Doyle's Column It's A Wonderful Way To Make A Living, Maybe By HAL BOYLE HIALEAH RACETRACK, Fla., Feb. 20 (V) At the ripe old age of 35 years 11 months and 25 days I nave learned a wonderful way to make money. You go to a place called a i X. linrana cnnSC raceiraciv w" - - each other around like the hands on a clock, xou pun s a little iron grill, tell the man what horse you have decided will win. Then vou come bacK later and the man gives you more money than you put down. Ike Squelches Road Request . SEATTLE, Feb. 20 IP) Gen. DwiRht D. Eisenhower has ad vised the Pacific Northwest Trade association that the war department is not likely to lend Its surport to proposed construc tion oi a highway connecting the ' v pacific northwest with the Alcan rVute. C. B. Lindeman said to- . diWdeman, association presi dent,, said the army chief of olaff's statement was in reply to a letter written by Sen. Cain (R-Wash.) and asking what mil itary value there would be in a west coast approach route from Vancouver, B. C, through Prince George to the White horse, Y. T., area. The general replied, said Lindeman, that studies of the proposed route "would not have sufficient military value to justify its construction and main tenance by the United States on a military basis. . . "While such a road would augment our reserve transports, tion facilities, the contribution In this Instance would be rela tively small.' Under these con siderations, war department testimony before congress re garding the project would furn ish little support for the high way's construction." . . Accidental Shot Kills Mother PONTIAC, Mich., Feb. 20 VP) Four-year-old Jerry Lee Har graves played at a neighbor's home today, unaware that he had accidentally killed his moth er with a shotgun blast yester day. I' The boy's mother, Mrs. Lou dene Hargraves, 23, was shot in the back by the charge from a .410 gauge shotgun which Jerry had removed from a closet. Her husband, Clyde, was at work in the Fisher body plant at the time of the tragedy. He - told police he kept the gun to hunt small game and for target practice. . . Neighbors heard the shot and found Mrs. Hargraves in the - kitchen. She was dead on ad mittance to the hospital. Unn i Inn if hm thi tvxn tfotnit? Why doesn't everybody get rich? It's so simple. I had never seen a horserace In my life until I came here to Florida last week. I went out to Hialeah with a couple of friends and the suggestion was made that 1 might enjoy the affair more if I invested some capital in it. The sixth race was the main event the McLennan handicap and the fastest horse was to get $25,000 worth of hay,I asked a character in a sky blue suit holding up a nearby fence with one hand which horse would come in first, and he said: "Put $5 on the nose for 'Armed' and you won't have to walk home." Well, he certainly was a gen erous man and me a complete stranger to him, too. Looking 'am Over Just to be certain I looked over the horses as they were led around the mounting ring. This Armed looked all right. He isn't a very big horse, but he has a deep chest and a long flowing black tail which he likes to wave in other horses' faces. He isn't in the least stuck-up. I saw him nod to one man in the crowd who had assured him of his support. I rushed over to the window and laid down my $5 and was told that as soon as Armed fin- : i i J I n . Wa f wmiIiI probably get $9 back if too many people aian i una out iiuw good he was and invest in him too. I went up into the stand, bought a hot dog and a soft drink for thirty cents and sat back to watch my money roll in. Somebody blew a bugle and a few minutes later the announcer squawked: "They're at the post." in and tftt lid saw tn . up horses began chasing each other. Armed, my norse, was in mm UJIn oniric .mimH thai MirV and everybody was yelling- at misled. But coming around the I 1 ruartrl Vim miLrot lin TAMf I and loped in four length ahead or me neia. i C 4Kb tin.. T a-rtt b rvii in i4 trt ' collecting my money I learned I : would get only $6.25 instead of J S8. My Dig-mouinea rriena in we i blue suit must have told every- j hnHv in tha crowd which horse would win. Twenty-Five per cent Vmin .n T fimirori that T had won twenty-five per cent on my money in two minutes. This doesnt take' into account, of course, the thirty cents spent on refreshments. But where else can you get a return on capital like that In these times? Armed has done pretty well for himself. He is only six years old and has won $415,875. Only four other horses in history and perhaps Shirley Temple have done better financially at that age. But Shirley had curls and could ance. As I left the stands I saw a man nudge his companion and overheard him say as he pointed to a dapper gray-haired digni tary standing nearby: "He had $35,000 on Armed." That Tonvi-.iced me. If the financiers are In on It, this horse racing must be a sound, profit able business. I only hope the securities and exchange commis sion doesn't step in and change the whole picture before I make my pile. So far I nave only made one mistake. I think maybe I should have looked up that man in the blue suit and offered him a part nership. He has sound judgment even if he did need a ahave.
