sales stables.
The special train is a long
line of padded horse-boxes with.
of course, an engine. Steam on
the latter has been shut off
while the loading is going on.
The sides of the boxes are down
and there's thick straw every
where to make soft stepping
for the youngsters. The line
halts a score of yards from the
train. And now the pied fiddler
of Kildare, the conductor Of
this march to capture distant
classics of the English turf,
steps forward to do his part.
LIE IS a little grey-bearded
IA man wearing a derby hat
and a salt-and-pepper suit. He
knocks the ashes from a black
clay pipe, puts it in his pocket,
stoops to his fiddle case, lying
there on the straw, takes out
bow and violin and begins a
lengthy program of soft, sweet
music. He's from the Vale of
Avoca, is the fiddler of Kildare,
and he plays only the airs made
immortal by Thomas Moore.
He begins on triumphant
note for the yearlings:
Go where glory waits thee!
But while fame elates thee!
"Oh, still remember me-"
The little fiddler is doing the
same thing in nerve-soothing,
real or imagined, as do the
highly paid orchestras in Holly
wood for the movie stars when
there's some extra special emot-
ing to be done. And the horses
are gentled by it as thoroughly
as are the girls.
Fear has now fled from them
and they come stepping care
fully but willingly to the boxes.
Patted and whispered to by the
stable boys, they take 1t all
quietly as the doors are closed
upon them. There will be neigh
ing and maybe screaming when
the bumps come along the rocky
road to Dublin. But right now
the miraculously gentle pull of
the engine never bothers them.
The violin has completely
Gained them.

We're Not in Exile, But---

DALTMORES loss is Washngtor's gain particu-
ID larly in the loss of Representative Vincent Pal
misano, chairman Of the House District Committee
Baltimore voters, who apparently thought as little
of Mr. Palmisanos tactics did Washington, defeated
him at the polls last Monday, and selected Thomas
D'Aessandro the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress.
And certainly Washington has found a good friend
in the nominee. During Mr.. Palmsanos tenure
as chairman of the District Committee little that
constructive done for the Capital City. In fact
the chairman quite often found nconvenent to at
tend the meetings.
But Mr.. D'Alessandro wants to
ne VuHLS the committee, and says
IT, corro T1o that if he is appointed he will study
municipal problems in eff
fort to give US better government.
More, he believes that the citizens of Washington
should be given the vote and national representation.
His words, when asked about that were:
"Of course you should have the vote. You citi-
gems, and not in exile, you?"
We have been in exile for many years. exiled by the
actions of like Mr.. Palmsano who was 'too
busy to pay heed to the 900 voeless residents of

Merchant Officers "TOps''

In answer to j. M. on "Ship-
board Discipline" I have also
served on merchant ships. He
gives his age but not length Of
service. That does not matter,
as any person with ordinary in
telligence serving half a trip on
a merchant ship knows that
they cannot have the same con.
dition on a commercial ship as
on a Navy school ship.
A Navy ship of the same ton
mage as a merchant ship has
about three men to our one.
The officers at times on mer-
chant ships have to work right
along with the men. How does
he expect to have the same con-
ditionS under such terms?

ships one-half the men as Navy
ships and they will show him
