PITING ex-wives by spending
years behind prison bars for
non-payment of alimony is not
- a popular post-divorce pastime
of ex-husbands in Washington, as it
appears to be elsewhere.
No grass -widower in the District Of
Columbia has ever regarded the aus
tere interior of the Washington Asy-
lum and Jail for more than 80 days,
purging himself Of a charge Of con-
tempt of court for being in arrears
on alimony, according to Thomas D..
OFT. chief deputy marshal.
The so-called Alimony Club Of New
York, known in Official argot as the
Ludlow Street Jail, where a number
of the citys most consequential citi-
zens have watched as many Winters
come and go without being permitted
outdoors to toss single snow ball,
has no counterpart in Washington.
The difference in divorce laws and
conditions under which alimony is
granted is accountable. OFT says.
When a judge Of the District Su-
preme Court undoes the work of the
churchman or justice of the peace
who made couple one, by making
them two again, alimony is allowed
after exhaustive inquiries concerning
the mans ability to pay, and is read
lily reduced by court order II his
income dwindles.
Vindictiveness, therefore, Is said to
be the stimulus propelling ex-husbands
into automobiles for the long ride
down to the Eastern Branch Of the
Potomac to speEd few weeks indoors.
Il won't pay her cent, jail or no
JAIL" is the commonest statement
heard outside court chambers. But
of every 100 convicted of contempt
only about 5 serve the sentence, vary
ing from is days to 3 months.
A THOUGH the delinquent provider
= is given at least two clear days in
which to liquidate his debt, he usually
manages to find the money the same
day. According to Miss Eleanor Jobe,
motions clerk, one man recently pro-
duced $3.50 20 minutes after commit
ment by use of the nearest telephone
booth. A District policeman, appar-
emily under the impression padlocks
had no terrors for him, changed his
mind and found $40 for his erstwhile
bride during the lunch hour.
Another ex-husband, who moved to
Alexandria Ito get away from the
clutches of the marshal" according to
the wording of his former mates COM
plant, coming to town only under
cover Of the night" finally did turn
at the jail despite his precautions.

he is being prosecuted, often lie case

WEAR by year, in fact, the Ken
lucky Derby field just about rep
resents the survival of the f1ttest. Oi
the hundreds of youngsters in train
ing, only 102 had been named for this
years race when the nominations
closed on February 20, and if fifth
of these start that breath-taking
parade from the paddock Saturday it
will be surprise.
The dust, perhaps, mas long since
claimed the first chronicler of the
Kentucky Derby, who set down this
account with prophetic vision in the
Louisville Courier Journal of Monday
May II, as eager, excited horse-lovers
turned to the Jockey Club. which was
making its bow that afternoon:
To-day will be historic in Kentucky
annals as the first Derby day of what
promises to be long series of annual
turf festivities which we confidently
expect our grandchildren, hundred
years hence, to celebrate in glorious
centennial rejoicings, because the
president hopes to make this a du-
plicate for the gerat English turf
event. Gan adjoining column carried
an account of the English Derby)
Yesterday the races were the all
absorbing topic of conversation, spec
ulation and discussion. In the hotel
corridors and clubs, around the din
upon the streets and through all the
city, the never-ending, incessant and
lways-interesting theme had the
ascendancy in the minds of the people.
"The clatter of hoofs as the coursers
fled around the track laid in the
Imagination of many church-goer,
and drowned the solemn harmonies
Of the organ, while the words of the
preacher fell unheard upon many
GStleSS ears.
1T was, of course, to be regretted
in this instance that Sunday imme-
diately preceded Monday in the eternal
calendar of things, for it were better
that the thoughts of secular pleasures
at hand should not so much engross
the rambling thoughts of the world
upon the Sabbath.
Next Sunday, however, the inaugu-
ration of the Louisville Jockey Club
Spring races will have made its his
tory and the clergymen of the city
may expect more attentive congrega-
tions."
Ten thousand fans went out to
Churchill Downs that afternoon and
saw the Derby band off at the boom
of Col. w. H. Johnson's starting
drum. Carrying 100 pounds, and
with o. Lewis up, the little red horse
Aristides, owned by H. P. McGrath.

