Kunnel Winn Goes In
For Winter Racing

VL
KUNNEL MATT WYNN, nan and
boy, has seen every Kentucky Derby
that ever was run. AS president OF
the American Turf Association which
operates ;sven race tracks, tnclud-
ing Churchill Downs. Arlington and
Latonia, he oversees a heap OF horse
running during the summer months.
The other day the Kunnel put
q new iron In the fire, being named
texecutive diredtor" Of che new
Miami Beach Jockey Club. which
will operate on a man-made island
between Miami and the Beach.
This Is one OF the most important
things that ever happened TO WIN
ter racing. WINS nama at a horse
track Is like j. P. Morgan's on a
certified check. II seems that as
soon as a boss arrives at n OF the
tracks in which the Kunnel has a
hart. he looks over the program and,
3eeing the Kunnel's name there in
black and white. decides he'll have
to run. and no foolin'.
Winter Quarters
The bringing OF VIM to Miami
Beach will mean that the club will
become a winter training ground for
the Derby and other big spring and
summer events.
Business and racing departments
OF the track are TO be separate
groups, with the Kunnel acting as
liasion officer. This is an ideal to-
ward which VIM is very friendly.
Thus, the directorate Of the club,
announced here for the first time
Is composed OF men who have no
interest in the racing end as far as
owning stables is concerned.
The board represents hundreds cf
millions OF dollars in the business
world. One director Is G. r. Nutty,
president OF the Gulf Refining COM
pany Of Pittsburgh, a concern that
Is worth probably no more tnan
s / 1000, 600, 600. (My, such figuresD
Another Is George Dent Craoos
of Cincinnati, member OF the Cleve-
land Federal Reserve board n
director or president OF probably 10
big public utilities and private corp
orations in Cincinnati.
Helpful Affiliation
T. ". OCONNOR, chairman OF
the United States Shipping board,
ts a director. Robe Carl White, as
sistant secretary Of labor, is an
other. Jack Snuff, leader in several
Cincinnati corporations, and director
OF one OF the largest insurance com
panies in Ohio, is a director. r. "a.
liking. director OF a couple of banks
lind three or four corporations IN
New York, also Is a member or the
b5ard- The names Of two OF p ol-
rectors cannot be announced until
the men return from Europe.
Joe Smoot, president OF the club,
built the first track in Miami six
wears ago. He has worked without
respite to put winter racing in the
South on a big scale. The utilization
OF Kunnel VIM, who Is the Tex
Rickard OF the boss tracks. with the
r,illionaires mentioned, looks TO be
the biggest thing that ever happen
ed for winter racing.

use of paris green applied with airplanes or dust blowers to ponds and swamp areas. This treatment is most effective against malaria mosquitos, the wrigglers of which take their food from the surface of the water. The paris green is mixed with some fine dust, one pound paris green to 10 pounds dust and applied at the rate of four to 10 pounds per acre. The floating particles of poison are taken in by the wrigglers but there is not enough poison on the water to injure fish or livestock.
 For oiling, kerosene is very com monly used but other diStillate oils which will spread equally as well will do the work. Under still conditions one ounce of oil will cover 15 square feet of surface. The oil may be thrown over the pools with a dipper, but it is bet ter to use sprayer to distribute it. Usually the oil must be applied every two weeks to prevent all breeding.
 Drainage of breeding places has the distinct advantage of more permanently eliminating breeding places, although the initial cost lis often considerable. If extensive mosquito breeding areas have to be dealth with, an engineer is nec- essary and community action is often required. This is particularly true with the sale of marsh areas where certain mosquitoes which breed in salt or brackish areas are concerned.
 These salt marsh mosquitoes can fly several miles, hence purely To- cal drainage work cannot be relied upon to give compete relief if other marh areas are near.
 The above treatise on Mosouitoes was written by F. c. Bishop, prin- cipal entomologist, Bureau of En- tomology and published in the U. s. Daily.

