LEONARD COLSTON STILL
REMAINS CRITICAL

Leonard Colston, popular Mime
apolis Detective, who was shot by his
father-in-law Wednesday, was still in
critical condition as we go to press.
Colston was one of the most popular
officers on the force, and was highly
regarded by his superiors.
Says Captain Mullen "ColSton was
an unassuming man who knew his
duty and did it efficiently, l have nev-
er sent him on a mission that he did
not complete. All of us are pulling
for him."
Twenty officers volunteered to give
necessary blood transfusions, among
them Detective Mealy who was Col
ston's partner.
He was shot at AT Nineteenth Ave
N. E., where Colston and his wife and
two children live on the second floor,
by his father-in-law, Leo Jaworski, "a,
during family argument Wednesday
night.
At General hospital Colston was
first given an indirect TRANSMISSION from
blood in the hospital bank.
Colston was appointed to the force
May |, 1923. He has been plain
clothes patrolman since June /, 1884.
He has four citations for Important
arrests.

New York Policy
Wheel Still
Going Strong

The New York Policy Wheel was
still going strong Friday. While eff
forts are being made to stamp out this
particular vice, due to their long ex-
perience, policy men are very elusive
Writers have been picked up on sew
eral occasions during the past two
weeks, although brief cases and slips
bearing twelve numbers, are being
looked at surreptitiously at noon and
six o'clock week days, among the gen.
try that believe luck beats common
sense.
1t is hoped that by next week we
will be able to name the source of pro-
lection behind this particular vice that
makes it almost immune to regulation

Mess Line

We wonder what Joe Cans and
George Dixon would do if they could
come back and see the antics of our
gentlemen of leather in this day and
age.
Cans and Dixon were both individual
diplomats, diplomacy which was as
much responsible for their success as
their ability to stand forty rounds i'll
the hot sun and take lot of punish
ment
We wonder if they would have
laughed had we told them the day
would come when Negro pugilist
would tell big promoter that he
would never fight for him again, be-
cause he Disseminated against our
group. Henry Armstrong did it, and
became the most popular man in the
ring afterward.
They probably would not have lis
tened had we told them that the next
generation would see Negro Manager
defy the powers of the ring, and have
more than half the population of the
country behind him.
Gus Greenlee not only did it, but
has gone a step further and sued the
Commission.
We would have probably been given a
police escort to the nearest "booby-
hatch, had we mentioned the fact
that a couple of Negro Managers
would make a millionaire out of a Ne
gro fighter, and what is more, make
provision for him to keep it.
No doubt Jack Johnson has his share
of gall and wormwood, when he sees
a Negro Pugilist refuse to fight for a
hundred thousand dollars, but Mr..
Louis did it this year, although he has
four fights scheduled for next year.
Harry Wills not so many years ago
knew all of the disappointment of a
competent man given the run around,
but he sees John Henry Lewis, under
much the same circumstances making
his bid manfully against overwhelming
odds with a pretty good chanch to win.
Looking back over the long hard road
that these men have travelled to make a
success of their efforts, one wonders if
the rewards and emoluments that go
with the game were their sole incen-
tive.
Our experience with these men has
convinced us that it was something
more. One of the finest demonstra-
tions of race pride that can be demon
strated by any group, was the real rea-
son.
The oldsters no doubt felt the same
urgings, but they could only lay the
foundation. These boys who caught
their torch have carried on.
We have some hope of the next gen.
Grafton adding their bit to the really
great things that these heroes, for they
are heroes, have accomplished.

He should be as good as second.
WHOOPER is possibility.
FIFTH RACE-ENDYMION, AF-
FIRMATION, BAR FLY.
ENDYMION can better his indif-
ferent effort in his recent race and
is given the preference. II within
striking distance of the leaders he
should prove best in the run home.
AFFIRMATION finishes among the
leaders often and should be no
worse than second. BAR FLY has
little to beat for the show.
SIXTH RACE-GALLANT GAY,
JEZREEL, PEACEFUL.
GALLANT GAY is favorably
placed again. In fine fettle, this
colt has won his last two races and
has only to retain his speed to
add this purse to his list. JEzREEL

