made Of the engine and boiler rooms,
where bomb explosion might cause the
boilers to blow up and wreck the ship.
PY pm. the search had been COM
pleted-without result. At lunch 1t
was announced that due to the prev
alence of stray mines in the entrance
to the English Channel, the captain had
ordered special boat drill for 23O that
afternoon and all passengers were to
muster at their boat stations, with their
lifebelts Fortunately, it was a calm,
warm day, and at 23O pm. they assem-
bled as instructed, some of them laugh
ing, some serious and many grumbling,
but all unaware of the hidden menace
which might be under their feet waiting
to blow them into eternity.
Everything was in readiness to- aban-
don ship in record time. The crew had
swung out the boats and lowered them
part of the way down; the engines had
been slowed down and pressure in the
boilers reduced to a minimum; bulkhead
doors were closed, dividing the ship into
numerous watertight compartments,
and the radio operators were standing
by to summon help.
On the bridge the captain waited
anxiously satisfied in his mind on one
point only that every conceivable thing
had been arranged for in case OF dis
aSter.
A long hour passed which to those in
the know seemed like 10, but everything
remained quiet and peaceful, except for
the grumbling of restless passengers, and
then, suddenly, the welcome notes of the
bugle rang out and the order was given
to "disperSe." few minutes later tea
was being served and the ships routine
had returned to normal.
1t speaks well for the discipline and
organization that the secret never
leaked out, and the passengers and most
of the crew left the ship at the end of
the voyage in complete ignorance of the
dramatic events to which they had been
a INrty.

SEARS ARRANCES 1 MODEL KITCHEN
Actual Demonstration of
 Pressure Cooker to Be i. Seen in Store

A pressure cooker, which it is claimed, will cook meal in 10 minutes, will be demonstrated in Waterbury every day next week at the Sears Roebusk and Co store. according to announcement made to-day by s. Rosenfeld, manager of the store.
 A nationally known demonstra- tor of the pressure cooker will be a. visitor in the city, coming here especially to help the demonstra- tion plan of Manager Rosenfeld.
 ''We are going to turn a part of our store into kitchen, or as much of a kitchen as we shall need to stage this cooking school" said Manager Rosenfeld, "and we shall actually cook the meal at the dem onstration. After the meal is cooked we shall serve 1t as samples to those who attend. We believe that there Is much interest in pres sure cookers in general and we want to assist in spreading infor- nation about them. They are time savers and this feature appeals to every woman, as 1t should.
 ''The cooking school Is open 10 the public. We shall give demon- strations at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing and at o'clock and 4 o'clock in tho afternoon. We shall also stage a demonstration at o'clock on Saturday evening"
 Following the cooking of the meal and the tasting of it. to prove that cash item of food tastes as it should, there will be question and answer period during which the demonstrator will answer questions about the cooker and its operation.

The second building is a combination

Half the place is devoted to a concrete

harness work The other half is set
aside for colts ranging from weanling
to breaking age.

State, attest the success of the

Forrest Ward. the Fonda trainer
and manager, is faced with a problem as
complicated as preparing thorough
bred for the track, but entirely unique
In its technique.
A saddle colt reaches the age of two
when thoroughbreds already are racing
with only the most perfunctory handling
by the trainer Constant stable care
has dispelled the fear of human beings
and any correctible faults probably were
rectifled at the yearling stage.
1t is now time to p-int toward work
under saddle. There are three accepted
methods of approaching this goal. The
Evening star., 1932-04-24

