New York, Aug 4-UP)- Strange as are the ways or d iiaiu in love, a snake on d rock, ana southpaw pitcher with inhibitions' their ways are as constant as the surf when compared with the ways of a thoroughbred horse,
 This highly philosophical obser- yation was prompted by the read ing of an advertisement in the pup lie prints calling attention to the annual sale of yearlinSs at saratoga Springs in week or so.
 These sales represent the biggest gamble known to sports. The auc- tioneer pounds his block and they walk out an untrled young thor oughbred. He may look like cooi million and then again he may look like something that wandered over from Joe Smiths livery stable for a bite to eat. They give you hla bloodline which may or may not run back to Pegasus You look nm over. And by you we mean 'hoSe gentlemen who though down 10 their last ten million or 50, still are able to smile and bear up braVely
 They Get the 'ILowdOwn'
 The prospective purchaser looks him over and then consults men who eat, sleep and think horse flesh for 24 hours out of the day 365 days out of the year. Then the prospective owner knows all th' answers but one and that the one that matters-wlll the cri'ter bf able to run?

ALASKAN TELLS OF SIBERIA'S
 GOLD FIELDS
John Ho sler, Fairbanks Miner, Writes of Inter-
 esting Conditions

Some of the. conditions in the gold mining regions of Siberia are described by John Hosler, Fair banks miner, who was engaged last summer by the Soviet Government to introduce American methods into the Siberian fields. He is at Neezametnie, Aldan, Siberia, 400 miles from a railroad In part, his letter to his folks in Fair banks, as printed in the Fairbanks News Miner, says:
 From what can see there is a great deal of building all over Rus sia. Even in the more out of the sway places they are building many fine big buildings, mostly of logs. It seems wrong though for them to put so much work on log build ings. The logs are all hewn by hand down to same diameter from end to end, hewn flat on the in- side and then gouged out on the lower side so they fit the round upper side of the log below per- fectly The cracks are calked with some sort of fibre which makes a very tight joint
 Built-in Brick Stoves
 Their stoves are almost entirely built-in brick affairs of massive construction extending from tht first floor clear to the roof witt firebox on each floor. Tn; lbuilt-in stoves and the cracks il the unfinished logs make fine nestl for the breeding of cockroaches anc ibedbugs, which are certainly plen. tiful. I guess it is matter O getting used to them as no on' seems to mind them much.

Many of the Russian girls are very good looking or striking in appearance. The few women I have met seem much easier to talk to than the men. Probably because they strive to please more than the men do.
 Going to Drill Camps

 They have one Keystone here i that has a rotary shot drilling attachment, and no one ever saw one before. They are drilling in very hard rock, but think their costs are from ten to twenty times what they should be. The machine will have to be gotten in shape first-then see if we can improve actual drilling process. A short time ago a commission inspected the boiler and set the maximum

Bowlegs.

Bowlegs.
There are ways in which Q baby
shows an obServant mother that his
gain as much IS the average baby his
age should gain weekly or monthly
Second, he may be up to weight, but
his tooth and bone development is poor
He does not have the number of teeth
to be expected at his age; or his long
bones are soft and. therefore. bend
under his weight. Even babies who
walk quite young do not suffer from
bowlegs unless their bones lack the
solidity which comes from the right
kind of food and sufficient sunshine.
This last, SUFFICIENT sunshine. Is a
commodity easy to get in the Summer
time. But during the long Winter
months babies suffer greatly from q
lack of sunshine, so in Winter we fur
nish them this mysterious element in
sunshine by giving daily doses of cod
liver oil. With sunshine or with cod
liver oil the minerals in the baby'S diet
are enabled to do their full duty. Even
good diet can't always prevent q
baby's being badly nourished unless he
has sufficient sunshine or sufficient cod
liver oil along with it.
Mrs. F. BIS baby has developed bow
old and weighs % pounds. having
weighed 7l2 at birth She has always
had cod liver oil and orange juice. She
stood on her feet at months and
walked at 10 months. She Is perfect
except that she Is terribly bowlegged.
Do you think she will outgrow this, or
can anything be done to straighten
the legs?"
At this age. Mrs. F.. B.. the chances
are excellent for the legs to straighten
out naturally. Braces and such de-
vices are absolutely the last resort. Good
food and sunshine or cod liver oil must
best.
Cod liver oil and orange Juice are. of
course. essential parts of perfect diet.
but they are not all of it, You did not
say what other foods the child had the
first year. A proper milk formula,
cereal and vegetables are essentials, too.
The baby is slightly underweight.
The bowlegs are indications of
ricketts,. Ricketts, in turn is an indica-
ton of faulty nutrition, which results
in poor bone development. The de-
formities of ricketts, tend to cure them
selves readily if taken in time. Taken
in time" means to furnish the child
with a perfect diet, complete in every
nutiitional element, so that the bone
development may continue apace. In
addition to cod liver oil and a good
diet it is sometimes advisable to give
the child ultra violet ray treatments to
speed up the normal bone development.
Perhaps you would enjoy having my

The secretary was wrong. The boss
wife was not quite a fool. But she had
a spiteful streak and was little jealous
of the people who worked with her hus-
band. She wanted to make Miss Ken
nedy feel small and to anger her. And
she succeeded.
Then the Aecretary went back and
she initiated the boss wife's drawl.

and banged the drawer shut.

would probably be difficult to sway her,
once she had decided on certain
course.
She probably likes to draw. She
should at least try to cultivate any tai
ent she may have in this direction, as
her distinctive manner Of writing IL
illustrates a natural love Of form and
design. The fact that her writing was
attractively arranged on the page. with
wide, even margins and good spacing,
would indicate the same artistic
abilities.
Because the lower loop letters are

enjoys simple pleasures to their fullest
