Editorial Correspondence LOS ANGKLES, Feb. 25. They are still talking about the big boss race particularly those who bet on Time Supply. And the movies of that smashing finish, which wc have just seen, appear to bear them out. Slow motion would show it more clearly, but as we caught it, the winner "Top Row" did cut across in front of Rosemont and Whopper, throwing them out of stride and knocking them in front of Time Supply. If that's a foul and they say it is then $100,000 or no $100,000, the Bnroni horse should have been disqualified. But the judges ruled otherwise, so that's that. Our own hunch is Wright, the jockey imported for that one race, pulled a fast one and got away with it. The fact that he hepped "The Chief" last night for Miami, Florida, with $10,- 000 in his pocket, doesn't weaken that suspicion; nor the fact that Baroni, the owner of Top Row, is under indictment for crooked racing last summer in Chicago. The owner of "Time Supply" has quit Santa Anita in a huff, and withdrawn his horse from the final big race on Saturday. The season closes then. Great excitement and dissension now but by the time Santa Anita opens again, it will all be forgotten. Hoss racing without a bit of crookedness and scandal, wouldn't be hoss racing, would itt The predicted showers failed to materialize, another nice day cool for Los Angeles, but not too cool for the bench warmers in Pershing Square. Many of the old familiars of two years ago are here, so are the pigeons and the black birds. The "lion tamer" with his laced riding boots, pith helmet, whipcord breeches and whip AUTHORITY on communism, "Buffalo Bill," large, flashy atheist and a good talker; a sawed off Jew cursing out Hitler and J. P. Morgan a big strapping man, sunburned under a huge Stetson a big featured, kindly face, maintaining all the ills of the world could be cured if we would treat the people as we do horses and dogs with kind ness and patience. "Sure," a sharp voice from the crowd adds, "Put us ALL in the dog house that would settle it." He gets a big laugh. ... A tall, lean, sad-faced gentleman, white stiff collar, black tie, strolls up with his hands in his trousers pock ets. Nothing unusunl in that except the pockets are a type seldom seen nowadays. Gus Newbury used to affect them perhaps he still does. They are built high up, opening near the waistband, and in front. They originated, no doubt, in the P. T. Barnum era when pocket-picking was a popular outdoor sport. "He's a theosonhist, always carries a Bible with him," volunteers the eldcrlv gentleman on our left. "He's a great talker too." That's no distinction all great talkers and some good Gus Newbury (wait a minute, there may be a libel suit in this!) cut that ' ' ' - The man with pants pockets, such as Gus Newbury is re ported to have worn, once upon a time, propounds this hypo thetical question : . "If I had a corn on my foot, an aching corn, and they cut off my leg, but that corn still hurts, whet would that bet" "Psychology," replied the small clean shaven man on the bench with a knitted muffler about his neck. "You can't deny psychology." "No," replied Gus solemnly, "it would be just human imag inationand illusion. The trouble with us is, there are too many corns on our feet these days." This profound observation appeared to impress the group tremendously at least there was silence, for several minutes while Gus pulled his hands out of his front pants pockets, pushed them back again, and strolled on. "He's a thesophist a great talker," the old man on the left announced again. "Feet ain't the only place some birds have corns," a voice at the far end of the bench observed, irreverently. More silence, then an old boy took the pipe from his mouth and remarked: "They say Dr, Townsend has sold out for a million dollars." A figure in an old brown ulster, faded yellow along the edges, rises from the bench across the walk and approaches the speaker, "Who wijm so," he asks menacingly. "Well I heard it he was a poor doctor now he lives in u hotel suite, rides in a Cadillac with a shoo-fer." "Well, what if he is, that ain't sellin' olit. He earned his money and workin' for old men like you. You ain't fit to . . ." Tho lion tamer butted in at this point. "All right, boys, go out aiid roll your hoops, play Napoleon. When you get your Tiwnscnd plan I'll be king of Patagonia." Buffalo Bill suddenly leaned forward, all attention, as a girl turned the corner and passed the bench at top speed n flicker more and she would have been on the dog trot. A mop ef kinky black hair flying in the breeze, heavily penciled eye brows, a lace handkerchief clutched in one fist, dabbing her eyes, muttering to herself. The Inst mutter sounded like one that in the olden days was better accompanied by a siuile. She went on her high heels lapping the bricks angrily. Buffalo Bill stroked his white, tobacco stained goatee, adjusted his er.'inn colored Stetson, arose and with cane swinging, followed her. The grass is bright green, the palms rise high in the air above, like flagpole parasols, the pigeons coo and wobble ibout fcr food that may be thrown, it's NICK in the sun, and as the sun moves so do the bovs in Pershing Square I R.

