ARCADIA. Calif.-The names of
the horses who go tomorrow in the
sixth Santa Anita handicap were
dropped through the little white
entry box today amidst predictions
that the eventual field would be
the smallest in the history OF the
500. 900 classic.
As the slips dropped one by one,
the skies were blue and the track
was drying fast.
Unless il rains again the
track will probably be fast by
race time--4:20 p. NJ, psf.
II IL II, then the citizens Of
Los Angeles and environs will
be solidly back Of Seabiscuit
In the race that can make the
G. 3. Howard star the richest
money winning horse ever
bred.
Seabiscuit's price has been sink
ing ever since he won the $4,000
San Antonio handicap last Satur-
day In a breeze and he and his
South American stablemate.
Kayak II, are expected to waiver
between 6-5 and even money when
the blgler sends them away on
the mile and a quarter chase.
The Biscuit and Kayak ended
work In top condition and many
experts are picking them to finish
one-two. Seabiscuit was clicked
in 100 3-5 hsndily for a half in
the mud while Kayak went the
same distance in 1:01 lis with
Buddy Haas, his new jockey, in
the saddle for the first time. Haas
said he was perfectly satisfied.
BOTH TO RUN
Howard announced that both
horses would run, come what may
in the way OF weather, and
Trainer Tom Smith said that the
stable was declaring to win with
the Biscuit. The Biscuit needs
only s26,664 to supplant the Sun
Beau mark, and first money in
the Santa Anita is around 500, 900.
Back of the big boys, vying for
second position, are Heelfly,
Whichee and Specify. They get a
play because they are 'front.'

save ground and stay out of

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, May 21-War stocks
today led the market in one of the
widest breaks in two years as severe
allied reverses brought visions to
Wall Street of a German-forced
quick peace.
Losses ran to 13 or more points
for pivotal steels, aircrafts, electrical
equipments, coppers, motors and
chemicals. The ticker tape fire.
quently was behind floor dealings on
the downswing, slowing on feeble
recovery shifts. Quotations were
above the lows in most cases at the
close with dealings speedy. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares,
biggest turnover since last Sep
tember.
The list Topped at the start, with
a number of issues late in making
their appearance. due to the in
ability of specialties to coordinate
bid and asked prices.
The main depressant, brokers said,
were dispatches telling of brisk Nazi
advances, defeat of the 9th French
Army. capture of the French Gen.
Giraud and the approach of the
invading forces to the English Chan
mel. Later bulletins from battle
fronts failed to hearten speculative
contingents and, after intermittent
steadiness, the slide was resumed.
Major commodities weakened.
Bonds generally followed stocks, al
though German and Danish dollar
loans moved upward. The free"
British pound sterling dropped sub
stantially, along with the French
franc.
Utilities and rails were lesser suf-
ferers than others, but they were
well down at the finish.
Conspicuous losers included U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet,
Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft,
Glenn Martin, Boeing, Lockheed,
Sperry, General Motors, Chryslar,
U. S. Rubber, Allied Chemical, West
inghouse, Down Chemical, Philip
Morris, Loft, Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Anaconda, American Smelt-
ing, Kennecott, Du Pont, Eastman

MORE THAN INTELLIGENCE

Students who honor this newspaper
bv reading it are entitled to the best sug-
geStionS that we can offer
They are reminded that institutions of
learning should be more thar intelligence
factories What students acquire from
the study of books is important but if this
is all they get, the nation might as well
save some of the estimated $4,000, 100000
that it spends annually upon education.
We hope that Monroe County stu
dents will take full advantage of their OPP
portunities to develop the democratic
virtues that make good citizens. In their
daily activities as they mingle with each
other, at work and in play, students can
learn much that will enable them, later in
life. to cooperate successfully with their
neighbOrS.
Intelligence is an asset to the IN
dividual, as he strives with his fellOw-man,
but not every intelligent individual is an
asset to society There are other virtues
that one must acquire TO be considered
educated and many things to learn before
one puts on the cloak of culture.

THE GUARD MOVES ON!

Citizens of Key West who have had
some doubts about the sincerity of those
who started out to form what is now known
as the Key West Guard have had those
doubts entirely dissolved during the past
two weeks as one announcement after
another issues forth from headquarters
company about plans and progress
made.
More especially was the movement
brought up to q ranking position of worth
mess to the community when it was di-
vulged yesterday that, in case of emer-
gency of any kind whatsoever, the Guards
will be sworn in as deputy sheriffs. Thus,
in lieu of official recognition by the State
and Federal authorities, we have the
means that will prove most effective in the
guarding of Key Vests interests.
OF course, it is quite possible that the
home guard movement throughout the
nation will receive official standing of
some sort by Congressional action. That's
to be expected, especially since all Ma
ticnal Guardsmen will have been called to
encamcments within a short period of
time, leaving communities in need of
policing protection in cases of emer-
gency.
In the meantime, the Key West Guard
moves forward. It's ranks are being added
to each week and there is every assurance
that before enlistments close, a full bat
TALON of over 200 members will have an
Swercd the call to community patriotic
duty.
The Citizen observes, with interest,
that guiding officials have provided most
effectively for future program of Guard
activity It's not going TO be solely mat
ter of drills and more drillS-but lectures
provided by those who are conversant with
problems that the Guard might meet up
with will be given and in many other ways
the members will be made conscious of the
seriousness of their organization.
Key West can we'll be proud of the
Guard 1t may certainly rest easier in con-
temptation of good protection afforded by
its existence.

the sender, any complaint of any citizen to
the extent of twenty words.
The idea is novel. 1t may be COM
mendable. Even So it would hardly work
in this country, if the government owned
the telegraph systems. No American can
express his complaint, when he has one, IN
twenty words. Instead of pleasing the
complainant. the Mexican system would
only infuriate him the more.
