DO YOU REMEMBER

I see in the local paper that a
swell jockey is goin' to ride here
and if he can boot EN- in here like
he boots en- them on the coast, he
will burn the local track up. His
name is G. Dye. His record to
date shows that he weighs 100
lbs, had 1876 mounts, % wins, 10
seconds. 8 thirds, unplaced ST
times, and a percentage of H..
Here is the name of another jock
ey who is going to ride here. HIS
record is not so hot But you re-
member G. Bierman wasn't so hot
but he turned out to be star ri
der out East. This boy is r. w.
Smith. His record to date is:
weight 102, 8 mounts, l win. l
second, no third, unplaced times
and percentage IL. Protecting your
bets it frequently happens that a
player thinks the favorite in a
pa, ticular race is really a solid
bet and that it should win. He may
however have horse feeling that
some long shot in the same race
may be a sleeper and liable to
como through with a win to pay
off at box car figures. Right
there he has problem. If he
plays the long shot and later sees
the favori.e win he may feel that
he was foolish in trying to knock
down the horse that really fig
ured. Should he back the favorlte
and then see it defeated by the
long shot, he feels like kicking
himself all over the place so the
question arises what to do?
One successful operator found
himself confronted with this same
problem quite frequently. He Is a
man who likes to take a chance
on long shot but at the same
time he does not believe In play
ing two horses in the same race
but in this case he makes a nice
bet on the long shot and then bet
enough on the favorite to cover
the amount of his first wager. He
thereby protects his bet. If he bet
$40 on the long shot he bets en-
ough to win $50 on the favorits
if the favoiite is to l he bets
$40 ON it. Then if it wins he breaks
even on the race. His real bet Is
on ,lhe long shot. The second bet
is simply insurance. He is not fl
curing on winning with the fa-
vorite but he uses it TO insure his
bet. There may be times when both
horses lose but that is very un-
usual. On the other hand by cash
ing rather fresuently on horses

M. S. Will he ever forgive m,
for not doing what he asked?
Ans:-It is never necessary
to ask forgiveness for an hon
orable deed. The truth of the
matter is-he owes you an
apology for making such an
ungentlemanly request. Do not
speak to him until such an
apology is made. He is not
such a good "catch" that you
must feel compelled to run af-
ter him, or listen to his indie
cent remarks.

Fans, do you remember a horse
bv the name of Chehalis who won
the last race on opening day last

that shrewed horse player Travis

won and did he have fun oh boy!
Another shrewed player named

Ans:-You have no busin-
ess taking him back when you
do get clear of him. Next time
you get him to leave see that
he stays out. Don't let him
tempt you to take him back
by accepting his money. 1t isn't
worth the price. 1t will be
pretty hard for you to have

Fish Hits Bunkheod's
Criticizing of Neutrality
BY the Associated Press.


GARRISON, N. Y, July s.
Representative Hamilton Fish, Re-
publican, of New York. ranking
minority member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, yester-
day issued a statement which fol-
lows in part regarding the action of
the House Representatives in refus-
ing to repeal the automatic arms
embargo of the Neutrality Act:
Il am amazed at the criticism of
the action of the House of Repre-
sentatives by Speaker Bankhead
after the House by a majority of
40 votes. not a slim majority, in
sisted on an arms embargo to keep
America out Of foreign wars.
Speaker Bankhead should abide
by the decision of the House and not
try to put the responsibility on the
Congress for power politics and
imperialistic wars in Europe.
I'VE have enough to do to put our
own house in order instead of par
ticipating in foreign blood feuds and
wars. -
Il accept the challenge of both
Secretary Hull and Speaker Bank
head and if they insist on trying to
strike out the arms embargo to take
the fight to the American people
and let them determine whether we
should give President Roosevelt -.
the power to put us into war
through the sale of arms for the
sake Of blood money and war profits
to be followed by the youth OF
America"

Inter-Faith Cooperation
Urged by Mrs. Roosevelt

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today
urged Americans to support the cam
paign of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews for better un-
derstanding and cooperation of
Protestants, Jews and Catholics in
making democracy work in this
country.
In an Independence Day state
ment to the organiza ton. Mrs.
Roosevelt said, "Such cooperation
is urgently necessary in view of
much that is happening elsewhere
in the world, if we are to preserve
here the mutual respect for one
another's rights and that inter-
change of friendly services which
we like to think are a part of the
truly American tradition and habit.
The educational campaign that
the National Conference of Chris
tlans and Jews is carrying on in all
parts of the country for the pro-
motion of these ends seems to me
to be a potent and necessary piece
of work which deserves the ap-
proval and support of good citizens
everywhere. The promotion of bet
ter understanding among Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews in America
is truly one of the most necessary
tasks confronting us, not only for the
sake of lasting social peace and good
will but in order that the idealism
of religion may make it's most effec-
tive contribution to the welfare of
the Nation"

extend something they said no longer

Throughout the world, interna-

currencies. So fund officials watched
the markets for any serious changes
in the value of the dollar in terms of
the other currencies and stood ready
to buy or sell few million dollars
or ounces of gold. Throughout the
early part of the day apparently no
action was necessary as the market
value of the British pound, chief
bellwether of foreign currencies, re-
mained within fraction of cent of

the legality of the funds operations
today was being safeguarded by
doing business in the name of the

than in the funds own name.
