night, on motion Of its secretary,
w, j. Tucker, reaffirmed a reSolu-
ton adopted last year when the
measure was before Congress, op-
posing the racetrack bill reintro-
duced by Representative Mary T.
Norton, to legalize horse racing in
the District.
In arguing for his resolution.
Mr.. Tucker declared that all kinds
of trickery is pulled off at race
tracks, and cited instances where
horses had been doped and other
wise maltreated to hamper or I'M
prove their running.

dition to the AnacoStia Junior High
School. and an assembly hall at
the Ketcham School, was urged IN

adopted. At the Ketcham School,
the report showed seven higher
classes with an enrolment of over
40, six with over 35, and first and
second grade classes with an aver

Finnan, superintendent of Ma
tional Capital Parks, and urge con-
Struction Of bride path through
Anacostia Park, to eliminate horse
back riding over the golf course.

D. {. GET
ROAD FUND

One Of the recommendations of
the Presidents Fiscal Relations
Committee has won the definite
support of the Washington Board
of Trade, it appeared today.
It is the proposal that the Dis
trict should share proportionately
with the States on all road appro.
priations made by the Federal
government.
The Board Of Trades interest
in this proposition was revealed
today when Senator William H.
King CD of Utah, chairman of
the Senate District Committee. in
troduced a bill to bring this about
and explained that his action was
taken at the request of the Board
of Trade.
The Fiscal Relations Committee
report, in one section, declared
that the District has not received
its equitable share Of the road
funds and recommended that this
situation be remedied.

G. B. J.-Am I going to lose
my job after June s?
Ans: It appears to me that if
these people wished to get rid of

She flirts with him couple of days
or nights in a very harmless man

to her house. While she is in the
process of entertaining him a
heavy knock is heard and in bursts

L. B. J.-Is this party that
have in mind going to do
what he says or is he just try
ing to bait me along?
Ans: T don't believe that he
cares as much for you as he is try
ing to make you believe that he
does. There seems to be two girls
that he is interested in and he
can't make up his mind between
you. Give him a chance to think
the situation over by letting him
alone for a while.
Ell. w. EVIL I be success
full on the trip that I have in
mind?
Ans: You would do much better
if you waited for a while and took
the trip to Washington. You will
get more results.
M. A. J.-Wiii I get the land
that / am thinking about?
Ans: No, for it seems to me you
will not receive the sum of money
that you have been expecting and
you can't purchase the land without
the money.
A. C.-WhOse picture is this
that my friend is carrying
around with him and where did
he get it?
Ans: It is an old picture, before
you two became such good friends
he correspondent with a girl in
Florida, and she sent him this pic
ture. Don't let this affair worry
you for she is a long distance from
you and he is only trying to make
you jealous.
L. D.-Will my husband get
a job when he loses his this
month?
Ans: Yes, but it will be in a diff
ferent line altogether than what he
had this spring. He should begin
right away looking for another job
for it seems to me he will be layed
off within a very short time now.
r. P. VI am going with a
real light cOmplexiOned boy
but am only ginger-cake
brown so to speak. Do you
think that he has matrimOny in
mind. l do know that his par
ents want their children to
marry light skinned people.
Ans: I shouldn't think that the
complexion will have very much to
do with this boys choice when he
decides to get married so don't let
that worry you. He is, however,
two years younger than yourself
and he is not interested in getting
married. Do not allow yourself to
become too fond of him for it will
not make him think any more Of
you.
v. e. B.-Will get by this
spring?
Ans: You will make your grade
and graduate but it will be close
call.
M. W.-PIease tell me if my
husband will return? You were
my best friend when you an
swered a question in the past.
Ans: I cannot contact you and
your husband ever living together
again nor do I believe that he is
living.
E. d. E-Why doesn't my
old boy friend come to see me?
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-03-19

v. C.-WilI my husband and
/ ever own a home?
Ans: Not within the next seven
years for you will have to acquire
the habit of saving. Your husband
and you should begin Immediately
to save a portion Of your income
weekly as you are throwing away
entirely too much money.
M. e. Pr want to know if
/ will win the boy that l want
from my girl friend? Is my
girl friend jealous of me?
Ans: 1t will be a little harder
than you think it will to entice your
girl friends sweetheart as he
thinks a lot of her. No, she isn't
a bit jealous of you but she knows
that you are jealous of her. If you
continue to try to come between
her and this boy you will lose her
friendship.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-03-19
When we fell out he told me

When we fell out he told me
that he would always love me.
Ans: It is quite true, he will al
ways love and respect you but he
will never care to renew the friend
ship that once existed between you
two. He knows that you handed
him a very dirty deal and he will
never date you.

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Staff Correspondent

charge of the Dodgers this year he said he would leave whimsy to Milne, comedy to Cantor the weird to Rohmer, and operate the team with the strict efficiency of a lor- gnette factory. The fact that he has engaged hurling coach to teach baserunning is proof positive that Burleigh was only talking through his whiskers, and that the Dodgers will come forth to meet the enemy next month as daffy as ever.
 An Idea
 At the same time, one is forced to admit that a few sound lessons in hurdling is likely to improve the Dodgers skill in running the bases Hurdlers, as you know, must, learn to leap obstacles. and Brooklyn players are constantly faced by ob- stacles when on the base paths Their obstacles usually take the form of other Brooklyn players who not accustomed to being on base lose their heads.
 The Dodgers could have used a little hurling on that memorable afternoon in 1926 when, with bases loaded and but one out, Babe Her man doubled into double play. Herman ran right on by Chick Fewster who was on first, and slid into third just as Dazzy Vance, who had been on second, also slid into 1t. Had he known hurdling, Herman could have neatly "scissored" over the Dazzler and headed for home.
 Beard, the training camp dispatch said, also would instruct the out fielders how to hurdle after fiyballs. The dispatch didn't say just how much he would teach them, so l suppose it's safe to assume that he will instruct them in the art from beginning to end. The first thing, Of course, will be course in how to come out of the starting pits. This conjures up the charming picture of in their starting holes, waiting for a the Brooklyn outfielders crouched ball to be hit in their direction. l wonder if Manager Grimes, from his seat on the bench will fire a pistol when a ball is hit as a signal for his outflelders to get going? I doubt if he will be allowed to carry a pistol, however, as the temptation to use it on himself sometime during the season might prove irresistible.
 Surprise
 The sight of Brooklyn outfielder (preferably a bearded one) hurdling after a long fly to deep center should be delightful. There will be no actual hurdles in centerfield, of course, but habit will force him to hurdle just the same. From the grandstand the effect will not be unlike that of Texas jackrabbit tearing across the open plain. If the outfielder should reach the ball just as he ,is in the midst of hurdle" many things may result. For perfect hurdling form does not lend itself to catching baseballs. As a hurdler takes a barrier his forward leg should be thrown out parallel to the ground, with just the slightest bend in it, and the other leg should be parallel to the hurdle. And the head and shoulders should be held low, with the arms stretched for ward after the manner of father greeting a prodigal son.
 My guess is that the Brooklyn outfield will be laid up. enmasse, with fractured skulls before the first western trip begins.
