at the Lakeside club when I qucr-
led him.
"a mans pride in his own judg-
ment is the answer, believe Blng
said. 1.-The owner is the one respon-
sible for the purchase OF the horse
and he just hates to admit that he
was wrong So he strings along with
him even after everybody else knows
the horse can't run lick. Take me
with High Strike and Sabueso. /
STAYED with them long after 1t was
evident to everyone else that they
couldn't beat a fat man out OF
the front door. And there's another
angle that accounts for an owner
hanging on when everybody else has
given up. That's the natural liking
for a horse a fellow gets. When
horse has been eating out OF your
hand for a year or two, and muzzllng
YOU when you enter his barn, we'll,
he becomes a sort of friend and you
don't quit on friends, do you?'
Director Butler, who did the line
picture Kentucky and who knows as
much about horseflesh as any one in
these parts, wasn't at all surprised
by my question.
Hell, you just own a horse once
and see what happens he said
In the first place, the trainer gives
you a line of talk that convinces
you the horse has the possibilities
of Man O War. If it takes him
two minutes to run mile the train
er says he is bringing him along
slowly or that he will find himself
| in a week or two, or that he can't
hurry him in his work with rlch
stake still two months off. Soon you
begin to believe that your horse Is
potential Santa Anita winner that
needs only a little time and a little
luck to win a. fortune. Then, there
is the outside chance that all the
good horses will drop out and that
your horse will be dropped in there
with his own class of dogs to beat.
There are very few men who can
resist 100 to l shot. And that goes
double when the long-shot belongs
to you"
There's your answer for the 100
to 1 shots. A mighty good answer
too, because 1 just played one in
the winter books.

Jacobs Answers
Donation Request
By Staging Bout

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 18.
UP)-Dr. Burris jenkins, pastor OF
the Community church, said today
that he asked Fight Promoter Mike
Jacobs for a $4,000 donation to
his church building fund and in
stead of getting it, was cut in the
gate of a Joe Louis championship
bout.
He hoped the fight would make
a nice bit of change for his church,
but he expected some unfaoraple
reaction to the temporary alliance
between pulpit and prize ring.
The fight will be held here in
March between Louis and the win
ner of series of elimination fights.
DR.. Jenkins, who has done the un-
conventional most of his II years,
may be at the ringside. Though
once Missouri boxing commission
er, he never has seen a fight. With
Louis fighting for a church fund,
he may make an exception.

Wonder where they're holding the
Olympic games these years, in Al:

The chaps who dope the basket
ball races in the valley are getting
a little dizzy trying to keep up with
the pace set by schools in pre-
season practices . For the first
time in a dozen years both Imper-
ial and Calipatria must be rated
ahead of Brawley when the league
gets underway one week after New
Years.
Calipatria dropped a close game
to Brawley jaycees and Coach ShelA
don Loughborough of Brawley high
remarked, They're IS points better
than We are"
Brawley then lost practice game
to Imperial by seven points, which.
according to Loughborough's fig
uring, makes Calipatria eight points
better than Imperial j.. Brawley,
by the way, holds a 1918 win over
Holtville E. Which establishes the

