Authority on Child
Care Is Now Father
Man Who Advised Others Has
Chance at 81 Years of Age
to Take Own Advice

White-haired Bertrand Russell,
who is well known in England for
his unique views on sex, martial re-
lations, how to bring up children
and international affairs, was pretty
proud this week after becoming a
father at the age of 81.
I'm very pleased-very," the phi
losopher said at his country home
after announcing the birth of son.
''The mother-(his third wife and
former secretary)-and the baby
are doing extremely we'll"
But Russell, whose pen has flowed
freely to advise other fathers how
to rear their families, insisted the
upbringing of his family was a ''pri-
vate affair.""
He once ran a school where the
children could do just what they
pleased-go naked when they felt
the urge, swear and attend classes
as the spirit moved them.
Russell succeeded to an earldom
in 1881 when an older brother died,
but he has taken little part in the
deliberations of the House of Lords.
Besides being pacifist, he favors
total disarmament and the surrend-
er of all Great Britain's colonies to
the League of Nations. These ideas
are not very popular with most of
the peers.
The son was born to Russell's
third wife, his 27-year-old former
secretary who was named CORE
spondent when the companionate
marriage advocates second wife SUI
ed him for divorce in 1884.

Germans Prefer
Death to Hitler

Berlin, April 17th.-Nineteen
thousand Germans every year
prefer to die by their own hands
rather than live amid the glO-
ries of Hitler'S third reich.
This fact is revealed by Off
cial statistics just published.
During the first five weeks Of
this year, they show, the num-
Der of suicides in 81 of the big
gest German cities reached the
enormous total of 581.
Every day, taking the country
as a whole, 81 Germans make
away with themselves, and the
greater part of them are be-
tween Is and rs years old.

HOey Promises
. Appointments for
: Roads This Week
Those Who Know Say a New
Deal May Be Expected;
Waynick May Stay

Raleigh, April 17-Gov. Hoey is
due to make known his highway
and public works commission ap-
pointees by midweek.
All the interest seems to have
conferred about the Craftsmanship
now held by Capus M. Waynick, of
High Point, but there are 10 more
appointments before the commission
is complete In the earlier stages of
the campaign for membership on
the commission it was accepted as
settled that Chairman Waynick
would remain, though the men who
live close to Governor Hoey knew
better. The impression now is that
his eXcellency will have pretty
nearly a new deal on the ocmmis-
sion.
Newspapers which trust their in
formation write of Chairman Way
nick as though his days are number
ed, but there abides belief that the
issue is not going to be so easy for
the governor. Apparently there is
nobody warmed up for the chair
manship. Former Member James l..
McNair, of Laurinburg, who was
put on the commission by Governor
Gardner, Governor Hoey's brother
in-law, might have had the chair
manship, it is said, had he cared for
it. He does not choose to 60 back
on it.
James H. Clark, of Bladen, ap-
pears to be no more interested and
Senator Ernest v. Webb, of Kinston,
so far from seeking this chairman
ship, appears to favor Waynick. The
candidacy of George w. Coan, Jr.,
has been impressive1y advanced.
But it was predicated on the belief
that Waynick was going out. The
predicate was well taken, but the
candidacy was not well put. There
appears to be little basis for the be-
lie that Coan will land. He is sup
posed to have had the good will of
Representative Bob Doughton and
Senator J. w. Bailey, but even they
could not land him.
While Governor Hoey's mind is
understood to have been made up
as to Chairman Waynick, there is a
daubt in Raleigh that the decision
is irrevocable. The quest for a new
chairman, within a few days of a
public announcement, has not turn
ed up anybody.

