ATriple Holiday

IT happens that Labor Day falls on September this
year, this date being also Lafayette Day and the
anniversary of the first Battle of the Marne.
Labor Day, as is well known, is always celebrated
the first Monday in September It was first recog-
nized by Congress in 1894 when an act was passed
making it national holiday for the District Of Co.
umbia and for all federal establishments throughout
the country Prior to this it had been made legal
holiday in twentyseven states and one territory and
it is now recognized in all states and territories
Lafayette Day is not legal holiday, but it is cele
brated in ten states including New York, it being
the anniversary of the birth of General Lafayette the
gallant Frenchman, who SO greatly aided General
became ma jor general in the American Army at the
age of 49,
The first battle of the Marne in which General
Joffre attacked the enemy at dawn on Sunday, Sep
tember 6, 1914 checked the first German advance Of
the World War, and drove back the Kaiser's armies
in six days of terrific fighting after they had
ously threatened to capture Paris.

Our Youthful Founders

EVERY little while something calls our attention
again sharply to the fact that America is young
mans country. What brings it up is an article
about the Constitutional Convention of 1887 pointing
out that the average age of the delegates of the
thirteen colonies who met in Philadelphia $50 years
ago and laid the foundations of government
what we, nowadays, would call very young men, Their
average age only AZ years.

they were educated men. In an era when not one in

their trust.
Those young men did good job The government
they planned has lasted longer and brought greater
measure of good to greater number OF people than
any other government ever set up anywhere any time

Recovery is World Wide

THE economic council of the League of Nations re-
ports that the world has so far recovered from
the universal collapse of eight years ago that every
nation is In better economic condition than was be-
fore the crash. That is good news which is to some
extent confirmed by the report of the W. P A. that
l,5OOOOO workers have stepped out from under Uncle
Sans protective shelter to take jobs in private indus
try, in the past year.
There are still more than million and half de-
pendent upon this method of distributing public
funds, for their livelihood and still more receiving
other forms of relief There must be found some bet
ter way of taking of people who can't take care

Harry Hopkins w. P. A. Administrator, has said
that relief is here to stay. Many W. P A. workers
have acted if they expected to make life career
out of being supported by the government We hope
neither of these things comes to pass.

A ssIGNED to avense the wyo. \ ming and Cherry Valley rnas- saeres of the year before, Maj. Gen. John Sullivan headed into the unknown Indian country of the powerful Iroquois early in the summer of l779. Starting from the battered little Pennsylvania town of Wyoming (Wilkes-B ), the expedition consisted of 230o men, short of clothing, ammuni- ton and food.
 Ahead of them lay the vast lro- quois empire, comprising North Central and Western Pennsyl- vania, and 20 of the richest coun- ties of New York--a great un. charted area, ambushed praeti- cally every mile of the way. The Iroquois was the strongest of In. dian nations and was backed, moreover, by the British residing in Canada, Detroit and the west crn part of New York.
 On Aug. 20, near the present site of Elmira, W. r., General Sul- livan successfully turned an 1n- dian attempt at ambush into real battle and emerged a gallant vic- tor. Thereafter the Iroquois were pursued across the state and back until only one town was left in the entire nation. Sullivan de. stroyed crops, villages and tribes men. He returned east in October after one of the most decisive campaigns In revolutionary his- tory.
 His work knocked the Iroquols out of the war and demoralized British plans for a western offen- Sive. General Sullivan Is shown on a commemorative stamp issued in 1929 on the l50th anniversary of his campaign.

Bill to Legalize
Horse Racing
Wins FdUOr

Legislation to legalize horse rae
ing in the District appeared today
to have a clearer track this session
of Congress than it had last ses-
sion when it died in a District sub
committee.
Representative Vincent L. Palmi-
sano CDO, of Maryland, chairman
Of the subcommittee which killed
the legislation last session, said
today that he will not oppose the
measure this year if it is revised
so as not to give the proposed Dis
trict track any unfair advantage"
over the Maryland tracks.
House Soon to Get Bill
Although a bill to legalize pari-
mutuel betting at race tracks here
has not yet been introduced, it is
known that the measure soon will
be dropped in the House hopper,
and that a vigorous campaign will
be carried on to have it approved.
The measure sponsored last year
by Representative Mary T. Nor
ton CD, of New Jersey, chairman
Of the House District Committee,
proposed that racing be allowed
here not more than 80 days q year
and that the District take 10 per
cent of the total amount which
went through the mutuel ma
chimes.
Representative Palmisano today
declared that what he objected
to in that measure was that it
allowed too many days Of racing
there are 100 days Of racing al
lowed at the four major tracks in
Maryland, and that the proper
ton of revenue it gave the Dis
trict was not enough, since in
Maryland the State gets $4,000 a
day from each track for each day
of racing and l per cent Of the
amount which goes through the
mutuel machines.
Revenue Needed
During the hearings on the bill
last year, Walter O'Hara. opera
tor of the track at NarraganSett
Park, r. l., said he proposed to
build a track in the District equal
to any other in the country, if the
legislation permitting racing was
enacted. He told the Subcommit-
tee he did not particularly care
whether or not the legislation was
passed, as he did not look on it
from the financial angle, but
purely as a means Of promoting
"the sport of kings"
It has been pointed out by
other members Of the House Dis.

galization of horse racing in the
District would bring in an addi
tional $1,000,000 in revenue an
nually. He added that with the
deficit facing the District this
would be one means Of reducing
that deficit.
