When we met Sheila, she was

against mumps, measles, and chicken

One common home practice all
hospital authorities warn against is
giving laxatives or purgatives with

swollen appendix - easily ruptured
by laxatives. Enemas, on the other
hand, are always safe.
Parents who set out to remove all
the hazards from a child's life will
probably find they've created the
greatest hazard of all: helplessness
and over-dependence. An ounce of
prevention is still worth pound of
cure. But when it comes to curing or

other technical matters became
Cofey's responsibility. And at least
one agent, usually an ex-FBI man,
was assigned to each track.
Teletype connections were set. up
and things soon began to pop from
New Hampshire to California. The
agents tracked rumors and hot tips,
either piling up evidence of dis
honesty or quickly clearing wrongly
suspected persons. In 1916, the first
full year of operation, they investi-
gated 474 cases.
One of the bureaus outstanding
cases involved a ringer" at Fair
mount Park in Illinois. A horse en-
tered as Joe S. was scratched after
the horse identifier found that it
didn't match up with its Jockey
Club card. Drayton's agent at the
track began to wonder, soon dis
covered that, although virtually un-
known, the horse had paid only
$3.50 for the first of three winning
performances.
Why had an unseeded horse paid
so little? The answer seemed obvi-
Gus: Only a rush of heavy betting
can choke down the odds. Drugged
horses and ringers" are tied in with
heavy betting. The TRPB agent
teletyped for aid.
MChaxlsy's Mistake"
OHECKING sources around the
tracks, the agents uncovered trail
which led into Oklahoma and Kan
sas. In Havilon, Kan, they located
the original Joe S. Following another
tip, the agents came up with the
fact that the ringer zoe S" was not
even a thoroughbred, but an Okla
homa half-breed. ineligible to race
with thoroughbreds.
The half-breed pony had run up
quite a record on small dirt tracks
under many names, including Char
ley's Mistake" This was an ironic
handle in view of the fact that

off the turf for life by the Illinois
Racing Board.

Stimulation is not, of course, re-
stricted to drugs. Many things can
stimulate some types of horse. There
was, for example, the three-year-
old out taking its morning exer-
else. A small plane flew overhead
and the frightened horse skit-'
tered down the track like a Derby
champion. This gave its trainer an
idea. After placing a sizable bet on
the horse, he hired plane to swoop
low over the tightly punched racers
in the homestretch. His horse gal
loped to victory and he gleefully
capered for his winnings.
Some systems are less humane.
Crooked jockeys have been known
to touch batteries to the necks of
their mounts, and hoodlums posing
as trainers or grooms have even
more savage gall. Such men stimu-
late horses by "chaining." an art
reminiscent of medieval tortMes. A
blanket is placed over the horse and
an alarm clock is set off near by.
While the bell rings. the handler
whips the horse with a heavy chain.
The blanket prevents markings, and
the horse, painfully aware of that
association of bell and chain, breaks
from the starting gate like a rocket
when the starting bell clangs.
All this comes under the head of
stimulation and, consequently, the
criminal charge, conspiracy to de-
fraud" Even for prosecutions and
arrests under this rap, however, the
turf FBI must rely on the co-opera-
tion of city and county police officials.
New Racl.ets
DRAYToN knows his organization
has won only the first round in the
fight against race-track crooks. But
he is busy planning ahead, trying to
outthink the characters who, aware
that the turf FBI has caught on to
their old lodges, are reaching for
new rackets. And with budget of
close to a million dollars for it's first
two years of operation, Drayton's
team of former government agents
has time to catch up with them.
Last year it had l6 persons convict
ed and 81 others ruled off tracks.
The palmy days for dopers, fast
operators. chiselling owners and un-
scrupulous trainers are over, and
they know it. Spencer Drayton's got
their number. The End

