Charles S. Howard has at last learn
ed that no man can keep on throw
ing seYens forever.
Into every life some snake eyes
and box cars must fall.
This time a year ago Howard was
Midas in a tweed suit Everything
he touched around a race track
brought him gold Old line stables
had been trying for years to win
such races as the Santa Anita Han
dicap. the Brooklyn, the Suburban,
the Pimlico Special and other clas-
sic stakes. They couldn't believe
that any one man-Without SO much
as even a breeding farm of his own
could come up with three sdch
horses as Seabiscuit, Kayak II and
Sorteado.
Then. three months ago. when
he added Midland to his string for
a paltry $4,000 and won $4,000 of
this sum back the first time he sent
the Oregon-bred to the post, he
appeared to have both the three
year-old and handicap champion
ships under his control.
But things happen fast in racing
and now Howard, who must have
wondered why these things hadn't
happened before. can realize the
feeling Of Alfred Vanderbilt when
Adventurer was killed in fall;
how William Ziegler, jr., was effect
ed when FL Chico stumbled and had
TO be destroyed how J. H. Louch-
helm grieyed when Pompoon died
suddenly of a rare intestinal all
ment, and how j. A. ManfuSo SUI
fered when his Aneroid was burned
to death in fire in Kentucky a
month ago.
Howard first felt the bad for
tunes OF racing luck when his Ar

suspensory ligament in New York

The new mass merchandising prin-
ciples were applied to coffee and
they were so effective that the A
& P today operates its own plan
tations in Brazil, and imports,
roasts and distributes one out of
every seven pounds of coffee used
by American consumers.
In the next three decades our
company gradually expanded their
line from coffee, tea and spices to
include other groceries, always
with view to bringing more foods
to more consumers" Scrimger
said. by 1884 we were distribut-
ing sugar. BY 1890 baking pow
der, butter and extracts had been
added to our stock. Year by year
we brought a constantly widening
variety of foodstuffs to the Ameri-
can public.
Probably our greatest contribu-
ton to a healthful American diet
was the part we played in making
fresh fruits and vegetables avail
able the year round. 1t is not many
wears since the average home was
limited to canned and dried fruits
and vegetables during the fall and
winter months. The quantity of
fresh fruits and vegetables produc-
ed throughout the country now
compared with that produced prior
to our coming into this field shows
tremendous increase, particular
ly in the southern states whose
produce is consumed during the
! fall and winter seasons.
The A & P, in many instances,
was the first to bring such produce
to northern markets in car lots dur
ing the winter months. Further,
our promotional activities along
these lines have encouraged con
sumers to use fresh fruits and veg
/ etables on a year-round basis and
have benefited both farmers and
consumers.
Broccoli, string beans, peas, let
tuce, tomatoes, oranges, grape
fruit, these are just a
few of the many fresh fruits and
vegetables which were unheard Of
Il in northern winters some years
back, but which even families in
the most modest circumstances can
enjoy today. Strawberries in Jan
uary is a particularly dramatic ex-
ample of this development and one
for which we feel we are largely
responsible. The per capita con
sumption of lettuce has increased
300 per cent in the last twenty

A HUSBAND SEEKS
VENGEANCE WITH A
HUGE KNIFE

Frank Watres made a murderous
assault upon James Pettyjohn on
Saturday evening at Milford, in
fiicting serious injuries. Pettyjohn
is charged with breaking up Wat
res home during the recent impri-
sonment of the latter, and with in
ducing Mrs. Watres to desert her
husband. Pettyjohn and Mrs. Wat
res were together on the streets
Saturday evening and Watres was
stealthily pursuing them, keeping
a close watch upon all their move
ments. AS the man and woman
reached a dark part of the street,
Watres rushed UP and attacked
Pettyjohn with a knife. The on
slaught was furious, but the be-
sieged man tough desperately, and
probably succeeded in saving his
life. He was cut across the hand,
slashed along the biceps of the
right arm, these muscles being
severed, while another thrust sent
the knife into his side in close
proximity to the mans lung. Wat
res thinking he had fatally wound
ed his victim, took to his heels and
has not been apprehended.- Every

sands of pure synthetic compounds
are available in the United States
today, having possible application in
the field of medicine. Thus. our pro-
duction of drugs and medicinals is
rapidly approaching self sufficiency,
with the added advantage of lower
ing of prices on medicinals and drugs
hitherto available only at virtually
prohibitive costs.
Camphor, important in industry as
well as medicine, particularly in the

oily Of a foreign country % years ago.
1t came from the camphor trees of
Formosa, an island owned by Japan.
This industry's life line was threat
ened by the worldwide conflict on
the high seas, and as a result the
pungent substance increased rapidly
in price. Today camphor. chemically
Identical with the natural product, is
made synthetically from turpentine
and sold at fraction of its war time
cost. The Du Pont Company is maxi
ing more than half Of the total do
nestle consumption of this important
product. and in an emergency, plant

vide our entire needs.
Thus another foreign condict with
its consequent disruption of interna-

are concerned. American chemistry
