Father Gaze Hin, LeeUay
to Ride His One H0bby

dad was quick to realize this. In
stead of putting his foot down he en-
courages me. He promised that just a.
soon as I got big enough to ride
would have the chance. He has KEPT
his word, and you couldn't drag me
off the old farm with a steam roller.
Mother was a bit opposed TO my
being jockey. She saw evils in the
game and feared that because of my
associations with older riders would
fall into seine of their ways. Sh. even
asked Dad to forbid me to ride In
races.
II had my own ideas about riding
when first started in. I said to my :
self, If you ride thoroughbreds you
must be a thoroughbred yourself
have always followed that motto.
II don't consider myself above riders
who have been in the game for years,
but I just don't associate with them.
After I have ridden a race l look after
MY mount and then I get away from the
bunch as quickly as l can.
Il have ridden many runners and
jumpers. My father has more than
sixty horses now. school all the
jumpers. Have I ever been spilled?
Yes, many times, but that's part of
the game. There is danger in almost
any sport. If there wasn't it wouldn't
be a sport. You have to take chances,
and that's the thrilling part Of it.
"a short time ago l was working a
horse on the track to get her ready for

of blood spurted from her nostrils, and

1T is hard to say which I like bet

there is more action going over the
brushes But you can get plenty of
excitement out of the fats.
Arnold rode Holiday, ms now off
cially calls Cyclone" in race at
Byberry Fair. He was pitted against
veteran jockeys. 1t had rained for
three hours before the race and the
track was deep in mud. When the
barrier was sprung Cyclone and his
youthful jockey were away like a shot.
For time it looked as though the kid
was going to keep on with the spec
tacular work started in 1921. But Cy-
clone, as the boy explained later, is not |
A mud horse. He finished fourth. How |
ever. that made no difference. Arnold ,
Blythe got an ovation second to none. |

This sums up Arnold Blythe, M
teen years old, Of Willow Grove.
Arnold has been racing runners and
Jumpers since he was eleven. A
horse is his hobby
Temperamental, yet modest in the
extreme, is this blue-eyed prodigy
Of the turf. Ever on the alert to
detect an opponents weakness in a
race, sportsmanlike and game to the
core, he has made friends by the
thousands and made admirers Of
his challengers. ~.
William Blythe, the father, is a
horseman and also superintendent
Of the Carson Simpson Methodist
Home at Willow Grove. He smiles,
involuntarily, when he mentions the
combination, but looks you square in
the eye and tells you he Is not
ashamed Of his fondness for the
turf.
Arnold has inherited his dads
traits. He first displayed intelligent
interest in horses when he was five
years old. Instead Of romping with
other children, he spent his time
about the stables watching his
father get his mQunts in condition
for the steeplechase and the "fiats."

Took His First Mount
When Only Sis Years Old

At the age Of six he was riding,
and he has been at it ever since.
Winter before last Arnold's
father took hiIl to a horse bazaar in
West Philadelphia. Here, scrawny-
nscked steeds with ring bones, bog
spavins and wind puffs were led out,
cus by one, upon the auction block
and sold to the highest bidders.
Arnold viewed the proceedings with
no particular interest until bay
horse was brought from it's stall.
Dad, I like the looks Of that
horse; buy him, will you?"
"That horse? Why, wouldn't

Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as effec-

No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with a dark brown taste, "

disposition or pimply face.
Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.

CAPS AND GOWNS OR
PUSSY CLOTHES FOR
H. S. COM INFRINGEMENT?

The members of the graduating
class of the high school are not
suffering these days from a lack
OF interest in life now that the an
nual question of "Shall we or
shall we not wear caps and gowns
this year," is up for discussion.
They held a spirited meeting
Thursday after school but post
poned action until next week.
Meantime, they are enjoying to the
full their parliamentary privileges
as American citizens, debating
each other with a fervor and q zest
unknown in the class room.
The arguments of those who ia
vor the cap and gown, gray or
white in color, to distinguish t
from the black of the colleges, are
first that their use lends a dignity
and formality to graduation not
inherent in other school functions.
that more and more high schools
all over the country are adopting
the custom, and that the minor
cost Of renting the outfit is very
real factor i'm reducing the en-
penscs Of graduation. They can be
procured from a costumng house
for the week for two or three dol
lars.
Those opposed to the plan insist
that commencement is an occasion
long looked forward to, painfully
so by some. as a gala occasion
when the girls shall look their
prettiest in dainty frocks and the
boys their handsomest in formal
black, and that to sacrifice the
fond hopes of their young lives to
40 abstract theory is asking too
much OF sweet sixteen.

love with each other at first sight.
Maria was dancing a tarantella at
a festival, John Emerson and his
wife, Anita Loos, were also pres
lent in search of screen material and
they noted the festival as material
for good scene in their new play.
Then the PARA family fastened
TO South America where papa PARA
had business and thence to New
York. Gonzales, who had wished
for a speedy marriage in Spain, was
crushed He FASTENED to South
America to plead his cause, but ar
rived too late, and then ne shipped
to New York as a stoker, only to
lind that he had to literally hunt
the streets of that city to find his
beloved.
Then RED Hot Romance" was
released and Juan, presumably
after a hard days hunt for Maria,
Sauntered into a picture theater
The little dancing scene was flashed
on the screen and Juan went red

than hear her blame him for what
he could not do for her, he would
have worked all night doing the
work that naturally belonged to
her. over and over he had declared
he could go on as he was no longer
that she must share the burdens of
life with him. But he made this
declaration to himself. Back in his
mind lurked a fear that should he
become too narsn with her, too in
sistent that she help him. she might
leave him.
Never had he put this dread into
words. But often as she discussed
some bit about domestic troubles
