|EL CHICO SHOWS
 FINE FORM AS DERBY CHOICE
Winter Book Favorite Is Fully Matured for g.
 Year.Old Campaign
.. BY THOMAS H. NO0NE
 limited Press Racing EditOrl

New York, Feb. l3 = (U.P.) - The odds are against a winter book fayorite starting in the Kentucky Derby, but 1t would be a poor way to risk money this year because El Chico. 4-i choice for the Blue Grass classic, was far advanced today in training for his campaign as a three year-old.
 An inspection of the John P. Grier La Chica colt who won seven straight for William J. Ziegler as a -year-old revealed fully ma tured horse. Under the capable guid- ance of John McGee, Fl Chico has thrived at Belmont Park while Matt Brady, chief conditioner for Ziegler, spent the winter in California sup- ervising the campaign of lesser lights of the stable.
 Looks Good
 The colt showed no i'll effects from the hard winter months. His appearance seemed to justify him as winter book favorite to win the derby, though nominations will not be made konwn until late this month. There seems no doubt, how ever, that Fl Chico would be named. ziegler announced early this year that he survived the hazardous wir- ter in good shape, he would be en- tered. McGee has had Fl Chico under light gallops for the past six weeks.
 "El Chico could 90 to the races much sooner than May 6, the Derby date" McGee said, "and probably emerge triumphant. He Is the most docile thoroughbred I ever had the pleasure of handling Hasn't caused me Q minutes worry, and at no time have I been anxious about his health"
 McGee said he couldn't hazard guess as to the winner In any race, and much less the derby, "but 1t is my sincere belief that Fl Chico has royal chance against the prospec- tive crop of three-year-olds which will contest in this years derby"
 Porter's Mite Third
 The Ziegler stable took delight in the defeat Saturday of Porter's mite in the San Vincente handicap at Santa Anita, which was won by Impound. Fl Chco's stablemate Our Mat finished in second place ahead of Porter's Mite, who is expected to be Fl Chico's chief rival as three year-old. Fl Chico will be ridden again this year by Nick Wall who booted him home ahead in all his starts last year.
 An unimpressive looking horse, Fl Chico was bought by his present owner for $2,700 at the Saratoga yearling sales in 1887. Making his debut at Jamaica in the spring last year, he captured the youthful, the great American stakes, the Dover stakes at Delaware, the U. s. Hotel stakes, the special and hopeful stakes at Saratoga, and the Junior Championship stakes at Aqueducs. The Hopeful, worth $4z,o50 was his richest prize and carried total earn ing to $s4, 100. He was ineligible for the Belmont Futurity which was won by Porter's Mite In world rec- ord time.
 E. Patrick Meloy. veteran track man who has been galloping Fl Chico in training here, is the colts best booster.
 "If I was 20 years younger I could sit still and even go to sleep and win the derby with a horse like Fl Chico under me-" he said.

Two Hundred thousand
Nipponese Farmers
Must Look Elsewhere
The Show Place of Juneau

TOKYO, July 19-After six weeks
of trying, Japan has abandoned
plans to train 10000 girls TO be the
brides of Japanese farmers living
in Brazil.
The girls, it seems, have all been
wooed and won by Manchoukuo.
Two months ago, the manager of
a Japanese trading company in Bra
zil returned to Tokyo bearing a sad
tale about the plight of the Japan
ese farmers who have settled along
the banks of the Amazon River. He
said at least 100000 of them are
bachelors, condemned to empty
homes and life of loneliness.
AS remedy, he suggested Bra
lillian brides school and with char
acteristic energy, Tokyo authorities
set about at once to organize the in
stitution, modelling it along the
lines of schools already in opera
ton.

producing the perfect wife for him.
The engaged girl hastily enrolls
For the time being, though, the
100000 Japanese bachelors will have
to bear their burdens alone.
Authorities said that the number
of girls interested in going TO Brazil
was too few to make the school
worthwhile. They prefer Manchou-
kuo despite the billiards. and the
bandits. The principal reason is
that it is closer to Japan. A visit
to the homeland is more feasible.
So Brazil will have no Japanese
brides, except those that the Orien-
tai farmers can find for themselves.

JOE pENNER TO
STAR IN COMEDY
HERE TONIGHT
Mr.. Doodle Kicks Off
Will Open at Capitol
Theatre

An unusual, nervous reflex in
duced by a specific musical strain
causes series of hilarious events
which make a football hero of a
would-be band leader in Mr..

current screen comedy opening to-
night at the Capitol Theater.
In this amusing college story
Penner plays the role of a timid

Fiction which causes him to kick
powerfully upon hearing TIL e
strains of Pop Goes the Weasel
inspires his schoolmates to play
innumerable pranks on the young
man.
Because his father is determined
I that the boy shall be a football
star even though the son detests
the sport, the college authorities
are bribed into holding Penner
into a gridiron celebrity against
his wishes.
Although Penner's efforts en- the
football field are a sorry sight to
behold, trick plays are manufac-
tured to make him shine as a quar-
terback without risk to his neck.
On the day of the big game" how
ever, the rival team is wise to the
plays and Penner's reputation as a
pigskin hero dnminishes with each
successive play.
1t is June Travis, as his coed
sweetheart. who saves the day by
recalling Penner's queer affliction.
The band is instructed by her to
play Pop Goes the Weasel" and
the helpless quarterback's amazing

picture to one of the most hilari-
GUS finishes ever witnessed in a

HIGH SCHOOL

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 49,
The term high school, has an extra
meaning to the students at the
Wilson Mesa School, ten miles south
of the mining town OF Vanadium
Col. The school, located on the mesa
more than 10000 feet above sea
level, has the greatest elevation of
any school in the United States.
Because of the heavy SHOWS and
severe Winter weather, which make
transportation on roads to the school
at times impossible, the students
reverse the usual procedure by at
tending classes during the Summer
and mentioning in the winter
months.
