"HERE was definite swing today

threats to keep Equipoise from

terday when they rambled the handi-
cap route of mile and quarter in
2:05 As and 2:04 As, respectively.
But regardless of all this, there was
the indisputable record of Ekky-
only seven races out of the money in
so starts, including three disqualifl-
cations. Nothing in the prepping per-
formance of c. V. Whitney's 7-year-
old chestnut here has served to prove
that he is unsound or has lost any of
the finishing drive which usually put
him on top.
OF course the high impost of 130
pounds may drag him down in a race
where there are plenty of high-claSs
thoroughbredS carrying much less.
And there was that rougish habit of
getting himself into trouble by crowd
ing the rail.
Certainly he will be handled wisely
by Raymond (Sonny) Workman, who
piloted him to most of his important

THEY barely had time to get out
before Ramage was being count
ed out. And, as Lieut.. Comdr
Jess Kenworthy, U. S. NJ, was tolling
the seconds over Ramage's PROSTATE
form, towel sailed in from the Cali
fornian's corner. That made it a
technical knockout, but it was techni-
cal only in a technical sense. Ramage
was carried to his chair.
It was so smooth and so simple the
way Louis did it. His right hand
whizzed out Of nowhere, caught Lee
flush on the chin and dropped him
for nine. The San Diegoan came up,
his glazing eyes riveted on that right.
Louis flashed out with his left to end
the fight.
It was Louis second knockout VIC
tory over Ramage. Some months ago,
in Chicago, they tolled 10 over Lee
before the eighth round ended.

made today.
For with a topheavy field Of at
least 20 entries expected the luck of

An outside position would fit nicely
into the scheme OF things for Equipoise,

For some of the more fleet of the

These facts forth by Mr. William Randolph Hearst from

American people something to think about.
The reason for starvation in Russia Mr. Hearst
pointed out that grain consated and exported by the
Soviet Government in order bolster credit and in order
to pay its army.
Were the Russian people allowed keep what they raise
none need go hungry
But they not allowed to keep it,
They butchered by the thousands for attempting
to keep it.
You will also be interested know that because of this
starvation the United States asked to GIVE its surplus grain
to Russia as humanitarian measure.
It is called upon feed Russians robbed by their own gov

In fact it is called upon by clique of thinkers" in its

Our Well-Dressed Men
By Frank Sullivan

This department refuses to &C
cept as final the list of the ten
best-dressed men in the United
States, recently announced in
New York. We have gone over
the list with a fine-tooth comb,
and there are some things about
it that look mighty, mighty
funny to us.
William Goadby Loew was pro-
nounced best-dreSsed man in the
United States. We have no
doubt that Mr.. Loew dresses
nicely, but we should hesitate to
make the flat statement that he
is the beSt-dreSSed man in the
country as long as Dexter Eel
lows, dean of the Ringing
circus, is still wearing that plaid
overcoat with the collar of un-
born giraffe.
Furthermore, we seem to re-
call that there was an ugly ru-
NOR travelling about the fash
ionable North Shore of Long
Island last summer to the ef-
feet that William Goadby Loew
once, years ago, appeared at a
formal dinner with the wrong
number Of buttons on his waist
coat. The matter was hushed
at the time, but was revived,
probably by envious rivals,
when it became apparent that
Mr.. Loew was a serious con-
tender" in the best-dressed man
race. Of course, this department
could never follow leader with
blot on his past like that.
Therefore. until Mr.. Loew de-
1ies the button rumor, we shall
continue to think that o. o. Nc
1ntyre is a better dressed man
than he.
o. o. is also, to our way of
thinking, a better dressed man
than Conde Mast, although Mr..
Mast made the list and o. o.
didn't. Mr.. Mast made it be-
cause he wears a wine-colored
dinner coat, but on behalf of
Mr.. Mcintyre we ask what Mr..
Mast does when he goes to a big
dinner where they serve wine
in several colorS? Does he meet
that situation adequately? Mr..
Mcintyre does. He has a din
ner coat made in different lay
ers, each layer the color of a
different wine.
No matter how many wines a
gourmet host may spring on Mr..
Mcintyre, he has a layer to
meet the situation. When the

After Century of Neglect

father had been Minister Of
Finance to Joseph Bonaparte.
During the reign of Louis
Philippe, Louis Blanc entered
politics (about 1890 upon the
following program: Equaliza-
ton of wages, abolition of
competition and the merging of
all personal interests for the
common good, or as he eX-
pressed it, ITO everybody &C.
cording to his needs, from
everybody according to his
ability to pay"
Does that begin to sound ia
miliar? But there was a lot
more. The unemployed should
be used in national workshops.
In all fairness to Blanc, who was
no fool, it ought to be stated
that when the national work
shops were finally introduced in
1848 to guarantee work for
every citizen" Blanc was out of
the picture and the whole expert
ment was left to a group of cor
rupt old politicians with the
usual results.
The man at the head, pro-
fessional chemist by the name
of Emile Thomas, was honest
enough, but the whole affair
blew up in muddle of corrup-
tion and disorder. A few rail
road stations in Paris and a few
railroad embankments in France
were built by the workers in the
so-called National Workshops.
They received a franc a day for
their labors. When they worked
only on alternate days, they re-
ceived two francs for a single
days work. But in less than a
years time, the National Work
shops proved such failure that
Thomas was obliged to dismiss
all unmarried men under Is who
refused to accept private en-
ployment or who would not en-
list in the army.
FAILURE
Next the general idleness and
indifference of his charges
forced him to substitute piece
work for time-work. That was
about the last thing to appeal
to those wards of the Nation.
They joined the discontented
element, which was plentiful in a
country ruled by class of peo-
pie of whom one well-informed
contemporary wrote that they
had completely failed to realize
that wealth alone can never
be much of a protection for the
minority which enjoys these
riches, as they are a constant
matter of temptation to the ma
jority that finds itself excluded
from all the good things Of
life"
During the upheaval that led
to the second French revolution,
the National workshops diSap-
peared, never to be revived.
During the next fifty years
they disappeared almost COM
pletely from the memory OF
man. But now, after almost a
complete century of neglect, it
seems that Louis Blanc is at last
coming into his own.
