Four Kentucky Derby candi-
dates, dreaming Of bigger things,
perhaps. and seven other colts
trying to make an honest dollar.
make up today's field for the
fourth running of the 10000
added Cherry Blossom Stakes at
Laurel.
A forecast Of sunny weather.
with the temperature in the mid
SOS. prompted Laurel officials to
plan for a turnout Of at least
$4,000 fans. 1t figured to be the
biggest day of the current 19-
day meeting.
Post time for the first race
was las. as usual, but the Cher
ry Blossom. a 6-furlong dash,
has been moved back to the
seventh race on the program and
will go of at approximately 4:45
pm.
Helen Fiske Smith, Washing
tons representative in the Miss
America" contest at Atlantic
City last summer, will present
the trophy to the winning owner.
She is officially Cherry Blossom
hostess to all princesses in the
fete from the various States.
Double Speed Gets Spotlight.
Mrs. John D. Hertz's unbeaten
Double Speed, making his 3-year-
old debut after winning four
races last year, was the star at
traction. One of three horses

Double Speed worked half a mile
in a sizzling OATS over a muddy
track yesterday to prove his
readiness.
The playful son Of Count Speed
has not been tested at a distance,
but nothing has been close to
him at 6 furlongs. including
Correlation. and Trainer Monte
Parke will be surprised if he
doesn't win today. Since the
Cherry Blossom is an allowance
race and Double Speed has piled
up earnings of $42.s75, he'll car
ry top weight Of 124 pounds.
The Californian's rider will be
Pete Moreno, older brother of
Henry Moreno. who piloted Dark
Star to his upset Derby victory
over Native Dancer last year.
Henry was conceded an excellent
chance Of becoming the third
Jockey in history to win two sue
cessive Derbys this year on Harry
Guggenheim'S Turn-to. But that
dream ended when Turn-to
bowed tendon several days ago
and was withdrawn.
Derby Odds Lowered.
However. Pete may be the first
rider to follow his brother into
the winners circle at Churchill
Downs if Double Speed gets to
the starting gate without mis-
hap. Double Speed opened at
30 to in the Derby future book
but the odds have been whitfield
down to 10 to / and probably
will take another dip if he
scores today.
But Double Speed and Moreno
will be up against some crafty
competition today. Brae Burn

Timely Tip Favored
In Arkansas Derby;
$4,000 Colt Dies
BY the Assoeiated Press

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Mar.
27.-A. L. Birch's Timely Tip,
winner Of two out of three starts
as a 3-year-old. was the 2-to-1
favorite to capture the 10000
added Arkansas Derby. today's
closing-day feature at Oaklawn
Park.
The Birch speedster was top
weighted for the 18th running
Of the mile-and-a-furlong test
at 123 pounds, including Oak
lawns top jockey, Harold Craig.
Expected to provide most Of
the competition for Timely Tip
were Rebel Stables Super Devil,
ridden by Bobby Baird; John
H. Clark's Winning Count with
Hank Moreno up, and Pollard
and Harkins' Close Out.
Others in the field of 10 were
W. M. Peavey's Jett Fire, H. H.
Rendleman's King Bebe, Leo j.
Callouette's Joe's Crest; Russo,
Rehling and Dobson's Spartan
Jett, Monarch Stables Talmen,

Jett Fire and Spartan Jett
were coupled as an entry.
The death yesterday of one of
the Derby's leading nominees,
Leon A. Slavin's Spur Baby, cast
a shadow over the feature. Spur
Baby collapsed and died of a
heart attack shortly after he
had completed workout. His
owner recently rejected a $40, 900
offer for the colt.
The Slavin speedster, winner
OF four out of five starts here,
probably would have ruled as
one of the favorites.

years younger than a genera
ton or two ago. Time was when
no family could afford its own
home until Mother and Dad
were well into middle-age.
Today, the new home owner
is apt to be closer to 80, thus
enabling young families to start
their life together in their own
home instead of rented rooms
or a rented house. With this has
come the opportunity for chill
dren to grow up in their own
home, rather than move from
place to place.
Under today's home financing
arrangements, 1t is far easier to
buy a home than it was in days
past. Low down payments. a
single long-term mortgage with
easy monthly payments have
eliminated the old-time mort
gage idea. with high interest
rates and frequent renewals with
heavy renewal fees. ~
All of it adds up to the ar
resting fact that families today
spend a smaller proportion of.
their income for their own homes

Buying and installing a wood
window is much simpler today

The advantage of a unit over
separately installed frame and
sash is that the fit is more snug,