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Now is a good time for every
restaurant, cafeteria, and house
wife to check their dishwashing
methods. Colds and other infec-
tiouS diseases are very common,
and are easily spread from one
restaurant patron to another or
from one member of the family to
the other members. Every eating
place, whether a restaurant or a
private home, can become public
health problem unless special pre-
cautions are taken in dishwashing.
| After the dishes have been scrap
ed in hot soapy water, there are
three methods of rinsing recon-
mended by Mr.. R. c. Beckett, the
state sanitary engineer. Any of
these methods will disinfect the
dishes.
The first and probably the easiest
method is to scald the dishes by
rinsing them thoroughly with boil
ing water. Only water which is ac-
tually boiling is safe for rinsing
dishes this way. Tap water Is not
hot enough.
A second simple method is to
cover the dishes with water which
is steaming hot and allow the rish-
es to remain covered for two min
uteS.
The third recommended method
is little more unusual. A chlor-
inc solution is added to a cold or
lukewarm rinsing water There
are several chlorine solutions on
the market or a solution can be
prepared from chloride of lime. The
correct amount of chlorine is so
parts of chlorine per million parts
of water. This amount can be de-
termined by the use of chlorine
test papers which turn color when
immersed in a chlorine solution.
Once the correct amount On chlor-
inc has been determined by the use
of these test papers, the same
amount can be added to each rinse
water. The amount of chlorine
needed to disinfect dishes is not
enough to affect the taste of food
served from the dishes. Further in
formation about suitable chlorine
compounds and test papers can be
obtained from the State Board of
Health.
Most homes will probably find it
most convenient to disinfect their
dishes by hot water. Places which
serve larger numbers such as res
taurants, school cafeterias, and
hospitals may prefer to use the
chlorine method if their hot water
or steam facilities are limited.
Unless there is large supply of
clean towels, it is more sanitary to
drain the dishes than it is to wipe
them. A convenient way is to have
wire basket which fits into the
pan of rinsing water and which can
be lifted out.
No one would knowingly infect
another with a cold. Careful dish
washing methods can help you
from spreading colds unknowingly.

MONOXIDE GAS
PERILS DRIVER
Exhaust Gases Now Believed
Cause of Many Unexplained
Accidents on Highways
DRIVERS ARE UNAWARE

Here's a cold weather warning
from the Delaware Automobile As
sociation, A. NJ. A.
Check your car for carbon mon
oxide, the most insidious enemy OF
motoring"
On the basis of engineering in
vestigations it is believed that
many otherwise unexplained high
way accidents are due to drivers
unknowingly breathing dangerous
amounts of escaping exhaust gases,
especially in cold weather when
car windows are kept closed
Reports of Investigations receiv-
ed by the Association show that in
two percent of the vehicles tested
the carbon monoxide concentration
was found potentially dangerous.
The source of the trouble was
traced to one or more of the fol-
lowing defects in the exhaust sys-
tenn:
Loose exhaust pipe or manifold
connection, blowout exhaust gas
ket, cracked exhaust manifold,
leaky muffler or faulty design of
the exhaust system. Exhaust gas
es escaping from these defects may
enter the vehicle in large quantities
without the driver being aware of
the danger, it is asserted
Motorists generally" said Will
liam j. Lackey, President of the
Association, realize the danger of
carbon monoxide in closed garages,
although annually many are killed
through failure to take proper pre-
cautions. The danger to driver on
the open road has not been suf-
ficiently emphasized. 1t now ap-

ton, and which may be drawn upon
by him at any time, is subject to
tax for the year during which so
credited or set apart, although not
then actually reduced to possession.
If the services were rendered dur
ing the year 1888, or even prior
thereto, but the compensation was
not received, or made unqualifedly
subject to demand, by the taxpayer
until the year 1889, the entire
amount is taxable in 1889 when the
taxpayer is reporting on the cash
receipts and disbursements basis,
which is the basis used by most in
dividuals in reporting net income.
The names of all employees to
whom payments of $1,000 or over
a year are made must be reported
by their employers. The informa-
tion returns should be made on
Form 1899, accompanied by trans
initial Form 1896. These returns
should be filed on or before Febru-
airy Is, 1910, with the Commission
er of Internal Revenue, Returns
Distribution Section, Washington,
d. @.
All Of the various types of COM
pensation, unless specifically ex-
empt by statute, should be included
in the taxpayers return of gross
income, such as salaries, wages,
fees, commissions, bonuses, tips,
honorariums, prizes, awards, retir-
ing allowances for past services,
etc. Where services are paid for in
whole or in part with something
other than money, the fair market
value of the thing taken in pay
ment must be included as income.
Other items subject to tax are fees
received by ministers of the gospel
for funerals, baptisms, masses, and
like services; executors fees; di-
rectors' fees; jury fees; and prizes
received in contests of various
kinds.
The salaries of officers and en-
ployees of tn United States, includ-
ing the President, judges of courts
of the United States, the Vice
President, and Members of the
House of Representatives and the
United States Senate, are subject
