Nc RETURNS
Meets Greyhound
after S0j0URN
By HENRY McLEMORE

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
27. CUP)-Time and tide wait for
no man, and that goes for horses,
too
The time for my vacation came
to an end just at the time the tide
was right for Greyhound, worlds
greatest trotter, to test the sands
of Daytona Beach as a track for a
try at the worlds straightaWay
record
So the two of us met there on
the beach, Greyhound IN the same
old coat that he was wearing when
I last saw him in Goshen a few
years ago, and I in the same old
coat that I wore to that running
of the Hambletonian.
1t was nice to see Greyhound
again after four years. He is the
only thing 1 have seen after four
years who didn't LOOK me over
carefully and say: MY you've put
on lot of weight, haven tyou?'
Greyhound paid no attention TO my
1870 pounds nor l to his 900.
In fact, Greyhound paid little
attention to anything except the
ocean. He had the same look on
his face that Balboa must have
had when he suddenly stumbled
onto the Pacific. Kentucky born
and Indiana raised the seven-year-
old trotter made it plain that the
Wabash by moonlight and the
smell of new mown hay had not
prepared him for the booming
of waves and the shrieking of sea
gullS.
IT was with much reluctance that
Greyhound pulled his racing sulky
and driver, Sep Palm, out on the
beach. During all his workouts
down the beach he kept one eye
suspiciously cast toward the ocean,
and kept swinging toward the
dunes, away from the waves.
Palm, who has driven Greyhound
to all his records, believes that
the big fellow can do a mile IN
$50 or better on the straightaWay,
and he feels that when the horse
becomes accustomed to the marine
track the beach is the place for
him to do it. Greyhound, said by
all the experts to be the greatest
trotter ever in harness, has done
a mile 1:55 Us, and that on a track
with turns. Palm figures the curves
cost him five seconds.
A lot of horse, Greyhound. Pur-
chased by E. J. Baker, heir OF
"bet a million" Gates, for $500 as
a yearling, he has done things that
few believed possible for trotter
to accomplish. Blessed with a mag
nificent and loose motion, and a
great stride Che covers better than
80 feet at one stride when going
all out) he has been clocked in II
and one-half seconds for an eighth
of a mile, which is running horse
time, and good running horse time
too. He is the only harness horse
ever to do a mile in under 2:Ol R
on a half mile track. Greyhound
whipped around the bends in
1891.
Speed isn't ali that is packed IN
his shiny grey coat, either. He has
the stamina of a circus elephant.
1t is not unusual for him to be
worked six or seven miles before
an important race. He likes that
sort of marathon warm-up to get
loosened ana be ready to turn on
the speed. Gentle as a childs
pony, the big gelding is a stable
pet. Only one thing really upsets
him, and that is to be refused an
orange the first thing in the morn
ing. He is usually fed one before
he starts eating the rather unap-
Detizing things on which horse'
breakfast.
My, it's great TO get back to work
again 1 hate Vacations-especially
when they're only a week long.

BIG, BAD WGllANTES
IN IMPERIAL VALLEY

III lucid demonstration of facts can
pierce the murk of pre-conceived false
hoods Lieut-Gov. Ellis Patterson and
officials of Labor's Non-Partisan League
should know with purest conviction to-
day that Imperial Valley is not a COM
munity overrun by british vigilantes and
official thugs.
Labor's Non-Partisan League, which
has advertised the length and breadth
of California its fear that vigilantes
would open the floodgates of violence
should the leagues officials ever appear
unprotected in Imperial Valley, held an
unprotected meeting at the Imperial
county fairgrounds Wednesday night.
Lieut.-Gov. Patterson, who on a previous
occasion summoned all the protection
the California Highway Patrol, the sher-
ifs deputies and the prestige of his
office could afford this time barred his
unprotected person to the full wrath
of the big, bad vigilantes
q There wasn't police officer of any
description within a mile of the meeting.
Nothing appened-absofutely moth
ing. In the way of violence, that is.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that Lieut.
Gov. Patterson and any other intelligent
conscientious person who attended the
meeting at the fair grounds realized the
thing it demonstrated: that stories of Wig
lante violence in Imperial Valley are the
fabrications of radical labor agitators,
fomented in a desperate bid for sympathy
against a community where employees
and employers work SO closely together
that agitation for class hatred has little
chance of success.
Every bit of violence in the history Of
labor troubles in Imperial Valley mas
been created by agitators from outside
the valley, and subsequently, advertised
through radical mediums as the fault
of ''vigilantes" in the valley. There has
never been in the history of Imperial
Valley labor dispute participated in
entirely by Imperial Valley people in
which there was any violence. That al
ways comes when outside elements come
in with the express intention of Great
ing violence.
Imperial Valley people are not fas-
cists. They are not communists. They
are law abiding citizens who dislike trou-
BILE and abhor class hatreds But radical
agitators have found, too, that they are
not doormats with welcome" written
across them and for that reason Impe-
rial Valley is soundly disliked in the
pnkest of pink-tea circles.

SENATOR BYRD
WANTS TO KNOW
{ Alameda Times-Star)

Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
has introduced a resolution in the Senate
asking Treasurer Morgenthau for re-
port of federal money loaned to 30 agen-
cies and corporations which have been
created since the present administration
went into power. Before granting the
request of the President for another four
billion dollars to loan, the Senator in
sists on knowing more about the present
status of the eight billions of the peoples
money that have gone into these enter
prses. In making this request the Sena-
tor is not only within his rights as pub
lie officer but is acting in behalf of the
welfare of the nation as whole.
The country, with Senator Byrd, will
be interested to know the status of these
Investments The general impression
is that much of this money has been
wasted that it as found its way into the
pockets of highly paid officials, scores
of them not only useless but needless;