Beverly Hills, CaL REDUCTION Woman 60 pounds overweight had tried many times to reduce, but had felt so let down and weak after a few daya of restricted diet that she In variably broke training and gorged right back to her maximum weight. Then she took an optimal vitamin ration for a month, sup plementing her regular diet, and once more at temped. the re- ductton diet. She found she was able to stick to the regimen this time, and lost only two or three pounds a week without dif ficulty. When she had reduced some thirty pounds she reported: "X find I can do all my housework without getting so extremely fatigued as I did before ... to my sister's delight I no longer demand large quantities of coffee every day, which I formerly needed as a stimulant . . . for the first time In many years I not only do my dally keep-fit exercises but I enjoy them." What has happened to thla woman? I'll give you my own notion. Take It or leave It. For many years she has been trying to get along on nourish ment that lacked something. What, a fairly well-to-do family subsist ting on Inadequate food? Yes, millions do, because up to now we knew no better Thla woman had long suffered, whether ahe or her doctor recognized It of not, from moderate vitamin shortage. Ordinarily he could worry along, grunting and complaining more or lees, but still alive and able to drag her weight about. But when she tried to follow a reduction diet, she cut her vitamin Intake from a slight deficit to a large deficit or al most a total deprivation, and conse quently the symptoms of avltamlnosls began to manifest themselves more Insistently and, of course, defeated the reduction scheme. After all. any one who seeks to reduce must achieve the purpose in Just one way by eat ing less, burning more, or both. I do not base this explanation on the Incident mentioned, but on some thousands of similar cases observed, j not by myself, but by good physi cians throughout the country. How ! else account for the maintenance of good vitality on the same reduction regimen. If not from the building up of a moderate reserve of vitamins in the body? Since the optimal vitamin ration re ferred to is Itself good food, each teaspoonful representing 30 to 40 cal ories, It may seem strange at first that a person can reduce more suc cessfully by supplementing his re duction diet with It, but experience has proved this in so many Instances NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Feb. 37. Metropoli tan bathrooms continue to grow In elegance. In many mansions the bath symbolizes lux ury more than the drawing room. A $25,000 ex penditure Is not a novelty. Any number are as large a the aver age sized hotel room. One In E 66th street cost $50,000. Equip makes them ns livable as a bed room. Just now the fad Is for the sunken tub. often hewn out of solid blocks of marble or onyx. The showers, glass enclosed, feature a half dozen types of spray, includ ing electric and the violet ray. And there are automatic fle-.h bnwhes. With the times frowning on out ward display, people of wealth may let themselves go In the privacy the bath endows. One I saw with walla and celling entirely mirrored had a shell-pink floor that had all the lustre of expensive Jade with sunset light aglow underneath. Within arm reach of the bath was a rubberized English phone. Also radio dial, an inset alarm clock that may be set for a brief nap and a head rest or pneumatic c slgn.

AND VITALITY that there can longer be any question about It. n fact, I think a fair test of any reduction regimen Is whether one following It feels better or worse. If you do not feel better, with Improved vitality, greater ambition to work and play, then your regimen is probably not suitable. If your health Is not distinctly better when you have be gun to reduce, your diet or other measures are not suitable. In the booklet, "Design for Dwind ling" (copy for ten cents coin and stamped addressed envelope). I have outlined In sufficient detail the whole business of reduction, always with better health and vitality as the main consideration. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Taking the Air Please explain the air bath. Does It take the place of tub bathing? . , . (A. P.) Answer. Tub bathing?

MAJOR GENERAL JOHNSON HA GOOD, commanding the elgh.b army corps area at San Antonio, Texas, criticizes the New Deal In tes timony before a house appropriations committee, and Is promptly relieved of his command and ordered to "await orders." In his testimony before the appro priations committee, he suggested that congress take advantage of the WPA "stage money" and use It to improving housing conditions at army posts. He explains today that he called WPA funda stage money, "because you can pass It around but you can't get anything out of It In the end.1 IN HIS testimony In Washington, General Ha good urged that 150.- 000,000 be used for army housing, and said : "At the present time, there la a vast flow of silver I won't say gold spreading out all over the country like mud. It will soon dry up with out anything permanent to show for It." Then he added: "I am not familiar with the various pockets in which Uncle Sam keeps his money, but I understand there la budget money, which Is very hard to get; there Is PWA money, which Is not so hard to get; and then there la a vast quantity of WPA money, which Is very easy to get for trifling projects, but almost Impossible to get for anything worth while." WELL, that's criticizing. One can hardly blame the New Deal for calling him down pretty sharply after that. But a lot of us believe the general is hitting pretty close to the truth. A SON and heir la born to Coun tess Barbara Hutton Haugwltz Reventlow, spectacular granddaughter of F. W. Woolworth, the C-and-10-cent store king. The boy is born In a great house overlooking Hyde Park, in London. The mother Is intended by-three phy cians, the secretary of whom an nounces that mother and child are doing well. It la reported that a special agent is on duty In the house "to see that no unauthorized person enters and to guard against possible kidnapers." BARBARA HUTTON has been about as outstanding an example of the wealthy flapper as could be Imagined, and to date she has been about as worthless to the world as a young woman could be. Ai a mother, ahe may turn out to be a shining success. You never can tell about these things. A lot of supposedly wild young wo men have turned out that way. BMBnd m mmn. (Continued from Page One.) In fact, the it ea rings disclosed some very Interesting testimony. It Is extremely unusual for a govern ment official to hint that he can get along without appropriations for his own department, but the for estry officials did. They pointed out that they avoided "getting too en tangled In this project without the approval of congress." Also that they "developed the project so we could fold our tenta and move oxit" It congress did not approve. The invitation to congress was subtle, bxit effective.

Both generally asaert that they won, which la a fairly good In dication that the matter haa not been decided yet. The simplest definition of govern ment credit was given off the record the otbw day by an official In a position to know. He said:' "The matter Is aa delicate and devastat ing as the reputation of a man. It a citizen la known to be a gambler or haa the reputation of a apend thrlft, he la apt to find hla banker Increasingly meticulous about lend ing him money. But a man with a reputation for care and caution can borrow far more on leas collateral." Two young New Deal lawyers were arguing, where they thought they would not be overheard, that there la no future In the New Deal any more.' They argued that the plod ding waa probably not worth the salary Involved. Less obvious symptoma have been noticed among the far more promi nent liberals near the seate of power. .
