DerbyHoA
Is Sports
Firmest

Timea Sports Editor

Along around the fag end Of
the week they will hold the
62nd running of the Kentucky
Derby down along the flats Of
} the Ohio River in the rambling
enclosure with far-flung grand
stands, which is Churchill
Downs.
Together with the October
World Series, the Kentucky
Derby is one of the sports
spectacles of the ages which
causes more people to pause in
rapt attention, than any of the
brilliant competitive sports which
dot the nation from the front end
Of the calendar to the back.
Concentrated Interest
In making so broad a statement,
I do not mean to detract from the
vital interest in such major issues
as the Army-Navy football game
or those involving Notre Dame.
Princeton, Southern California,
Harvard, Alabama, or Yale.
Every one of these football
teams and dozens of others in the
same category have thousands OF
followers. But gridiron interest
spreads over 10 feaveriSh weeks,
Just as the World Series spreads
across four, five, six or seven days.
But for universal sport interest
in America and for general inter
national Indulgence over a period
OF less than three minutes on a
given day, I offer you the Ken
lucky Derby, and I drink 1t in a
toast of mellowed rye diluted with
a lump Of sugar, the oil of bruised
mint in Q tall glass about three
quarters filled with janglng
crushed ice, 'leveled to the brim
with sparkling spring water.
Two Of the Very Best
The best julep, therefore, and
the best horse race the country
provides! One recipe is mine,
the other that Of Col. Matt VIM,
the paunchy general manager OF
Americas most hallowed race
ground-moSt certainly wherein
the common folk are concerned.
Perhaps Saratoga is bit more
swanky, but from bootblack to
banker, Churchill Downs is a
byword this time of year, whereas
Saratoga belongs more to the
upper strata of our social and
sportive fabric.
Now, to do away with the
flourishes regarding this mighty
turf event, let us get down to
some solid facts thereof. These
will not include an estimate Of the
best horse in the race or even the
ultimate winner.
Backed up in a corner, how.
ever, with a gun in either bracket
of ribs, I wouldn't hesitate to
say that the victor should be
among these five: Brevity, Gran
vile, Banister, Ned Reign and
Grand Slam.
Not Run on q Press
This year Brevity has been the
winter book favorite which
doesn't particularly mean that he
will win, because only %, or
slightly less than half Of such
favorites, have won this great
classic.
In other words, the Kentucky
Derby is run on a piece OF mile
and a quarter track, not on a
printing press where winter books
must be run. But this mythical
volume is a very strong indicar
ton of the way the wind is blow
ing as well as to how the horses
will probably race, and it's as good
a barometer of the Kentucky
Derby as any that comes to mind.
The Derby is not like regatta
I once attended where the races
were won in a hat. It seemed
, there were two days Of motor boat

". T. MASON RECOVERING
FROM OPERATION

Mr.. William T. Mason, of this city,
returned on Wednesday last from JEFF
ferson Hospital, Philadelphia, where
he underwent a rather unusual opera
ton which was successfully and skill
fully performed.
Mr.. Mason, while erecting wire
fence, was holding in his mouth the
staples generally used for that pur-
opse, when, suddenly coughing, ne
swallowed one of the U-shaped nails.
Fortunately, it descended into the in
terror with its sharp ends pointing up.
He went Immediately to the hospital
at Salisbury where pictures were TAX
en- and the staple located. He was
advised to continue on to Philadel-
phia where specialist in such cases
could be secured.
The piece of wire was again seen
by pictures and steps taken to extract
it. Before this could be done, it had
to be reversed in its position and the
hook of a specially made instrument
inserted through the throat in the
bend when it was slowly withdrawn.
Miraculously, Mr.. Mason received
no puncture, and experienced no sew
ere discomfort before the staple was
withdrawn. He is now recovering,
and can be congratulated on his good
fortune.

