WAR. ADMIRAL
IFAVORITE IN
63RD RUNNING
BY HENRY McLEMORE

CHURCHILL ID y w N s i,
Louisville, May 8. (UP)-
Money. talks! Today half a
million dollars was ready to
talk in no uncertain terms on the
63rd running of the Kentucky Der
by.
Fully half of that-$250,O00 in
cold cash-went for but one
name-"War Admiral.
The little son of big Red, sired
by old Man O'War himself for
Derby going, was the favorite that
charmed the crowd of 10000 that
began gathering at the Downs this
morning not long after sunrise.
He was the No. 7 hoss in the
post positions-the No. hoss in
the derby betting. He had only to
break away from all trouble, hit
his stride, run his race, and pick
up his dough, or SO a majority of
the experts decreed.
Clear skies promised fast track.
But there were 10 other horses
in the derby field whose hackers
were convinced that War Admiral
would not get afl of these breaks
in his favor-a clean start, wing
ing race, and a decisive derby
triumph.
There were many who believed
that Mrs. Ethel Mars, who makes
candy bars with her right hand
and thumbs winners to the post
with her left, had the winning
combination in the powerful entry
of Reaping Reward and Military.
Reaping Reward can run fast,
Military can run far. Between
them they may hold the magic
combination that will whipsaw lit
tie War Admiral to defeat.

acid, DR.. Pardo- CASTILLO, to my sur
prise, has gone back to the Old-fash-
toned Whitfield's ointment, COM
bined with fractional doses of x
ray. The ointment should be rubbed
into the nails with a stiff brush,
and the dressing kept in place with
adhesive plaster.
Another form of infection is due
to yeasts. These, different from
the ringworm infections, are wet:
there is a weeping emulation, and
also the skin around the nail is
likely to be involved. Housewives.
dishwashers and washerwomen are
particularly likely to be involved
for natural reasons. The diseased
patches usually begin at the edge
Of the nail plate and burrow under
it, appearing as creamy or oval
white patches. The treatment is
the same as for ringworm, but, the
use Of sodium perborate, made into
a paste with a few drops Of water
and thoroughly worked under the
nail fold with a cotton tipped
toothpick, can be used as a variant.
Simple pus infection Of the skin
around the nail - paronychia - is
the second commonest form Of nail
infection. It can be seen on ex-
animation of such a nail that the
skin is involved first and the nail
only secondarily. There is redness
Of the skin, and on pressure it is
almost always possible to squeeze
out a little pus from around and
under the skin edges. Injury, as
with splinters, Is usually the real
origin.
Treatment with various antisep-
tics is the best. Wet saturated
boric acid dressings in the acute
stage, usually clear these disagree
able affairs up and prevent I'M
slightly deformities.
Manicurists should be trained to
be on the lookout for these tnfec-
lions and especially to use steril-
lied instruments before and after
contact with them. In fact, too
hearty naanicuring Is often the
cause Of the last named type
paronychia.

The declarer now played a club,
which West won with the A and
returned another club. After CASH
ing his remaining clubs, the de-
claTer was in quandary as to just
which way to take the diamond
finesse, as his failure to guess it
correctly would mean defeat. He
guessed wrong, feeling that West
was more likely to hold the dia-
mond Q than East.
There was greater chance that
East held the diamond Q than
West, as the original heart lead
showed West with six hearts. He
had also shown up with two spades
and three clubs, leaving him with
only two diamonds and only one if
he held the spade. The finesse for
