RassIers Desert Mat
As Steinborn Falls
Prey 10 Hornet

Those 576 square feet Of canvas in
Joe Turner's boxing and rassling
ring at the Arena aren't enough for
the grapplers to caper on weekly.
Much of the business is carried on
outside the ropes. Last night was
no exception, especially in the fea-
ture match, won by the Green Hor-
net over Milo Steinborn after 25
minutes of in-and-out action. The
end came with one of the principals
outside the ropes. The Hornet had
been tossed out and as he was about
to return Steinborn embraced him
In a bear hug.
The Hornet retaIated with a fist
to Steinborn's jaw that f1attened
Milo for the count. Lou Plummer
once was disqualified for choosing to
argue with fan in the aisles rather
than with Len Macaluso, his oppo-
nent. Len refused to accept this dis
qualification, but won on another

The
SpoRrL-IeHT
Picking Derby Winner
Big Guess This Year
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

Locating the ancient needle in
the equally ancient haystack is just
as simple and easy as locating the
next Derby winner in the bluegrass
sWales of Kentucky. I can't recall
having seen before as many baff1ed
expressions on the faces of so many
able, veteran trainers when you
bring up this argument. The same
goes, of course, for the PreakneSs.
The list of those approached to
pick up some form of intimate in
formation includes Sunny Jim Fitz-
simmons, Make Hirsch, Ben Jones,
John Partridge, Earl Sande, George
Odom and a few more who know
their trade from hoof to saddle.
Sunny Jim FitZsimmons, who has
known so years of race track expert
ness, had two star entries in King
Cole and Bold Irishman, but the
latter now is questionable starter,
due to injury, so Sunny Jim is max
ing no effort to take over the end
Of any Derby limb.
This next one is the most wide
open Kentucky Derby can remem-
ber." he said. There may be no
great 3-year-olds on hand, but there
will be more than few goods ones
above the average.

Studying The Fashions

What is the favorite indoor sport
of the women of Delaware? Some
will say bridge, but our guess
would be reading the news and
advertisements about fashions. If
anyone says that advertisements
are not read, he should find out
about the commotion created in
some store if a mistake is made in
the newspaper in describing the
fashion offerings of that concern.
Every cut which advertisers pro-
vide to illustrate the latest styles
every detail of the descriptions Of
these styles is noted with the keen
est attention. The women folks
love to read those ads and study
the fashion reports in newspapers
and magazines, even if they lack
the money to buy these things.
Why do women have this intense
love for, such things? It may be
largely due to the feeling handed
down from many generations. that
women sway the world by making
themselves personally attractive.
When you see how a lady's infiu-
ence and power is increased if she
is stylishly dressed you can't won
der at this interest.

The Song OF The Hunter

"The horn of the hunter is heard
on the hill" wrote a noted poet. The
deer, foxes, rabbits, etc., may not
hear the horn of the hunter with
any feeling of cheerfulness, but
men have usually felt happy when
they get out on the hunt after
game.
Many songs and pieces Of instru-
mental music have been written to
express the enjoyment of the hunt
ing season. These compositions
express a certain, lightness, and up
lifting of spirits among the hunt
ers. The crisp air of October, the
thrill of competition with the keen
instincts of animals, seem to exhil-
arate people and give them feelings
of jollity and gaiety.
In England hunting has been a
kind of social institution. 1t has
been considered necessary for the
good of a community to carry on
organized hunting through clubs
and hunting parties, as means Of
keeping up an interesting social
and country life, and bringing peo-
pie together.
In this country hunting is most
ly personal sport, in which mil
lions of men and boys get out for
their own pleasure. There are so
many hunters, that some kinds of
game have been exterminated, and
more are very scarce. If many
hunters refuse to obey the game
laws, the forests and fields, which
once were alive with these inter
esting and valuable creatures, will
see little of this wild life, and
there will be little to tempt the
hunter to visit these scenes.
Sportsmen's organizations urge
their members to obey the laws and
support all measures tending to
maintain and restore the ancient
supply of wild life. n game is
properly cultivated, considerable
addition to the nations food supply
is made, and countless men are
provided with a recreation which
gives them enormous pleasure.