Sometimes six months or even two
wears of experimentation are required to
evolve the nroper shoes, weights, tack,
etc for horse. Occasionally colt
one trainer has given up for lost will be
made into a winner by altering the
relative weight Of the left front and
the right rear shoes.
Breaking the colt to harness may
make him perfectly tractable when
saddle work is begun. FONDA inaugu-
rates that operation after the colt has
enjoyed several months harness ex-
perience. If the animal must pe proKen
all over again to go under saodle, how
ever. that ever-present ana ancient
bugaboo of all horsemen arises: should
he he subdued by force or by teaching
him tn cooperate? Both methods have
been seen to fail and to succeed
notably.
The clever owner recognizes the
Importance of preserving every ounce
of good disposition, intelligence and
willingness he can find in a young
horse The task of breaking. neverthe-
less is comparable to walking a tight
rome in a high wind. The only
reasonable technique is to veer in the
right direction and hope the results will
not be disastrous.
Standards Must Be Set.
Once the preliminaries are past, a
trainer must ask Of every three-gaited
horse in his care: Can he walk rapidly
in what is known as open" style? Is
the front action high at trot? The
hook action straight up and down
(figuratively)? The trot bold, square
and fast? The canter even and we'll
Ca+bered0
His f1ve-gaited horses must answer
those specifications and add a graceful,
delicate stepping pace or slow gait; a
rack high actioned, flashy, fast and
smooth.
A brilliant trot is an invaluable
characteristic in a three-gaited horse as
a rack with the flve-gaited. Both
receive proportionate attention in
training periods.
Antedating all training is the matter
of breeding. Fonda breeds entirely from
show horses. His stallion Richmont is
q splendid Bourbon King offspring, and
each of the brood mares has seen the
show ring more than a few times. The
two greatest saddle sires were Bourbon
King and Rex Peavine. A cross between
them naturally is regarded as desirable
and Fonda is fortunate enough to own

Peavine mares.
Ready TO Meet Best
When the top-notch one of these
high-bred animals have been put
through the training mill, they are
ready to meet the best of them. OF
they go in railroad car at the begin
ming of the show season, perhaps not
to see home again for many weeks.
The great day Of the show arrives.
Saddle horses are called. The gate
swings open and in they come, heads
high and alert, wavy tails rippling in
the sunshine and their bodies one
shimmering streak of brilliance, at a
sizzling rack. They sweep around the
ring and the audience comes to its feet,
applauding and cheering its favoriteS
As one Of the best-known local
thoroughbred breeders admitted some

1t IS for this immediate purpose that

first is to tack up the colt, put on light
weight in the form Of a sack or some
other locse object attached to the
saddle and take him out on lead line,
The young one may thus become
accustomed to saddle and bride,
carrying weight and to the shifting
motion of something in the saddle.
Uses Harness Method.
A second practice is to put up a
very light weight boy at once for the
breaking, the 5theory being that the
best way to prepare horse for riding
Is to ride him.
The third method Fonda employs is
to break the colt to harness in the Fall
after it becomes 2 years old. Hitched
to a cart, the youngster is taught

The advantage of this system is that
pulling weight develops muscle in a
colt, whereas carrying it may do ire
parable damage.
There are literally scores of possible
correct combinations of brides, bits,

Untrue or over-reached hook action

IS CLASSES GIVEN
TO SADDLE HORSES
Hunters Left Little More
Than Half of Spotlight
at Bradley Farms.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.

The increasing Importance Of saddle
horses in territory where the hunter
reigns more or less supreme is
reflected in prize lists issued by the
National Capital Horse Show Com
nlittee in advance Of its 1882 exhibition
at Bradley Farms May IL to Ia.
Fifteen classes. offering approx
n1ately 81 500 in cash and trophies, will
be open to the high-steppers this year
giving them better than quarter of
t.ie show. Nine pony events and two
reserved for military mounts leave the
hunters little more than so per cent of
the spotlight.
Sadole-horSe breeding is rare in the
Virginia and Maryland areas which
supply horsemen of this territory with
their mounts. That, in part, accounts
for the predominance Of another type,
although the habits Of a traditional
thoroughbred section also constitute q
factor.
Methods Differ widely.
With the appearance in this sector
of establishments like Birdwood Farm
the 1,0O0-acre saddle horse farm Henry
L. Fonda maintains at Charlottesville
Va, it is believed, however, the saddle
animal may come into its own here as
an unsurpassed show type and pleasure
horse.
The background of the Fonda plant
Is perhaps indicative of the basis on
which rests the future of saddle horse
development in the National Capital
and adjacent circuits.
Although he transplanted his stable
to Virginia only II years ago, this
Spring Fondas horses will make the
eightieth show campaign registered
under his family name, which has been
prominent in Pennsylvania for genera
tions.
The young and seasoned horses he
sends forth to seek glory are products
of a system as different from hunter
and race horse raising as white from
black The strongest point of similar
ity is that all types are costly and
usually operated at loss.
The personnel of Fonda's stable
includes % horses in training, brood
mares, cclts and the stallion Richmont,
winner of the Kentucky stallion stake
In 1927.
Housed i'm Comfort.
Two large structures house the
animals. One Is a neat gray-and-w white
frame stable 80 feet wide and ITO feet

