less emphasis on the policing angle, and greater emphasis on the op- orators interest and concern for the proper presentation of the sport. They must comm m n d the belief among the general public that they, the operators, are voluntarily striv- ing to better the conditions of their own business.
 Track operators should realize that the protection and life of their investment depends upon intelli- gent, coordinated approach of their common problems; and that an in- dividualistic attitude, without due regard for their fellow associates, the public, the owners and the horses, will mean destruction.
 "The whole thought simply in wolves the application of accepted business practice that has pre- vailed for years in the industries and professions. The operators must not concede to any group a greater interest in the proper regu- lation of their business than they themselves evidence"

IN oPOAt VI lAiOi illllS in this country is due to take a great step in the right direction when the track operators gather in 1 New York to consider recommenda- tions contained in a resolution pass ed by the National Association of State Racing Commissioners at their August meeting in Detroit 1t was on the strength of the fol- lowing resolution that Walter H Donovan, President of the associa- tion, summoned the operators to the meeting:
 BE IT RESOLVED, that in con- sidering the future and welfare of thoroughbred racing, it is the con- sensus of this meeting that the operators of tracks throughout the country should formulate a plan ot cooperative action, hereby an agency can be created through and by which the problems of racing and racing education can be ap- preached and its security main- tained
 Such an agency would form a nucleus for representation of rac- ing in it's various relations with the general public and this asso- ciation"
 There are many mutual problems in track operation that can be solved by cooperation. It was with this thought that the National As- sociation of Commissioners passed the resolution that the operators should meet and consider the ad- yantages and need for getting to- gether for the good of racing as aaSport natiopa. in scope.
 RACING RIDES HIGH Racing today is riding the crest of popularity" MT. Donovan says. At no time in it's long history has it enjoyed such consideration at the hands of the public This con- sideration not only places upon the operators greater responsibility but gives chance to develop this opportunity to so firmly establish racing as national sport that it will be able to withstand the on- slaught of opposition which always develops in the cycles of human reaction. Now is the time to store up public confidence to draw against when it will be needed.
 Racing presents wholly differ ent picture today, legalized in 2l States, than it did years ago when confined to few States and the concern of only the few who sub sidized and patronized it. The fu- ture of racing depends on it's pro- motion as a national sport, and not upon it's conduct or presenta- tion in any given State or locality The only thing local about racing I is the location of the tracks upon Wh c h meetings are temporarily held, whereas the factors entering into the race are common in near y half the States of the Union. Wherever racing is legalized it constitutes privilege granted by the people of that State. It is not enough that racing concern itself only with those who patronize it. There must be a process of broader appeal to the average citizen. This better understanding is necessary because the privilege of racing is granted by general legislation and not by it's patrons alone.

 The operators should concern themselves with the future welfare of their business. There must be

The Lincoln Memorial, on the other
hand, should be circled to be adequately

when they come to it from the East and
slowly complete the circuit of its four

Points of Vantage.

There are certain points of vantage
from which to see the beauties Of Wash
ington. Motorists, it would seem, are
most likely to be familiar with them, but
pedestrians also probably have discov-
cred them in their peripatetic experience
with the city. An example that may
be cited as being universally appreciated
is that of the Monument as seen inumi-
mated at night through the trees of the
Tidal Basin driveway. Another is the
vista Of Constitution avenue stretching
away to the Southwest from the northern
side Of Capitol Hill-it is reminiscent of
the Champs Elysee In Paris, especially
in the early evening when 1t is yelled in
haze.
But for the most memorable impress
sion OF the dome Of the Capitol itself
one must travel out Pennsylvania avenue
on the road 10 Marlboro and from time
20 time look back. There is a certain
elevation, nameless on ordinary maps.
