JOCKEY IN GRAVE,
MOUNT IS RETIRED
Rode From Nowhere to Big
Success on Cavalcade,
"The Gentleman"
BY GRANTLAND RICE.


9.-Mack Garner died just a
little while ago and Cavalcade
IL has been retired to the stud.
Thus the last chapter has been writ
ten in the thrilling story of jockey
who rode back from nowhere On a
great horse.
In 1884 Mack Garner was a little
old man of the saddle. He had been
o winning jockey over a long span of
years-but he had lost his grip. He
couldn't get even the good horses
down in front any more. He was
washed up, they said around the race
tracks from Saratoga to Hialeah.
Twenty years he'd ridden the horses
platers and stake horses, from the
leaky roof tracks to Churchill Downs
and Belmont Park.
Racing was in his blood. His great
grandfather and his grandfather had
been jockeys in Ireland. His father
was a noted jockey in the Middle
West. Four brothers ahead of him
had been race riders. Now, after 20
years of it, he was through. Trainers
who might have given him mounts
gave them to younger jockeys
jockeys who hadn't lost their grip.
Now and then he got a mount, of
course. But only when some other
jockey had turned it down. He was
through. That's what nearly every
body thought.

Windels to Leave Larg.
est Legal Practice
in World.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

~ ET1RING at the end Of the
u year from what has been de-
IN scribed, probably with accu-
a y racy, as the largest legal prac-
tice in the world, Paul Windels, corpo-
ration counsel of the City of New
York, will return to private practice.
In period of treasury balances de-
pleted by depression, the Windels de-
partment of city service rose with skill
and ardor to the supply Of much-need-
ed cash, and, on the other hand, saved
New York some such sum as sl9,-
600 900 outlay in condemnation pro-
ceedings over four-year period. Dig
ging records of unfinished business
out of forgotten files, the corporation
| counsel breathed life into the cases 40
effectually as to supply considerable
hard cash to the Metropolitan Golfers.
Born in Brooklyn in 1885 and gradu-
| ated from Columbia University in
| 1908, MI. Windels entered the Brook
lyn Law School, taking the degrees
of bachelor of laws and doctor of
jurisprudence. He was admitted to
| the bar in 1910 and for many years en-
| joyed lucrative private practice until
called to public life. Mr.. Windels is
married and has four children.
Sixteen years ago, Herman Rosenz-
/ weig emigrated to the United States
from Rumania Coming from family
Of tailors. he himself, aged 18. was 4
tailor. He married and settled down
| In Brooklyn, and now he has four
children, ranging in age from to IL.
His scheme of life has been simple,
and since he is fond of simple things,
he enjoys very much the routine he
has hit upon. Ambition? Yes, he was
ambitious; he was ambitious to be
good tailor more, 1t would appear,
fpm technical satisfaction. pride Of
accomplishment. than through love Of
gain.
The other day, one John Kirkman,
who lives across the street, brought in
a suit for pressing. Searching the
pockets, as was his wont, for objects
which might interfere with perfect
pressing, Herman discovered wallet
containing 1888 in bills. Hurrying
at once to his patrons apartment, he
returned the wallet and contents, re-
ceiving in turn an assurance that the
customer was much obliged"
Discovered later at his sewing bench.
Herman said he was quite satisfied
with nothing more tangible than oral
gratitude. He was always finding
money III clothes. he said, and once
he found diamond "as big as an
apple" in the dress Of the wife of q
Flatbush dry goods merchant. That
merchant, whose name Herman has
forgotten, requited the tailor by out
fitting his eldest daughter for a year.
But, as rule. hearty thank you"
is all he receives by way of reward.

