It startles the racing world,
particularly the thousands upon
thousands who bet on races daily.
If such things can happen at Ar
lington, they say, what protection
has the player?
There's just one answer:
GAIL Horse Players Must Die
Broke"
Four Ways Crooks Operate
Crooked racing tricks can be
carried through, even with the
owners, track officials and even
trainers doing their honest level
best to keep the sport clean.
Aside from the natural hazards
of racing, the honest hazards,
there are four general methods
under which a race may be fixed.
One method is through the
jockey, and a bad ride, purposely
given.
One method is through conniv.
ance of the trainer, who may per-
NIT doctoring of his horse. to
make him run fast or slow, de-
pending on whether the coup"
is to make a fast horse lose or
a slow horse win.
A third method iS-and it's
rarer than the other methods
is deliberate crookedneSs of track
officials, from assistant starters to
judges, to give a favorite a bad
start, or give close decisions to a
chosen horse. or even disqualify a
winner.
The fourth method is that of
using a ringer" substituting a
fast horse for a slow one, by max
ing the fast horses markings
conform to those Of a slower
horse, and then running the
camouflaged, and faster animal,
under the name Of the slow one.
Ringing" is comparatively rare,
because of the difficulty of put
ting over such a coup. but sew
eral times in each racing year
some instance of it is brought to
light. When a ringer race is sue
cessfully put over the gamblers
who arrange it rake in hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The
"saps" who bet other horses in
such race look on amazed at
the form reversal" Of the horse
in whose place the ringer runs.
paddy" Barrie, barred from
English tracks, under suspicion
or barred from American tracks
whenever the Pinkertons spot
him, is probably the most widely
publicized Of the ringers" Just
take one case of Barrie's to ex-
plain the system.
$25O,OOO Clean Up on Ringer"
The afternoon Of october 8,
1881, there was a race for two
year-olds at Havre de Grace. A
two-year-old gelding named Shem
was entered in that race. Ac-
cording to the records Shem won
the race, over a six-furlong route,
in 1:13, beating out such smart
horses as Ladfield and others,
and paid off at 51a to /, or $13
for a 50 mutuel ticket.
The joke of it all was that
Shem wasn't Shem at all that
day, but a three-year-old stallion
named Aknahton, dolled up by
the camouflaging m e t h ods Of
Paddy Barrie until even the Of
ficials didn't detect the differ
ence.
A day or two before that, per-
haps a week before, a closed van
had drawn up at the receiving
barn at Belmont. Aknahton and
Shem were loaded into that van,

Presidents whole plan. Were America
Marines and blueiackets to become ac-
tive, there is indication the campaign
Of anti-American propaganda that has
caused such concern in the past might
be revived. Again there might be heard
the warning to beware Of the greed Of
the United States.
The charge that once American cap
ital has gained a foothold in Latin
American countries the independence
Of those countries is lost might resound
more strongly than in the past.
That's one reason that the President.
through his personal representative in
Cuba, has been handling the situation
SO delicately and with such care. Both
he and Ambassador Welles are trying
to prevent embarrassment in the future.
American troops were ordered to
Cuba back in 1906 and exercised the
power Of government in the island for
three years. Again in 1912, on account
of disturbances at Santiago at the sugar
mills, partial Intervention took place
at the request of the Cuban govern
ment. However, in the latter case the
American troops acted as a police force
and did not take over the government
OF the republic.

Everyday Psychology
By DR. JESSE ". sPROwLs.
Intelligence.

The question Of intelligence, 1t seems
to me, is not question Of what.
but a question of when" A child or
man may be totally lacking In in
telligence in the face Of some situations,
and highly intelligent in the face of
others.
We are all intelligent In some of the
fundamentals of life's adjustments and
relatively ignorant In the less funda-
mental adjustments. For instance. that
connection between the past and the
present aspects OF experience, which en-
ables us to keep out Of the way Of auto
mobiles, fire and other dangers, is wide
spread. Such connections dntelligence)
are very common. Fewer people can
read and write, still fewer can handle
the distractions of mathematics, and
only a very few have any connections
about the Eipstein THEORY of relatively.
Surely intelligence Is relative-relative
to situations of experience, past and
present. The more connections a man
gets and holds between the past and
the present. the more intelligent he Is
and may become.
This definition Of intelligence Is also
a definition of psychology, which is the
science Of human intelligence. And as
some one has said, intelligence IS not
something that life has, but something
that life Is. That Is exactly what psy-
chology is-an account Of the mental
affairs OF everyday life.
Every life has its range. So does
every intelligence. When you say that
one persons has more intelligence than
another. you are making a comparison,
not of persons, but of the reach Of ex-
periences in their lives.

- ONE of the earliest records of SCI
entific exploration of the "Potow-
mack River" mention the beauty
~ of the butterflies around the
marshy tract of land that was
one day to become the Nations capital.
A British consul, in 1917, David Baillie
Warden, published list of Washington
insects that included five butterflies
the Painted Lady, the Monarch, the
Spicebush Swallowtail, the Blue Swal-
lowtail and the Silver-Spotted Skipper.
One Of the reasons why American
butterflies seemed SO beautiful to the
early English colonists is found in the
large number of our swallowtails. There
called Papilio) in England, and that q
rare one. But our swallowtails, per-
fectly described by their common name,
are very large, very abundant, and Of
bewildering variety of color and shape
They put this, our Northern region, al
most in class with the tropics, SO far
as magnificent butterflies are concerned
We have white swallowtails, yellow
and brown swallowtails and black swal-
lowtails spotted with yellow or orange,
or black and blue and they go by such
agreeable names as Giant, Zebra, Spice
bush, Yellow and Blue Swallowtails.
The Blue Swallowtall. while not so
large as the brown Giant, is one of the
biggest. Spring individuals are very
scarce; 1t is only after the second week
in August that you stand much chance
of finding any, and lest any one think
that the Blue Swallowtail is all blue, l
should hasten to say that only the outer
half of the hind wings is of metallic
steel blue; the rest of the wings Is
chiefly black. The blue portion carries
a curved row of large, rounded, orange
spots, set in black, each with small
silver patch on the upper side; or. seen
from above, these dots appear as small,
light spots.
Above all the Blue Swallowtail IS a
