Bazaar neever has done any,

and as all the world knows the

have learned to their sorrow to
take no chances on "One-Two

String with a winner is one
Of the Oldest and tritest sayings
Of sport, and 1t takes only half
an eye to see that Mrs. Sloane'S
stable is on the winning ram
page.
She is, I believe, in a hospital
in Palm Beach, suffering from
q fractured hip and every time
the phone rings she has won
another major stake. She was
unable to see Time Clocks score
in the Florida Derby and will
not be in Kentucky when the
veteran Bill Hamilton springs
the latch on Saturdays Derby.
But she doesn't mind so much,
so long as the news from the
front is good.
Capable Hands
She knows that her interests
are in capable hands. Bob
Smith, grand old timer, trains
Cavalcade and his stablemates
and Uncle Mack Garner boots
them home. Although he has
ridden a winner in virtually
every other race of consequence
on the Americna turf in his 20
years of chauffeuring the thor
oughbred, Uncle Mack has yet
to come bowling down there on
the head-end in the Blue Grass
Derby.
He is thus as excited as a
kid over Cavalcade's chances,
and cocky, too. After the
Lancegaye colts performance in
the Chesapeake, he doesn't see
how anything save bad luck
can stop him at Louisville.
The BritiSher will run in the
mud and he will run through
the stretch and weight did not
appear to bother him as a two
year-old. But I don't know.
In spite Of all these things
and the almost unbelievable
Brookmeade luck, the Derby
still looks to me to be as open
as a race could conceivably be.

FATE MAY PAIR:
SH0REY AND
PITT AGAIN

Will Harry g. Pitt, Of the
Manor Club, and John c. Shorey,
Of Kenwood Country Club, re.
enact in the Washington Golf
and Country Club invitation
tourney the golf duel they wagedl
in the championship final Of the
Belle Haven Country Club tourna-
ment yesterday? Both are entered
in the Washington meet and the
goddess of fortune may decree
they oppose again.
Pitt triumphed over Shorey by
3 to l margin after it had
appeared that Shorey was in for
his worst golf defeat. Pitt passed
the turn four up on his opponent,
who was playing raggedly and
hardly anyone suspected that the
match would be carried to the
seventeenth green before being,
decided.
ExplOdes With Brides 80
But Shorey broke loose with
a string Of brides that made Pitt
none too comfortable. He started
at the tenth with birdie four,
Pitt hooking out-of-bounds. Pitt
took the eleventh where Shorey
hooked into the rough and still
was in the rough with his
second.
UndiScouraged by another
hooked drive on the twelfth
Shorey played the greatest shot
Of the entire tournament to reach
the green, landing but IS feet
away from the cup. He found his
drive almost against the fence,
lying midst pebbles and weeds.
Using a niblick, Shorey dug into
the ball with a mighty smash
and lifted it onto the green and.
then dropped a 15-foot putt for
a winning birdie 3.
Slices Lead To One
Shorey canned an 8-foot putt
for a birdie three to take the
thirteenth and become two down.
The fourteenth was halved, but
Shorey sliced Pitts lead to one
by scoring par five to win the.
fifteenth after being in the woods
with his second. Pitt, although
missing his drive on the six.
teenth, took the hole when
Shorey drove out-of.bounds and
the battle ceased on the seven.
teenth when Shorey drove his
tee shot into the ditch.
Both finalistS were woefully
weak with their drives, one or the
other either hooking or missing
on practically every hole. Their
recoveries from difficult lies, how.
ever, were amazing and their
putting was consistent. Final

CQ]d2I4NLS CQRUM,S
BY BILL CORUM
u Matter of Spelling
Nobody Seems to KnOIO
And Neither Do I

NEW YORK, April 30.-Now
7 am going to write a few
paragraphs about a lady whose
name I do not know how to
spell, q confusion in which, 1t
appears, I am not alone.
For the purpose Of what I
have to say we shall call the
lRdy Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane.
! From time to time in the pub
lie prints her first name ap-
pears as Isabel and then again
I as Isabella, and her last name
r. with and without the "e," but
y NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
\ Ia the motto Of this bureau, so
that it is willing to post any
Reasonable odds that the name
EDodge, as it appears above, is
thMS correct as Emily Post at a
elfour o'clock tea.
Some Of the confusion about
the proper spelling of Mrs.
Gloane's name no doubt springs
from the fact that she races
her horses under the name Of
the Brookmeade Stable. Thus
her name does not appear on
the racing programs, and the
boys in the press coop give it
the old catch as catch can,
which doesn't in any way alter
the fact that when it comes.
to horse racing all of Mrs.
Sloane's spinach is four-leaf
Clovers. The lady just can't
lose any more. Mrs. Sloane
got into racing in a modest
way a few seasons back and
for a time, I believe, her luck
was not all sevens and elevens.
Amazing Wins
But the last two seasons, and
thus far this, she has come up
with an amazing series of stake
victories. My guess is that no
stable the size Of hers ever
scored so many in such a short
period. It has been amazing.
And it isn't as if her horses were
truly great. She hasn't had even
one great one.
3. But last summer she went
along winning classic stakes
with Inlander-a tough little
mudrunner but nothing more
and two or three Saratoga fix
lures with Caesars Ghost and
Okapi, both lacking several para
Bangs Of being another Man o.
War.
And this spring she bobs up
with Time Clock to be the sur.
prise winner Of the Florida
Derby and then High Quest to
win the Wood Memorial and
Cavalcade the Chesapeake on
the same day.
Thus it looks as though the
British bred Cavalcade is q
corking bet in the approaching
renewal of the Kentucky Derby,
II only because Mrs. Sloane is in
the midst of this sensational VIC
tory streak.

