.OSr time!

OSI tlme!
A dozen of the nations finest horses
lined up at Churchill Downs.
Thoroughbreds! Trained to razor's
edge e every nerve tingling to get away and
lead the field around that track, on a mile
and-a-quarter contest in which nose may
decide the winner. The greatest racing classic
in America.
Yes it's the Kentucky Derby! Historic
and glamorous contest of the turf, the stake
which horse owners, trainers, jockeys and
stablehands spend lifetimes to win. The race
that promises to call hundred thousand en-
thusiasts from all parts of the country to
Louisville next Saturday.
They're at the post - those dozen or more
thoroughbreds. You're looking at pedigees
that go back into many decades of racing his
tory, some of them for two hundred years!
Bluebloods
You're looking at the final selection of the
best from all over the continent. Some of
those horses already have won big stakes.
Some have won nothing at all, but have given
such promise that they must be offered the
grand chance. There they are. their jockeys
all set to help the thoroughbreds show what's
in them.
What makes Derby winner? Perhaps
can answer that question. I've seen every
Kentucky Derby race. The first one, in 1875,
witnessed as fourteen-year- old boy. drove
to town in farm wagon with my father, and

operates the historic track.
What makes winner? As l look at the
Derby field, ready to start on the Tueling
contest for stake of $50. 900 and SIS 600 cup
for the owner, appreciate anew that the
horse which romps in the winner must have
what it takes:
Speed Stamina. Heart. Cleveness, willing
ness to cooperate with his jockey. And, above
all things, the iron will to give everything in
that last stretch drive toward the wire.
That's why we horse men put ancestry first
on the list of prerequisites for winners. Last
year it was War Admiral, son of the great
Man O. War.
Take look at some of the entries for this
approaching Derby: Stagehand, Menow,
Fighting Fox. Tiger, Nedayr, Dauber, Teddys
Comet, Mountain Ridge, Can't Wait, Lawrin,
Bull Lea, Sun Egret. Among the sires and
dams of the 1O3 entries - which will narrow
down to about dozen by Derby Day - are
such famous turf parents as: Man O. War
Madelaine; Sir Galahad III Marguerite;
Gallant Fox Minerva; Reign Count Saucy
Sue; Omar Khayyam Ripping Crimp;
Insco Margaret Lawrence. Famous couples,
these. Yes - bluebloods!
But thoroughbred must have training.
No human athlete could ever have more care
full training than that given the aristouats of
the turf. Under the trainer watchful eye they

are fed, bedded, exercised, nwtmed, trained
to saddle, taught to run.
When colt becomes two -year-old, it's
time to find out what he's worth on the track.
Even then the owners can't be sure whether
they have a great horse or just good one.

What's the difference? The finish of any
hard race will tell you!

Kentucky Derby record at 2:O1 4/5 for the

racer as two-year- old that he came into his

Or just the luck that sometimes breaks,
when great horse, ordinarily strong favor
ite against any field, finds rival just trifle
better. The classic of all Derby history is the
defeat of Proctor Knott, back when Churchill
Downs was comparatively new.
Proctor Knott, owned by Sam Bryant. won
the first running of the Belmont Futwity in
1888. Mr.. Bryant was Louisville man, and
his horse at once became the idol of the town
and the Derby favorite next year. About ten
days before the race, representative of
Montana Stables came out of the West with
Spokane. and calmly announced that he was
going to win the Derby. And Spokane did, to
the great anguish and loss of the Louisville
enthusiasts.
Good luck or bad, the thoroughbreds will
be in there trying. At the post! Ready to go
for the thrill. for the fame and fortune, of
winning.

URBAN LEAGUE FORMS
STUDY GROUP FOR FRI
EXAM.

