LOUISVILLE, KY, May 10, WR)-
My selection, Military, ran fifteenth
in the Kentucky Derby, but if you
expect me to be apologetic today,
to put on my double breasted sack
cloth and ashes, you are sadly mis-
taken.
As a matter of fact l am likely
to be a bit arrogant, lift my three
chins even higher in the air, and
do a bit of Strutting because l
think Military'S running fifteenth
stamped me with hallmark Of great
ness as a judge of thoroughbred
horSeflcsh
If you disagree, please consider
this: The last horse census, made
by men of much common census
showed that there we're 4326,407
horses in the world. That's quite
a few horses. isn't it? Yet l, sitting
in a hotel room, and with nothing
more substantial for inspiration
than a headache, chose from that
number a horse capable of finish
ing no worse than fifteenth in one
of the worlds great races,
Think of the work involved in
reading through a list of 4,326,407
horses! And I not only had to
read the nameS-I had to trace
the blood lines. I had to follow
the red corpuScleS through dams
and sires, foalS and colts, geldings,
stations, mares, brood mares, fillieS,
Whinnies. fetlocks, and Withers.
had to climb so many horse family
trees that I still have the swinging
gait OF a three-toed sloth.
So you see, l didn't do badly in
naming Military. And l might
have done even better had Military's
jockey used better strategy. Mill
tary's ancestry all were army peo-
pie His great-great-g great
9randfather-Arthur p Edwards by
'name-hauled a cannon in the Revo-
lutionary war. His grandfather by
two less greats was one of the
standout horses in the war of 1872.
On his mothers side the genealogi
cal line inclu1es Red Cross nurses,
sock knitters, and Liberty Bond
statesmen.
Had his jockey, one Charley Cor
bett, known this, he might well
have brought him home in front
in the Derby What Military need
ed to spur him on was not the
crack of a whip on his hide, but
the rear of artillery in his ears.
When he began to lag behind War
Armiral, Corbett should have fired
trench mortar, broken out the
stars and stripes, and yelled:

Incidentally, that word "charga'

''English Horn, Not 4 Horn

In spite of its name, the English

ment, is not a horn at all 1t is a
''wood-wind" instrument, observes
q writer in Pearson's London Week
ly. Other wood-winds are the clar-

horns of the orchestra are the
''brasSes," such as the cornet, trum-

A high forehead is not always

PIiny's Panther Story

Pliny's story about the panther
was: Philinus, a philosopher, saw
a panther lying in the road, evident
Iy waiting for some one to pass.
He tried to go around the animal,
but the panther headed him of,
rolled over on its back to attract
his attention, and showed signs Of
grief. When he attempted to draw
away, the animal fixed her claws in
his garment, evidently desiring him
to follow her. When at last he rec
ognized what she wanted he fol-
lowed her and she led him to a
pit into which her cubs had fallen.
Moved by pity, he helped the young
ones out, and the happy mother
showed her joy and gratitude by

Vibration of Bridge Is
Principally Up and Down

AhASAPdAAy Up anu Town
The International Encyclopedia
states that the action of a suspen-
sion bridge is that of rope span
ming between supports; for any load
ing it finds the appropriate curve of
equilibrium and is stable in that
position. But as the adjustment to
varying position of load results from
change or curve, the roadway hung
from the cable also distorts, that is,
the bridge is very flexible. Longi-
tudinal stiffening trusses are there
fore used, their stiffness preventing
any but slight distortion under To-
Called loading. The vibration would
therefore be chiefly up and down,
because of the pull Of the load on
the cables.
1t is a fact that a comparatively
small force, applied at regular in
tervals under favorable circum-
stances, will occasionally set I'D
considerable oscillation in suspen-
sion bridge, and experts have testi-
ned that few soldiers marching
over a long bridge in regular step
might produce more vibration than
q whole regiment out of step. A
suspension bridge in France broke
down in 1850 as the result of the
vibration caused by AIT soldiers
marching in step, plus the great
weight of the soldiers,

The existence Of chromium as an

emily in 1898 by Louis Nicolas Vau-

roth. Many years passed, however,
before the free metal was isolated
from its compounds, and even then
it could be produced only in minute
quantities and in an impure state.
1t was not until about 1900 that
chemical technology had advanced
sufficiently to permit the production
of the metal in commercial quanti-
ties.
