MARE SADIE
 RARE NURSE
Serves as Foster Mother 10 Many Thoroughbred
 Orphans, Raee-land

LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct 2. - If some of the equine orphans of the bluegrass could talk whenever they got into trouble, they'd probably lift their saucy heads and yell "sadie!"
 Sadie is this racehorse country's closest approach to nurse" Year after year, she serves as foster moth CT to some colt or lilly whose dam is dead or i'll.
 Current "stepchild' of the nurse mare is a lilly of the noted show mare. Roxie Highland. who died at Spindletop farm two months ago. Last year her charge was sturdy little thoroughbred, a son of the great Man O War.
 Sadie is known to all horse breed CTS of the bluegrass. When one of them needs a foster mother for an orphan colt or lilly, he generally asks for Sadie, knowing she will rear the colt properly. tsai 9iF
 That isn't always an easy task. Not every mare will become a nurse to strange colt One with bad temper might kill strange foal. titig lei4- 4,ia
 Even with Sadie, horsemen sonne- times have to rely on an alcoholic acquaintanceship" method to bring the mare and a foal together. Since horses recognize each other from scent instead of sight, they simply rub some alcohol on the nostrils of both the mare and colt to give them a similar scent. Apfa Sadie is owned by 9-year-old Katherine Graddy of nearby Yer sailles, Ky. Six years ago Kath- erine's father. Henry Graddy. bought the mare for $19. He wanted a good, safe mount for his daughter. Now Katherine charges $100 a season to rent" her mare to horse breeders as a. foster mother.

 Telegrams were read at the meet ing from United States Senators Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., and Ben nett Champ Clark of Missouri, ex- pressing their opposition to repeal of the embargo.