But all power that men have invented. all that

heard in war is nothing compared with the real
power which is not seen, not felt, has no size,

To that invisible power we owe all that we

Journeys
SCENIC BEAUTY

The travel movement is on in
full swing, with people from diff
ferent sections of the country
visiting and having a good time.
Fortunate are those who elect to
travel to the West, for there are
few places on earth where there
is more beauty and more diversity
of scenery.
AGAINST backgrounds con-
tributed by nature, man has con-
trived all manner of feteS and
celebrations with something for
everybody. If the traveller arrives
too late for the famous rose fest1-
val at Portland, Ore, then it may
be that he will be in time to vlSlt
Santa Barbara where the OLD
Spanish days fiesta, held early IN
August, is all its name implies.
Plays, music, dancing and cos,

new beauty and charm to this
charming California coastal city.
Shortly later, walla Walla in
Washington will hold a celebra-
ton to honor the memory Of
Whitman, the pioneer missionary
who was killed by Indians.
The following month Pendleto1,
Ore, will hold its famous round,
up, three days of excitement and
interest. If there are youngsters in
the party, they will witness such
sights, such thrills, that Pendleton
will be q high spot with them for,

Tax Burden Goes Up

That you don't need to increase old impose
to take money out of the citizens pocket
to support his is shown in the report of Tax
Collector Chatham Towers collections made by his
department of the District during the last fiscal year
LOCAL TAX COLLECTIONS DURING THE FISCAL
YEAR WHICH ENDED IN JUNE INCREASED BY
MORE THAN A MILLION AND A QUARTER DOL
LARS OVER THE COLLECTIONS IN THE PRE-
VIoUS YEAR.
This despite the fact that there additional
taxes levied in the last year and increases in the
existing tax rates.
It is interesting to note that this increase
Of the local government not considered in the report
recently submitted to Congress which showed that Wash
ngtonians bearing heavier per capita local tax
burden than the citizens Of any comparable city
And still the District Commissioners insist upon plan
ming schedule of local taxes and increases in
Of the existing levles!
The report of Mr. Towers showing the increased
nues which the District last year took from its resi-
dents just at the time when the Commissioners
putting to work their special committee of appointed
officials on new taxation
IT SHOULD PROMPT THE MEMBERS OF THAT
COMMITTEE TO REPORT TO THE COMMISSION
ERs THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR FURTHER
SOAKING THE DISTRICT TAXPAYER
Members of that committee might UeU tell the
Commissioners JUhGt those gentlemen already should
ku0U, that revenues from existing taxes are going
up and that all that the city needs to preserve its
financial condition is to cut dOUn a little on er-
penditUres.
They might also inform the Commissioners that
another for refusing to recommend additional
local taxes is that such recommendation would be
grossly unjust in view of the totally unfair attitude
which the Federal Government is taking of its oblga
tion to assist the National Capital financially
District residents in the next few years will be hit
together with all citizens of the country with additional
Federal taxes to pay for spending of the Roosevelt ad
ministration.
They shouldn't be hit with additional local taxes at
the same time.

Round
By HELEN ROWLAND

Something ought to be done
to make the world safe for elope-
mentS!
Every now and then we hear
Of some movie queen or some
follies girl who has "eloped"-or
is planning to elope, or threaten
ing to elope.
"Elope" from WHOM? From
where-and WHY?
That's the greatest problem of
a romantic girls life these days.
Not, how or with whom to elope
but to find somebody to elope
FROM!
Of course, she COULD go down
to the club or the office or the
golf links, and drag father home,
and make him stay there long
enough for the boy friend to
bring around a ladder and stage
a runaway" But, somehow,
that seems to lack the flavor.
There's no point to it!
Or she NIGHT keep mother
home from Paris or Florida or
the bridge club, or the shops or
the beauty parlor, long enough
to put over back-door sneak
at midnight, and a Gretna Green
wedding.
But, it is doubtful if she could
induce them to restrain their ex-
presSions Of relief and pleasure
sufficiently to play the heavy
parent and give the elopement a
little kick.
