 A good example - avoiding the mention of any names-is that pre- diction of the Navy recently that they were preparing for war to last until 1949.
 No sooner had they said it than the Washington punditS excused { h cir long -sightedness on tn Q grounds that they were merely lay ing the foundation for greater de- mands on the U. s. treasury. When, a few days later, the President shift ed a few billions from the Army appropriations to the Navy, the pundits said: "Yah-yah, told you so."
 It's considered certainty here that any capital predictions about when the war will end will be color cd by wishful thinking and selfish thinking at that.

ever staged in the rich stake for
3-year-old trotters.
Trotting horsemen, after learning
of the big slump in prices at the
Saratoga thoroughbred sale, were
all set to view what they believed
would be sad spectacle when the
yearling trotters and PAGERS ap-
preached the auctioneer's stand at
the Lexington, KY, sale. But when
the yearling racing colt, Good Bye,
son of Hal Dale in the consign-
ment of Leo c. Mcnamara of In
dianapolis, went to Mrs. James B.
johnson, jr, of Detroit for $1,000,
the trotting horse boys decided that
the harness horse sport was not in
delicate condition after all.
Price for PAGER Is Record.
The $4,000 was the highest price
ever paid for yearling PAGER, and
shortly after, Mrs. Johnson went to
$4,000 TO get Vesta's Price, a daugh-
ter of Spencer.
The average prices for the yearl-
ings sold at the several fall sales
slumped, but the coming racers
brought far greater prices than the
most optimistic horsemen expected.
Many newcomers also had the last
bid on some of the high-priced
youngsters-all of which helped to
make the breeders look upon the
future with optimism.
Around 40 stakes sponsored by the
Trotting Horse Club of America, the
Hambletonian Society and other or
ganizations are scheduled to be
raced off the coming season. They
will carry purses of approximately
s250,000. The set-up of the grand
circuit will be decided at the or
ganization's mid-January meeting.
Some of the smaller circuits and
county fairs may find the going
tough. but horsemen are confident
1943 will not be far off of 1912 In

While its functions are frustrated

This was displayed amply in the

But the men who make up our

Competitive sports have played

While we have far more competi-