u. S. A. In The War

When the total number of Ameri-
can ships sunk by the Nazis rose to
the number of 10, it became appar-
ent that Mr.. Hitler is letting loose
the full tide of his anger against
this country. He probably intends
to sink American ships wherever
they can be found. With the u. S.
Navy ordered to shoot at Nazi sub
marines and raiders, the United
States really seems to be in a
shooting war.
1t is hardly probable that any
armed force will be sent across the
ocean to land in Europe, but the
United States navy has a big job
cut out for it. The boys of those
superb ships know how to shoot.
If they see anything to shoot at,
somebody is likely to get hit.
Mr.. Hitler perhaps thinks that if
he sinks a good lot of American
ships, it will induce the Japanese
government to get tough and keep
our feet largely busy in the Paci-
fic. The principal effect on the
United States will be to remove OBJ
stacles that tend to delay defense
production.
Milford chronicle., 1941-11-07
The Giving Habit

In the Acts of the Apostles in the
Bible it. is said that ''it is more
blessed to give than to receive" :"
The experiences of those who soli-
cit for churches, charities, and var
ious public causes suggest that the
majority of people do not believe in
that truth. They may believe it is
gnoEe- blessed ITO give, butsthey
won't admit it Is more enjoyable.
These solicitors discover that
some persons who seem to be liv-
ing in a comfortable way, some
hines with many luxuries, will yet
give quite sparingly to philanthro-
pic causes. Solicitors for church
funds often complain that people
who can buy gasoline freely for
their motor trips, and dig up IS or
some such sum for an evenings
fun, will go to church and think
they get by if they put 10 or rs
cents on the plate.
When community chest drives
are held in cities, it is usually
found that relatively small part
of the population will make any
gifts at all. People who seem to be
spending money with some free
dom for luxuries will often refuse
to give even a nickel to charity.
1t often happens that people of
very small incomes, who can just
barely get along and who deny
themselves essential things, will
come across with some liberal
gift. I'D
The people who give the most are
usually the happiest. They do not
find the most pleasure in eating
and drinking and sporting life and
the popular amusements. 1t gives
them more satisfaction to think of
some poor person or family made
happy for the moment by the gift
of warm winter overcoat or a fine
Thanksgiving dinner. They are not
happy themselves until they feel
they have given all they can afford
to help unfortunate people through
their troubles, and to aid young
people to rise above their handi-
caps and find a secure place in
community life.
Milford chronicle., 1941-11-07
Town Reputation

Many towns have regulations that
go long way, but some are never
heard of outside of their own inn
mediate neighborhoods. Many
towns get reputation because
they manufacture some product
which sells over wide area. If a
town product sells well, it is the
result of good faithful work.
Some towns get a reputation as
the center of fine farming districts.
This is the result Of patient in
dustry and hard and faithful
labor. ~
And there are towns that get a
reputation as fine residence towns,
nice places to live in. They get that
repute by developing excellent
educational institutions, churches,
fine homes, attractive streets,
parks and Fairgrounds. Any town
can acquire a fine reputation if it
is willing to work for it. 1t is the
result of effort, of honest industry
and ambition, and labor for social
welfare.
Milford chronicle., 1941-11-07
Smaller Homes

The people of our grandfather's
time liked big houses. They en-
joyed the feeling of plenty of room.
Some of the rooms in the larger
homes were big enough for pub
lie hall.
Today most of the new homes
are small. The scarcity of lumber
and the costs of building have
trimmed peoples wings. Also the
housewife asks how long 1t will
take her to sweep and clean the
big house. She likes dwellings
which in former years would have
been called mot big enough to
swing a cat in" She says she has
no desire to swing a cat, and she
wants to swing the broom as little
as possible.
Formerly every house had to
have one or more guest rooms, but
that is eliminated in many modern
homes. Also the relative scarcity
of the old time "hired girl" makes
the small home seem desirable.
