Mr.. Cleveland makes a spe-
GRITTY OF looking aJ the dark
side of everything, particularly
taxes and race horses. Further
more, he is obseSsed with the
idea that a constant ink dogs

ON the way 10 the track Mr..
Grafton tried 10 interest Mr..
Cleveland in going shares in
the purchase OF a racing steed
named Great Divide. Mr..
Cleveland demurred. arguing he
IS so unlucky the horse I'M
doubtedly would drop dead or
become permanently disabled

Mr. Grafton went on TO argue
that they could make a won
derful profit with Great Di-
vide and use the earnings 10
buy more race horses. At last
Mr. Cleveland gave in - and
they bought the nag.
The new owners of Greet
Divi d e saw MIR. Morano off
when he left for Washington.
Mr.. Cleveland was still groan-
ing that something terrible was
bound 10 happen and Mr.. Graf

being unduly pessimistic," said
Mr.. Morano. until I got back
to Washington. Then I found
his fears were well grounded.
"The first newspaper 1 picked
up carried the story of Jimmy
Byrnes putting the ban on
racing!o

mildly amusing, but / didn't see
anything TO get hysterical over.

card Of sympathy-and this IL
what he writes back:
"Dear Friend Morano: Graf

should do with our horse. I
said Look at his name. Doesn't
that give you an idea? Well
divide him. Well eat one half
and send the other half to
Morano In Washington. He
won't have any difficulty find
ing another half there 10 make

Well, you don't have to give up
much to buy the smartest tidy-upper

leather envelope with side gussets
that give plenty of room for expan-

everything in place. One OF these
simplifies the ordeal of Changing of

any girl off to bad day. It's made
of genuine leather that looks so
much like pin morocco it would fool

red, kelly green and brown.
