meeting in Baltimore. The Mary
land Jockey Club is really out TO
Guido all other meets ever held
at the Old Hilltop. A number Of
stake races of various distances
and carrying fabulous prize money
have already been scheduled and
the books are now open for nomin-
atoms for the respective fields.
Races for two-year-olds, three-year-
olds, and older horses are listed
among the stake events, and some
OF the best horseflesh in the nation
are listed TO prance and cavort at
the track in Baltimore's residential
district.
AS sample Of what Mr.. and
Mrs. Race Phan can expect, let's
look at the nominees for one Of
the older horse lists, the Dixie
Handicap, for years a Maryland
fixture.
Race Secretary Charles McLen-
nan handicaps the entrants off
past performances and according
to the amount Of prize money won,
by assigning pounds Of weight,
which is made up Of the riders
weight and II need be additional
weight placed in the saddle on the
horse requiring such additional
handicap. Based on this handicap,
the secretary endeavors to bring
all entrants to the finish line ut
somewhat near the same time. The
secretary's dream Is a dead heat
for win, or two or more horses
reaching the wire ut exactly the
same time. This often happens and
In stake races It has happened.

will run May 9th. at Pimlico, for a
purse of $4,000 added. the
weights as announced by the Sec

rotary are: Shut Out and Thumbs

124 pounds: Slide Rule, 124
pounds; AIsab, 122 pounds; Prince
quello. 122 pounds; Apache, 122
pounds: Sun Again, Markell, and
Son of Peace, 118 pounds each.
The winning purse will gross over
$4,000 as there Is an entrance fee
for each horse starting in the
event. The Dixie Handicap has had
several photo finishes for the final
result and from the lists already
announced, it can readily be seen
a holly contested race Of one mile
and three-sixteenths, is in store.
The date is May 9th Saturday, in
Baltimore.
On the same afternoon the
Derby will be run in Louisville,

Women go in for the groups a

Beauties Hints
Cosmetic 'ParaSOl'
Covers FreckleS,
Gives Skin a Glow
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

F,reckles sprinkling a skin with
golden fecks or even darker pig
ment are too attractive-they reflect
vitality, a wholesome look and have
a charming insouciance-to cause
all Of the discomfort girls complain
about
If I were you, I'd accept them as
cheerfully as l would the peppery
personality to which they attest,
and wouldn't do anything to erase
them. But II you can't be persuaded
that they're an asset, do be per-
suaded not to bleach them. Freckles
will go away of their own accord,
if you'll shield your skin from sum
light. For that purpose, wear
brimmed hats and long-sleeved
dresses or use cosmetic para
sol" of Sun-proofing cream or To-
ton containing chemicals that filter
out burning rays which cause your
skin to freckle or tan.
While you're waiting for freckleS
to disappear, you can keep them
secret with a makeup foundation,
used under your powder. Any nom
transparent cream, lotion or cake
type Of makeup base will do the
trick. In the cake-type of base there
is a new product-a liquid-on the
market, which Is sailed with glee
by girls with freckles, because the
smallest bit seems to whisk them
away and makes a skin glow with
color.
