YOUNG BOYS EXPERT JOCKEYS
Monaghan Youths at Home in the
Saddle at an AstonishingIy
Tender Age.

II a daring traveller braves the dam
gers OF a trip into Mongolia he is fas-
cinated by the natives at the time of
their summer festivals. Then every
Monaghan family puts on its best bibS
and fuckers and goes to the fair,
much in the same way the people in
our own country sections go to the
county fair However, at the Mon
gOlian county fair one does not hit
the baby" and get a five-cent cigar, or
throw rings at canes to obtain prize,
but one does see horse races.
Instead of sitting In a grand stand
and watching the entire race, as you
do here. you see only the start or fin
ish. For the races in Mongolia are
80 miles long
The MOngOlians are great hOrSemen,
and learn to ride at very early age.
Their lives are spent with and on
horses. The women ride as well as
the men, and by the time a boy has
reached the age of ten he is an expert
hOrseman. In fact, the jockeys are
ten-year-Old boys.
These little fellows are mounted
on the very fast MOngOlian ponies,
without saddles. Their only trappings
are a bride, = whip and q handlzer-
chief
They start on their wild ride over
the steppes with the courage and
spirit of men, whipping their horses
iercely, but often reaching over kindly
to wipe the dust from the eyes and
nOstrils of their ponies.

GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN HERO
Memory of Simon Bolivar Worthily
Honored by the Nations He
Served So Well.

Simon Bolivar lived during that
period in the history of mankind when
political revolution was the order of
the day He was born in Caracas,
Venezuela, July p, 1888. The Ameri-
can War OF independence had just
then come to an end, and while visit
ing Paris Bolivar had an opportunity
To witness the closing scenes of the
French Revolution. BY this time the
Spanish colonies in South America
were beginning to make their various
struggles for political independence,
and when Bolivar returned TO his ma
tive land he soon found himself allied
with the agitatOrS who were Strug-
Cling to free their country from the
domination Of Spain. He rapidly rose
to Il position of great prominence, both
rs a statesman and Il soldier, and he
was again and again appointed as die
tatOr until such time as political indie
pendence would be assured. He
achieved the political independence of
three states: Colombia lin 1919,
composed of Colombia, Venezuela and
Ecuador (from which the last two
withdrew in 1S3O) Peru 1S24) and
Bolivia, named after Bolivar (1S25).
When he died, December II, 1880, he
did not have any public money i'll his
possession, although he had had com
plete control of the treasures of these
republics.

The danodn is supposed to be the
emblem of unrequited love; probably
because of its premature appearance
in the early days Of March, bringing
hopes of summer days not to be
realized. It is thus typical of fleeing
happiness and deceitful hopes. This
beautiful flower is also known as the
'Lent lily" and in DevOnshire, where
IT grows wild in profusion, it is known
as the "daffadOwndilly."

SOVIET BARK SEEKS RELATIONS
 WITH U s. BANKS
(BY GEORGES .POPPOF)

Riga, Jan. s. - In the nine weeks that the new Russian state bank has been in existence it has paid checks for more than 1885, 5,00O,000,000 rou- bles, according to M. Scheinman di- rector who passed through Riga today en route from Moscow to Berlin. He deplored that the bank had not rela- tfonS with any financial institu- ton in the United States.
 M. Scheiman spoke first of the new Soviet policy and how it had led to the reopening of the Russian state bank which had been abruptly closed three years. ago.
 ''The bank was reopened the mid- d1e of last November" said the di- rector. Its aim is to assist the state. commerce and the cooperative so- cieties as well as private organiza- tions but principally it is to assist state owned industries. It is realized, however, that private initiative can not be neglected.
 During the time since 1t got its business fully going the bank has credited various organizations with l. 0O,OOO,000,0 900 roubles (Soviet money. not the gold roubles of the old inl- perial regime.)
 The Soviet is satisfied with condi- tions. The demand for credit in Rus sia has proved comparatively small, however, we have a number of private accounts but they are unimportant. There are indications they will in crease"

 Secretary of Commerce Hoover Is planning 8 conference of architects, contracts and building material manufacturers and dealers to devise a plan for simplifying the varieties of materials which go into building construction. according to E. w. Me Culough, of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, who ad- dressed the convention. He secured a list of all contractors attending which he will turn over to Secretary Hoover as the chambers recom- mendationS for delegates to the pro- posed conference.
 The saving that is possible through eliminating endless varieties in building materials is beyond compu- tation, MT. Mccullough declared.
 So many kinds of wood trim and window, for instance, are specified by architects that manufacturers can only make them to order" he con- tinued. They are little more than job shops. That is what keeps the cost of the stuff so high.''
