What's in a Name?

COME day an enterprising, ambi.
y tious individual is going to think
UP boolful Of new names for race
horses-and thereby make fortune.
Naming . racehorse isn't as sim.
pie ~ II sounds. No two can have
the same names, and to make II
even tougher, the name can't be
longer than Is letters, including
dashes. spaces and all forms Of
punctuation marks. You can't
name . horse after . public enemy
and you can't be sacrilegious or OBJ
scene. To name . horse after some
real person you must secure thai
persons permission.
The 15-letter rule was made be.
cause is units are the maximum
which can be handled in a racing
chart without getting the typograph.
ical layout out of killer. Before this
rule was adopted a horse named
Battle of Killiecrankie used to cause
lot of trouble.
Owners of thoroughbreds have SO
many difficulties finding names that
haven't been used that they often
send in list Of a dozen or more
for each arrival, and the Jockey
club uses the first original one.
Hal Price Headley has . good
stakes winner named "Menow."
Headley had named horses for ev.
cry member Of his family but him.
self, so he figured 1t was ''nOw''
about time to name = horse after

he considered unfair criticism Of
Wit by fans and even players.
Bradley announced that he IL ''more

the same statement in regard to
Del Baker, who had also been ru-

The best managers need time to
build championship ball clubs.
None Of them can take a weak,

build for the future takes time. II
can't be done in one or two years.
Luckily, club owners realize that.

This year the Waners have slipped

Raleigh, July 3.-"Deaths and
serious injuries, not to mention dam
age to personal property, from boil
err explosions are far too numerous
in North Carolina and the total
must be reduced, Forrest H. Shu-
ford, State commissioner of labor,
stated today.
Mr.. Shuford made known that
two persons had been killed and five
others seriously injured as a result
of boiler explosions which have oc-
cured within the past sixty days.
Total property damage from these
accidents amounted to more than ten
thousand dollars.
In 1885 the General Assembly en-
acted boiler inspection law, which
makes it a miSdemeanOr to operate
a steam boiler at a pressure in excess
of fifteen pounds, without an Operat-
ing certificate. Operating certificates
are issued by the Department of
Labor to owners of boilers which are
found in safe condition, following
rigid inspection by State-commis-
stoned boiler inspectors. Only in
spectors for insurance companies
which operate in this State, and State
employed inspectors are commission
ed inspectors, and these men are
not issued commission until they
prove their competency by means
of rigid examination and by ex-
perience in this particular field.

been inspected and properly re-
paired in accordance with the State
law, they probably woul6 not have
