
heart.
Poe said it all. He described be-
yond hope of more exacttude the
men of the turf when he wrote:
Whose laughs are hearty, though his
jests are coarse.
And loves you best of all things-but
his horse.
Women who follow their husbands
TO the races accept this fact.
A very pretty compliment H. X.
Devereux, well-known turf promoter,
paid to his horse, John A. Mckerron,
when he was exhibited on one oc-
casion at the races.
In the midst of the applause that
greeted this famous trotter, Mr..
Devereux stood up in his box, visibly
affected and addressed the grand
stand:
Ladies and gentlemen. man has
three loves in his life-his wife, his
dog and his horse. My dog is dead.
Mv 10
there's my horse"
A sentimental lot. these men who
follow the horses.
CTORIES of prohibition and other
~ wise at the races are told by old
timers Of the turf. Perhaps the one of
most meritcomes from Ted Kline. sport
ing writer. 1t is the revelation of
how the Kentucky Futurity stake was
won in 1904.
Kline saw the race himself. 1t was
October. The kentucky Trottng Horse
breeders Association was out in full
force and enthusiasm. But-let Kline
tell it himself, as he told a group at
the races recently:
Il. was Futurity day-a day that is
the day of days in the calendar OF the
trotting horse lover. Harness horse
fans from all the world were In attend
ance. The earlier races on the pro-
gram attracted little attention, 1t was
the Futurity they had come to see-that
gathering of three-year-old stars, for a
purse close to 100000.
Some twelve greats and near-grea ts
were carded to face the starter, but the

Brittany Sardines.

CARD1NES take their name from
~ Sardinia, but Of the sardines that
come to the United States only a
small percentage come from the wa
ters that surround Sardinia. One OF
the large sardine fishing grounds is
off the northwest coast of France,
and the sardines of Brittany are
famous. Perhaps more Brittany sar-
dimes are eaten in the United States
than any other kind of imported sar-
dimes. Prices paid for Brittany sar-
dimes by French packers are high:
Last season the fishermen obtained
from 800 to 400 francs per 100 kilos,
a kilo Cor kilogram) being approx
mately two and quarter pounds.
This season the packers are paying
the fishermen from 100 to $50 francs
per kilo. The normal price before
the war was 35 to 40 francs per kilo.

Dead Sea Salt.

THE old question Of the origin Of
the extreme saltiness Of the Dead
sea has received a new answer. It
has been shown, after demonstrating
that the soil and rocks can have fur
nished but a fraction Of the quantity
Of salt that has collected in the Dead
sea basin. that the most important
source Of supply Of this salt is at
mospheric transportation by winds
from the Mediterranean. This view. it
is thought, is confirmed by the fact
that the ratio Of chlorine to bromine
in the Dead sea is the same rs in the
Mediterranean.

