The Kentuckidns

Col. Matt Winn of Kentucky, hav-
ing left 80 well behind, is even more
active than usual in rounding up his
next Kentucky Derby.
At the same time Col. E. R. Brad
ley at 81 still has his Lexington
posses out looking for another Derby
winner.
Colonel VIM has seen all the Ken
lucky Derbies ever run since the
first one In 1875, and he hopes to
turn the Seventeen Derby anniver-
sary, three years further on, into the
greatest pageant of them all.
It has been some time since
Colonel Bradley won one of these
Bluegrass features, so he is equal
ly active in having another three
year-old ready soon, one with a
chance to win. His Bimelech just
missed out.
Colonel VIM has an idea at this
moment that Alsab may be the
greatest Derby winner of all time.
AS great as Alsab is, there is a wide
gap between a two-year-old and a
three-year-Old, considering all the

rather than the day of birth. Thus
two Japanese children, although
born 1854 days apart, are legally

THE ATTIC-IN WHICH
MEMORIES. TOO. ARE ste
released by Western Newspaper Union.)

THE ATTIC-IN WHICH
MEMORIES, TOO, ARE STORED
EVERY wel-ordered home should
have an attic as a place for the
storage of memories. In the attic
the memories will lie dormant until
there comes a moving day. When
that time comes, its long-forgotten
treasures will be revealed and the
problem of disposing of those treas
ures will be a serious one.
There will be found the crib and
high chair the babies used years
ago. Those babies are now grown
to men and women. They have
homes and families of their own in
PARKWAY places. What memories
of their days of babyhood-the days
when the home echoed the happy
prattIe of little children-those SIM
pie bits of Iong-discarded furniture
bring back. There can be no more
babies to use them, but it is hard
to let them go.
In a litter of the attic are found
the school and college dance pro-
grams of the daughter. Written on
them are the names of boys, many
of whom we have long forgotten, but
those names recall memories of
hopes for the daughters future,
of evenings when one or another
"called" and Ma" and I retired
from the parlor or living room and

pirate hour for the young mans de-
parture. Ransacking the attic gives
one an opportunity to live over
again those cherished days of the
long ago.
You dig out of the clutter the uni
form you wore as soldier before
the turn of the century and with it
the sword that was your badge of
Office. They remind you Of the long
forgotten comrades of those soldier
days.
Then you find MAS" wedding
dress and hat and marvel at the
style and size of the dress. You re-
call incidents of that happy day
when you took her from the home
in the little Iowa town to a new
home In the city. You recall those
who were present at the wedding
ceremony. Most of them you have
not heard of for years and you Won
der at what changes life may have
brought to them, what success or
failure may have been their lot.
These are but typical of the thou
sands of incidents the contents of
the attic will bring back to you.
Each item, as you dig it out Of the
accumulation, presents a problem.
Can you discard it? Can you throw
away the old lamp beside which you
spent so many pleasant evenings?
Should you not keep the old and
badly worn quilt your mother
''pieced" and quilted so many,
many years ago? There are the
pictures of friends of the long ago,
some of which are now hard to re-
call, but when you do, they live
again. Should you not keep each
and every one of them, as well
as the thousands of letters you spend
hours and days rereading?
Yes, the attic is a storehouse Of
memories. A storehouse that offers
more problems when you move than
does all the rest of the house to-
gether. In the end you keep much
of it to be stored away in another
attic that becomes another store
house of memories and presents
other problems should you ever
move again.

The TWo Races

Although spring practice is three
months away, American league
managers-plus owners-plus ball
pIayers-are still brooding over the
promised strength of the Yankees.
In the meanwhile, the National
can look forward to another all
summer scramble among Dodgers,
Cardinals, Reds and possibly Pi-
rates or someone else.
The Reds with Johnny Wander
Nicer and Elmer Riddle on hand to
help out their pitching veterans will
be a better club next spring if Bill
McKechnie can plug one or two
gaps. Bill is lucky these gaps are
not in his pitching department, the
toughest canyon to fill up.
Having located large part of
his control, Wander Nicer is likely to
be one of the great pitchers of 1912.
So is Riddle.
But at this point American league
clubs can see no light rays of any
consequence. Seven of them are
looking into holes as deep and as
dark as the mouth of a railroad
tunnel.
The Red Sox still haven't the
pitching or the defensive speed to
close up that big gap between them
selves and the Yankees. The Red
Sox still lack the infe1d ground
covering speed needed to help any
pitcher along. The Yankee infeld
has killed off many a rap starting
for a base hit that Red Sox infeld-
ers couldn't have handled.

ONE WAY OF GETTING
THE FACTS TO PEOPLE

SECRETARY MORGENTHAU is
asking congress for another heavy
tax increase, one that will produce
an additional seven or eight billion
dollars each year. He also asks for
legislation that will collect all fed
eral taxes at the source, that the
taxes be deducted from the pay en-
velopes of employees and from the
dividend checks to stockholders.
Such action by congress would give
the mass of the people a better
understanding of what they pay for
what government provides. It would
give them facts our system of ''hid-
den" taxes has long denied the
greater portion of the American
people. It would make for a more
intelligent citizenship and more IN
teIligent voters. Let us hope the
politicians may accept at least that
part of the secretary's recommen-
dalton.
