private boxes labeled with the
names of some of our first citi-
zens were empty and that others
were not fully occupied, which
strengthened my determination
10 one day launch a campaign
10 eliminate all private reserva-
tons OF this nature in all public
enterprises and make the space
available 10 the people.
This is in line with my idea
that the vast infields Of the race
courses, in New York, should be
made free 10 the people, with
pari mutuel booths and refresh
ment stands set up out there as
in England. / mean we ought
TO let the largest number OF
horse players possible ready
themselves 20 die broke.
MR.. JULIE FINK is the chief
NA OF a small coterie of Johnny
Cone-Latelys TO the race
courses known as the speed
boys" because they are supposed
to work out their operation by
the speed charts on the horses,
making an exact science of the
business.
They won so many races and
so much money for awhile as TO
create a great sensation and TO
attract investigation from the
racing authorities which I UNI
derstand disclosed nothing ex-
cept that they were placing
their horses right, and were
having a lot of luck.
But any time strangers (espe-
cially young 'unsl come around
winning races. the authorities
get suspicious. II is as IL they
believe races cannot be won by
young strangers unless they en-
ploy chicanery. They give no
thought TO the possibility of new
methods by young blood.
AS a young fellow, Hirsch
Jacobs, the greatest living horse
trainer, had TO endure whisper
ing innuendo until he had dem-
onstrated even TO the racing
authorities that his success was
due simply 10 hard work and
common sense.
YOUNG Mr.. Fink was sur.
L rounded by his collaborators
and by racing journals and rec
ord books over which he pored
in,ently, making many marginal
notes.
But I noticed that when the
last heat Of the day came UP, a
race for horses that had never
won, he rooted vigorously for a
lizard that finished second.
1t could be that the speed
boys" who were fairly smok-
ing for a spell. have cooled off
a bit. That happens to the hot
test of mortals. But there is one
great advantage in recess
from success. as the personable
young Mr.. Fink and his associ-
ates will discover.

THE problem of what causes
i the teeth to decay and
what to do about IL, is still far
from solved. 1t Is likely that
many factors enter into the
process of tooth decay. but the
role of diet cannot be ignored.
There are too many facts
which show the relation of diet
to tooth decay to ignore care

tempting to check the decay
process.
The Sioux Indians were meat
eaters. They also grew some
corn and beans. They chewed
the beans and gnawed bones.

cation in the shape Of white
bread and sugar. tooth decay
rarely occurred in these people.
Their teeth were worn but
