Titan Hanover Seems Sure Bet In Rich HumbIetoniun
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor)


 Goshen, N. r., Aug. 8.-UP)- Titan Hanover, the bay wonder colt of harness racing, went after the winners purse of one of the rich est of all Harnbletonian stakes to- day and was regarded such sure thing that he was barred from the betting in the record field of 19 horses.
 Wins 10 Starts
 Winner of all his 10 starts, eight of them as two year old when he ran the mile in two minutes flat, the fleet colt purchased at yearling sale in November 1943, for 5000 was rated such a heavy favorite by the operators of the Good Time track they took the un- precedented action of barring him from the pari-mutuel wagering on the race.
 They couldn't, however, bar him from the winners purse should he come in front in the best two out of three one mile heats so if he lives up to his advance billing he would return his owners, E. Roland Hartman and Capt. Elbridge Gerry, many times more than their original investment if all 19 start. That would make first place worth $27,- 608.33 and should Tital Hanover win it, it would be in addition to the $30, GOO which the bargin base ment colt already has won in his previous starts.
 When the 19 horses were entered yesterday-five more than the pre- vious record field of IA in 1926- Titan Hanover was listed in the pre- liminary odds at one to four de- spite the fact that he drew an un- favorable post position, No. 12. That on the small kite-shaped Good Time track means that Titan Hanover

WRITER SAYS MOTHERS THE
CAUSE OF TEEh-ACE
DIVORCE RATE
By Will V. Nicely

WICHITA, Kan, June % (ANP)
What is this world coming to?
This question can be reflected in the
increasing number of divorces
among Negro teen-age girls who
married before they knew what it
was all about.
These soldier-struck young girls
who fall for soldier at the drop
of a hat, are beginning to fill the
divorce courts at an amazing rate
of speed. Since the beginning of the
war it has been the custom of a
young girl to get herself husband
for no other reason than her girl
friend had one.
Of course the lonesome soldier
jumped at the opportunity to get
himself a wife before going over
seas. Then the trouble started.
The new wife decided she had
made mistake and after a while
she puts in for a divorce from her
fastly obtained spouse. Now what's
the cause Of all this?
In the first place, the modern
mother is as bad as her daughter,
in that she fails to take the mar
riage ritual seriously. If her daugh-
ter rushes in and tells nom about
her new soldier" nom grins and
feels proud even though she scarce
ly knows her future son-in-laW. She
knows that daughter can hardly boil
an egg, and never baked a biscuit
in her life. She knows too that
daughter is hardly dry behind the
ears, in the ways of married life.
Yet, if daughter says so, she has
suddenly acquired a perfect hus-
band.
Modern teen age bobby sockers
who wear rouge, and wear their
dresses above the knees to attract
soldiers are the 40 percent" of Ne
gro marriages that are failing to-
day. They are the ones who strut
around wearing tight fitting sweat
ers and who fit around smelling
strong with Is cent perfume. They
are the ones who try to look like a
movie star and who try to cover up
the fact that they are heardly out of
the cradle.
If mothers should have an occa-
sional chat with their daughters
and give them the inside dope on
married life, perhaps they wouldn't
be so anxious to tie the knot.
