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

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.

. 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.

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."

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.

YOUNG or old, you thrill to the
sparkle of its massive grille,
bright with the kiss of the morn

Grandson or grandpa, you take
in the flowing sweep of those
follow-through fenders and un

trend of car design. v
Lift the bonnet, and feel your
heart do a nip-up at sight of a
massive Fireball straight-eight
that wakes with a purr, pulses
with power, fairly pleads for the
privilege of taking you places.
Now try on the seats, just for size.
Take in the great and gracious
room so cunningly provided

Slip out on the road and feel the
down-to-earth sureness of low

stride of a car cradled all around
on soft coil springs. .

Nowhere today does a dollar
buy a bigger measure of good

is the one you've dreamed about
and the first step toward mak

get your order in. '