= OMEWHERE around o'clock
next Saturday afternoon the
~ high-pitched notes of bugle
will cut sharply into the roar
OF milling thousands at Churchill
Downs; the band will swing into MY
Old Kentucky Home" and it will be
post time for the sixty-second renewal
of the Kentucky Derby, grail of all
horsemen, and so far as large part
of the adult population is concerned,
the greatest sports spectacle in this
country.
Among the thousands in the ex-
cited, colorful throng will be scores
of Washingtonians whose less fortu-
nate fellowtownsmen will find sub
stitue for attendance at the race in
listening to its story pouring out OF
numberless radio loud speakers.
Ever since that bright May day in
1875 when Is sleek 3-year-olds
charged away from the barrier at the
old Louisville Jockey Club in the first
running, the race has held a COM
manding place. 1t is not the Oldest
stake in America half dozen are
as rich or richer, but as a drawing
card-there is only one Derby. Just
let a 2-year-old show something,
from Saratoga on, and it is likely
Derby prospect" even though the
Kentucky classic is still the best part
of a year away. If more argument
were needed to evidence the place it
holds in the affection of those who
follow the turf, what better than the
recent graceful gesture OF j. E.
Widener, master of Hialeah, in an
nouncing that the Florida Derby, a
principal feature of the Winter racing
season, would be no more? Hereafter
it will be called The Flamingo."
There is, he explained, only one Derby.
And those who will can cavil be-
cause the diStance-a mile and a
quarters 2 furlongs short of the
"true" Derby route; that the early
Spring date keeps out some competi-
tors that are slow in rounding to
form and is a particular handicap
to the distaff side. There have been
quite a few Derby winners that have
demonstrated conclusively later on
their victory was no fluke and that
they could whip anything on four legs,
for money, marbles or chalk. Sir
Barton, Gallant Fox and Omaha took
the Derby, Preakness and Belmont,
the triple crown" of American
racing, in stride. Burgoo King won
Derby and Preakness, and there ape
a lot of spectators still willing to
argue that the brilliant Cavalcade
was a whisker in front of his stable
mate, High Quest, in the Preakness
of 1884 after winning the Derby, al
though High Quest got the judges
nod. There have been others equally
illustrious And the breaks of the
game inevitably have seen some end
ing their days on the leaky-roof cir
cult with that thrilling May day tri-
umph the lone splash of color in an
otherwise drab career.

etableS show little change in
their prices. The figures were
quoted by chain store buyers and

NO COP. CHANCE SEEN

On the Republican side there is no prospect that tactics will change. MT. Landon now is thoroughly com- mitted to the road; the front porch campaign advocated by some of his friends no longer is possibility, even if it were deemed advisable. A change of this stage would be in terpreted widely as a retreat.
 Regarding MT. Roosevelt, opinions differ That he will make some purely political speeches, and him. self label them as such, seems cer- tain. There are those who think 1t will be long until he answers un- reservedly the call to which he has responded so often before, and abandons the oblique approach for the direct. elr

CONSUMPTION
 OF SALMON IS
 TO BE BOOSTED
Systematic Advertising Ex- plains Great Food
 Qualities of Fish

A study of Government statistics cn food consumption reveals that the eating habits of Americans are constantly changing, according to G. P. Halferty President of Pioneer Canneries, Inc. Causes of the con- tinual change are the American desire for something new, the eI- fects of advertising, and the influ- ence of new information bout nutrition and adequate diet being constantly presented to consumers through the pages of leading news papers, magazines and flood of new books, he believes.
 Tn general, it appears that meats and starches are losing ground to variety of fruits, vegetables, and juices" Halferty says. This basic trend is illustrated by the fact that per capita meat consumption fell from 1892 pounds in 1909 to only 1850 pounds on five-year average of the years 1929 to 1853. Wheat flour consumption fell from 222.2 pounds per capita in 1899 to 157.8 pounds in 1884 Potatoes showed decline from 2l78 pounds in 1899 to 184.8 pounds in 1882
 Canned Goods Increase
 Canned vegetables, on the other hand, increased almost three fold from 1899 to 1881. In the former year consumption was only 1O.3 pounds while in 1881 the figure was 284 pounds. Oranges gained from 6.69 pounds in 1899 to PATIO pounds annually for the period 1928-32.
 Fresh vegetables also have shown a considerable increase in recent years. Celery showed gain from 314 pounds in 1922 to 6.12 pounds annually for the period 1928-32. Spinach too gained for this period. In 1922 the figure for spinach was 124 pounds and at the end of this period it had increased to 2.42 pounds" ~
 Boost Salmon
 Halferty declared that lack of active promtion of food products, regardless of the nutritive value of the particular food has resulted either in a downward trend, as in the case of apples which fell before the active promotion of citrus and other fruits from 1869 pounds in 1899 to 675 pounds in 1881, or to a continued low rate of consump- ton as in the case of canned sal mon which has remained on level at little over two pounds for many years.
 Understanding Campaign
 Last spring the Canned Salmon Industry launched national ad- vertising and merchandising cam paign to draw greater attention to Alaskas Canned Salmon and in- , crease consumption of the product to the end that inroadS made into the sale of the Territory's chief food product by cheaper varieties of fish caught in other sections, and processed by cheaper labor may be resisted.
