HYPOCRITE Is a much improved

sibly make the weight; l25 pounds is
the best l can do. That's plenty good
enough for morning work but in the
afternoon my place is on the outside
of the outside rail- roofing instead
of booting 'em home"
However. Joe had his day in the
saddle and right fair boy he was.
He ended his career in a blaze of
glory with three straight winners and
track record out at Fairmount Park.
The other morning at Pimlico Joe
worked IS horses That" COM
mented Joe, ''is only half of my riding
schedule for the day This afternoon
I am going to the farm and break
about yearlings. By supper time I
guess my mileage for the day on
horseback will be about As miles"
This Is quite feat. as the average
exercise boy Is capable of exercising
only about three or four horses
morning. Serio has two helpers who
cool and walk his mounts while he
joins another set on the track. He
can work two horses while helper
is cooling out one.
In the matter Of compensation Joe
receives anywhere from so cents to
81 90 for each horse he works. He Is
trying to accumulate nest egg be-
cause he has an ambition to attain
his goal, which is to own and train
a stable of his own. If hard work,
ability and confidence have anything
to do with it Joe Serio some day will
achieve his ambition, and I wish him
the best of success in his difficult
undertaking.
Stagehand Heads List.
Maxwell Howard's Stagehand, nose
victor over the mighty Seabiscuit in
the $l0G, 900 Santa Anita Handicap last
winter, heads the list of IS 3-year-olds
eligible for the oath running of the
$500 Maryland Handicap on Octo-
ber %.
The Maryland is one OF 10 stakes
to be run during the Maryland State
Fairs 25-day session, beginning Octo-
ber l at nearby popular Laurel. 1t
will be contested over the IL mile
distance.
Stagehand's opposition will be OF
the finest, as a glance over the list
Of nominations released recently by
Race Secretary John Purcell Turner
ST., will attest.
Trainer Earl Sande also has named
The Chief as running mate for
Stagehand. However. it is thought
that The Chief will be pointed for the
$500 Capital Handicap, three quarter
mile feature on opening day.
Santa Anita Race His Best.
Although Stagehand has won ru-
merous stakes this year, Sande calls
his winning effort in the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap his best race.
In that long-to-be-remembered classic
Stagehand came from we'll back in
the pack to win in track record time
Of 2:O1as for the mile and a quarter.
Back of the sensational son of Sickle
and Stagecraft that afternoon were

PLAN TO CREATE
ARMY RESERVES.
NEARS PASSAGE
Those Leaving ReguIa
Service Prospects
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

America is about to acquire a
regular army enlisted reserve for
the first time since the World
War.
Through it, Army authorities
hope in four years to build a re-
serve Of trained men equal to half
the strength of the regular forces
Recommended by Secretary OF
War Harry Woodring and sup
ported by the Senate and House
Military committees, the new pro
gram is designed to fill a need felt
more acutely each year as men
who served during the World War
reach the age when they will be
no longer available for active duty
should another emergency arise.
ENACTMENT AWAITED
Legislation creating the new
reserve has been reported favor
ably both to the Senate and the
House. Early enactment Of the
necessary authorization, an amend,
ment to the National Defense Act,
is expected to follow shortly.
When the bill was before the
Senate Committee on Military
Affairs it was testified by Army
spokesmen that out of some $4,000
enlisted men discharged from the
Army each year at the expiration
Of their three-year enlistments,
plus approximately 5000 who an
nually purchase their discharge,
about $4,000 reenliSt. This leaves
about $4,000 men from whom it
is hoped to draw the material for
the new reserve and of these the
Army counts on getting a little
more than 10 per cent, or about
$4,000 men each year.
165,OOO IN ARMY
These figures are based on the
present enlisted strength of 1885,.
900 men.
It was pointed out that the
Army operates the best schools in
the country for training airplane
mechanics, trains men in anti air.
craft signalling, parachute rigging,
aerial photography, as veterinari.
ans helpers, dental technicans,
and In chemistry and use of ex-
plosives. Many of these men are
so valuable in industry that they
are snapped UP when their en-
istments expire, and thus lost to
the service in which they received
their training. The bill would
provide q tie-up between the Army
and the men it has trained.
The bill would put an age limit
of 36 on enlistments in the re-
serve, but allow any honorably dis
charged soldier under that age to
become reServiSt. AS such he
would receive an allowance of $24
a year while in the Regular Army
Reserve, and If called to active
duty in an emergency be paid an
additional So per month for each
year of his reserve enlistment, up
to q maximum of $50.

Q.N.S.) Ship traffic through

Figures on Election
Show Decline in
Democrats Ratio
6. O.P Won 81 Per Cent
Of Vote. in East
and Midwest
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
4 countrywide compilation showed
today that Democrats polled 40 per
cent OF the vote for members Of
the House in the November 8 eIec-
ton. Republicans received 478 per
cent and minor party candidates,
81 per cent.
The Democratic figure fell from
602 per cent of the party's presi-
Dental vote in 1886 and 534 per
cent of the vote for Representatives
In 1884.
The tabulation, compiled princi-
pally from officially certified returns,
showed the 1888 vote for Repre-
sentativeS aggregated 35,815 ,720. This
was the largest ever recorded in an
off-year election. Democratic can
didates received 1859, ,08l votes; Re-
publicans, 1928, ,557, and other can
didates, 1,127 O82.
Republicans achieved their great
est gains in the East and Midwest.
polling 81 per cent of the vote in
both sections. In 1896 they received
only 40.4 per cent of the presidential
vote In the East, and in 1894 they
polled 433 per cent of the vote for
Representatives. In the Midwest the
party received only 1874 per cent
Of the 1896 vote and 43.3 per cent
Of the 1884 vote.
Democrats Strong in South.
Democrats maintained pluralities
In the West, with SIG per cent of
the total vote, and in the South.
with 77.3 per cent.
In 1885, the Democrats received
$50 per cent of the Western vote
against 81 per cent in 1894. The
party's 1888 percentage in the South
compared with 754 per cent in 1896
and n per cent in 1884. The latter
ngures reflected the usual Republi-
can voting decline in the South in
oh-years.
The tabulations showed Republi-
cans outvoted Democrats in the con-
9ressional races of % States having
2o8-or q majority-of the 531 elec-
torial votes. Democrats polled the
largest vote in 26 States having 1853
electoral ballots.
This comparison does not hold,
however, If races other than those
tor the House are considered. In
New York, for instance, Democrats
won the governorship and two Sen
ate seats, but received only 47.4 per
cent OF vote for Representatives in
mat State. Republicans polled 1872
per cent Of the latter vote.
In addition, the popular vote COM
parison does not jibe with party rep
1esentation in Congress. Democrats
elected 262 Representatives, or 60.2
per cent OF the House membership.
Republicans won ITO seats, or 39.1
per cent Of the total, and minor
parties took three seats, or OF per
cent.
Minor parties were shown by the
Sabulation to have suffered a four
year drop In their percentage OF the
mass vote. These parties received
80 per cent Of the total vote in 1884
end 80 per cent in 1896, compared
With 81 per cent this year.
Tho total vote for Representative
does not reflect the aggregate num-
ber Of ballots cast in the November
election because in many States the
vote In senatorial and gubernatorial
races exceeded that for Representa-
Hves.
In the tabulation the 1886 presi-
Dental vote was compared with the
vote for Representatives in 1898 and
1884 because 1t more accurately rep
resented national trends. The 1886
presidential vote was greater than
That cast in the same year for repre-
sentatives.