OF a corridor which has sliding doors

and may be entered by another set
of largo doors from front or back

Despite many cases where wealthy,
non-riding owners show horses only for

permanent improvement of types and
the breed, the show horse iustif1es him

that way the goal of the greatest

it. 1t isn't fair for the Government to
make a profit on money which, in deed

"profteering, he said, because the

Work All Week:
Families Hungry
Unemployed Council
Fighting Forced Labor

POCATELLO, Idaho.-We are max
ing every effort to organize the ATS
workers who are employed on the
city dump. They get five days a
week and six hours a day. Their
pay is $3.50, paid in script. This is
good only as exchange in the COM
nlisssSy set up by the politicians
with the money received from the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
from whom the state of Idaho re-
ceived 100000 to provide work for
the poor.
The reason this money is not given
to the workers in cash, is, the ex-
ploiters want them to understand
that if they want to eat, they must
work, and that they must not ex-
.pect to enter the parasite class who
live in idleness on the fat of the
land"
Those who are in charge of the
commissary, deal out the relief just
as they see fit. Some receive so lit
tie for their work. that they are not
able to feed one person on the
amount. None of them receive what
any family should have to sustain
them. The marks of hunger can be
seen on every face of those who are
subjected to this forced labor pro-
gram of the capitalist system.
The workers who are interested in
organizing council here, have rent
ed the Columbus Hall as headquart-
ers, and are moulding meeting every
night We have put on several en-
tertainments with very good results,
but it still takes lot of energy to
make the workers active in the or
ganization. However, we are start
ing block committees now, and will
keep on with our educational work
until we get the desired results.
Our speakers stress the need of the
Western and Daily Worker, which
will give them the educational matter
which they need, and taking it from
the way they buy these papers, the
circulation of them will grow rapidly.

Schmidt, Ivan Voronin and Prof. v
J. Weise who led the long Jir criakoy
expedition. Similar receptions erect
ed the return of other expeditions
which have marked 1882 as the most
successful year of Soviet Artic ex-
ploration, since Lenin ordered the
first Attic expedition on the Perseus
more than ten years ago.

Wet exploration activities have shown
a stormy growth which likewise holds
good for polar exploration. AS re-
suit of the work of Soviet explorers
the white spots" on the map of the
Soviet Union which represented un-
explored regions, have almost entirely
disappeared. New islands have been
discovered. Valuable resources of all
kinds have been found and new in
duStrial districts opened up.
Organized Socialist Exploration
BY 1882 the Soviet Union is far
ahead of any of the capitalist coun-
tries in this work The State Ocean
ographic Institute has been establish
ed which organizes these activities
on scale which is beyond the limits
of possibility for capitalist countries
OF the seventeen new polar stations
laid out in 1892, by number of coun-
tries, nine have been allotted to the
Soviet Union which has more than
fulfilled its share of the work.
Over so Expeditions
More than so expeditions have
been arranged since Artic exploration
was begun by the Soviet Union. The
extent OF these activities has grown
each year, making this year the
richest in the scope and achievements
of this work.
Particularly important work was
done this year by icebreaker, "Maly-
gin" under the direction of Pinegir
and Captain Chertkov. The Malygin
accomplished the unusual task of
making two trips to Franz Joseph
Land in one summer, thus greatly
enlarging the possibility of scientific
research work
