Stages Coolest Horse Race
Forty Plugs Entered in Seattle Mayors Derby
With Odds 100 to l Against ALL

The Coolest, most decrepit nags
in Washington State will stagger
around a race track that is half
mud and half humps and bumps.
the Mayor said, and there will be
nothing straight about it.
Already entered for the race
Saturday are 40 horses who
cheated approximately seven glue
factories and fertilizer establish
ments to be eligible. They include
Flat Tire, Firecracker, Not Guilty.
Tugboat Annie, Stogie, Flannel
Cakes, Piccolo Pete, Soap Bubbles,
Weinerschnitzel, Long Distance
and Pinochle-all animals more
than IL years old.
There is no sense in this horse
race" said Mayor Smith. but on
the other hand, is there any sense
in any horse race? The City of
Seattle is sponsoring derby, and
the first horse in will lose. The
third horse will win a keg of beer.

condition, SO will the horses. The
odds are 100 to against every
nag.
II don't see why we have to
have an intelligent idea to run a
horse race But if people insist on
one, the idea is to interest the
adults of Seattle in their park sys-
tenn. The Park Board sponsors
the derby, as it also sponsors many
things that attract children to the
parks. This race will interest
adults think"
He was right. When the citi-
zens' head jockeys were training
by wearing rubber boots and carry
ing umbrellas, and by feeding
pork chops to the horses, one and
all clamored to buy tickets. They
learned it wasn't commercial.
There isn't any admission charge.
Seattle simply is going to have the
silliest horse race in the world.

~HICAGO, April 11-Women,
always accused of pushing

arose in mild rebellion to-
day to keep their swimming cham

those record destroyers, Jack Medica

with two championships-enough for
any headline writer-but interspersing
her great performances came Medica
and Kiefer to shatter world records
in the 300-yard free style and 400
meter back stroke. They simply stole
the show and the applause of the
crowd.
Il don't know why the men swim in
our meets" said Charlotte Epstein,
coach Of the New York Swimming As
sociation. Il suppose they compete
so the girls can catch their breath.
but there are good many girls who
could stage exhibitions to keep the
crowds interest. I'd like to see a
women's championship closed for
women-so would lot Of the other
women"
After four attempts, Medica finally
cracked the world mark in the 300
yard free style last night, swimming the
distance in 3:044, as compared with
the former record time of 3:06.8,
established by James Gilhula of the
Detroit Athletic Club. Of to a very
fast start that the timers and specta-
tors feared would stop him, the Seattle
destroyer padded right along to
smash the world mark.

Sluggish
Skin
Rv JULIET SHELBY

Beautiful, smooth and un-
blemished, the skin of Lo-
retta Young always has been
the envy of every woman
who has ever seen it. Hers
is the clearness of COM
plexion that may be likened
to the glory of Carara
marble.
Some women haven't lovely
skin because of sheer neglect,
other women are victims of a
skin condition which appears
after an illness or which arrives
during adolescence. Such con-
ditions dermatologists classify
as "acne."
An acne condition varies with
the individual. What cures
one victim will only irritate an
other. So it is wise to consult
a skin specialist if your skin is
annoyingly blemished or blotchy.
Even then you may have to
experiment along with his
knowledge in the hope that you
will find a cure.
From across the sea comes a
treatment for acne which has
helped many women. Bear in
mind, however, that these Wo-
men did not have diseased
skin, but a sluggish skin which
was not discharging the i'm
purities from the pores as it
should; perhaps skin that had
been irritated by a choice of
poor cosmetics.
The treatment actually re-
quires three products, but the
most important aid is sold
separately, so if you cannot af-
ford all three, get the lotion
which is used on the bemishes
after a thorough skin cleans
ing. Allow it to remain on
your face all night and apply
it before you makeup during
the day
Constant treatment will soon

Nervous Strain

Tickling or squeezing the
baby violently is too strenuous
cuddling. He may laugh, even
shout with excitement at the
time, but his nervous system is
the worse for each assault OF
this sort.
Considering the strain which
modern civilization i'm poses
upon adult nerves, the firmer
the tone they acquire during
babyhood and childhood, the
better.
Mother-love should discipline
itself, if it is likely to interfere
with the baby's formation OF
good habits. To be always at
his beck and call, because you
love him so much, is to indulge
in an orgy of selfish affection
which may turn him into a
young tyrant.
Taking the baby up when
ever he cries is the classic eX-
ample of mother-love gone
wrong. This is a point on
which the quintuplets' nurses
are most strict, and, as a con-
sequence, the little girls, before
they were eight months old,
had almost stopped crying to
get attention.

Not a thing was the matter

guardians knew it. They we're
not thirsty or hungry, they had
no pins pricking them and no
pain.
AS soon as Emilie's sharp little
ears heard a nurse pause ever
50 softly outside the closed
door, the wall stopped in the
hope that here was somebody
coming to pick the baby up.
When nobody was deceived
by the ruse, Emile whimpered a
bit more, then dropped off to
