Advancement Sought

A few, like William Woodward,
have studied blood lines for years
to match strains in the pursuit OF
this advancement. Others have
used horses merely as expensive,
fashionable toys. Regardless OF the
merits of either case, what of this
theory of improvement of the
breed when applied to Howard, the
Johnny me-lately who ran an
investment of $4,000 into 100000?
His horses were no flukes.
Seabiscuit rates as one of the
great horses of history. Kayak II,
with three more years to run, is
carrying on spectacularly. Another
Howard importation, Sorteado, may
develop into the greatest Of the
three.
Maybe Howard is just a straw
!, the wind or maybe he was born
With a midas touch. Yet, with mini
nun expense this San Francisco
businessman singlehandedly has
enreadeagled the handicap division
for three straight years and his
horses one a three legged cripple
and the other a lop cared bar
ooin from Buenos Aires, have beaten
almost every top flight horse pro-
duced by the men who spend their
lives improving the breed.

Senator Francis T. Maloney of
this state delivered what Washing
ton correspondents termed the most
eloquent and dramatic plea of the
neutrality debate so far before the
U. S. Senate yesterday.
For the first time making known
his stand, Senator Maloney told the
Senate he favored repeal and would
vote for the Administrators neu-
trality bill.
The attention of the nations capt.
toll was conferred on Connecticut
yesterday, its two Senators and Rep.
Esilliam j. Miller virtually monopo-
hzing debate on the pros and cons
of embargo repeal.
Senator Danaher continued his
vehement attack on the Administra-
tioz. sill.
See stor Maloney,s speech which
caused so much comment in WASH
ington follows in part:
1t is my opinion-that this bill
will in no way increase the danger
to us-while almost all admit that
there are features of the bill which
add to our protection against war.
With parts of the bill I am not in
agreement. believe that in its pres
ent form it tends to stifle our mer-
chant marine, and unnecessarily de-
mands sacrifices on the part of
American bushes, and seafaring
men, that should at least be lessee
ned. On the other hand, I do not
believe that it goes far enough in
connection with the matter of pay
ments by those to whom we sell our
produce and our products We should
be paid in advance Of their ship
ment. No goods sold to warning ma
tons should go in our ships or in
our name. American ships and
American people should travel in
known danger zones at their OWL
risk, and while such a policy may
be a partial surrender of our rights
we must recognize the realities OF
war. No man, or group of men
should expect his countrymen to

convention Monday night, defeating
the mayor by a TITS vote.
Only q few weeks ago the mayor
named Mr.. Foster as his secretary,
acting on the recommendation Of the
Republican Town Committee. The
committee. headed by Chairman j.
Warren Epson, later battled the
mayor IN q primary contest, at
lacking his political record and de-
claring that he could not be elected
even If nominated.
The organization won 10 Of 30
districts in the primary, and then
advanced Mr.. Foster as its ca1di-
date for the mayoralty nomination.
The mayors supporters claim that
Mr.. Foster should volunteer his
resignation, in view Of the situation.
Mr.. Perriello, however, has made
no comment, and Mr.. Foster has
likewise remained non-committal.

and in that vein are expressing a
conviction, and convictions are ever
SO slowly set aside. I know that the
people who feel so intensely on this

threats they have made, but to act
otherwise than in accordance with

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The name "molasses" came to
us from Latin words meaning
"honey-sweet." Certainly this thick
sirup ranks with honey as one Of
our sweet liquid foods.
Molasses Is obtained from the
Juice OF sugar cane. After the juice
is treated and boiled, 1t turns into
the thick, sweet, brown substance
known as molasses. 1t may be boiled
time and again, and much of the
sugar taken out. After several boil
ings, with q loss Of sugar each time.
it is not good for the table, but can
be used In making food for live
stock.
There is an old saying, "As slow
as molasses in January" Good.
y thick molasses does not move fast
when we pour 1t at any time, and
1t is extra slow when 1t is cold.
Now and then we may hear a
person speak of corn sirup as mo-
lasses, but it is not the same thing.
Corn sirup is glucose, and Is made
chiefly from cornstarch.
We use molaSses, honey, corn
sirup and maple sirup to sweeten
pancakes, also for waffles. These
liquids are fairly popular sweets on
the breakfast table.
AS to sugar, it is popular in :.

-Mo|usses and Candy

Factories send carloads Of candy
in many directions.
When I was a boy, I had q
neighbor who often said, THAT
would be as mean as taking candy
from a baby" Today doctors tell
us it isn't at all mean to take candy
from a baby-in fact, babies ought
not be fed candy.
Small children like to eat "lolly-
pops" and II the candy is pure,
1t does little or no harm. A little
one, however, may touch . carpet,
or In his clothing, or q pet dogs hair
with the sticky lollypop, and in that
case the candy is likely to take
germs to his mouth.
Doctors seem to agree that q
small amount Of pure candy, eaten
at the right time. is not harmful
to a child. 1t may do him good.
The wrong time to eat candy is
shortly before a meal. Even If it
is eaten an hour or two before a
meal, 1t may spoil our appetite for
foods we need for good health. The
best time to eat candy, from the
viewpoint of health, is right after
a meal.

One Of the bids we like least is the

the suit In which the player really
intends to play the hand. However,
South's bidding in today's hand was
doubly bad since not only did he
fake In hearts, but he then cue-bid
in spades before showing his dia-
mond support After that bidding
we really cannot blame North for
leaping to seven hearts, and must
charge South in full for the loss.
incidentally, the loss was really
Hubstantial. Normal bidding would
have brought North and South to
seven diamonds, which was, of
course, a laydown, and they would
have scored 2,140 points. AS 1t was,
