When Floods Subside
EW YORK.—T wo men in
the news this week attest
the fact that floods subside and
wars end. It was only a few
weeks ago that Churchill Downs
was a dismal swamp. And now
the Kentucky derby fanfare is
on again, with the purse upped
$50,000 and the durable Colonel
Matt Winn taking bows for hav
ing lined up again all the truly
illustrious three-year-olds in the
country, flood or no flood.

Syracuse Bowlers Make High Score

sence of nine years. Remember the
“Perils of Pauline” and ‘‘Exploits of
Elaine”? Pearl was the heroine of
them all.
Rolling up a score of 3,045, this quintet of straight-shooters from Syra
cuse, N. Y., set a new high mark for the American Bowling congress
in New York City, recently. The bowlers, representing the Pastime Ath
letic club of Syracuse, rolled three games of 1,055, 979 and 1,011 for the
impressive total, topping by 17 pins the winning score in the congress ol
1935. The team, left to right, includes Clarence Walters, Hank Kaupp,
Jim Melligan, Art Loos and Jim Reinsmith.
Manhattan Oarsmen Welcome Springtime
The Manhattan college varsity crew hail the advent of spring weather by taking their shell down the Har
lam river for a* outdoor workout. The theme song of these New Yorkers is “Swinging the Sweeps.”
OF Man River backs away, and
there is assured a braver flare of
silks and trumpets than ever before,
as the pastures grow green again
in Wall street and Kentucky.
This will be Colonel Winn’s sixty-
third Kentucky derby. He saw his
first one in 1875, won by a little
red horse called Aristides. He was
a grocer’s boy, watching the race
from the tailboard of his employer’s
cart.
Being a romantic Irish lad, the
excitement never stopped boiling.
After that, he never could keep his
mind on his groceries. He has had
many a run-around in the racing
business, but, at seventy-five, he
isn’t the least bit track-sore. As pres
ident of the Kentucky Jockey club
and executive director of Churchill
Downs, he rides recurrent floods
like Noah and always finds dry land.
In 1907, the late James Butler
opened the Empire City track, but
the nabobs of racing hereabouts
refused to recognize it. Mr. Butler
signed up Colonel Winn to run it. In
eight months it was given full recog
nition.
When Charles Evans Hughes
squelched racing in New York state,
Colonel Winn tried his fortune in
racing and management at Juarez,
Mexico, with unhappy results. He
returned to Kentucky, where he just
naturally belongs, and now he just
about runs racing in Kentucky and
Illinois. He is president of the Amer
ican Turf association, which con
trols not only Churchill Downs, but
also the tracks of Chicago and Laur
el, Md.
The years paw at the Colonel’s
rob ist person the way the river
paws at the track. So far, neither
has won a decision. The Godolphin
Arab, ancestor of all the Bangtails,
was never more alive than the white
haired Colonel Winn, with his genial,
round face, up-tilted Irish nose and
bright, twinkling eyes.

Proof the War is Over.
IT IS Dr. William R. Valentiner,
- curator of the Detroit Insti
tute of Art, who provides this
week’s reminder that the war’s over.
As one of the most authoritative and
highly respected art critics of the
country, he passes as authentic the
lost Rembrandt “Juno” portrait,
which arrived in New York recently.
Seventeen years ago, there was
considerable public concern as to
whether Dr. Valentiner should be
allowed to return to this country.
This writer dredged up a most in
temperate editorial on that subject
—Yellow with age and strangely un
real in the world of today.
Dr. Valentiner, frock-coated and
dignified curator of decorative arts
at the Metropolitan museum, had
been in Germany when the war
started. He remained to fight for
Germany. He was an artilleryman,
twice decorated.
He wrote happily to his confreres
at the museum that his elevation
to the rank of vice-sergeant major
relieved him from currying his own
horse. He resigned from the
museum when we entered the war.
Before coming to America, he had
attained distinction as a curator at
the Hague and at the Royal mu
seums of Berlin. He became one of
the world authorities on Rembrandt.
He contends that, of the 175 sup
posed Rembrandts in the United
States and Canada, only forty-eight
are genuine — incidentally, worth
$50,000,000, as “time and the river”
roll on for 350 years.

AROUND
the HOUSE
Cooking Vegetables - A small
piece of butter added to the water
in which vegetables are to
be cooked will prevent them from
boiling over.
• • •
Boiling Cabbage — When you
cook cabbage, put a small hand
ful of breadcrumbs tied in muslin
into the pan. The bread absorbs
all the bitter juices and makes
the vegetable more digestible.
• • »
Worn Socks — Children very of
ten get enormous holes in the heels
of their socks. This is often due to
the lining of the shoe which has
worn rough. If the ragged bits
are cut off and the inside of the
shoe covered with adhesive tape,
many a large “hole” will be pre
vented.
• * *
Flavoring Gravy — Half milk
and half water makes the best
colored and best flavored gravy.
• • •
Making a Footstool — Do you
know that you can make unique
footstools out of the single spring
seats of an old automobile? Cover
the old seat with upholstery and
attach castors at the four corners.
This will give you a comfortable
seat or footstool for your summer
cottage.

Sausage and Fried Apples —
Pan broil the required number of
small sausages or cakes of sau
sage meat and as soon as the fat
collects, add as many halved,
cored and unpeeled apples as re
"Quotations"
—v —
One of the most valuable of all
kinds of self-mastery is the power of
switching off thoughts at the bidding
of the will.— Dean Inge.
The man who is a law unto him
self is not a social or, strictly speak
ing, a moral creature.— Wickham
Steed.
Surely there's no actor who’s ever
satisfied with his work, who doesn’t
see all kinds of mistakes he’d like
to correct.— Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
The will to live is often more
powerful than any drug. When the
will gives in the body surrenders.—
Bruce Barton.
Belief in God is the real solution
for our problems, national and inter-
national.— Bishop Manning.

Campos the Conqueror
NOTHER Harvard man in the
news—also in jail. The incar
cerated Pedro Albizu Sampoa has
been the spark plug, or main irri
tant, of the incipient revolution in
Puerto Rico, flaring up again at San
Juan with seven killed and fifty
injured.
A wavy-haired mulatto with Valen
tino sideburns, pearl-button shoes
and a Harvard degree, he has as
pired to become the Henri Chris
tophe of Latin America, spilling
sesquipedalian words over eleven
countries. His father was a Basque
and his mother Spanish, Negroid and
Indian. He is frail in physique, of
cafe con leche coloring, passionately
intense and racked with patriotic
fervor.
Last month, the nationalist party,
leading the present agitation for in
dependence, again elected him pres
ident. Several years ago, he started
his movement with a black shirt
army with wooden guns. His arrest
and trial for sedition, with seven
others last July, has kept Puerto
Rico boiling ever since.
