The projects offered brought anoth-

which bid in three of the major pro-
iects offered James G. Heyworth,
who already has three of the largest
road projects ever let to contract
bid in the biggest job offered during
the letting at $3.50 299, a stretch of
road between Monroe and Polkton.--
With the letting of these contracts
and cold weather impending, it is un-
likely that the commission will offef
any major letting in the near future,
but concentrate its major energies
on maintenance and the prosecution
of about thirty million dollars worth
of work now under way in the state,
Paving is now going forward at con-
siderably better than 100 r-iles OF
finished work per month.
In four years more than three
fifths of the state system of roads
has been built, leaving now less than
$500 miles of the 607O miles in the
system to be paved or graveled. More
than 1000 miles OF the unfinished
section was in good condition when
taken over by the counties and the

other horses and times his move to a
second. He is strong tinisher He
doesn't get ratified He comes pretty
near getting the best there Is out of
his mount
Also Sande has nerve. Success and
pride of place make many Jockeys con-
servative about taking chances In a
big and tangled field, A jam has no
terrors for Sande: If there's a chance
10 get through he takes it. He seems
to he equally ut home in a tive-furlong
dash Of tWo-year-olds and in an all
ages handicap over distance of
ground. So ii is that II Sande's mount
belongs in front at the finish it is usu-
ally there or thereabouts.
Sande does more than win on the
best horse; he brings many an in
ferior mount home first by clever
horsemanshlp. Some of his winning
mounts are long Shots there would be
more Of them but for the fact that his
loyal and enthusiastic following al
most invariably backs everything he
rides. Both lawn and grandstand say
the same thing when Sande is up on
a mount of unknown or doubtful
quality:
Don't know what chance the horse
has but I'll sure get ride for my
money"
And that's no small part of the
battle these days on the American
turf The truth is that many lovers
of the thoroughbred and keen critics
of racing declare that horsemanship
is today a lost art. They go so far
as to say that there are only three or
four great jockeys riding in America
today and that the best of the others
are mediocre compared with the rid
ers of twenty years ago.
These experts attribute this medl-
ocrity to our American intensified
specialization of two-year racing
and sprint races at the expense of han
dicaps and stakes over distance of
ground. They say that these scram-
bles over Il short course Lave de-
stroyed all sense of pace and all jud,-
ment in the average jockey. The boys
ride mile and quarter race just
as they do a fivefurlong dash. Their
one idea seems to be to get off as
rapidly as possible and drive the
mount frantically as far as 1t can
stagger.
There is no way of accurately ascer-
tanning Sandes financial reward for
his horsemanship. 1t is large, how
ever. He gets $4,000 year from the
Rancocas stable for first call on his
services and in addition fees for every
horse he rides for it. He also ac-
cepts outside mounts and Is very well
paid There is no telling how much
he receives in gifts from the owners
of winning mounts. For example,
Sinclair is reported to have handed
Sande 5000 after he won the $4,000
1923 Kentucky Derby with Zev.
When Sande gets too heavy to
ride-may that be many seasons
away-he will become trainer and
apply the experience he is gaining
under the veteran Sam Hildreth,
master of the art, whose niece he has
married.

