Where were we now? Jack Dempsey was speaking of his exper-
fence as a horse owner. The five yearings he bought from John
p. Madden were no-account, but the one the famous Kentucky
Observation-Disclosures gave him on the house-Doctor Wilson
named for Jacks boxing partner--won the 1928 Tijuana Derby.
Dempsey said he had q piece OF the Tijuana race track, ten per
cent Of it in fact. Jim Coffroth, a fight promoter had introduced the
fr-t 100000 horse race at the Mexican track, the Coffroth Handicap
later called the Aqua Caliente Handicap when the new track sup
planted Tijuana in 1880.
Hceae racing eased the boredom of being heavyweight champion
of the world, of having all the things you wanted, or thought you
wanted, and sometimes wishing you were broke and happy again.
There were lots of laughs, though-Ike telling "Overcoat Jack" Atkin

Dear Helen:
Any girl who feels that the man with whom she plans to spend
the rest of her life is capable of cruelty had better stop right where
she is and think a long time before she makes the trip down the
aisle.
For the man who is cruel and critical before marriage is hardly
lzely to be any kinder afterward. Once the ceremony is over and the
sri is tied to him as his wife, he usually gets to feel that there's no
-red any longer to make any effort at consideration at all In fact,
to her wears off.
I'm inclined to think the wisest thing you could do would be
% call the wedding off for good, as I'm extremely doubtful that
you'll find this man a devoted and considerable husband However,
if you don't want to do anything SO final right now, then / urge
you to at least postpone the wedding day until you can either look
forward to it with perfect confidence and happiness or else resign
yourself to the fact that the risk Of becoming a thoroughly unhappy
