Which brings me around to the
observation that too many legiSla-
tors, including the Congress that
is now considering a District Of
Columbia racing bill, look on
thoroughbred racing more as a
means to increased revenues, than
as one Of the Oldest and gentle
forms of sport.
In too many localities racing is
tolerated" not for itself, but be-
cause it can be levied upon. un-
derstand there is a Maryland
group at Annapolis which is NOV.
ing for 100 racing days, instead OF
the present 100 days, because of
the additional income it would
mean for the State.
Has its Limitations
These budget boys who make
laws for the various states do not
seem to realize that racing as q
sport has business limitations, Just
as any other endeavor catering to
the public, and that after all the
purses are paid and all the ex
penses Of operation are paid, it il

And if dogs could talk, they'd
tell you what it is all about with

The great man has had his wor-

do with what they're trying to
trump up at his Laurel racing
plant.

to pat their heads as they leap

try to forget it all for a while.
It seems Maryland lawmakers
are looking with covetouS eyes
on the Laurel meet as good
place to drain even further taxes

have all they can do to offer at
tractive purses and thereby keep
the best horses in attendanceS as
well as the best people.

president of the Laurel

drear these days as a

Back yonder the dogs are
bowling a dirge as if every

within the big house where
"Cy" and Dame Cummings sit
before the open blaze and talk
of horse and hound.
They thought the last time the
master of the kennels was down

there was a little sadness in his

Hader
SET For Bout

Wrestling's No. / villain, none
other than Leering Laverne Bax-
ter, the Carolina Tarheel, will
tackle Jack Hader, erStwhile Kan
sas baker boy, in the feature match
of your Uncle Joe Turner'S weekly
grunt and groan card tonight in
Turner's Arena.
The affair will be one-fall
finish and is a return engagement
between the two. Leering Laverne
took a spectacular victory from
the baker boy in their first tussle
at Turner's.
Probably the greatest attraction
on tonight's card is Gus Sonnen-
berg, the former Dartmouth and
University Of Detroit football
player, who also Is the former
heavyweight c hampton Of the
world. Gus, so 'tiS said, drew
more than $4,000, 900 through the
turnstileS when he was a top per.
former. Illness of an extensive
duration has driven the once great
drawing card into the role of a
preliminary raSSler. He meets
Floyd Marshall, former Phoenix
(Ariz.) deputy sheriff.
In other bouts, Ed Meske
clashes with Wee Willie Davis
who is pinch-hitting for Joe Cox,
Hank Barber opposes Scotty Nc
Dougal, and Charles Allen will
battle it out with Jim Coffield
Once again tonight, Leerins
Laverme and the baker boy art
expected to offer a rough, tough
brawE. Their last was a pir
in every sense Of the word, anc
they promise that tonight's will
surpass their first effort in every
detail.
Incidentally, Laverne will b,
on the radio tonight at 6 O'Clock
He will be interviewed over Sta
ton VOL, and that ought II
be good, too.

Nothing, Henri, except that I
wish you would impress it upon

I order Rocquefort cheese dressing
for salad, I mean that, and not
mayonnaise. This is the third time
she has made the mistake"
"She thinks mayonnaise more

having under it the suggestion that
it would be to her advantage to like
them.

Brooke's tongue, but she caught the
words back. With the production of

THE way to day-in, day-out chic
L for the woman who sews is
shown in today's attractive new
three-way plan. It goes deeper
than the surface, you see, in the
presentation of a sleek new slip.
All, and it gives great thought to
the surface, too, as you can't help
but note in the two wing-side mod
els. This is one triangle every
woman who sews should want to
know all about.
Spicy New Model.
AS shipshape as Partisan
streamline fashion and, in it's own
role, as irnportant-that's the lit
tie number at the left above. It
does wonders to give one that up
and doing feeling that's handy to
have around the house in the
morning. You can repeat it time
and again without fear of being
repetitious; without losing your
fondness for it. Anything in gay
cotton: shantung, print, ging-
ham, crash, will do nicely for this
one.
A Congenial Slip.
Beneath well-groomed surface
hangs perfect fitting slip! That's
an old and honest notion and one