been freshened up and must be
respected.
SEVENTH RACE-MEDIUS DIES,
BABY WAY, ALBUQUERQUE.
MEDIUS DIES turned in several
smart performances at Suffolk
Downs and If he displays the speed
here that marked his winning race,
he should account for this affair.
BABY WAY is gifted with extreme
early speed and will prove a for
midable foe as far as she goes.
ALBUQUERQUE Is q money factor
with these.
EIGHTH RACE-FINDON, SUN
KINCSEN, PLAY BY PLAY.
FINDON has an edge in class
over this field and will take some
beating. The Display filly closes
strongly and figures to launch q
stretch drive that will be hard to
deny. SUN KINCSEN has been
well up Of late and looms as the
one to beat. PLAY BY PLAY has

First, there Is no sure pre-

First, there Is no sure pre-
ventative Of ticks. There are,
however. various substances that
do discourage them.
Any flea or insecticide powder with
derris root base is definitely dis
couraglng to ticks and will rid a Cog
OF neas. OF course the powder has to
be used at least once a week to be
effective. Also, much larger quantities
than those usually recommended by
the manufacturers are generally neces-
sary.
The powder should be rubbed well
into the hair and an effort made to
get 1t down next to the skin.
Frequent combing and brushing are
great aids in keeping dog free from
f1eas and other insects. They generally
decide to move somewhere where they
won't be bothered so much. Some
brands Of fly spray-notably those
which contain derris powder in sus-
pension-are effective against insects
when sprayed on the dogs coat and in
his premises. There are also several
brands Of spray made specifically for
use on dogs.
One of the most effective methods
of any is dip at regular intervals in
a creolin solution. This also Is bene-
ficial to minor abrasions OF the skin.
The dog should be immersed right I'D
to the eyes and kept in the solution
for several minutes, but care should
be taken not to get any in the eyes.
Ticks are particularly prone
to attach themselves to the
ears Of q dog. near the eyes
and around the neck and shoul-
ders.
For some reason they do not very
often bother the rest of the dogs body.
None Of the methods mentioned will
loosen tick that has already dug in.
These have to be picked off by hand
or with pair of tweezers and should
be disposed of either by burning or
flushing down the drain.
1t Is said that ether or alcohol will
loosen ticks from the skin, but have
never used either.
Snaoe Tor Puppies.
II you have litter of puppies that
you keep in a small pen which hasn't
much shade and they apparently are
suffering from the heat, try hanging
some wet cloths, such As feed sacks,
on the sides of their pen. The cloths
provide an awntng-li shade and the
evaporation of moisture from them
helps to cool the small area in which
the puppies lie. You will ind them
grateful for this aid.

Scores With Brilliant
Stretch Effort.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Inscoelda,
speedy brown filly owned by Herbert
M. Woolf of Kansas City, turned on
a brilliant stretch drive today to win
the $4,000 Lassie Stakes before 5000
spectators at Arlington Park.
In winning the tenth running of the
rich feature for 2-year-old fillies, ms
coelda was away slowly, then rallied
to race to the lead in the stretch and
won without pressure to give Jockey

farms stable was second, a length
back. and 2a lengths ahead of the
third f1liy, Unerring, which ran as
an entry with Inscoelda.

ing SIT $40 and third, $2,500. Dinner
Date earned $1,000 for her owner, Mrs.
Ethel v. Mars of Chicago. The fourth
f1nisher took down $1,000 for Owner
Hal Price Headley of Kentucky.

second fastest ever turned in for the
feature. Back in 1882, Hilena ira
versed the 6 furlongs in 1:l025 seconds.
Singing witch, owned by John Hay
Whitney, was the early pacemaker,
but tired under the pressure. ms
coelda. away sixth, was fourth by a
length and one-half at the quarter
and moved up on top by a head at
the half. She never was headed after
that, easily withstanding Dinner
Gates challenge. Unerring drove
from sixth place at the quarter to
take show money.
Airacuda Fourth.
Airacuda finished fourth and Sing
ing Witch fifth followed by Bold Fay,
Grey Nurse. Oua and Lady Nicotine.
The race had gross value of $28, 8,620.
Unerring is full sister of Lawrin,
the Kentucky Derby winner, and ms
coelda was sired by Insco. Lawrin's
daddy.

orite, and paid $3.50, $3.50 and $3.50.
