year will be the largest attended cele-
bratiOn ever held by the Hamilton la
Dor unions. The outings have always
been big factor in the way of reve-
nue. for the central body, and the
affiliated organizations. Through the
arrangement entered into by the CEN
trail body and the Hamilton Jockey
Club, both the races and the Labor
Day celebration will be held on the
fairgrounds that day. The only thing
that stands in the way of the central
body making large amount of cash
on September 5th is HELP The
Labor Day committee is taking this
means to appeal to you as trades
uniOnist, to volunteer your services
on that day. For the past several
years a mere handful Of union men
and women have worked hard to make
the outing a success, and SO far have
never failed, in their efforts. This
year it is going to take more help, and
if you are reading this appeal, will
you please hand in your name as one
who will help this year to make the
outing big success? WILL YOU

GRAFT IN HEALTH OF

New MISUNDERSTANDING" graft
in the city health department has been
revealed by an investigation conduct
ed by former Supreme Court Justice

1t is stated that recent appeals for
$1,000,000 appropriation to the

Kelby found that the greater part of
the money went for salaries and that
there was no occasion for the 'scare." !"
Nearly 200 specific criminal acts by

DOG RACING NOW
grows POPULAR
British Nobility Taking Up
This Sport

London. June IA. ReBritish no.
bility Is sponsoring a new sport
that of dog-racing.
A group OF titled women found a
racing greyhound cheaper to keep
than a racehorse and just as excit-
Ing. so 1t Is now considered chic in
Mayfair and Belgravia to own one.
Society at large. especially the fem
mime contingent. is going in whole
heartedly for the sport, which may
hereafter be described as the sport
OF queens"
Limehouse and Mapping, too,
have taken up electric hare racing,
and 1t is not unusual at the various
racing meets, which are becoming
more and more frequent, to see a
costerwoman's dog pitted against
the slim streak owned by a duchess.
The list Of society greyhound
owners includes the Duchess of
Sutherland. the Duchess of Newcas-
tie. Lady Augusta Fame, Lady Con-
stance Gore, the Baroness Ravens
dale. Lady Phyllis Chichester. the
Hon. Daphne Vivian and Miss Betty
Baldwin. daughter of the Prime
Minister.
Many women find that within the
limits OF their pin money they can
stand the expense OF maintaining a
kennel of racing greyhounds and
train them for electric hare racing.
The sport appeals to women, for
there is plenty of excitement with
