without greatly extending the space oc-
cupied by the pedigree charts. These
present the female lines of descent from
each of the great mares to her distin-
guished performing progeny Of later
generations in way that enables the
student 70 get a glimpse OF the achieve
ments OF the whole family. Many OF the
charts are bound TO open the eyes OF
race horse breeders all over the world
as TO the merits of female lines not
heretofore widely known or fully APP
preciated. Supplements are TO be is
sued every other year. bringing the sta
tistics OF international racing and breed
ing up to date.
While German horsemen have been
compiling and writing all these inn
portant works concerning the English
race horse il is difficult TO recall a
single volume OF similar character that
has come from a British or American
author during the same period. English
writers have given 10 the horse world
many valuable and interesting turf his
tories and sketchy pen pictures OF men
and events. but the first scientific work
that can be classed with those of the
Germans has yet TO come from the press.
In this country Frank Forester's
Horse OF America" written more than
sixty years ago. and by native OF
England at that, still remains the best
and almost the only book OF Importance
on the subject Of breeding the race
horse. Some thirty years ago J. O.
Bonner and another horseman compiled
and published under the title Modern
TedgreeH" the records In tabulated form
OF the breeding OF the great race horses
and sires, showing the descent In the
male line OF the more important horses
Of the day IN England, America. France
and Australia. The charts met with
little appreciation and copies OF the
| work are now extremely rare.

When Peter the Brewer won the
thirty-seventh renewal OF the 10000
Charter Oak Purse at Hartford's Grand
Circuit meeting Walter r. Cox pro-
claimed him "the best stake horse

that the tall New Englander considered
him a better trotter than either Car
worthy. :03h or Bill Sharen, e:o4i.
He stepped by Czarworthy and Bill
Sharen in the stretch and did not seem
all out in doing It," Cox said. adding
Il could have bought him for $4,000 at
Columbus and should have taken him.
He may not be as well bred as some ol
the other Peter the Greats but he is
a sure-fire race horse" Czarworthy
proved to be too fast for him however

Almost All Noted Books on
British Racing Records
Written by Them.
F. S. BEcKER's WORK
Has Charted Successful Male
and Female Lines Of Breed in
Two Important Volumes.
BY GURNEY G. CUE.

Publication of Friedrich Becker's
successful Female Lines in the
Breeding of the Thoroughbred Horse
draws attention to the curious and in
reresting circumstance that almost ALI
of the valuable and important books
on the genealogy of the English race
horse have been the work of German
students OF heredity and horse rae
ing. Mr.. Becker is perhaps the fore
most living authority on the subjects
about which he writes. He is widely
known among American horsemen,
and before the world war was promi-
nent in England where he wrote over
the pen name "Boulanger" and pub
iished his first book. entitled Charts
OF the Successful Sire Lines"
The pioneer among German contrib
utors to the theory and practice OF
breeding the race horse was ]. r.
Frentzel. a Janker from East Prussia
who devoted four years to the compila-
tion of Stud Book of the Royal Prus-
sian Stud OF Trakehnen" before the mid
ole of the nineteenth century. This work,
which covered a period OF one hundred
and fifty years. embraced not only the
pcdigrees but the most exact and COM
plete information about the history. per-
formances and produce of each foal born
IN the stud, led him TO construct family
tables for the thoroughbred mares OF
the Government stud which were pub
lished In 1864 and in which each mare
then in the stud was traced back TO the
foundation mare OF the family from
which she was descended.

had been employed in the propagation
OF the race horse.

OPENS WAR
On FlAPPERs

The University High School at
Columbia is crusading for simplicity
in dress. The faculty constitutes the
crusaders and the students those
crusaded against. Drastic measures
were adopted Tuesday, after talk
made by Miss Ruth Fitzgerald, one of
the instructors, in assembly. There
are three points of attack: The elab-
crate coiffure, the elaborate complex
ion, and the elaborate costume.
Girls were detained, one at time,
after class and told, specifically, what
was wrong with their attire. They
were then advised that it would be
expedient for them to make certain
changes, to take effect not later than
the next day. Changes which could
be made during school hours were
effected then and there. One student
washed her face twice and even had
to apply soap and water a third time
before her complexion could be re-
duced to the desired state.
