COLOR TO HUNT
AT MIDDLEBURG.
BY Lillian RIXEY

dleburg Hunt.
More than 200 entries have been
received by Richard S. Peach for

fer in some respects from the usual
horSe-Show card.
A pageant, featuring "The Queen
Of the Middleburg Hunt Country, "
will be staged at noon, with Miss
Anna Lee Trenary Of the Aldie
School holding court as queen.
ELIMINATES HURDLES
The ladies' side-saddle class
eliminates hurdles and, after the
manner of the Devon Horse Show,
will be judged by Mrs. Worth
Howard solely on manners and
way of going.
This change should draw a
larger number of entries. Most
women nowadays prefer to take
their jumps aStride, with the no
table exceptions Of Mrs. Robert
c. Winmill Of Warrenton. Mrs.
Melville Church of Rixeyville and
the versatile Mrs. Billie Jacobs
Wetherall of Berryville.
For many Of the other side
saddle equestriennes, their high
jumping days are over. They will
welcome a class where manners
and way of geing alone are judged.
Leading exhibitors at Saturdays
show are Mrs. John Hay Whit
ney's Llangollen Stables, Mrs.
George P. Greenhalgh's Springs
bury Farm, including the Inter
American hunter champion, Merry
Prince; Paul Melons Rokeby Sta

Clovelly Stables. the w. C. Lang
ley Stables, Peach Brothers,
Crompton Smith, George Robert
Slater, E. L. Redmon, Mrs. John
B. Anderson, Freddy Warburg, and
the Benton Stables.
DONATE TROPHIES
Judges in the hunter classes
will be Edgar Scott, Sydney Wat
ters and Worth Howard.
Handsome silver trophies have
been donated for many of the
classes by Mrs. William Mitchell,
Stephen Clark, Mr.. and Mrs.
Crompton Smith, Duncan Read,
Miss Bettina Belmont, Frederick
Warburg, Mrs. r. B. Davis, Miss
Charlotte holland, William c.

rior, weathered the stormy SeS-
sion and fought back like mad
man. Both were dead-tired and
punches were being tossed with
reckless abandon, Leo's finding
their mark more often. Freddie
tried desperately for a knockout,
but the steam was missing from
both hands.
The near-capacity g t h erin g
gave both boys a tremendous ova-
ton, and they certainly were de-
serving of the cheers.
The preliminaries were far from

Pete Reilly, the Silver Fox who
has had more featherweight
champions than any manager in
the history Of boxing, was the
latest to be fooled. Pete thought
his boy, Miller, a sure winner at
the start of the fourteenth, and,
according to Reilly, let Freddie

out he was "tricked" when Leo
got the 1aurels.
Nevertheless, it was a fight that
Washington fistic followers won't
forget for a long, long time.

crown he lost to Petey Sarron in
this district a little more than
two years ago, seemed well on his

GERMAN ENGINEERS SPEED-UP PROJECT

Prague, Czechoslovakia, Dec. 27- (UP)-Not stopping even for the Christmas holidays, German road en- gineers and surveyors today traced the new automobile speed road which will divide dismembered Czechoslovakia with a German -con- trolled strip, 37.2 miles long and 131 feet wide.
 The new speed road will connect Vienna and Breslau, shortening the travel time between these two im- portant German cities. Engineers and surveyors rushed their work so that actual construction may begin in the spring. The road is to be completed early in 194O.
 The Czech government, soon after the Germans occupied territory ceded at Munich, agreed to con- struction of this road. Czechoslova- kia was to furnish the land without compensation.
 Nominally, it will remain under Czechoslovak sovereignty.
 But in actual practice, 1t will be absolutely like German territory. Nothing may be moved on it with out passing German customs.

different vitamins. Apparently the factor in this vitamin which cures black tongue in dogs and WA. l likewise controls pellagra in human beings is nicotinic acid.
 The product has now been tested on many patients in whom the red- dened areas in the mouth began promptly to improve; the ex- cessive flow Of saliva disappeared. The reddened areas on the hands of these patients began to whiten 48 hours after the nicotinic acid was first administered. Appar- ently if the patient had been dis turbed mentally before he got the pellagra, the nicotinic acid does not cure the pellagra and will not cure the mental difficulty which had previously existed.
 Recently a number of investi- gators studied the effects of this product on 73 patients and de- scribed the results as dramatic.
 Apparently nicotinic acid or closely related substances are eSSen-

tial to the growth and development of the cells of the body and a suf- ficiently prolonged deficiency of such substances results in i'll health and eventually in pellagra. It was also interesting to observe that in these patients in many instances other disturbances which existed at the same time as the pellagra cleared up when the condition of pellagra improved.
 The observations also seem to show that the human being needs a definite quantity of vitamin B and all of its different parts in order to maintain good state of health. In those cases in which pellagra has developed because of deficiency in the diet or because the body has been unable to absorb the vitamin B with which it was furnished, great amounts of the vitan1in may be needed in order to bring about successful results.

2l NATIONS SIGN
 BIG AGREEMENT
Pan=American Conference Ends TOday-COnsent
 to Solidarity
BY HOBART c. MONTE

Lima, Peru, Dec. 27. - (UP) = Delegates to the eighth Pan-Amer- ican conference met today and signed III resolutions, declarations and projects which they have ap- proved, including the declaration of Lima" with its pledge of continental solidarity against aggression.
 The conference will end this afternoon at a plenary session wheTe delegates will sign the con- ferCnce's final act" which lists all its activities.
 United States delegates, content with the declaration of solidarity signed after many days of dispute, planned to sail for home tomorrow morning in the liner Santa Maria, after attending a banquet tonight at which President Oscar R. Bena- vides, of Peru, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, leading the Uni ted States delegation, will be the principal speakers.
 All M. Landon, Republican pres idential candidate in 1886 and a member of the United States dele gation, left for home by airplane yesterday.
 Delegates, discussing their work today, listed their main accomplish ments as follows:
 1. The declaration of Lima on continental solidarity against ag- gression.
 ?. A declaration on stimulation of trade.
 3. The denial of the right of for eigners to exercise collectively in an American country such political rights as they would enjoy in their own countries.
 4. The denial, to the same end of preventing infiiltration of for- eign ideas in the western hemi- sphere, of the right of foreign groups to claim rights as national minorities in American Republics.
 5. A resolution declaring against racial persecution.
 It was notable that in all the III projects signed today there was not a single formal treaty or binding pact. The declaration of continen- tai solidarity was the first of its sort. It was not as strong as United States and most other delegates de- sired. Argentina, however, refused to take part in any declaration which named foreign countries gen. orally as potential aggressors. The Argentine refusal was explained on the ground that Argentina did not wish to alienate any foreign coun- try.
