MAD PLAY WINS BELMONT STAKE
Hildreth Entry Firs t Again, Mister Mutt Is
 Second

BELMONT PARK, L. l., June 7.- When Mad Play, in a race packed with thrills, won the $50,O0O Belmont stakes here Saturday, it was the fifth time in eight years that Sam Hildreth had provided winner for the classic.
 Running in a contending position all the way, Mad Play came in with a great rush on the stretch and won hands down. .-.--.--..
 Far back on the stretch came Bud Fishers Mister Mutt, second. B. B. McLean's Modest, after being outrun in the earlier part of the race, moved up slowly in the stretch and took third.
 When the barrier was lifted Beau Butler was off in the lead with Aga Khan in second position and Mad Play running third. At the half, Beau But Ter had been shuffled back. and Mad Plays stablemate, Sheridan, was set ting the pace, with Aga Khan hanging on determinedly and Mad Play still third. At the mile pole, Aga Khan dropped back and Mad Play was chas- ing the pacemaker.
 Coming into the stretch, Sheridan, having made the pace for Mad Play, as was intended, also dropped out of the picture. Mir. Mutt, coming with express-train speed, closed with the leaders and passed Modest, the finish being Mad Play, Mir. Mutt and Modest.
 The time, 2 :1S 4-5, did not approach the track record of IA '1-5.
 The Raneocas stable entry was quoted at 2 to 1, 4 to and 1 to 3.
 A cloudless sky and mid-June weather greeted the record-breaking throng which journeyed to Americas most beautiful race track for the running of the fifty-sixth renewal of the oldest of America's turf features.
 Besides the Belmont, two other stake races-the MeadowbroOk steeplechase, $2,000 added, and the Keene Memorial, $2, 500 added-marked the last Saturday at the Nassau county course.
 While no outstanding stars. were en. tered in any. of the days races, the huge crowd was thrilled to the core by close and exciting finishes.
 A hot morning sun dried out the track, which had been slow, due to rains of the past few days, and at post time for the first event, the going was very good, although not by any means Lightning" fast.

them around, cleaned them, and now

shades will last another year and the
pupils have taken the lesson home;
with the result that many windows
will look better. This is but an ex-
ample of the many practical lessons
demonstrated in this school,
The special classes in housekeeping
and cafeteria operation have taken
advantage of the harvest, and as a re-
suit the shelves are stocked with
pickles, jellies, canned fruits and
vegetables. These will play an i'm
portant part in the cafeteria in the
preparation of many dishes during
the Winter. In addition many out
side orders have been filled. The
students point with pride to their
well stocked pantries.

Series OF Educational articles Telling Ho,U Federal Govern
nlent Is Organized and Ho,0 1t Functions-Writ

BY WILL p. KENNEDY
No. 5-The Job of Congres

ment legislation passed by Delegates
is an expression Of will.
1t was such Representatives-fre
agents, to use their best Judgment
that the Constitution intended. Sure
ly mono is better authority in the use
and definitions of governmental terms
than the men who worked out our
form of Government. which has stood
the test Of time and which is the
best form of government the world
has ever known. The statements of
Hamilton and Madison and of Thomas
Jefferson. grandfather of the Demo-
cratic party-al1 stressed adherence
to this policy.
AS has previously been shown the
Constitution directed that Congress
should make the laws. But not all
of the time of Congress is used for
law-making. The country has grown.
and with that growth the demands
upon the central Government have
multiplied, taking in hundreds of ac-
tivities never dreamed Of when the
Constitution was written.
The job of Congress has changed.
The Individual members are kept
busy running errands in Washington
for the voters in their home districts,
who want something done for them
in the hundreds Of Government Offices,
which are widely scattered.
1t may be that your grandfather
has a pension claim, or youx brother
who fought in the World War has
some business with the Veterans Bu-
reau, or your elder sister is seeking
a civil service position, or your uncle
wants advice on some farm problem
or perhaps your father is a manufac-
turer and wants to know about some
foreign market, or even you yourself
may be ambitious to get an appoint
ment to the United States Military
Academy at West Point or to the Ma
val Academy at Annapolis, or you
may want Uncle Sam to instruct you
how to build a radio set. These and
hundreds of other matters on which
individual citizens in every commu
nifty need advice and help in the Ma
tional Capital come up in the daily
mail Of each Congressman
Then, too, Congressman send out
copies of books and pamphlets and
public documents, which the various
branches Of the Government have
printed to help the people. These
reach into many thousands of copies
each year.
So, the member of Congress has to
visit the departments and has to
write hundreds of letters, all of which
takes time, even with a secretary and
stenographer, who often do much of
this work.
Congress has changed, too, in that
members do not have the time to
prepare themselves to make speeches,
as in the older days. Instead of be
coming known through great
speeches. they must content them
selves with sending circular letters to
their districts to tell what they are
doing for the people at home and to
get their views.

Although Congress is the supreme
law-making body of this great land
of ours. its job is little understood,
and each boy and girl can help make
the Government better by learning
the duties and limitations of Congress
and passing the truth along.
Congress is made up of two
Houses-CD The Senate, which is COM
posed of two members from each
State, and CD the National House of
Representatives. which now has 435
members. apportioned among the sew
eral States in that ratio that the
whole number of persons in each
! State bears to the total population Of
the country. There are also two ter
ritorial Delegates. one each from
Alaska and Hawaii, and three resi-
dent Commissioners, two from the
Philippine Islands and one from Porto
Rico. They have the right to debate
| but not to vote.
One-third of the membership of the
Senate is elected every two years,
| making the term of each Senator six
years. Each Member of the House is
| elected every two years, and the ap-
| portionment of Members to each State
| is based upon a special law, following
| the census taken every 10 years.
Each legislator is required by the
Constitution to take an oath to sup
port the Constitution.
Because all the more than lie, 0,000,
! 600 persons who have equal right to
vote could not come together, we have
! these Representatives elected to leg
| islate for them and to speak for them
| on public questions.
Now here is livery important point
| and one that most people do not un-
| derstand. Each Of the thirteen orig
inal colonies which formed the United
| States, following the example set by
! Virginia in 1919, had such represen-
| tative assemblies whore those elect
| ed by the people had the power to
| levy and collect taxes and to make
| laws.
! So this is a Representative" Gov
F.; ernment. Noted political economists
empasize that a Legislative Repre-
| sentative (such as the States send
| to Washington with voting power) is
a man whose duty it is to devote his
! own knowledge. his own abilities, his
| own judgment, after seeking the
wisest counsel, to the conduct of
public affairs. A Delegate (such as
come to Congress from the Territories
of Alaska and the Philippines) is a
man sent to the Capitol by the ma
| jority of the voters to register their
| will.
! So that in voting for or against a
measure a Representative is a free
| agent, acting as he thinks best on
| each problem, guided by his own
opinion, reached after expert counsel
| in committee hearings and after
legislative debate and subject to no
| compuLsion, while a Delegate is guild
| ed by the opinions of other people
| who have not had the opportunity
| that he has to get at the real facts
| and TO reach a wise and inst con-
| clusion.
The Representative best discharges
his duties by being independent, a
! Delegate by being subservient. Legis-
lation passed by Representatives of
! this sort is an expression of judg-
