Five years ago, when Ruth was a
sophomore In high school, she decided
she did not want to take care OF children
any more. She couldn't do Office work
SO when some one was needed to help
with the busting at high school she vol
unteered.
busting was not all. She swept and
scrubbed floors, she washed windows
and doors, tended furnaces and fixed
motors and scraped boilers and tubes
In fact, she did everything that the

knee suffered in fall when his rider
became careless from fatigue on the
fifth and last day of the 300-mile march.
Overturned for the 1920 endurance
test, he finished in seventh place.
1t was his performance in the 1921
test that led one Of the Judges to rank
him with Justin Morgan, the great horse
