This Texas : bred ia dog
sired by Imported Arcadian II
Ollie Hope tips the scales around
81 pounds and is owned by Lee
Fielder of St. Louis, who is a vet
eran in greyhound racing and
%coursing. Grey Buck won the
1929 Madison Fall Derby at st.
Louis winning by a full length
over his nearest competitor, and
from n of the best fields that
ever met in a Madison classic. His
triumph in the Derby was a fit
ting climax to a season of conSis-
tently clever racing.
Grey Buck in all his races very
rarely finished out Of the money.
He possesses a marvellous burst of
speed and is perhaps one Of the
greatest stretch runners that ever
raced on a greyhound track. As
a general thing Grey Buck is
somewhat tardy in finding his
stride, but once in full motion can
match strides with the best.

son or H-urrah-Patricia Desmond. star of the
William Houzhtcn Kennels. is ore Of the greatest
dogs ever entered On an American track. In 1923
he was in the money 81 times ont Of 36 starts and
in 1929 he has added many laurels 10 his record
eliminating In victory OF the Hawthorne tChi-
cago) Fall Derby. He holds the Hawthorne track
records OF % flat for the quarter, 20 rs for the
futurity and 30 flat for the five-stxteenths.
Cashoo has q style all his own. he appears
TO be looping along with a free moving stride and
apparently does not make an effort to extend him
self. nc seems more like play To Cashoo, and no
doubt 1t IS only that to him. He Is a truly great
greyhound and one that will always occupy a
niche in the hall Of Greyhound Fame.

CHILDBIRTH MORTALITY
INCREASES IN ENGLAND

LONDON CP.-The British govern
ment and British medical science are
baffied by the problem Of mortality In
motherhood.
Social welfare workers In the last two
decades have reduced infant mortality
by one-half, but they have been unable
to reduce the rate of mothers deaths
in childbirths In the slightest.
Indeed the rate Of maternal mortality
in 20 years in Britain has slightly In
creased, and the situation in this vital
concern Is now declared By the minister
Of health to be ''lamentable and ter.
rible'
The government itself has been
spending about $l0.000,0 900 annually for
maternity and child welfare services.
Vast sums have been expended by
voluntary organizations for the same
objects,
