Fair Sex Saddling Horses

CINCINNATI women entered
the barber shops, they practically en-
tered the last stronghold of men, all
except that Of horse racing.
But now the fair sex are in the rae
ing game in great numbers.
At River Downs there are not only
large numbers of women owners but
also women trainers.
Two of them are Marian Jenkinson
and Mrs. w. A. Yarberry wife OF the
former jockey Warren Yarberry.
Miss Jenkinson is having remark
able success, recently saddling two
winners in one day winning the $4,000
Eagles Handicap and the second race
with Keen Boy.
Both Miss Jenkinson and Mrs. Yar-
berry are expert riders and according
to racing secretary Henderson Van
Zandt either one can ride as well as
any jockey.
Although weather has not been to
the liking of the River Downs Off
cials during the first half of the meet
ing the second half beginning Monday
should be far better as far as rain is
concerned. The meeting ends July
18th.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

should reflect the policies thus laid
down by the head of our government,
but do not do so adequately at pres
ent."
The protest of the Committee for
the Nations Health is result Of what
is declared to have been the failure
of the State Department to act on
the recommendation of an advisory
group called together last year to help
the department in connection with the
creation of an International Health
Organization.
Last year at meeting of the ad-
visory group an amendment to the
proposed constitution of the new in
ternational group was adopted recon-
mending that representation in the
national delegations be assured to
recipients of medical care" Among
those agreeing with this proposal was
DR.. Morris Fishbein of the American
Medical Association and representa-
tives of the American Federation of
Labor and Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations.

''It would be a mistake to exagge-
rate the meaning of recent elections
in France, Italy, and Czechoslovakia.
There were no landslides, only indi-
cations of new trends and gradual
change. No decisive results were pro-
duced. The general instability in in
ternational relations produces vacilla-
tions rather than stability in the in
dividual countries. Everything is head
ing toward crucial decision between
East and West :. But Europe is
waiting for positive action on the part
OF the democratic powers, for great
leadership and initiative" THE New
Leader, New York.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Nothing Congress can do, nothing
the President can do, can end strikes
in this free country. We had them yes
terday; we have them today; we will
have them tomorrow. No one likes
them, but, as the Springfield, Mass.
Republican declared in a recent edi-
torial, Strikes are as American as
corn on the cob
$50 long as America is America
so long as our country refuses to
adopt Fascism or Communism, work
ers will battle to improve their eco
nomic conditions, and certain num-
ber of employers will battle desperate
ly to maintain sweatshop wages and
intolerable working conditions. La
Dor.
"It is not military strength alone
lidt nave IN mlnd. what is prlmar-
lily needed is national strengthen ma
tional health-here at home. Without
it, in the last analysis, military
strength will be futile at best, at the
worst threat to our freedom. In the
hands of unscrupulous men, admitted
to positions of power through the
heedlessness or folly of citizens who
failed to take their citizenship seri
ously, strong Army and a strong
Navy can become instruments of tyr
amy and despotism. president R.

THE SPECTRE OF WORLD FAMINE


Herbert Hoover reported on thu
"grimmest spectre of famine in all thu
history of the world when he tolt
about his global food survey. Galleries
he said, are the yardstick of hunger
Here in America our daily diet is more
than 5000 calories per person; 2,20(
is the minimum average for healthy
human beings, but Mr.. Hoover kept in
mind the bedrock figures" of 1900
| 1900 calories as the minimum which
could pull people through the next four
months of desperate need until Sep
tember 80. To supply everyone with
even this low amount would require
14,484 900 tons of wheat, but only 10,-
897, 200 tons are yet in sight, leaving
gap of 100000" whole amount
necessary to save 40,000000 people"
Recent provisions adopted by the
United States government to raise the
price of grains and give special bonus
payments for immediate delivery have
met with good response from farmers.
From May l to May 20, Ia million
tons of wheat was brought to market.
This should enable us to meet our
commitments of 6 million tons for
the first half of 1916, on which we
were falling seriously behind. But it
only completes our commitment and
does not fill the gap of 3.6 million tons.
This will require cooperation of all
of US in all programs for grain con-
servation and shipment.
As we make this effort to supply the
worlds needs however, the people of
the United States have a right to in
sist that the food we send shall act
ually reach the hungry, without de-
lay, diversion or waste. Yet we hear
rumors that in Yugoslavia UNRRA
wheat is being sold on the black mar
ket, depriving the poor to furnish
funds for the Yugoslav government,
and that Soviet Russia is setting aside
reserves of UNRRA food for future
use Of the Red Army. Such reports
should be investigated at once and
food supplies denied in cases where
they are diverted.
At present distribution of world food
supplies is being directed by the Com
bined Food Board, a war agency on
which Britain, Canada and USA are
represented. Although this board has
been very effective, there has been
general recognition that it should be
more representative Fed
