When questioned on the possible

that il would be virtually impos-
sible to put too much fluorine in

When asked why the Dental As.
sociation was recommending the

Cobo said that with the present
rate of tooth decay, everyone will
soon have to be a dentist.
In explaining that some oppoSi-
ton had been expressed, he said,
''Newspapermen are not chemists
or scientists. Fluorine comes to rs

When questioned ON what it cost,
Cobo said that about $1,000 would
be required to buy and install the
machinery at the water source in
Florida City.
'The public health department
would bear the cost" he said.
The Navy would pay the cost of

In explaining why children can't

What does a fellow have to
do to get some recognition?" a
Shoemaker fan asked. THE pa
pers carried bannerline stories
about Tony DeSpirito last year
when he was working overtime
to break the jockey record. Be-
fore that the boys who were still
in the. race for riding honors in
December got reams of publicity,
but Willie has a record that may
never be equalled and you don't
read or hear much about him."
The man is right. Anybody
who thinks Jockeys life is a
breeze. or that sitting on a race
horse is child's play is badly mis-
taken. One of the most fearful
and exciting moments in all
sports is that split second when
the gate flies open. a bell rings.
andsa field of eight to IL thor
oughbreds storms away like a
pack of wild animals. 1t takes
skill and courage. not to men,
tion some luck. to stay on
horse. It's no place for faint
heart.
Shoemaker's record is all the
more remarkable when one con-
siderS that he might have
reached the unbelievable mark
of 500 winners if he hadn't taken
brief vacation after bringing
home No. 476 on December IL.
If Willie had pressed he might
have made it. but a guys got to
have something to shoot at,
hasn't he?
DeSpirito had to scramble in
1852 to ride 800. beating the rec
ord 388 hung up by Walter Mil
Ter in 1906 and tied by Shoe
maker and Joe Culmone in 1850.
Tony had to ride every day. in
cluding Sundays in Cuba. when
a suspension Topped off 10 i'm
portant riding days in the last
month. Shoemaker and Gull
none went right down to the
last day in their duel for the
title in 1850, and even nonracing
fans got excited.
So Willie coasts home this year
and the only people aware Of it
are the 81 fans betting against
him-the Surest way we know
of losing a deuce-and turf off,
cials who count the winners for
the record book. Can you imag-
inc the hullabaloo if Mickey
Mantle hit IS home runs to beat
the Babes record?
= 4 kA
The answer seems to be that
Willie made it look so easy
everybody lost interest. Remem-
ber the old vaudeville jugglers
and tumblers who saved their
most difficult stunt for last and
always missed" a couple OF
times, while you gasped. before
making good to a round OF
thunderous applause? If Shoe
had needed a couple Of winners
this week to break the record,
the chances are he would have
been crowding the bowl games
and basketball tournaments for
the headlines.
Or. if Willie had a glib tongue
and would tell how he judges
pace, whether he has secret
way of making q horse run. or
If he adjusts his stirrups in
some special manner, you might
have read more feature stories
about him. But Shoemaker is
strictly "yes" and mo" con-
versationalist. If that is the
proper term. He likes movies
and he likes to fish and talking

Willie, his wife, Virginia. and
his agent, Harry Silbert, all got
the idea about the same time
that he had a chance to break
DeSpirito's record. It occurred
to them during the last Del Mar
summer meeting and Mrs. Shoe
maker was all for a good try at
1t so that, Of all things, they
might be able to take a spur-of-
the-moment vacation in 1854.
That's wife's way Of looking