bit. In January of 1918 he went
to New Orleans, with letter to a
horseman, Joe Goodman, who gave
him a job working horses. His first
mount was Liberator. 20-to-1 shot.
Sande finished second A few days
sand he beat Albert Johnson and
l.. Lyke, both leading jockeys.
Sande did well at New Orleans. One
day he rode two winners Marys Beau
and +. c. Cole-hoth at 80 TO 1. At
Hot Springs he had a bad fall on Six
teen TO one. which was seized with
blind staggers. and a crushed foot laid
him up quite while By way of
Kentucky spring meetings he arrived
at Saratoga. There Trainer H. G. Bed
we'll bought his contract and he rode
for Commander J. X. l.. Ross, the sue
cessful Canadian owner. One day at
Havre de Grace in the fall of 1919
Sande rode six winners out of seven
mounts, three of them his employers
horses. In the fall If 1920 he went
to the Rancocas stable, owned by
H. f. Sinclair. the oil man, and
trained by Samuel c. Hldreth.
This stable led the list of winning
owners in 1929, with 63 firsts, A sec
onds, 40 thirds and S229, ,2S5.
Sande has nothing of the spectacu-
lar or theatrical about him, contrast
ing sharply In this respect with such
,lJ I, u S.1.a
and Snapper Garrison He is seri-
Gus, Woodworking young fellow-and
looks the part. He's blond and his
face is distinctly Scandlnavian--he
was born of Norwegian parents He
is slender and slightly under medium
broad. square shoulders and large
hands with short, strong fingers
There is nothing about him to attract
attention in a crowd O. young men of
his age,
Sande can ride this year at 112
pounds. And at that he has his
troubles to avoid taking on weight
He's bigger of frame than most Jock
eys, and riding at 112 pounds means
careful dieting and strenuous road
work, During the racing season he
takes coffee and fruit for breakfast.
Six days a week he has cup of beef
broth for lunch. He dimes on meat
and vegetables.
Past question all experience is val
liable. Anyway, Sande was born and
brought up in horse country and
learned to ride at the age when most
city children are trundling around the
sidewalks on three wheeled bicycles.
Soon thereafter he was riding buck
ing bronchos and racing ponies. In
short. he was pretty much brought up
in the saddle. So he got to know
horses and their ways, and he learned
a lot about horse racing in Arizona
another horse country Probably this
early experience in part accounts for
the fact that horses run well for him
and that his admirers call him "a born
race rider"
But in addition to perfect balance
and the ability to "go with his mount"
Sande has brains and uses them in a
race. He's alert at the barrier. He's
n good judge of pace. He watches the

Ten Counties MIX Safe.

The milk supply of 10 counties IN
North Carolina is now fully protect
ed against the spreading of the great
white plague, tuberculosis. the cows
of these counties all having been
tested, released and passed by OFF,
cials of the state department of agrl-
culture. according to a report made
public by Dr. A. ]. DeFosset, inspeo-
tor in charge OF this work. lnspec-
tions have been completed in three
other counties, he said, and these
will be recommended for release
soon. Fifteen other counties have
made appropriations for carrying on
this work in conjunction with the
agricultural department and North
Carolina State college and inspections
are now going on in nearly all Of
them, he added.
"Our records show Doctor De
Fosset continued, that less than two
per cent of the cattle in North Caro-
lima have tuberculosis at this time.
This is in contrast to some OF the
states in the north, where from Il
TO 40 per cent tuberculous is COM
mon. I could go out in Vermont,
where l was stationed previous to
coming to North Carolina. and find
more cattle infected with tubercu-
losis in one afternoon than we have
found here in a months time.
North Carolina is wise to begin
in time to eradicate this dreaded
disease. The people have shown
wisdom by wanting the work carried
on. They will profit by the exper-
ience of the northern states. Where
we find tuberculosis cattle in North
Carolina we can generally trace it to
importations from some of the worst
infected centers. For that reason
those who buy cattle from other
states should make sure that they
are getting them from accredited
herds. This will safeguard their pur'
chases and also the cattle.

Coolidge Appeals to the People in Be-

Washington.-An appeal to the Am

by President Coolidge.
The American Red Cross wa, aesig-
mated as the organization to which re-
lief contributions should be transmit
ted.
At the same time it was made clear
that such assistance as was within the
means of.the executive branch of the
government would also be rendered.
The text of the appeal follows:
To the people of the United States.
An overwhelming disaster has
overtaken the people of the friendly
nation of Japan. While its extent has
not as yet been officially reported
enough is known to justify the state
ment that the cities of TOXIC and

clearly designated, be sent to the

Immediately after the Presidents
proclamation was made public the
American Red Cross announced that
it had started relief fund with
contribution of 100000. In addition.
it has appropriated from its reserve
funds $4,000 for the assistance OF
Americans in the disaster zone.