interests of Italy, Germany and Japan,
by undermining the governments OF
other countries, boring from within,
has already made serious headway in
Brazil. Brazil furnishes a beautiful
example of the technique which the
Fascintern employs, and is worth some
careful attention from all countries
which may be the next victims.
Brazil is a Federation OF seven
States. 1t has a population Of about
44,OO0,000, of whom some three-fifths
are native born. The others are i'm
migrants. almost entirely from coun-
tries already fascistic-Portugal. Italy.
Spain, Germany and Japan.
Germany Nurtures Colony.
The German population is chiefly
concentrated in two southernmost
States, Santa Catherine and Rio
Grande do Sui. These German COLO
nies have always been carefully nursed
by Germany, since long before Hitler's
time, and numerous towns are exclu-
sively German, and. indeed, speak
only, or chiefly, German. They have
been kept so by subsidized schools, sub
sidized patriotic societies. and teachers
and professors sent out from the faith
erland.
A correspondent Of the London
Times recently described how Nazi
Germany has exploited this to the ut
most with propaganda. drilling, and,
Of course. espionage among the Ger
mans themselves, to find out who were
loyal Nazis and who were not. Be-
ginning by nazifying all Germans. the
process Is then extended to the rest
OF the population. so that today in
Blumenau and Porto Allegro, chief
towns Of the two states, not only the
citizens of German ancestry. but most
Of the rest Of the younger population
belong to the Hitler Youth" Their
oath of allegiance Is renewed every
two months.
Festivities are staged in the Nazi
manner and every winter contributions
to the winter relief are obligatory.
Half Of the amount collected goes to
Germany! The rest remains in Bra
zl-in the hands Of the local Nazi
agents.
= Foes Blacklisted.
The Nazi organizations blacklist
from business and society all groups
hostile to Nazism. And the father
land is making determined efforts to
double the German population in
Brazil. German ships calling at Bra
lillian ports are instructed to take
aboard prospective mothers, so that
their children, who would otherwise
be Brazilian citizens, may be born
under the German flag. Prizes are
offered for large German families, and
the same racial doctrines preached In
Germany are preached there.
The proclaimed unity Of the three
Fascist powers and their collaboration
on common program simply means
that what the Germans have already
done so successfully among their ma

tionals and among Brazilians OF Ger
man descent may now be undertaken
by the Italians, the Japanese, possibly
the Portuguese and, II Franco wins in
Spain, by the Spanish. II the process
is not stopped the result can be one of
three things-chaos or Fascism or
civil war.
Nor is the news from Russia quiet
ing for other governments. After
several years in which the Com
munist International has been kept
fairly quiet by Moscow because Of
the desire Of the Russian government
to make common front with demo-
cratic, or at least non-Fascist coun-
tries. the latest dispatch from Rus
sia seems to indicate that the Com
intern will again become aggressive.
And, Of course, its program sis the
same as the Fascist-to intervene
through sympathetic working-class
groups in the internal affairs Of other
countries.
Follows Russian Policy.
Any one who has followed the poll
cies Of the Comintern must be aware
Of how cynically opportunistic it is.
1t trims the sails of its program to the
winds Of Russian foreign policy, is for
war against liberals today and for CO.
operation with them tomorrow, pre-
cisely as fits the Russian needs.
Daily it is being demonstrated that
democracies, parliamentary or con-
stitutional governments. have totally
inadequate defenses against this kind
OF attack. Civil liberties are being
exploited not only by those who once
In power would destroy them, but by
the openly declared agents of foreign
powers. The German government at
Stuttgart declared officially through
the German Foreign Minister that it
intended to organize its German groups
everywhere, including the United States,
precisely as they have been organized
in Brazil. We find it difficult to be-
heve. We find it impossible to take
seriously. But Is 1t not also impossible
to believe in undeclared wars? In
sudden unannounced assaults on
women and children?
Back to Barbarism.
In q world which has the outer
accoutrements of civilization 1t is
profoundly difficult to believe in a
worldwide recrudescence of organized
barbarism. Yet that is exactly what
We are seeing Civilization is not
technology, science. schools, roads, or
ganization.
Civilization is complex of codes
of behavior. Of silent assumptions, of
respect for law, and Of the sense of
law-law written and unwritten. on
the books, and in mems minds. Civili-
Zation Is the sum Of traditions, of
carefully nurtured inhititions, Of per-
sonal and social standards. Of ethical
and religious principles, of loyalties to
such distractions as truth, kindness,
chivalry, generosity.
Hitherto these principles have not
been wholly suspended, even in times
Of war! Even in times Of war, some
lip-service. at least. has been given
TO them. Even in times OF war, it has
been against more than conventional
codes to bomb to death children
Even in times Of war, the spy has not
stomached his role
For even in times of war, men have
remembered that some day there may
be peace. And that unless some REM
nant of civilized inhibitions is left,
there can be no peace.