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK.

Futile indeed would be any attempt
to cnumcrate the past contributions
education in the development of mod
ton. Most of us understand to a some
what limited degree, the vital part of
education in modern society. But
Educating for Tomorrow is hte theme
of the fourteenth annual American
Education Week to be observed Nov.
8 to II.
The purpose of American Educa-
tiOn Week is to give the public an op-
portunity of appraising the work of
the schools and to participate in Sc
selecting educational objcctives.
Over 100000 American boys and
girls are served by our public school
system. Five million of these are high
school students. Society expects
schools to give these future citizens
trading which will fit them to cope
with the problems of an increasingly
complex society.
Today there are over 3 million per-
sons of school age in the United
States who are neither in school or
gainfully employed. These young
people cannot get a foothold. They
haven't a chance to settle down and
take part in the life of the nation.
Our people. our government has the
power of deciding what to do with
them. Education cannot stand still
Every year, almost every day. new
conditions arise, new problems. 1t
must grow to cope with increasing
demands for effectiveness in meeting
the needs of both children and adults.
These are only a few problems
which the public, the only source of
support for education, must solve.
American Education Week is spon-
sOrcd by the National Education, the
American Legion, and the United
tates Office of Education. But it's
observance is intended for the Gen
eral public, and must be participated
in the general public, if it is to achieve
it's aims

Growers Have Come Here

in 1884.
SHORT YIELD GETS

Government Acreage Con-
troll Has Turned Trick for
Farmer; Henderson Mar
kct Expects To Sell 49,
100000 Pounds or More
by Season End.

t'riCcS paid ON the Henderson to-
hacco market this season have lifted
the season average to date to the
highest of any market in the State,
and only one other anywhere in any
belt has cclipscd the figures set up for
this city. according to official statis-
tics available.
Through yesterday, Henderson has
sold ll.0I2,176 pounds. and buyers
have paid $3.516,7S4.43 for that
amount OF the golden weed. with an
average of $31.5 per hundred pounds.
Mondays sale put the cash pay
mCntS to growers here ahead of the
entire season last year, when $3,504,-
N5t07 was paid out for 19,480900
pounds for an average Of $500 per
hundred pounds. There is no indica-
ton that the poundage this year will
reach the proportions of last year, but
already more money has been paid
out and this years average is some
IS to 80 per cent higher than last
year. and the market still has a long
time to run before the close.
No date for the end of the season
has been set. nor even been seriously
considered, so far as has been learned.
1t is considered certain that it will
operate at least to the Christmas holi-
days, and while it is believed the crop
will virtually all be sold by that time,
II is not certain that the season will
end then.
Henderson has five warehouses for
the SAFE of leaf tobacco. and everyone
of them is manned by experienced
warehouscmen, all of whom enjoy a
wide acquaintance in the Henderson
tobacco territory, and hold the con-
fidences of the growers.
On the Henderson market also are
tw. Sets of buyers, representing all
the principal manufacturers in the to-
bacco business. as we'll as foreign in
icrcStS.
Competition for the growers leaf
has tcen keen this season. This has
come abous from several reasons
One OF them Is that the crop is short.
Another is that the foreign demand is
greater. and still, a third is the in
creased consumption of tobacco proc
ucts, especially cigarettes.
BUYERS on the local market are men
who have come up with long exper-
icncc in the purchase of leaf tobacco.
They know the grades and arc able

by j, e.. baskerville.

Ra.eigh, Nov. 6. "A three-cornered
program for the Improvement OIL
Caledonia Prison Farm, the States
largest prison farm, of some 1000
acres, is now being worked out by Di
rector j. B. Roach, of the prison di-
vision of the State Highway and Pub
lie Works Commission, with a view
to reducing the cost of operating the
farm as we'll as to make it more pro-
ductive, it was learned here today.
Director Roach is being assisted by
four professors from the State Col
lege school of agriculture in working
out this new program.
A survey of the farm was made
this week by Director Roach, Deputy
Warden L. G. Whitley and the four
professors from State College. The
program in mind contemplates the de-
Velopment plan, as we'll as the greater
mechaniZation of the work on the
farm by replacing men and mules
with machinery.
Under the system in use at the
farm for many years, approximately
75O prisoners have been used in ope-
rating the farm, since the principal
object has been to provide as much
work for as many prisoners as pos
sible. But since the 1888 general as
sembly decreed that as many prison
crs as possible should be used in
working the highways, there is a
greater need for prisoners for high
way work than farm work. So this
new plan contmeplates reducing the
number of prisoners needed on the
farm from about $50 to only $50, thus
making 400 more prisoners available
for highway work. But in order to
operate the farm with only $50 pris-
Oners instead of 75O, it will be neccs-
sary to use a great deal more farm
machinery than in the past and to re-
place teams of mules and horses with
motor tractors. At the present time.
some 400 mules and horses are work.