Young men between the ages OF
Is and 25 who have completed high
school or who will graduate during
1888 are urged by the Executive
Secretary of the Minneapolis
Urban League to make application
for the forthcoming Civil Service
examinations for Student Finger
print Classifier with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Depart
ment of Justice. Those who are in
terested are advised to secure ap-
plication forms from the Civil
Service office, Main post office and
to contact the Urban League Of
fee for information regarding a
study group to be formed for the
purpose of assisting applicants to
prepare for the test.
Applications must be in Wash
ington by January "a, so immediate
action is necessary.
The Urban League is rendering
a splendid service by informing
our young people of these examina-
tons and by organizing study
groups to assist them in their prep
aration for the examination.
The first effort of this kind &C.
Cured last fall when the League
organized a group interested in the
examination for positions with the
Minnesota State Employment Serv-
ice. The fact that two appoint
ments have been made to date in
dicates that there are opportunities
for members of our group to be ap>
pointed to such positions when they
properly qualify themselves by
taking Civil Service examinations.

Neal Funeral
Home Operates
As Usual

Rumors circulated to the effect
that the Neal Funeral Home Cor
poration had suspended operation
are not true. Such reports were
found to be groundless and with
out foundation by this newspaper.
There has been no suspension of
business.
Officials of the firm stated that
the business was being conducted
as usual and that the Neal Co. has
an efficient staff which is prepared
to render to the public the same
service which has been in vogue
during the entire Neal operation.
1t was also pointed out by w.
Squire Neal, president, that the
Neal Funeral Home, Inc, is not in
volved in the present unfortunate
situation and its operation is con-
tingent entirely upon the continued
support of its friends and not upon
the activity of any individual con-
nected with the business.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-01-21

present situation concerning this
problem revolves itself around ex-
clusion of Negro students from the
privilege of residence in any of the
dormitories or coop cottages con-
nected with the University of Min
nesota. Negro students room in
dormitories in most northern state
conducted schools.
Today evidence of the problem
presents itself and is supported,
the speaker said, by four cases
where Negro students of both
sexes have made efforts to estab-
fish such residence, but have been
unsuccessful when the officials
found out that the inquiring stu
dents were Negroes.
These students have been pre-
vented from entering these hous-
ings by those administrative off
GERS who suggest to the Negro stu
dent that he or she would be hap
pier with his own people and at
the same time they claim that his
or her entrance would be unaccept-
able to those white students who
are residents of the houses in ques-
ton. By not allowing Negro stu
dents to live in the houses, the adj
ministrative officials are project
ing their own prejudices upon the
white students.
Mr.. Grissom further stated that
his acquaintance with and explicit
discussion of the problem with
many of the white students, as we'll
as with members of the faculty,
has brought forth sincere express
sions of feeling from these people
that offers evidences that they
hold no sympathy with the position
taken by the administrative off
Gals and further feel that such po-
sition is indefensible.
In closing Mr.. Grissom stated:
"This problem is brought before
you, American Federation of
Teachers, because we feel you are
the proper body before which to
present it for action and final pres
entation before the Board of Re-
gents"

Tiles for Flooring Used
as Far Back as in 1922

HES toE EAAS OSSu
as Far Back as in 1922
In the Middle ages tiles were used
for flooring in the churches and 9TH
er religious buildings. One of the
earliest references to tiles is a
grant given by King Don Fernando
Ell Santo, in 1922, for the making
of tiles at Talavera, Spain. The
manufacture of tiles in that country
was imported by the Arabs. It at
tanned great importance in the Mid
die ages and is an industry in Spain.
1t is said the Alcazar, at Seville, is
a perfect museum of tiles. They
form the principal color motif of the
gardens and attract as much atten-
ton if not more than the flowers,
observes writer in the Los Angeles
Times.
In England we find they attained
a high degree of excellence as early
as the Thirteenth century and con-
tinued being manufa ctured until the
Sixteenth and even in some dis.
tricts until the Eighteenth century.
Some of the English tiles of this
time are most interesting. On one
from Liverpool are the words,
Prosperity to the United States"
In the Seventeenth and Eight
zenith centuries tile was largely
used in Holland. The Dutch tiles
often show Chinese influence in de-
sign, as the Delft painters were
familiar with oriental porcelain
brought to their country by the
Dutch East India companies. Be-
sides blue on white ground, 9TH
er colors such as green, purple and
yellow were used with a heavy lay
er of glaze over all. Bouquets Of
flowers and birds after the Chinese
manner were subjects for decora-
ton. Their paintings declined in
the Eighteenth century.
