Scrap Drive Notes

A supposedly 35o-pound casting box unearthed in the Democrats sterotyping department last week for the current scrap metal drive was discovered to tip the scales at over 500 pounds when dismantled by Fred Carey, building Superin- tendent and Judge" Allie Affeldt, boss of the stereotypers. Located on the third floor of the Democrat Building it was tossed out into the areaway in back of the structure by braWny arms.
 It looked like moving day in
 front of the Hadley Furniture
 Company this morning as employees
 brought forth a great quantity of
 old and broken stoves and parts.
 The company used its own trucks
 to transport the same to the scrap
 metal yard on South Fifth street.
 The Ace Radio Service at 800 North Main street and Stanley's Barber Shop right next door at 498 North Main street collected two tons of metal between them which was somewhat of a record in their neighborhood and mighty good work, too.

NEW YORk-Letters which
are dashed off At odd moments
often prove to be Unexpectedly
expensive, particularly II they
are read aloud IN court. but
harken to the tale OF q letter
which cost $50. 900 and maybe
the sll-time championship of the
turf because it wasn't written
by a Mr.. Wright.
The Mr.. Wright who didn't
write IL Warren Wright Of Calu-
met farm, the address he didn't
write to In Hialeah Park, and
the information which he didn't
jot down was the fact that he
wished 10 nominate Whirlaway
for the $4,000 widener Cup to
be run In Florida In March.
The letter Is one which may
be engraved in turf history an
the letter which stopped the
first great horse Of the 1905
short of the worlds money win
ming record. Whirlsway can't
run in California because the
army has ruled racing out and
he can't run in Florida because
his owner didn't rule him in.
So he has nowhere to 60 and
nothing to do until spring.
II anything that ever hap
pened in racing Is ironical, this
Is II, because Warren Wright is
famed on the turf as a man
who gives his horses every
chance. He nominated them for
so many races every year that
he pays as much In dues to
secretaries Of racetracks as
Henry Ford does to secretaries
of the United States treasury.
But II In a long, long way
from Arcadia, Cal, TO Coral
Gables, Fla, 80 Warren Wright
didn't bother 10 pay Whirlaway's
way to Hialeah. The little red
horse was going in the big
hundred grander at Santa Anita
for q race that, along with an
other $4,000. would have won
him the title Of biggest money
winner ever bred. And Wright
didn't foresee . war.
So when the bugle blows
among the palms and flamingoes
in Miami in March, Whirlaway
won't be among the thorough
bred celebrities present and all
the old railbirds will shake their
heads and say that one Of the
oldest jinxes on the turf is back
in working order. That, OF
