 BY HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Stan CorrespondenD
 New York, Feb 21.-UP)-The winter books on the Kentucky Der by have opened and the govern ment, if it's as interested in the citizenry as it seems to be, should order sucker warnings flown from Hatteras to the Golden Gate.
 For the winter books, with their magnetic odds of 100, 200, 500, and even 1000 to 1, draw the suckers even as the candle does the moth, the poultice the pain. The urge to get a whole lot of something for almost nothing is so overpow- ering that the sucker forgets to remember that the gentlemen who offer such lucious odds are wise in the ways of the world, and are not in the commission business for their health. When such robust figures are quoted on a horse, you ma yrest assured that something knows something. This "some- thing" usually is the knowledge that the horse in question has gone amiss, and couldn't win the Council Bluffs claiming race, even with the aid of an outboard motor.
 One has only to take peek at the odds quoted on the decent nags to realize that the commis- sioners aren't giving anything away. For example, Mir Tom Rear neY. noted St Louis philanthropist, whose heart, like his wallet, rum meth over, offers winter book sub 1N.rN +rn lnc Fishers lilly, Mata Hari. The odds should be 25 or 30 to 1 at least. Remember, MT Kearney won't give you your money back if Mata Hari doesn't go to the post. To get even a run for your money Mata must stand training for the next seven weeks. And when you re- member the numerous ailments that a horse is subject to-Weep- ing Withers, Pham Hooks, Pad locked F'etlocks, Dandruff in the Mane, and Plain Rash, to mention only a few-you see that Derby post time is liable to find Mata Hasi on a sickbed miles removed from Churchill Downs.
 You only have to compare the number of nominations for the stake with the starting field to realize that the odds are heavily against your winter books choice answering the bugle. As a rule around 125 are called, and fewer than 20 answer. Which, if our arithmetic teacher wasn't playing tricks, means that only one out of every six has a chance Of facing the barrier.
 Yet, according to MT Kearney, his book is doing more business than it has in years, and custom CTS are clamoring for a chance to lay their money on some beetle whose neck will feel the caress of a floral horseshoe only when the milk companies go on for decorat- ing thier delivery teams. This Is interesting mainly in that it proves Phineast T. Barnum was more conservative in his state- ments than Queen Victoria.

Good evening!

With only two more matches re- maining to be rolled, we again find Mills and Moriafty deadlocked in first position. Each has tough op- ponents to roll before the curtain rings down. It will be no surprise to us to find them in a tie at the end, necessitating a roll-off. May the best team win.
 Iautenschlager takes on Mills, the Mighty Atom, next week and this should be 8 nip and tuck af- fair. K. R. L.'s bunch has been go- ing on high of late and is sure to give the smaller of the Ray twins some anxious moments.

The first match of what may de- velop into a series between the 15 man team picked from the City Engineers league and the 15 first string bowlers from the Connecti- cut Light and Power company ranks was won by this power out fit of our by majority of 79 pins. As total pinfall was the deciding factor, the narrow victory margin for the power boys attests to the evenness of the teams. For the win ners Ray Lautenschlager was high with BAT and Jack Roberts came through with one sweet game of 141. Frank Byrnes, Johnny De- Vito, Bill Grover, Fred Drummond and Nick Calabrese wheeled in with better than 800. For the En- gineers, Herb Scott-Smith caused quite some consternation in the CL&P ranks previous to the match by rolling a practice game of 16O. What a man! Happy O'Rourke and our Benny Goldstein were wrapped up In an alley tangle which we thought would be one of the fea- turcs of the night but Benny gave away too much weight and came out on the short end. Henry Wit lock, Pat Carlln and Dossy liar nick made valiant but vain efforts to stop the powermen. We hardly think the City Hall boys are satis- fled they have met their masters and will be clamoring for re- turn match.

Finger Bowls

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly tell me the
correct usage of finger bowls
at a home dinner?
A says they are placed sep
arately, that is, bowl and plate
apart beside the plate after the
salad course, remaining there
until dinner is finished. B says
they are placed together be-
side the person at the conclu-
sion of the dinner. Which Is
correct.
PERPLEXED.
The usual finger Dowl serv-
ice, and I believe the most
convenient one, is; before the
dessert course the table is
crumt I'd and is cleared of all
dishes that will not be neceS-
sary after the salad course
(that, is, bread and butter
plates, salts and peppers. and
so forth.)
Then we place before each
guest the dessert plate with
the finger bowl on it, partly
filled with tepid water; on the
right side of the dessert plate
we place the dessert spoon. and
on the left side, the dessert
fork. =
The person served removes
the spoon to the right OF his
place, the fork to the left, ana
the finger bowl to the left,
slightly above the fork. This
leaves the dessert plate ready
for the service Of dessert.

Correct Manners
Bv Mrs, Cornelius Beeckman

the dessert is already served IN,
say, sherbet glasses, or when
the hostess wishes to make
this service double (first serv-
ing the dessert, and later plac"
ing the finger bowl service) is:
the dessert service alone is
brought in, say the sherbet
glass on the under plate, and
then, when this is removed, the
finger bowl, also on an under

Either service is correct. 1T
depends entirely on the wishes
