PERFECT TRACK
 FOR SEAB|SCU|T'
 QUEST TODAY
Seven-Year-Old Cripple" 6-5 Choice to Win
 $1OO,OOO Race
By JACK GUENTHER Limited Press Racing EditOr)

Arcadia, Cal, March 2-(UP)- The largest crowd in the records of western racing streamed into this tiny town today to watch 6 crippled little castoff who once could have been boughet for $2,500 go down the rainbow road of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in his last bid to become the greatest money winner of all time.
 The skies were blue and the track was lightning fast. The odds on the morning line were 6-5 that doughty old Seabiscuit would make that last bid good. A crowd of 75,000 was ex- pecte d to watch hilnb do 1t.
 Seven years old, contender in Ss races, and twice broken down, the Biscuit was one horse against the field. Since only IA were named, the field was the smallest in the races history. But 1t was one of the best and the Biscuit had plenty to run by before he could hope to boost his earnings past Sun Beau's $376, ,744.
 That is the mark he has been try ing to pass for five long years. His chances of attaining the $25 ,644 he needs appeared better today than ever before. The hot sun, cloudless sky and pasteboard track were three of the reasons.
 No Easy Task
 But before it could be attained, he had to carry top weight of 130 pounds against some of the fastest horses in America. His regular rider, red matched Johnny Pollard, was in the saddle to help, and he was further favored by the 18th post position, on the outside.
 Here is what the Biscuit had to whip:
 Kayak 1.-The other half of Sea- biscuits, Charles s. Howard entry; l29 pounds, second choice in the race he won year ago. No. 2 post position. Jockey Buddy Haas.
 Heelfly and Hysterical-The Circle s. ranch coupling, quoted at 3-1. The former had Georgie Woolf, 114 pounds and stall II, while the medio- ere Hysterical drew 10s pounds, W. Dennis and No. {.
 Don Mike and Ra II-Binglin Stable entry, 10-1. Don Mike, 112, Leonard BalaslSi and No. 12; and Ra Il, 118, Moose Peters and No. 4.
 Whichee-Major A. o. Taylor's tough speed horse, was Al with IA pounds. Basil James and No. 2.
 Specify -O Owner A. A. Baroni, Jockey Harry Richards. 116 pounds, sixth stall, 8-1.
 Can't Wait-Myron Selmick own- CT, 108 pounds, Jockey John Longden, 10-1.
 Viscounty-valdina Farm, Jockey E. Rodriguez, no pounds, 8-1.
 War Plumage-Only mare in the race; owner J. O. Brady, Jockey Ralph Neves, No. 10, 107 pounds. Odds, 15-1.
 For the Air
 The other three were apparently sent in just for the ride. They were w. L. Ranch's, Kantan, 100, Nick Wall, No. g and 100-1; Rancho Casitas' Royal Crusader, 100, Lloyd Knapp, No. IA and Sol; and Gaf- fer and Sattler's Wedding Call, 108, Doug Dodson, No. 1 and sol.
 First prize is $90, 900; second, third, and fourth money are $20, $10,000 and $5,000.
 Post time was APO p. m. PSF. The huge crowd was certain to break the $l 500, 900 mark in the mutuels and perhaps even establish a new record there.

AND GARCIA BATTLE
 DECLARED EVEN
Referee Blake Disagrees With Everyone at Ring-
 side; No Ring Decision
By HENRY McLEMORE


 United Press Staff COrresOpndent)
 Los Angeles, March 2-(UP)- Ceferino Garcia today is still the middleweight champion of the world
 Not only that, he is the lucky mid dle-weight champion of the world.
 He retained his title here last night when Referee George Blake awarded him a draw after 10 rounds of flgting with Henry Armstrong holder of the welter weight crown
 Before a disappoirltingly small crowd of 10000, Armstrong, accord ing to the United Press score sheet and the majority of customers, won six rounds and received at least an even break in two more. The cham pion was able to win only two, the second and the seventh. He was given the fifth by Referee Blake be- cause of Armstrong's putting and low hitting, but even this gift did not draw him anywhere near even with the hustling little Negro chal- lenger.
 Armstrong, a former shoe shine boy, put high polish on the pride of the Philippines most of the way. Knowing that Garcia was only dan- gerous at long range, where he could widn up, whistle ana let fly with his bolo uppercut, Armstrong wisely moved to close quarters, with the opening bell and never was more than one layer of skin away from the champion to the finsh.
 He stayed inside, deep inside, and for 10 rounds, threw his failing fists at the Filipino's face and mid-sec- tion until both were raw and bloody. Garcia finished the fight leaning against the ropes with his mouth wide open and his right eye in the same condition. Save for a lump on his left eye, and slashed lip, Arm strong was as fresh after the bout as when he began 1t.
 Not Much Damage
 Neither fighter came even close to scoring Q knockout, but in the eighth round Armstrong rocked his bigger opponent with a volley of head punches. He delivered these from long range, without advance notice, he suddenly stepped back and let the Filipino have 1t with both barrels. Barcia staggered but recovered quickly and went into a clinch to end the threat.
 They came out cautiously with the first bell and came to close quarters. They stayed there during most of the fight although Garcia almost continually backed up in an to get a clear shot at the always boring-in Negro. Ninety per cent of the punches thrown during the 10 rounds were delivered while the boxers shoulders or heads 
 It was rough, tough but unspec- tacular fighting.
 In California the decision is en- tirely u pto the referee. Blake, for mer manager of Fidel La Barba and recognized as one of the country's most dependable third men, never officially announced his decision. He left the ring immediately after the 10th round bell and sent back his Garcia and Armstrong alike.
 The exact take was not revealed but it was estimated that 10000 or so customers paid in the neighbor- hood of $60000 to see the show in Gilmore stadium.

