NEW YORK, May (N.AN.A).-
If any horse but Whirlaway had
won the Kentucky Derby, it would
have been a sad blow In the teeth
for bloodlines. In the Preakness

difference because bloodlines will be
a dime dozen.
Bloodlines are supposed to estab-

has emf he has 'em good. The
PreaknesS will be full of stylish
horses of whom the expert can truly
say "he by, she by, he by" up to

Whirlaway is pretty we'll bred. I

GRANDMA SAYS IT IS THE
 RINK

BUNK
 Anent your wonderful home made iron tonic, writes "A De- bunklng Great Grandmother" 1t is not at all bad tasting the way take 1t. I drank pint of milk a day in three installments. In each installment I put a teaspoonful of the iron solution prepared as di- rected in your booklet Blood and Health. This way 1t certainly does not taste bad--it IS almost tasteless.
 And now in regard to your idea concerning left-handedness. l think 1t is the bunk. Aren't we all born with tendencies, good and bad, and some which, because they do not mesh with the inherited tendencies of the majority, must be disciplined to conform to majority habits, cus- toms or laws in order to maintain semblance C: order in an other wise chaotic world?
 In traffic should every one go helter skelter because in early childhood fond parents say that he or she was inclined to go that way?
 And what of thumb suckers ale lowed to develop and keep the habit until along in youth, then pun ished cruelty by rldicule to try to break them of the habit their par- ents should not have allowed them to develop in infancyp
 If the infant had never been al- lowed to begin thumb sucking there would be no thumb sucking prob lem today. Likewise if child is not allowed to begin using the left hand for writing or other skilled work, but trained in the customary right handed way there just wouldn't be any left-handedness.
 When my daughter was a baby I noticed she began to reach for things preferably with her left hand I immediately tied her nighie sleeve over the left hand and she used the right hand without the least bit of friction. Is she a speech cripple, or Is she nervous" or inefficient? She is not. Her pa- ternal grandfather and other kin were hopelessly left-handed. GA Debunking Great GrandmotherO
 Evidence dismissed as immaterial. Great Grandmother, you just fam cied your daughter was left-hand- ed. Chances are about twenty-five to one she was not.
 The analogies you cite are inter- esting, Gran, but not convincing. Thumb sucking should be stopped at the very beginning or the habit. to be sure. But thumb sucking Is abnormal or unnatural, and left handedness is normal or natural in about 485 of all children.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-08

Going helter-skelter in traffic is too far-fetched.
 A left-handed person in no way interferes with or disturbs the peace, comfort or safety of other people, and use of the left hand for skilled work in no way upsets common customs, laws or habits.
 On the other hand, at least In my opinion, there is considerable evidence supporting the belief that forced transfer of natural left- handedness to artificial right hand- edness tends to cause stuttering and other speech difficulties and handicaps the victim more or less for the rest of his or her artificial right -handed existence.

Gl0riting Yourself
By Alicia HaEt

It's all very well to be an amiable girl who can and will take con- structive criticism, but the woman who tries to carry out every sugges- ton every friend makes about her hair, make up and clothes is likely to end up far short of having a dis- tinctive appearance.
 There's no sense in consulting a good hairdresser as to what kind of coiffure best suits your face if you are going to brush out the waves and otherwise change the lines of the hair-do an hour after you leave the shop-simply because the first riend you meet says she doesn't like 1t. Wear your hair the way 1t is for at least three days, whether friend likes 1t or not. Then make Q final decision.
 If, after weighing the pros and cons for weeks and weeks, you SC ahead and have your hair dyed tc cover up the few gray hairs, never mind asking several members ot family and half 8 dozen friends whether they liked 1t better when 1t was streaked with gray. If you like dyed hair better than gray hair it's nobody else's concern.
 If you feel that silly hats suit you better than conservative ones, by all means stick to the silly varieties Let your friends laugh, and laugh with them, but don't let the laugh. ter make you -unsure of your taste in bonnets.
 All of which is not to say that it's smart to be so sure of yourself and you refuse to take any sugges. tions for self-improvement from anybody. If you want advice, ask fol 1t, by all means. But ask someone who is likely to know more about the subject than you do.
