Jockeys, Like Ladies, Have
 Weight Shedding Worries

to a certain desired limit is no good in the saddle If he Is too weak to handle his powerful mount.
 Therefore, we must use caution in that when reducing a boy we re- tain his strength. Growing boys particularly young apprentices, crave sweets and starches just like all normal boys. No two boys re- duce alike. Some find no difficult ty In taking off surplus pounds: others face harder task and must deny themselves every bit of fat- tening food. It is up to us to find out what particular reducing meth- cd will best apply to each individ- ual.
 T have worked on most major tracks, and the Hialeah reducing equipment and recreational facili- ties for jockeys are the finest to be found anywhere in the country or in Europe"
 To make good his boast, Hawley proudly pointed to the two latest type of electric sweating cabinets the new rubbing tables, the five cots for the riders to rest on after coming off the road or between rac- es; the elaborate medicine chest with reducing creams and every type of first aid materials, the six and l0-pound medicine balls, the punching bags, skipping ropes, the body exercises; the handgripS to strengthen wrists and forearnls, two important essentials in good riding; the bicycle machine on its station- ary stand; the six showes the hos pital room; the long-rubber coats which completely encase the body in the sweating-out process, and the electric blanket, Hawley's big feature.
 Works We'll
 The electric magnecoil blanket contains three miles of wires with boots to fit over the legs and spe- cial electric pads. The electric blanket and attached units serve two purposes. One is for further reducing treatment after coming out of the electric cabinet, and the other, and most important, to aid in the treatment of bruises and in- juries received in accidents. The electric current passes through the body of the injured and creates q new flow of blood to the affected parts. The boots are used for leg bruises and the pads for pains con- centrated in certain small areas.
 In the locker room where the jockeys keep their riding parapher- nalia, is an amusement area. This space contains a billiard table, two combination revolving checker and backgammon tables, number of wall tables and chairs for card games, ping pong table and re- freshment counter.
 And, just outside the jockey quar- ters is the tennis court, constructed last year for the riders.
 Life around here isn't 50 bad, Is it?" Hawley queried with big smile.

 And, because the diAease strikes high and low and strikes east, west, north, and south, the entire nation should rally to the support of those who, through the National Founda- ton are devoting their lives to the laboratory war against this vicious scourage.

There are those who stiil speak of the so-called Golden Age Of sports with reverence and awe of the glittering 1o20s and their Deinpseys, Oranges, Joneses, Ruths and Tildens.
 But so back over the fast.fading io30s and you'll discover that the past decade more than holds its own by comparison because how can you overlook such things as:

MlNlOl, cld,, DeC. SS-4ne QedI ladies may have their troubles with calories, starches and the waist-line in general, but such worries are little less than nothing when com pared to those problems faced by jockeys,
 The svelte figure of milady Is de- manded for fashions sake, but not SO the jockey on whose weight de- bends a livelihood. Increasing weight is the bugaboo of every rid- CT, and to that end he must ever concentrate-if he would remain a jockey for any length of time.
 To make things easier on the growing boy as well for the older riders who must keep within @ cer- tain poundage, Messrs. P. A. B. Widener and Joseph E. Widener, President and Chairman of The Board, respectively of The Miami Jockey Club, and Marshall Cassidy, Director of Racing, have installed the very last word in equipment and conveniences in the Hialeah Park jockey quarters. t
 The important task of keeping the jockeys fit falls on the should CTS of Frank Hawley, superinten- dent and chief rubber in this de- partment. Hawley has spent the greater part of his lifetime taking care of jockeys on the major tracks of the country to include the states of California, Florida, Ohio, New York and the New England section,
 Hawley estimates that he has worked on some 4ooo jockeys in the last l5 years, and he, therefore, feels he knows thing or two about weight reducing. His list contains the names of famous riders of the past and present, such as Earl Sande, Clarence Turner, Tommy McTaggert, Georgie Ellis, Steve O'Donnell. Mack Garner, Harry Lunsford, Harry Lilley, Chick Lang, Georgie Woolf, Sonny Workman Eddie Arcaro, Don Meade, Irving Anderson, Basi lJames, Buddy Haas Earl Stevenson and Alfred Robert son.
 Average
 Hawley states that the average apprentice rider will tip the scales at from l02 to i04 pounds while the Older boys will keep pretty well within l08 to ll0 pounds. Hawley contends that liquid more than food puts on the surplus pounds, and he backs up this statement by saying that 65 per cent of the nor- maj weight is moisture-therefore, sweating is the principal reducing factor.
 Hawley believes that no rider should reduce more than three pounds at a time, and he advocates indoor cabinet treatments to those of roadwork. He bases his conten- ton on the fact that the road pounding or jogging over the track Is too fauguing In connection with reducing.
 Asked what his toughest assign- ment has ever been, he replied: T believe Jockey Georgie Ellis was the hardest task, Ellis let himself go one winter, and before he knew 1t he was up to i36 pounds. It took me month to get him down to i0s pounds. This Is pretty drastic res ducing, and ordinarily would hesi- tate to recommend such Q course It is better to establish c systema- tic and slower process of reduction and one that will react favorably on the body. In reducing jockeys we face Q serious problem. Just taking weight off rider doesn't mean that he Is fit to ride. Far from 1t. The main thing to keep in mind Is that he must retain his strength after losing this extra weight. Weight reducing can mean drastic weakening of the whole body. A jockey who has reduced

THE HOLY TERROR
By HI. G. Wells
BY Beruice FinneSan

The H. G. Wells Of old is back
again with a book about tomorrow.
1.-THE Holy Terror" is the story
Of Rud Whitlow, the pasty-faced
spoiled child Of middel-class Bri-
fish parents. When other boys call
him 1.-THE Stink" it made him SO
angy he decides to spend the rest
of his life getting back at them.
Lashed by frustrated ambition,
cringing, whining, conniving, he
turns his liabilities into assets and
becomes dictator of the entire
world. Rud Whitlow studies the
methods of other political and reli-
gious parties-Fascists, Commun-
lists, even Northumberland Dor
rows from them all. Finally he
hits upon his own slogan, Com
mon Sense for the Common Man
He POUNDS a Common Sense Par.
ty" to push his Common Sense
Plan" His first step-remember
he's an Englishman-is to line UP
the United States. Needless to say
the job is a pushover.
But it takes the Second World
War to bring Rud into his own. His
military man, Reedley, tries to be-
come World Field Marshal and
steal the movement, but Rud is
ready for him and blows him of
the face of the earth.
Rud gets all his ideas from one
man brain trust named Chiffan who
talks like H. G. Wells but acts like
DR.. Goebbels. Chiffan has twenty
seven mistresses in succession and
twenty-eight times as many brains
as Rur, but he recognizes that Rud
is a born leader and follows him
everywhere.

Just as Thomas says Hitler had
laid the economic base for a Unit
ed States Of Europe, so H. G. Wells
shows the fanatical Rud Whitlow
laying the economic base for his
own dream-a World State. In the
end, however, Rud cracks up and
meets his death at the hands Of the
boy he most admired in school, a
boy whose virtues he could never
acquire himself.
1.-THE Holy Terror" is not satire
on any existing dictatorship. It has
many obvious parallels with all
the dictatorial regimes, but it is
primarily a projection Of these
types Of government into the fut-
ure and gives US glimpse of the
shape Of things to come If Fascism
bestrides the earth.