Three important conclusions have
been brought out: First, that money
can be saved by applying economical
methods in heating. Second. that
substantial savings are being ac-
complished, examples cited showing
reductions in cost up to 81 per cent;
and third. that specific information
is available to show others ''how to

How much has been learned from
the heating study is indicated by
the records Of one company selling
steam to commercial properties. The
figures disclosed that over a To-
year period customers Of the or
ganization have reduced their yearly
steam consumption from BIS ATS 900
pounds to kS5, $3.50, 900 pounds.
This experience is paralleled by
results reported in other sections.

q definite heating schedule should
be set up and adhered to, along with
which the heating equipment must
be kept in best operating condition.
Where scientific methods come
into play is in the matter Of control
and, while large reductions in the

By THE OLD CABINETMAKER.

Mahogany beloved by the 18th
century masters has been the king
of furniture woods for more than
two hundred years. The mahogany
tree grows slowly and In dense jun
giles. 1t is O. mighty tree attaining
q height of more than one hundred
feet. The great trunk often grows to
a size of 10 feet or more in diameter.
Unlike many trees we know it does
not grow in great numbers together.
1t stands in the jungle like SEN
tinel, towering high and majestical-
ly. At one time mahogany was re-
lated to the magnolia tree. which
seemed to have been the means Of
evolving many of our species. Ma
ture evolved from this true bo-
tanical genus on one side which to-
day bears the botanical name Swie-
tenia, or genuine mahogany. From
another branch evolved the walnut
tree, thus the resemblance of these
two trees. We have today three
botanical species of genuine ma
hogany. Two of these grow in the
Americas and one in Africa. In
America 1t grows in Mexico, Central
America, Amazon, Peru and the
West Indies, where is found Cuban.
Santo Domingo and Haitian maho-
gany.
The mahogany tree must, by rea-
son of its scattered growth, be
searched out in the dense jungle.
The discovery of these majestic trees
more than repays this task Once
the tree Is located natives are started
clearing an area around its trunk,
a very heavy growth Of vines, bushes
and plants always surrounding them.
After this clearing process the
great giant son goes down In q
laundering crash.
Philippine mahogany Is not true
mahogany. 1t is an old type Of
plant life. 1t evolved from, and be-
longs to. an entirely different species
Of plant life than the botanically
true mahogany, known as Swietenia
mahogany. Philippine mahogany
is known as tanquile or red lavaan.
There are other species which
are generally known as haywood.
These species are soft, so soft, that
it is possible to dent deeply with
ones finger nail. This type is very
light in weight and not good as a
cabinet wood.
Tanquile is a hard wood, parti-
cularly that which grows on the I'D
lands. 1t is a coarse grain fibrous
wood. II Is reddish In color and does
not have the ability to age into q
soft old color. It rarely is cut into

which acts as a weatherstripping,
and inside the T-shaped tube Is To-
Gated spring which does the sash

have difnculty in filling the coarse
pores, many applications being
necessary to produce good smooth
finish. While it is not as adaptable
to structural uses as true mahogany
yet it does make desirable furniture.
Much solid furniture is made Of
Philippine mahogany and gives good
service. The natives of the islands
use 1t extensively for many SOU

COUGH MEDICINE SAFE FOR
 KTnS


 This is the right time of year, regret to remind you, to talk about cough medicine. With the starting of indoor heating the season of coughs, is on.
 In the first place please let me work 8 prophylactic suggestion in here, and then we'll see about some cough medicine.
 I have monograph, yours for the asking if you inclose stamped en- velope bearing your address on air conditioning and humidification in the home. It gives instructions for maintaining the comfort zone, the healthful temperature and humidity in the air, no matter what type of heating you have in your home. Keep the atmospheric conditions in the comfort zone and you'll keep your family free from many a cough or cri which would otherwise find one or more susceptible sub ,jects in the home.
 For cough or cri medicine, for use at home or away from home, I recommend the Fool Proof Cough Medicine. Briefly this is how:
 Steep or boil 20 to 30 minutes a heaping teaspoonful of whole flax seeds in pint of water. Then dis solve in the f1axseed tea one ounce of sodium citrate (citrate of soda formerly used in modifying milk for infants) and one ounce of glycerin. (One ounce is approximately two tablespoonfuls). Then add the juice of lemon, and three or four drops of peppermint flavor. Finally strain the pint of medicine through mus lin. Dose, for infant teaspoonful, for older child or adult a tablespoon full, every two hours, for two or three days. This is for acute cough or cri. The same medicine may be tried, if desired, for more prolonged or chronic cough or it may be taken regularly for an indefinite period it is quite harmless in any case If used for more than two or three days, 8 fresh batch should be pre- pared every alternate day. The med icine is diuretic (promotes kidney se- cretion), diaphoretic (promotes
