Sport OF Kings. Henry meLemore'
It simply guarantees that even II
you lose your shirt, you can still get
home, because no one ever lost a
vest.
l learned to take this precaution
years ago, when covering the Derby
for the United Press. In 1889 my
expense account money ran third
got nasty bump on the far turn
and I had to hitch-hike back to New
York. 1t is surprising how unlovely
the usually lovely Blue Grass coun-
try is when you are walking through
it, busted, with a 14-pound type
writer in one hand, batch OF
worthless pari-mutuel tickets in the
other, and nothing more substan-
tial in your stomach than a platter
of butterflies.
In Training for "Juleps."
My second step in preparing for
the trip to Churchill Downs was to
make myself drink numerous glasses
of lukewarm water garnished with
various types of bright green weeds
each day. This was to condition
myself for the mint juleps" which
are served in and about Louisville
and the track during Derby week.
Except during Derby week, Louisville
and its environs make as fine mint
julep as is served anywhere in the
world. But when the big crush hits
the town, with people standing 45
deep in every bistro, it Is impossible
for the dispensers Of the nectar to
hold to the high Kentucky standard.
In the first place, there just isn't
enough mint grown to meet the
superdemand. So other greenstuff
is substituted. You get parsley, cell
cry tops, dandelion tops, and almost
all other tops which boast an
emerald color.
Step No. 8 in preparing for Derby
week in Louisville was to purchase
a record of my Old Kentucky
Home" made by the loudest group
of singers known. I then moved the
phonograph from the living room to
my bedroom and started playing
the record whenever I went to bed.
Thanks to an automatic changing
device, the record plays contin-
uously. After three days of this
am able to get as much as one
hour of sleep per night, which is
one under par for the Louisville
course.
Sure-Shot Losing Tune.
A few more nights of sleeping to
this tune and I may be able to get
two hours sleep per night in Louis
vile, which will give me great
standing. People will point me out
as the man who got two hours of
sleep last night, and I will be given
dozens of sure-shot losers by we'll
admirers.
I am working on Step No. 4, now,
and it is the most important prep
aration of all. I am trying to get
my wife, Jean, to realize that I am
the horse authority in our family,
and that she should always wager
on the same horse that 7 do. Un-
less I convince her of this, our 1947
trip to the Derby will be as disas-
trous to us financially as all Of our
other trips have been. A man and
wife can't make money by betting
on different horses. One loses, one
wins. The best that could be hoped
for would be standoff. But Jean
is plunger, often betting two whole
dollars on an odds-on favorite to
show.
I am praying that she will listen
to reason and let me pick the horses.
Otherwise, my big heart is going to
break when. thanks to my return
ticket, my train whizZes by and I
see her. hatbox in hand, hitting the
for home.

and Chairman John Taber of New
York must have got mixed up and
thought that they were playing April
fool. The Interior Department is
the social service department of the
American Government. The Amer
lean Indians are its wards and 1t
has the guardianship of almost all
that Is left of the great natural re-
sources of America. The depart
ment maintains the public range
upon which our meat and wool and
hides are grown in the form of
cattle and sheep. It prevents the
exploitation of our fish and wildlife.
1T maintains those magnificent
Fairgrounds of the countryside
Nations parks and monuments. 1t
lis engaged in hundreds of other
activities on behalf of a sound
economy and the public welfare.
"Come and Get It."
Representatives Taber and Jones,
in effect, have shrieked to the ex-
ploiters: Come and get it! Here
are Indians-human beings not
withstanding and, as the war proved,
exceptional fighters-exploit them as
you used to do in the past. If you
see anything that an Indian posses
es that you want, take it. Devas-
tate what is left of our forests.
Trample down the forage on the
public domain. Cut down our last
few remaining stands of virgin tim
ber. Desecrate our national parks
with merry-go-rounds, hurdy-gur-
dies and hot dog stands. Come and
get tin the fashion of the days
preceding Theodore Roosevelt"
I do not venture to say whether
this proposed rape of what are left
of our national assets is the act of
knaves or of fools. So far as the
country is concerned, it little mat
ters any more than 1t matters
whether a man Is murdered delib-
erately or because he is mistaken for
another. In either event, he is
ready for the undertaken.
Apparently these servants of East
ern exploitation have not learned
the lesson that, only by development
and careful husbandry, can we add
to our national wealth, afford homes
and give employment to our people.
There are thousands of potential
farmsteads in the arid regions of the
West that only require water and
cheap public power to make them
fruitful homesteads for returned
veterans and their families. Re-
clamation projects more than pay
for themselves. They yield a profit

at the same time, building up local
communities which in their turn
furnish eager markets for the prod