MOSQUITO CONTROL DECLARED ATTAINED
 BY SIMPLE MEANS
INEXPENSIVE EFFORT ADVISED TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EC-
 ONOMIC LOSS FROM PEST


 most enjoyable passtime in the world, nor is a mosquito concert at night the most enchanting music, yet we continue to indulge in this sort of entertainment. Is- mt it surprising how much misery we will endure when by we'll dir ected effort nd a moderate out lay of money we might be able to fully enjoy our gardens and terraces and sleep without the odor of a citronnella or the op- pressiveness of mosquito bar?
 do not want to lead you to think that all mosquito control problems are simple and inexpen- sive, but a large part of the an- noyance caused by these pests can be avoided by such simple means.
 Mosquitoes are not only annoy ing but many of them are dan- gerous as they are sole carriers of such diseases as malaria, yellow fever, dengue or breakbone fever, and the disease called filariasiasis. caused by a miniature worm. EFFECT ON COMMUNITY
 The presence of great plaques of mosquitoes and of malaria have far-reaching economic effect on community; development is re- tarded, agriculture and industrial output is reduced and land values are lowered, so you can see that there are abundant reasons for individual, community, State and even national action against these little foes.
 To fight intelligently we must know something about the enemy and it's methods There are many different kinds of mosquitoes and their habits are vastly different. In one important way, however, they are all alike, that is, they all have their "wiggle- -tail' stage in water This is the stage in which we can fight them most effectually.
 In the absence of water suitable for "Wiggle tails" to develop in we have no mosquitoes, or if we ap- ply oil to the water the "wiggle tails are destroyed.
 The house mosquitoes cause much annoyance in all parts of the country. Fortunately their breeding is very easily prevented. These mosquitoes breed in close proximity to homes in any vessel which will hold water for 10 days. Rain barrels and cisterns should be screened if they are to be used. CeSSpOols, old wells, tin cans. and defective cave troughs may pro- duce an almost increditable num- Der of these peStiferous insects.
 POOLS WOULD BE DRAINED
 In parks and rural districts, woodland and roadside pools must be drained or oiled if they the not kept free from debris and stocked with top minnows. Open lakes or ponds with clean straight banks are seldom important mos quito breeding places for the wave action and presence of fish us- ualy prevent breeding. Much at- tention has been directed to the

He visited there for two weeks until Il

His friends further say that he often
flies by sense Of feel and that on
croSs-country hops he would neither
look at II compass nor at maps. Fortu-
nately he did not rely upon this system
ON his world trip, for at times over
stretches OF the flight the instruments

Is hangover from the days when
Wiley was wing walking and parachute
jumping with the transforming AIR

Post Is exceptionally thorough IN his
preparations for any undertaking. He
neither smokes nor drinks because he
doesn't believe such habits ut IN well

good physical trim at all times and AL
though he Is but 5 feet 5 inches TALL
none of the mental OF physical tasks Of
flying tires him.
Points Out Difficulties.
Russell Pecht. who worked with Post
on the coast points out that one OF the
most dit1icult things flyer faces Is
taking on ship heavily laden with
gasoline.
When plane is heavily loaded with
gas 1t takes tremendous eXertlon TO get
the tail up" Pecht says. only those
who have taken 600 gallons of fuel oil

Mae know how a man has to push on
that stick He must have the muscles

OF gas and sit there in the cockpit for
minutes after they are III the air almost
exhausted"

against and he prepared for 1t. Not by

BY the time Wiley Post had achieved
his position as chief test pilot at the

that he became q flyer after he had lost

of Commerce examiners ~ be the only

learned to fly after losing the sight of

he be given license.

not. he absolutely refuses to go up.
One tells the story that Post has no
use for a certain type OF plane and that
one day he was ordered to test one. He
refused, saying he had feeling some
thing would happen.
Finally he was prevailed upon TO
make flight and took the plane over the
desert wastes OF Arizona, where he was
forced down Is miles from the nearest