chivalry" in the grandstands.
The running races are on!
And 1t is at such times between
races that one hears horsemen re-
count among themselves their favor
lite anecdotes concerning races and
race horses. and catches incidental
sidelights of sentiment connected
with the turf.
THEY tell the romance of a Mary
land race horse and a little COL
ored stable boy.
A certain breeder had brought to his
stables a new horse. highly Strung
animar with an excellent record as a
winner of purses. beautiful thing of
which he had high hopes.
But the change from one stable to
another seemed to have affected the
Beauty. She would not eat. She would
not sleep.
Night after night she stood in her
never doing.
She lost weight. And looks.
Stablemen and veterinarians could
do nothing for her They worried
over her, examined her and shook
they. ITS a state of mind"
Oh. yes, horsemen believe that
horses have minds and souls. They
know they have temperaments.
1t looked as if the Beauty was suf-
fering a nervous breakdown.
Her new owner was at a loss to
know what to do about her He
watched her carefully.
One afternoon a slight colored lad
who was evidently wise in the ways
Of the training stables turned up
from nowhere in particular.
The boy sidled up to the owner of
II know what's the matter with dat
Beauty. boss" he remarked with a
wise nod of the head.
"Uh-huh?" The horseman barely
noticed the youngster.
"Yassah. you hire me to look after
her, and she'll be all right, boss" the
boy went on confidently.
II don't have colored boys around
my stables"
IAN right. boss. tn be your hoss'
funeral, not mine. But she's a fine
hoss: and I hate to see her die on
yuh."
Now. what makes you think you
know anything about horse-about
this one in Particular? the horseman
asked. curiously.
NeOdn you min. DOSS. you just
hire me- and you all II see," the lad
pleaded.
Sorry. I just have white boys"
The conversation ended there. Next
day when the owner came around to
have another look at the Beauty. he
came away from the stable more
downcast than erer. And as if by
chance the little colored stranger
blocked his pathway again.
Again the boy urged the man to
hire him to look after and cure the
Beauty. And again the man refused.
The third day the same meeting and
the same request. But this time the
owner Of the horse gave in to the
persistent and persuasive youngster.
Il won't hire you. Can't break a
rule. But If you stay around here
and can do anything for the horse
I'll see that you are paid WELL You're
an arrogant little piece Of nerve.
Well see whether there's anything
back of your talk" the owner agreed
finally, almost in desperation.
"Yessah, boss, yassah. You all III

Coulon Impressed
with Condition
of French Challenger

Manhasset, N Y, June 9-After a
vigorous two-hour workout in the
woods this morning, George Carpen-
tier slowed down and gave only a
light performance for newspapermen
in the afternoon.
The session after lunch consisted
of shadow boxing. bag punching and
calisthenics, and consumed little
more than half an hour. 1t lacked
the speed and dash that has char
acterized most of the challenger's
workouts.
Carpenter tipped the scales at
ia pounds today and is now l IL
pounds heavier than when he started
training.
Manager Deschamps said there
would be no certain days for spar
ring and that Georges would be per-
mitted to do that sort of work only
when it was needed. Jack Goldberg,
the Panaman, who worked with Car
pentier several weeks ago visited the
camp today looking for more work.
He WIS told to come back tomorrow.
Paul Journee, the Sparring partner
whom Georges brought from Paris,
appeared in the gymnasium with a
court plastered brow. Georges cut
him slightly yesterday
Johnny Coulon, former bantam
weight champion, was a visitor at
the camp today. He evinced much
surprise in Carpenters condition.
He looks 100 per cent better than
when l knew him in Franco" he said.

A. T. Leighton, Jr., of Portland with
the suggestion that motorists paste
them on the windshield:
First. At the rise of the handfpo-
liceman stop rapidly.
Second. Do not pass him by or
otherwise disrespect him.
Third. When a passenger of the
foot hove in sight, hootle the horn;
trumpet at him melodiously at first,
but If he still obstacles your passage
tootle him with vigor and express by
word of the mouth the warning Eli!
Hit"
Fourth. Beware the wandering
horse that he shall not take fright as
you pass him by. Do not explode an
exhaust box at him. Go soothingly
by.
Fifth. Give big space to the festive
dog that shall sport in the roadway.
Sixth. Avoid ENHANCEMENT of dog
with your wheel spokes
Seventh So soothingly on the
grease mud. as there turks the skid
demon.
Eighth. Press thes brake of the
foot as you roll around the corner to
save collapse and tie-up.

Kent's Hill-HebrOn Game
to Settle Championship

Kent's Hill Seminary is preparing
itself for a battle royal when the
Crimson and Gray meets the big
Green team from the Oxford hills.
The first time the two outfits came
together the kent's Hill boys came
across with runs and meanwhile
held the Hebronites to good fat
goose egg. The game is the most i'm
portant of the season for if Kent's
Hill wins with the victory would
come the State championship, while
if Hebron wins it will be tie for first
place. Kent's Hill has already trim
med Westbrook Seminary twice and
divided two games with Coburn. AS
Coburn and Hebron do not play it
will therefore give the Kent's Hill
boys the title.
The team is certainly measuring up
to the marks set by their predeces-
sors for since 1916 Kent's Hill has
won two championships and tied for
two others.
Considering what is a stake, every
one is wondering what will happen
when the two teams meet Saturday
afternoon. 1t looks as if it would be
similar to the question of what hap
pens when an irresistible force meets
an unmovable body.

