RICH ARLINGTON
RACE ON TODAY
RATED T0SSUP'

Chicago, July 24-GJP)-An even
Unmatched field will compete to-
day in the rich Arlington classic,
a 15-year-old event famous for
tumbling wonder horses from their
thrones.
With Count Fleet and Ocean
Wave on the shelf, the field Of
three-year olds is lacking its usual
heavy favorite.
With the last-minute entry of
Eddie (Rochester) Anderson's Burnt
Cork, the field mounted to nine,
making total purse of $72750 if
none of the eligibles scratch. 1t
was doubtful if Burnt Cork would
attempt the classic, for he also has
been entered for the fourth race.
The route is one mile and quar-
ter, with a record time of 2:01-2-5
set by Omaha in 1885 and tied last
year by Shut Out. Such horses as
Whirlaway, Discovery, Twenty
Grand and JohnstoWn have lost in
previous classics, so it was doubt
full if any could approach the rec
ord this year.

New York, July "a. CUP)-In a
move designed to save sports for
many of the nations colleges, the
central office for intercollegiate
athletics today went on record in
opposition to the war department
ban preventing trainees at Little
West Points" from participating in
intercollegiate sports.
The central Office, which controls
the athletic destinies of rs schools,
issued letter which commended that
"the proven value of competitive
sports justifies the lifting of the
ban."
Written by Executive Director
Asa Bushnell, the letter does not
demand athletics as-usual but con-
tends that there should be a care
fully planned regime designed to
make every American fighting man
potential victor"
ITO us who hope for removal of
the current prohibition, there is in
applicable inconsistency in its pres
ence," Bushnell said. "The Army
permits and encourages the organ
lzation Of teams from personnel at
Its many bases in this country and
abroad Further, it does not limit
to an intramural conception the
manner in which schedules are ar
ranged and carried out but ap-
approves Of contests with outside
opponents"
Sad Day
Bushnell pointed out that Mai
Gen. Francis B. Wildly. U. S. Mill

recently that cit would be a very
sad day for West Point" if body

football-were abandoned.

Cambridge, Mass, July 24-UP)
-Gunder Hagg, the slim Swedish
distance runner, may write another
brilliant chapter in the records of
the cinder contingent today when
he engages four of this country's top
competitors in twilight mile race
at Harvard Stadium.
Holder of seven world records at
distances ranging from 1900 to 5000
meters, Hagg hopes to record his
tory's fastest time at the distance
of his fifth appearance of a national
tour for the benefit Of the U. S.
Army Air Corps.
A crowd of close to 10000 is ex-
pected to cheer the speedy Swede
when he toes the lines against the
stiffest competition he has met yet
Gil Dodds. National 1900 meter
champion; Don Durham, National
intercollegiate titleholder: Bill Hulse

Knowles, New England Intercolle-
giate mile ruler.

Of the edge off the race. At Con-
cord, where Hagg and his encourage
have been staying, it was reported
that the Scandinavian had suffered
a stone bruise while on a training
jaint. Hagg and his party denied
the report however.
Dodds, already defeated by Hagg,
is reported to be far from top form
but the Boston divinity student has
been training diligently on the Bos-
ton college track.
Two of Hagg's opponents will race
with the advantage of a handicap
Hulse and 17-year-old Knowles.
Hulse, who has conquered Dodds,
will start with 10-yard edge on
the field while Knowles will move
Is yards out In front. There's little
hope that either will remain there
for as much as quarter-mile but
their fast pace may force Hagg to
better his world record of 4:O4.6.

they have been classified into nine

Girls Must Learn
To Keep Lovely
Environment
This Is Conducive
To More Beauty
And Happiness
By Patricia Lindsay

I have been told by many mothers
that their young daughters spend
too much time on their personal ap-
pearance. and too little time on
keeping their bedrooms in order, or
on keeping their clothes in order.
Girls. that is mistake, a sad one.
For tidy, attractive environment
is conducive to more beauty, more
success, more happiness. No girl
can train herself too young to keep
her environment lovely.
Actually it takes very little time
to keep ones things in their places,
and ones clothes neat and clean,
# a routine is established. Make
it a habit never to hang away a
garment if it is in need of repair or
pressing or cleaning Clothes are at
a premium today and you are help
ing Uncle Sam if you preserve what
you now own.
No famous beauty was made IA
nous entirely by her good looks.
She surrounded herself with an
interesting environment and with
interesting persons. Friends loved
to come to her attractive home
(even though it was a one-room
affair or a dressing room behind the
scenes of theater), and that home
was her stage setting.
Now if a favored beau went into
a very untidy room and saw soiled
coat thrown over the sofa you can
bet your boots that his ardour for
the lady of the moment would be
greatly cooled. For the majority OF
men prefer tidiness. They are more
tidy about their persons than the
majority of women. Yes, that Is
true my pets. even though you may
know one or two who do not measure
up.
But despite masculine approval
or disapproval, girl should desire
to be tidy and sweet and clean. She
should adore going into her own
room where everything was ship
shape, to rest, or to make herself
more beautiful. For how is ones
scalp and hair to be kept healthy
and glossy if ones comb and brush
are not kept clean? How is ones
skin to be free of blemishes if soiled
wash cloths and towels are used?
How can one look her loveliest if
spots and creases detract from the
smartness of clothes? How can one
feel in tune with beauty in room
that is so confused with neglect that
nothing is where it belongs and
when it is found 1t Is in need of
attention?

10 handle some OF the diaper wash
ing herself.
This is by no means a difficult or
technical task, but any deviation
from the prescribed rules can cause
misery to the baby with rashes and
burns" The weeks of healing re-
CURED and the walls of the unhappy
child is heavy punishment for the
carelessness of few days.
Diapers should be washed daily.
Immediately after removal they
should be placed in a tub of cold
water. Leaving them folded in a
clesed container causes acids to form
rapidly. These are difficult to re-
move entirely and even with careful
washing the infant is likely to suffer
some discomfort.
Rinse the diapers in several cold
water baths. Then wash them in
warm water with small amount
of mild soapsuds. They should be
rinsed in at least three tepid waters
to remove every trace of soap. Hang
them out of doors if possible Air
and sun have a curative quality
which is most beneficial to tender
skin. Bring them in from the sun,
fold, do not iron and they are ready
for use.
1t is very wise precaution to
boil the diapers every day. Many
mothers feel that this is too much
and are satisfied to boil them once
or twice a week only. On the days
they are not boiled they should be
rlEsed the last time in cool water,
to which a half a cup of borax has
been added, This has mild anti
septic properties, counteracts the
effect of hard water and soap and is
good for the baby's skin.
The necessary points to remember
are: Do not leave diapers in a closed
container, wash in mild soap, rinse
thoroughly, boil often and dry in
the sun if possible, do not iron. This
is the minimum amount of care for
a healthy, happy baby.
Your diaper laundry, with its care
