thoroughbreds as Three Kings,
Crap Shooter, Tobacco Juice,
Scotch and Soda and Crab Feet
all appearing in one race last
year when the druggists were
entertained.
The patrons of the sport Of
kings visited the paddock and
formed their likes and dislike
for this hoss or that. The fact
that Scotch and Soda was a big
sorrel mule and that Crap
Shooter had been borrowed for
the moment from the plowman'S
reins, possibly coming somewhat
in the nature of a surprise to
the amazed spectators.
Then in another race in
which the druggists Of Wash
ington and Baltimore were
better judges of the likely win
ner. were animals named after
such household StandbyS as
Moth Balls, Lydia Pinkham,
Castor Oil, Cocaine. Aspirin and
Hexylresorcinol. For instance,
the program shows that AS
pirin was trained by Bayer
and the jockey wore a white
screw cap. It also proved that
Hexylresorcinol was trained by
a mystery man named ST 81"
and that Cocaine was bred by
Dopey, to be ridden by a boy
called Hopp.
And so with whippetS. The
golf course, nine-hole regula-
ton affair, has been construct
ed by an architect who apparent
ly knows his traps and hazards
as well as his bunkerS and
you've got to be good to do it
in under SO.
Mine Host Hendler, needless
to say, has what We have all
heard the little children wish
for-all the ice cream in the
world. You can't drop into
hardly an emporium in Balti-
more but what you eat some of
the famous Hendler product
and before you can say Jack
Robinson, Hendler is going to
make it just as easy for Wash
ingtonians to get Hendler's
Ice Cream, as it now is for Bal
timoreanS.
Yes sir, If ever you get an
invitation to HarleQuin-on

what it requires to forget dull
care, that you will find Harle-
quin equipped with. The NUM-

Meanwhile the good CheSa-
peake has been secured for the
largest and the fattest crabs.
which feast will be preceded by
two wrestling matches between
contestants from the National
Capital and Monumental City.
There will be lots of unlax-
ing!
The Washington times., 1930-08-13

Doctors and scientists have
been telling the tired business
men that if they would learn
to relax, or as Amos n Andy
say, "unlax" they would live
half as long again.
We never think Of a very
distinguished Maryland sports
man, L. Manuel Hendler, presi-
dent Of the Hendlef Creamery
Company, of Baltimore, who
has a luxurious estate half
way between Washington and
Baltimore. that we don't think
of this unlaxing business. Hen
dler believes in plenty of un-
laxing and has surrounded him
self with 50-odd acres in which
to do his unlaxing, and in
the meantime has equipped his
country seat with a nine-hole
golf course, a half mile race
track, a whippet track, a fleet
of motor boats and a surpaSs-
ing equipment of fishing tackle
so that his many friends, too,
may go there and unlax when
ever the urge comes upon them.
All Of which is by way OF
leading up to the fact that to-
morrow, at Mr.. Hendler's mag
nificent country home which
he is pleased to call Harlequin
on-Severn, upwards of thou
sand Washington and Balti-
more druggists will foregather
for the day and what part OF
the evening they wish to re-
main, for the purpose of doing
some very tall and lofty un-
laxing.
He has been kind enough to
also extend this invitation to
lay down the scissors and paste
pot to a smattering of his
newspaper friends, say nothing
of Senor AL Schacht and Herr
Nicholas Altrock, comedians to
His Majesty Baseball. who will
lay aside the habiliment of
the national pastime for the
nonce and don those of harle-
quins at HarleQuin-on-Severn,
just across the channel from
Herald Harbor.
So, you see, Mr.. Hendler goes
in for unlaxing in a very big
and substantial way. He
doesn't like to unlax alone.
Rather, he likes plenty of COM
pany to unlax with him, SO
that all may bear witness that
the others do no thinking of
business, become worldly minded
nor, worst of all, revert to the
serious things of life, but rather
devote their entire sojourn at
Harlequin-on-Severn to levity,
sublimity, satisfying the inner
man and-unlaXing.
The hoSS racing over at Har-
lequin's half-mile track, which
incidentally is to be suspended
tomorrow in favor of foot-racing,
is of a very regulation type, pro-
grams of the usual form being
printed and distributed to the
guests with the names OF such

jake Lewis, former all-around
Business High School athlete, has
been serving as assistant club
house boy for the Washington
Club since 1928.
Until yesterday he attracted
virtually no attention.
Then, in a pinch, he ShuStled
into a uniform and served as q
batting practice catcher.
Even veteran Washington Club
players commented upon his gen.
eral ability and hustle.
After the game Coach Al
Schacht said:
"Where's the kid been all my
life. I've stumbled over, cursed
and liked him for three years
now. But / never knew he was
ball player.
"Why, he's got everything be-

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 13.-Gallant Fox is in tip

Whichone in the Travers on Sat-

liant Fox in his final prep yester-
day in a mile and one-quarter at
2:O4 2-5, and said he had the ut

PREDICTS FALL
/ OF MACDONALD
IN NEXT YEAR
British Conservatives Are
Content to Wait During
Economic Crisis.
by WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMs
scripps-H Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Unless
all signs fail, the British labor gov
eminent. headed by Premier Ram
say Macdonald, will crash in the
next twelve months.
Only two things now are propping
It up.
The opposition is in no great hur-
~ to take the reigns during the
present unprecedented economic, in
dustrial and Unemployment stu
alton, and the Indian crisis.
The conservatives, next strongest
party in Britain, still are split wide
open over the tariff and the domin-
ions trade policy
More Than 100000 Jobless
After something like a nation
wide demand for a change of re-
gime begins to make itself manifest,
the conservatives hope to step in
and have a try.
At present there are well over
10000 unemployed in Britain,
drawing doles from the public
treasury. This winter probably will
see 100000 idle.
Even within the Labor party it.
self there is faction dissatisfied
with the Macdonald movement.
Like the liberal leader, Lloyd
George, they openly demand more
drive" in the effort to put an end
to the grave economic crisis through
which the country is passing.
Predict Tariff Retaliation
The Conservatives claim to have
8 remedy ready. They promise rig
orous economy, tax reduction. a
protective tariff on manufactured
articles, a pegged wheat price and
increased trade with the dominions
Tt is significant that the entire
Conservative party is prepared to
play the tariff game started by the
United States, shutting out Ameri-
can products just as America has
shut out British products.
If the Conservatives regain pow
er, as they likely will before long,
tariff retaliation will become newt
able.