SEEKS
DOPE ON STYLE
OF CARPENTER

Atlantic City, June Slack Demp-
sey displayed his curiosity for the
first time today to learn the fighting
styles of Georges Carpenter.
Dempsey sought this first hand in
formation from a newspaper reporter
and an old time friend who had just
arrived from a weeks stay in Carpen-
tiers camp. He wanted to know if
Carpenter fought from a crouching
position or hit from standing posi-
ton and the position from which he
started the dangerous right hand
punch.
When told that Carpenter fought
from a standing position, Dempsey
asked:
us he hard to hit? If 1 can hit him
can lick him.
Dempsey was told that Carpenter
was a sharp, accurate hitter and was
likely to whip anybody he could
reach with the first punch. The cham
pion, after thinking for a second, re-
marked that he had plenty of speed
himself and was hitting with greater
force than ever.
W OthOul Ills 1HQOOI Sild
this afternoon was no different from
yesterday, although he fought the
heavy sand bag from a crouch. He
worked at top speed for So minutes,
drubbing the punching bag for four
rounds, the heavy bag for four and
two of shadow boxing.
Jack Curley, who is regarded as
Carpenters American representative,
arrived at camp just as Dempsey was
finishing his workout. Curley smil-
ingly announced himself as Spy"
for the Carpenter camp. Dempsey
was steaming with perspiration and
was just pulling on his sweater so
Curley did not have a chance to see
him in action. Curley with a delega-
ton of New York admirers, presented
Dempsey with gold case in which to
carry his Elk membership.
The plan to have Dempsey resume
boxing on Saturday was switched
tonight. He may not put the gloves
on until Sunday. The cut over his
left eye is healing rapidly.

Groh Reinstated,
Must PLAY with Reds

Chicago, June 9--The applicat ion of
Heine Groh, former captain and third
baseman of the Cincinnati baseball
club for reinstatement to the active
list, was granted today by Commits
sioner Lands ION the express condi-
ton. however, that Groh joins the
Cincinnati team Immediately and re-
mains with it throughout the season."
Groh had been placed on the ineligi-
bic list for failure to report to Cincin-
natl on account of salary dispute,
within 10 days after the opening of
the present season. His application
for reinstatement was supported by
the Cincinnati club.
1T is not the intention" the deci-
sion said, of either the club or the
player that Groh shall play with the
Cincinnati team, but after reinstate-
ment he shall be traded to another
team, because Gas stated by the pres
ident of the club the player contends
that his usefulness in Cincinnati is
lost and that he can not do either
himself or the club justice
THE suggestion that the holdout
process may disqualify a player from
giving his best service to a public
that for years has generously sup
ported that player and his team is
an idea that will receive no hospital
ity here. 1t is at war with the A. B.
C.s of craftsmanship and impugns
the integrity of the game itself"
There was no penalty imposed upon
Groh. other than the loss of salary to
date because. Judge Lands stated,
the rule violated was adopted after
the opening of the present season.
This, however. the ruling says, does
not establish a precedent for cases
arising hereafter

of women who claimed to have made
a study of physical culture protesting
against the present system of physical
education for girls as injurious to fu-
ture generations. A small committee
was formed to draw up and circulate
manifesto on the subject.
Several letters favoring the move
ment were read. Sir James Crichton-
Browne. author of books on mental
and nervous diseases wrote: physical
exercise and training are as necessary
to girls as to boys, but these must
have regard to physiological and de-
velopmental considerations. To ig-
more sexual differences is to court dis
