Hildreth had been ill for nearly
a year.
Mrs. Hildreth and "the trainer's
phy.sk-inn. Dr. Benjamin T. Tilton.

L "Uncle Sam" as the 68-year-old
tun veteran was lamiiiariy khuhii
about the track was connected
with' conditioning race horses of;
one kind or another since hU
childhood days. First it was bron
cho horses out west that attracted
the riding skill of youth Hildreth.
Then he took up riding on the
half-mile tracks of the far west,
developing Into a sensational
Jockey.
Following the. natural, trend,
"l.'nelo Sam" becanio an owner
and trainer with more than the
ordinary amount of success. . Be
fore going with' the Uancoeas
itable. he trained for the late Au
gust Belmont.
Built (.rent Siring.
Rut It was during tho past dec
ide that his greatest success came.
With tho money of Harry F. Sin
clair he built up a stablo that
swept through the American turf
year after year, but last season
on epidemic that took Its toll of
Vfic lliimocas stable's horses, put
Hildreth down the list of leading
money winners itmong trainers for
tho first time In several, years.
Zev probably was the best linrso
ever developed by Hildreth. Thl

Hildreth was one of the few
trainers of the old school who did
not -train the- flesh off their
j charges. Tho thoroughbreds of
the Hancocaa stable look high In

better they appear. It was a raro
occasion when a horse under
l.'m-le Sam's Tutelage, broke down.
Nor did ho try to get the "last
race" out of a thoroughbred.
Horses meant more to Hildreth
than a moans of accumulating
money. They wero his pets.

" Perhaps other girls would like this hint from a real-life
story . . . Since coming to Hollywood as one of many 'extra
girls, 1 have had to make every penny count. My clothes are
my most precious possessions! So every night I go over my
wardrobe, washing each thing that is a bit wilted in Lux.
"Sometimes I have had to save on breakfasts but
never on Lux that is an essential, , . . Again and again
I've been complimented on my lovely new clothes. And
I've gotten any number of jobs, I know, because my clothes
look nice thanks to Lux."
