R-There's q diamond studded
watch ready for the winner Of
the 1910 American Riding
Championship, but 18-year-old
jockey Earl Dew will never hear
q crowds cheers as he claims 1t.
The Sac City. Ia, youngster
was fatally hurt yesterday at
Aqua Caliente, Mex, race track,
a few minutes before he was to
have received his award--earn-
ed after q stirring duel with Wal
ter Lee Taylor Of Houston, Tex.
Dew rode 287 winers last year
to Taylor's 286. The Iowan won
out Jan. 81 at Santa Anita track,
Los Angeles, after Taylor had
been injured In q fall at Tropical
Park, Maimi, Fla.
Dew flew to Caliente yester-
day from San Francisco to be
guest of honor at the Sunday
program. Presentation ceremon-
les, marking his browning % Ma
tional Champion, were to have
taken place after the third race
Of the afternoon. A crowd Of
5000 was on hand.
He entered the third aboard
Bosca. Eleven other horses
were pounding around the
stretch turn when Bosca sudden
ly tripped and went down. Dew
sailed over her head. Two other
horses, Draco and Whiz Shot also
fell, tossing riders Billy Pearson
and Jack Haycock but not in
juring them.
Dew was picked up and taken
to the jockey room, where he
was conscious and talked for
some time. Then he drifted into
coma and died In an ambulance
en- route here, apparently Of q
hemorrhage induced by concus-
sion or q skull fracture. Bosca
died on the track, also of q hem
orrhage.
Son of John Dew, q midwes-
tern horseman, Earl won his first
major race at Omaha, Neb., In
May. 1898. His progress into the
big time was rapid, and he look
ed to Z banner season this year In
which he had set 800 winners as
his goal. gar . 3rs 70.
He took a months rest after
winning last years title, but
came west to ride for the first
time Saturday at the New
Golden Gate track near San
Francisco. He finished third once
in five races.
Quiet, well-mannered an d
popular with other riders, Dew
was tall as jockeys 60. His hobby
was deep-sea fishing and he had
a reputation Of saving money.
On his vacation, when he return
ed to Sac City, he bought q 100
acre farm for his parents. There
his mother was prostfated and
under q physicians care. His
father said funeral services
would be held there, probably
Thursday.
Other survivors include two
brothers. Dale. Is, and Larry, 3,
and q sister, Bethel, II.

I. @. Tests

When the president of a small college comes
out with the announcement that intelligence
tests are no fair measure of a persons ability
to succeed, he is saying only what ordinary
folk have suspected for a long time.
The difference is that he has made a study
to find out just how accurately I. @. tests
measure ability. And his findings leave scant
doubt that while the tests gauge scholastic
ability pretty accurately they don't tell how
the pupil will do in after life.
He found, for example, a number of sales.

His conclusion is the eminently sensible one
that personality and other special aptitudes
count as much as intelligence in getting along
in the world. High intellectual ability counts
for little unless its possessor is able to Use it

JUST SHARE SEEN
FOR AGRICULTURE
Ballentine Sees Harm0ny and
Progress as Result of
Meeting

RALEIGH, Jan. 21.-CR-Agricul-
ture in North Carolina has failed to
receive it's lust share" Of state
moneys in the past several years,
S e tie Agricultural Committee
Chairman Ballentine Of Wake de.
clared today.
The Wake senator asserted that all
agricultural agencies in the state may
expect a full crop of Harmony and
progress" to result from sessions of
the joint senate-house agriculture
committee, which meets tomorrow
for the first time this session.
"Already," the chairman said, ANY
differences between the farm agen-
cies Of the state are ironed out and
the whole problem now is to get a
fair treatment for farm projects from
the appropriations committee"
In this connection it was indicated
the appropriations committee would
be asked for an ALLEGATION of $50, 900
from the general fund to be used by
the experimental division of the N.
&c. State college agricultural depart
ment. In years past the ALLEGATION
for soil and seed experimentation
has been made to the experiment di-
vision from ALLEGATIONS to the depart.
ment of agriculture.
Now, under plans of farm officials,
the chairman said, the $50, 900 previ.
ously used for experiments will be
used by the department for the i'm.
provement of marketing services.
There is absolutely no misunder-
standing or incohesion between eth
er the department, the extension
service or the college farm branch
es," Senator Ballentine said. The
Joint as riculture committee tomorrow
will hear from representatives of all
three divisions, $50 that the commit
tee may get a base for it's work in
backing the state farm program" the
chairman said.
Date for the agricultural agencies
appearance before the appropriations
committee has not yet been set.

Tests Available Here

All young men who registered for

test r urgently requested to go
to the Board of Health office in
the courthouse for the results of
the test, DR.. A. H. Elliot said yes
terday.
Contrary to previous instructions
at the time the test was made
that the results would be mailed to
the draftees, the state and federal
governments have decided that
enough postage-free envelopes are
not available, said DR.. Elliot, and
therefore the draftees must come to
the health office TO get the results.
The office is open every day from
9 to 1 o'clock and from s to S o'clock
in the afternoon. In about a week
the office will open several days at
night in order for all draftees to
be able to get the results of the

y Editorial Comment
AID AND MORE AID
Durham Herald

The concensus of those in our Government
who are in a position to know is that Britain
faces a crisis in the next several weeks. The
war may be won or lost in those weeks before
the help of the United States can give the
British that TRANSMISSION of power which she
needs.
Mr.. Knudsen says that our help cannot be
greatly increased before the end of 1941 in
the normal way; that is, by supplying her
ornaments from our factories at the rate
which we have set-a certain percentage for
US, and a certain percentage for the British.
Mr.. Knudsen evidently believes that if we
are to help Britain quickly we must give up
ornaments for our own armed services and
dispatch them quickly to the British.
This is not to say that all the production OF
our factories must go to the British. Rather
it is that we shall have to give more to the
British and take less for ourselves.
Naturally Germany does not intend to wait
until many months have passed and the flow
of ornaments from the United States to Brit
ain becomes an avalanche before she strikes
at Britain in an attempt to force an end to
the war on her own terms. She will strike
while Britain still, comparatively speaking, is
unprepared.
Rushing aid, therefore, is only to be sensi-
BILE. Two or three planes now will be worth
more than 20, or 40, or a thousand later when
a German victory has been won.
In the face of Britain's great need it is diff
ficult to understand why we have delayed so
long. Our factories cannot continue on a five
day basis. They should be working constant
ly, shift after shift, seven days a week. Peace
time production must be sacrificed; national
defense needs must be paramount.
VIC po1,st oiyo Britain what n paoIo u,hap
she needs it. 1t is the sensible course. Any
other course will contribute to a German VIC
tory and to an eventual bloody war to be
fought by our own people. l

Furniture Mart

The suspicious opening of the exhibition OF
North Carolina-made furniture and rugs at
High Point is of national, no less than state,
interest. For it shows, among other things,
how a Carolina industry is moving up in ma
tional rating.
There will be an attendance of at least 5000
during the span of the exhibition, and this is
notable when it is remembered that the show
ing is not a public one but is restricted to the
trade-actual furniture dealers. The industry
at High Point has advanced so rapidly that
four stories were added to the exposition build
ing, making IA in all, and each floor is filled
with exhibits, as well as two other buildings
In the vicinity.
Wilmington is particularly gratified at this
expansion as it inevitably will mean more
for its port when facilities are pro-
vided for this type of product along with many
others which await the construction of ade-
uuate terminals to man this way because OF
the ~freight-rate advantage Wilmington enjoys
over competing ports, notably Norfolk and
Charleston.