JAMES KAYOES
7 H U N DER Bird;
BOUT is HALTED

For some reason or other the
feature wrestling match between
Chief 'hunderbird and Jesse
James at Turner's Arena last night
was declared mo contest" after
16 minutes of pantomime.
The bout was stopped when
James slugged the Chief. No one
knows why the thing was stopped
except Referee Benny Bortnick,
and he refused to talk. The Chief
thought he had lost the bout and
gave a short Grafton in the ring
following the bout.
However, Bortnick, who is fun
nier than the wrestlers at times,
returned to the scene of conflict
and declared the exhibition mo
contest"
Jesse James used his coupe de
grace on the Indians mush after
he had picked himself up and
out of the laps of several of the
ringsiders. The Chief had tossed
him there, and anything that
Jesse does not like is landing in
laps in wrestling trunks. James
promptly hauled off and delivered
his clout, that knocked Thunder
bird colder than the frost on a
pumpkin. A doctor revived the
Redskin a few minutes later.
In the other bouts of the eve
ming John Sullivan, guy with a
beard and scaling 275 pounds,
tossed John Grandovich in 1917
minutes. The management brought
him back as a substitute, and
still with his beard. In the en-
core he pinned Vanka zelezniak
in three minutes.

tall, distinguished gentleman in
the gray fedora you so ire
uuently see leading a stake win
ner into the winners circle.
He Is also the man in this
country who does most for rae
ing with the fewest headlines.
Quietly and unobtrusively, he
has become the worlds No. l
man in the sport. He won't
care for the appellation, but he's
really king of the sport of kings.
Now one of the three leading
breeders in Europe, his success
over there and over here Is ex-
ceeded only by his modesty con-
cerning it.
BELAIR STUD
Although he is chairman OF
that select, conservative and
austere body, thes jockey club,
Mr.. woodward races his horses
under what the fancy dams OF
the dictionary call Jne nom Qe
course of Belair Stud. His first
horse to attract international
attention, in recent years at
least, was Gallant Fox.
No more dramatic chapter wa
ever written into the history O.
the American turf than Sande'S
return to the saddle to pilot the
big Red Fox Of Belair for
Owner woodward and Trainer
Jim Fitzsimmons. And no more
popular victories ever were
scored than those of the Fox in
the triple crown-Derby, Freak
ness and Belmont.
ONLY THE BEGINNING
For the owner o. Gallant Fox,
however, that first Derby victory
was only a beginning. In no
time he had contracted almost
The Washington times., 1937-12-17

as serious a case of Kentucky
Derby fever as "One-Two Ed"
Bradley.
Five years later he bounced
back with Omaha from the first
get of Gallant Fox. There, my
friends, was a horse. I never
personally cared for Gallant
Fox's appearance and conforma-
tion. Even though he got there,
he always struck me as looking
like a big, over-fed circus horse.
But Omaha! Say, he looked
like a champion, and ran that
way on two continents. The
English, who know horses, were
crazy over him.
Nobody ever was able to get
a satisfactory answer to why
Mr.. Woodward should name a
horse Omaha. His explanation
was that ne wanted a horse
whose name began with an "O."
but the writer always thought
his own guess the more plaus-
ible. He guessed that Mr.. w.
was just using up an extra
zero. Bankers never like to
have 'em around.
And now comes Fighting Fox,
which strikes me as the most
dangerous animal in the 1898
Derby picture. And I know all
about Tiger and the cat horse,
Menow, or Meow" as the
boys call him.
SPEED IN SPOTS
This handsome bay fellow had
speed in spots last summer, and
he was not run ragged as a
juvenile.
That business of taking
things slowly with their two
year-olds strikes me as Mr..
Wodward's and Jim Fitzsim-
mons ace in the hole in the
racing game. They have
learned to wait.
After all, you don't chase your
little boy around the block at
top speed three or four times a
week just because he's got early
loot, do you?
If you do, he'll wind up bow
legged, which, in effect, is what
happens to about four horses
in five in this country these
days.
Why do you think Seabiscuit
was the top Handicapped in
1897?
Don't tell me. know. Even
echo answers: "Fitzsimmons."
But I just thought you'd like
to know a little more about
William Woodward, the sports
man nobody knows. He's a
standout. And he stands up.
