NeiU Years Is Big Event
In Horse Racing Circles

There's a big birthday party in
horse racing circles on New Years
day. Twelve thousand thorough
breds in training, in common with
all other horses, become a year old
err.
To old timers like Man O. War,
celebrating his twenty-second birth
day in old Kentucky, the day doesn't
mean much. But to approximately
5000 yearlings and at least half
that many two-year-olds, it marks
the turning point of their careers.
Yearlings become eligible to ap-
pear under colors for the first time,
while the juvenile racers join the
rich three-year-old ranks, ready for
participation in such moneyed
events as the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and the Belmont.

Dempsey, ''never order anything
but ginger ale, orangeade or horses
necks."
A horses neck, he explains, is
made of ginger ale, ice and lemon.
If made by people who know their
business, it doesn't have any liquor
in it at all.
The current seasons New Years
eve celebrant will behave herself
in the following fashion, says Mr..
Dempsey:
She will stick to her own party
and won't attract attention to her
self by a lot of raucous laughter
or loud talk. She'll make noise,
because that's what New Years is
for, but she won't become obnox-
iously boisterous.
AS for being kissed at midnight,
Jack says it's not necessarily sign
of affection, SO why not?

Ordinarily this annual observan- ce comlneqnorating the bonds of friendship uniting the 2l rspub- lies of the Western Hemisphere is held a week later, but, in this instance, would conflict with the observance of Holy Week. The lovely Pan American Union build ing with its terraced gardens and its exotic birds and flowers, Whi- ch Is coming more and more to be a center of WaShington's most cultured social life, was the scene of the local celebration. And for music lovers it was indeed an orgy of the aesthetic, for no less than three of our most famous band leaders, Army, Navy, and Marine, directed the orchestral. of 90 musicians. The Pan American parties are now the sole functions where the representatives of war ring nations, among the invited, can attend and mingle without self-consciousness, or political embarrassment.

McDougall was one of the most popular cartoonists of the late 18th and early 2Oth centuries, and he claimed to have drawn the first newspaper cartoon ever printed. Once he drew a cartoon of the U.

 Born at Newark in 1858, Mo- Dougall grew up with Theodore Roosevelt, and their friendship, ex- cept for what the cartoonist called frequent break-offs in diplomatic relations" lasted until the president died. sa -s. a.. I.t .3

so-called headliners in the cinema world. Back in 1913 Mike was doing loop-the-loop flights with Lincoln Beachey. He has stunted with the famous Bert Acosta, who flew the Atlantic to fame and the Naugatuck river to jail. He has flown with Ruth Law, Americas first woman flyer. He has been on transforming trips with the most noted aviatorS and was making the headlines when Charles Lind bergh was just an unknown youngster ill St. Louis.
 But climbing precipitous steeples and moke-stackS is Mikes stock in trade. He once climbed the flag pole on the Woolworth building and gave blase New Workers something to talk about. He hung by his heels from the tall, will lowly like flag pole on the parade grounds at Fort Slocum while hard boiled second "Loueys" faint ed and tough top sergeants shout ed for smelling salts.
 Feats Galore!
 Mike numbers among his ac- complishments the painting of the flagpole of the Academy of Music building in Baltimore. Maryland. Cameramen took pictorial records of this stunt. They didn't know what Mike knew when he started the dizzy ascent to the pinnacle of the staff to paint the little gold ball, that the base of the pole was not any too firm. But Mike had contract to fulfill, reputation for daring and nerve to maintain, SO up he went and the pictures will bear testimony that he suc- seeded.
 His feat in repairing the steeple on the First Congregational church in Everset, Mass, is still one of Mikes big numbers. The chap who tried to do it before him crashed! ...
 And so on down the list one finds records of Mike climbing higher and higher to fame as steeplejack! He still gets kick out of thrilling people. He has filled several big jobs in the vicin- ity of New York recently and is now booked for several more. Mike is still front-page copy when he goes to work even if there is war in Spain or trouble all over the world.
