several friends about the subject.
In each case they just shook their
heads and went away. We had
never particularly noticed before
just how funny it looks to see a
grown person or youngster for
that matter standing there shak-
ing their head back and forth.
BIRDS STARTED IT
OF course, we have grown to
know that this "wobbling" of the
mead means mo" but how did
this funny practice ever start?
The subject caught our fancy, we
asked the Question Box" and
here is what we found.
It started with baby birds In
their nest. Mama bird brings
home a nice fat worm and all the
little birdletS look up with their
mouths wide open, begging for it.
Many times she will repeat this
until some of the birds have had
enough so when mama bird comes
back some of them will shut their
bills tightly and shake their little
heads back and forth, meaning
mo, I've had enough"
Babies in their cribs and high
chairs do the same thing natural
ly when mother tries to feed some
nice castor OIL" Grown folks
have hung to this peculiar habit
as they grew up, and now all over
the world the mere shaking of the
head means mo" Have you q
question you would like to ask the
clubs Question Box" If so,
write it in to the "Old Skipper"
and we'll do ou rbest to answer it.
REMEMBER SAFETY
No question, however, is in our
mind about one subject. Safety
is pet hobby with the "Old Skip
per" and we are going to have
quite a bit to say about it next
week when we inaugurate a new
series of articles and broadcasts
on the subject. Well tell you
more about it later. Until tomor-

IN OPENING CAP

NEW YORK, Oct. II dN.sJ
Racing enthusiasts trekked to
Empire City today to usher In the
final two weeks Of racing Of the
New York season. The picturesque
little course in Yonkers has billed
an attractive inaugural program,
topped by the $500 added New
Rochelle Handicap, in which seven
horses Of all ages will whirl over
the short sixfurlong route.
The New Rochelle promises to
provide one Of the most interesting
sprint battles Of the fall season.
Arnold Hangers He Did, winner Of
the Interborough Handicap, heads
the field under 126 pounds and
probably will be installed the
1avorite.
He Did picks up five pounds
extra over his Interborough
triumph, but handicappers believe
he will prove equal to the task,
the 5-year-old son of Victorian
Dinah Did never was in better
fettle and he has the speed
necessary to dust off the opposi-
tion.
It is expected, however, that
Liberty Flight and the Fighter,
coupled as the Morgan entry, will
take plenty Of beating in the New
Rochelle. Liberty Flight, weighted
at lit pounds, won his last at
Belmont Park in sensational time,
while The Fighter was winner Of
two straight stakes prior to his
dull showing in the Interborough.
He will carry 122 today.
