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Supply" has quit Santa Anita in a huff, and withdrawn his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.

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

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.

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

n fact, I think a fair test of any
reduction regimen Is whether one

you do not feel better, with Improved

not suitable. If your health Is not
distinctly better when you have be
gun to reduce, your diet or other
measures are not suitable.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Taking the Air
Please explain the air bath. Does
It take the place of tub bathing? . , .
(A. P.)
Answer. Tub bathing? Ah, fond
memories of Saturday night, behind
the clothes bara. The great draw
back waa carrying the water out to
water the tomato patch afterward.
Now an air be.th la my notion of a
nice, clean, comfortable and hygienic
bath. Ben Franklin took one in his
room every morning for half an hour
or more. The longer you can spend
at your air bath dally the better for
health.
Ganglion
I really have no doctor. About a
year ago I strained my wrist driving
steel posts on my farm. The arm
became numb for the time. Later a
lump came on the wrist below the
thumb, alze of a hazelnut. It la pain
ful at times. Local doctor calls It
ruptured tendon. He advised opera
tion, then told me to paint with Io
dine. (B. C. C.)
Ans. So, now you have no doctor.
eh? The advice sounds good to me.
The ganglion or "weeping sinew" may
disappear without operation, but of
ten It la necessary to remove tne aac,
through a email Incision made under

should really have a doctor even 11

Comment

Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
fORMER Governor Albert C. Ritchie
of Maryland, one of the outstand
lng critics of the New Deal, dies sud
denly In Baltimore, the victim, ap
paretttly, of a stroke.
Only a few hours before his death,
at a church meeting across the street
from his home, he voiced vigorous
criticism of centralization of govern
ment at Washington, with Its result
lng destruction of state rights.
- -ft
piRST Huey Long. Now ex-Governor
Kitcnie, une oy one tne out'
standing critics of the New Deal are
being stricken. In a more superstl
tttious age, people -would have whis
pered to each other that providence
must be taking a hand.
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.

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.