upper lips.
Drayton did not stop with horse
Identification. He noticed that many
small-time hoodlums worked around
the tracks. Tearing another page
from his FBI book. he established
nationwide fingerprint program for
track personnel. The first wave of
printings disclosed one "hanger-on"
owning a record of convictions for
assault with intent to kill, bank
robbery and highway robbery.
Tough On Touts
CHAsING crooked touts from the
tracks was another job for Drayton
& Co. Touts, who hang out wher-
ever the nags run, work like this:
They circulate, often in pairs, hand
ing out phony hot tips" wholesale
to innocent bettors. In a six-horse
race the tout gets at least one sucker
to bet on each of the six horses, then
when the race is over, strolls' up to
whoever won and collects a cut as
compensation for his tip" Not long
ago such a character was nabbed by
a TRPB agent at Hialeah after he'd
gypped local restaurant proprietor
on three winners. He got 300 days
and a $500 fine.
Drayton's next move was to break
up the business of stimulating"
horses. Most tracks checked only a
sample horse, or the winner, and
obviously groom could hop up his
mount and race it for second money.
A rickety racer named Old West
bury provoked a situation which
started out as a simple drugging
case, but grew much bigger. Old
Westbury had been declared the
winner at Tropical Park. Fla. Saliva
tests showed the horse had been
stimulated. A TRPB investigation
rounded up Trainer Clarence
Reynolds and Groom James j.

Florida tracks, Newton for life,

TRPB didn't stop there. The horses
owner, James Scaffidi, Philadel-
phia ex-convict, and the track veter-
marian, DIR. Harold o. Sheetz, were
awaiting trial as this issue went to
press.

to pay Mr.. Lewis most Of his
asking price and not to fight him
now. In the long run, conceiv-
ably, the Country may stand to
gain.
However, that gain will have
been won at a price which is cas-
Ter to describe than to measure.
What has been happening in
this coal settlement, in simplest
terms, is this;
The United Mine Workers hold
a practically complete monopoly
in cold fields labor. They have
been asking a monopoly price.
The interests which first arrived
at understandings with Mr.. Lew
is, while controlling no monop-
oily in mines, are big enough to
swing the rest of the industry,
whether it likes it or not. So a
labor monopelist and the giants
of an industry have made a deal.
And, it should be noted, they
have made it by means of what
industry and labor have been de-
filming as free collective bargain
ing, without government inter-
vention, and under conditions of
supply and demand long known
in advance.
There is probably nothing less
moral about a labor union achiev-
ing a monopoly and debating its
price than there is about a cor
poration doing so-except that in
the case of essential goods the
unions leverage is more obvious
and perhaps more brutal.
Monopoly in labor, goods or
money endangers American free
economy. If the coal settlement
does nothing else, it should serve
to italicize Americas inability so
far to deal with the problem, -

THE COAL settlement

Unless one takes either of two
extreme positions-that to grant
John L. Lewis what he asks is
bad per Sc, or that for Mr.. Lew
is to squeeze everything he can
out of the operators is good of
itself-the manner in which the
coal industry appears to be
reaching a settlement defies neat
and easy classification.
We have tried looking at both
sides of the question from long
and short range views. The i'm
mediate consequences of the
settlement look good. But there
are also some implications and
long range possibilities which
leave,us uncomfortable.
On the credit side, it should
be said that industry will now
roll on without serious Interrupt
ton. 1t can be reasonably ar
gued that whatever further in
fiation may come out of the
chain reaction" to the big wage
increase is likely to be less dam
aging than that which would
have resulted from crippled pro-
duction. In addition, past ex-
perience in coal mining gives
some support to the hope that
increased productivity may &C.
tually hold down costs in spite
of the higher wages and welfare
royalty.
The approaching settlement,
furthermore, probably avoids a
precipitate test of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act perhaps even including
the national emergency provis-
ions-before either practice or
the courts have begun to define
what the law really means, and
in that industry where even Sen.
Taft admits the law may be
least effective.
Mr.. Lewis successful insist
ence on contractural exemption
of his union from damage suits
for wild cat" strikes, through
the already famous willing and
able to work" clause, does not
yet appear as any subterfuge to
get around the law. There is
nothing in the Taft-Hartley Act
to bar such agreement if man.
agement consents. And Mr..
Lewis bargaining position is
strong enough right now that the
operators are not invoking the
law by objecting.
All of this can be totaled into
an impressive case for the steel
and coal executives who decided
