people are spending iott of
money, too. -The
average dally mutuel
handle to date is $1,314,581. Off
hand that might not appear start
ling, but that four-day average
(and there Is little reason to ex
pect a- decline) exceeds the larg
est peacetime handle this same
Hollywood Park ever had. That
was in 1941 when Big Pebble
won the gold cup and $1,300,452
was wafted across the boards.
And the top handle the fab
ulous Santa Anita Park, .which
opens Dec. 30 also after a three
year layoff, achieved was as
$1,707,151 the memorable after
noon Seablscuit and Kayak II
ran one-two in the $100,000 San

So what! So the handle last
Saturday at Hollywood Park
was $1,813,272 for another new
record.
LOUIS WINS IN
EXHIBITION GO
Baltimore, Nov. 7 U.R) Sgt
Joe Louis used the lightest
bombs In the rack last night, but
demonstrated his old time pre
cision long enough to win a de
cision over Charley Crump, Bal
timore coast guardsman, In a
three-round exhibition bout In
the jam-packed Century Athletic
club.
Performing for the second
time as an "added feature" In a
scheduled string of exhibition
fights, the Brown Bomber hoard
ed his heavy artillery and gave
Crump only a few samples of his
sharp punching.
Four thousand fans gave Sol
dier Joe a thundering ovation as
he climbed into the ring. The
champ weighed 212, and ap
peared to be flabbier than the
sleek machine he was at his pre
war peak.
Crump tried hard to box him
self out of an obvious stooge
status; but he had little control
over the situation.

TO THE
BILL PROVIDES
NEW MEANS OF
Washington (U.R) A ' house
holder wishing to pay a small
bill by mail may soon be able to
do so by using a new safe and
Inexpensive method proposed by
the post office department.
Early action by the senate
post office committee is expect
ed on a house-approved bill,
providing a postal-note system
for transmitting small amounts
of money by mail. The bill would
permit postmasters to issue such
notes in fixed denominations of
10 cents, 50 cents, .one dollar
and in multiples of 50 cents up
to and Including $10. Odd cents
would be included in the form
of adhesive postal-note stamps.
These would cost five cents each.
Saving To Public
Under the new revenue act.
fees for regular postal money
orders up to $10 range from 10
to 18 cents. Orders may be pur
chased up to $100, but since 70
per cent of the business 1k for
sums. of $10 or less, the new low-
cost service would represent
considerable saving to citizens.
It would relieve the post office
department of considerable book
keeping. The accounting necessi
tated by the present money order
system has cost the department
at least one cent on each money
order Issued and during the
last fiscal year over 346,000,000
were handled. Banks, too, have
found the handling of "money
orders burdensome and have re
quested relief from the post of
fice' department.
Valid Two Months
The post office department
hopes, too, that the new system-
will discourage people from
sending coin, currency and post
age stamps in the mails.
The notes would be valid for
two calendar months from the
date of issue, could not be en
dorsed to another person. If
their cost should exceed expec
tations, the postmaster general
would boost the fee to six cents,
or if feasible, lower it to three
cents.
