In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of . Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. EDDY is dead—and there :s mourning in the horse world. He died on Sunday at Kent- mere, near Boyce, Va. of in- testinal trouble. There was muci interest among thoroughbred breeders when this grand | horse was imported to America from France in 1932 and placed at the head of Kenneth Gilpin’s Kentmere Stud. Teddy by Ajax out of Rondeau was foaled in 1913 and was never out of the money during his racing career. The French horse was not only famous as a race horse on the other wde, but was an outstanding stallion. His French foals from 1921 to 1934 won 429 races, 16,500,000 francs. Teddy was leading sire of France for two | seasons, stood second for two years, | shird twc years and fourth one year. | He was the sire of many prominent | minners, and sire of two of America’s | better stallions—Sir Gallahad and Bull Dog—this makes him grandsire of Gallant Fox and great-grandsire | of Ohmaha. His son Bull Dog was the leading sire in America last year. Teddy was the most promising stallion | that ever has been America, because he imported to was a great race horse, the sire of great race horses | and his get of brood mares abroad are | among the top. o o His colts have brought top prices 81 Saratoga yearling sales for two scasons. The first American crop | raced last year and include the win- |ners—Sun Teddy, Sea Ted and Trumps, One of Teddy's sons attract- ing attention is Tedious, owned by Alfred G. Vanderbilt, he made his second start last week, which he won and his stable thinks highly of this racy-looking son of Teddy, and believes | he will fight it out for the juvenile championship of this year. Tedious by Teddy out of Duration was foaled in Virginia, on William Lipscomb's | place, Raspberry Plain, near Leesburg | |and sold in Mr. Lipscomb's sale of vearlings at Saratoga last Summer.l‘ | Tedious is a big, brilliant colored | chestnut, and Alfred Vanderbilt says, is | the outstanding young one in his stable. | * * | At the Saratoga’ sales in August, there will be several Teddy colts for sale, they will be sent from the stables of Admiral Cary T. Grayson, William | H. Lipscomb and Wallace Armstrong. and should sell at a premium. Ken- neth Gilpin has several Teddy colts, | but is going to keep them. Teddy, was owned jointly by Kenneth Gilpin and F. Wallace Armstrong. The price | they were said to have paid for him in Prance was $60.000, Mr. Gilpin was | | not at home when his great old sire died, as he had gone to Canada for the salmon fishing. Ksar, another good French Stal- | lion, which was brought over to Amer- ica last fall, is jointly owned by Ken- ineth Gilpin and A. S. Hewitt. He | stands at Montana Hall in Clark | County, Va., the home of Mr. Hewitt. DAILY SHORT STORY | By Hilma Enander. *T)ON'T forget he’s not going #n buy it outright,” #aid Philip. “But an inven- tion!” protested Jean. “Makes no dif- ference. 1 may ‘thave a raise—per- e, haps a small com- ll'~; mission on each 1 dot-meter install- F T 5 ed” Y \ “But we'll have that trip?” “Maybe.” Guiping down a second cup of cof- fee, he reached for his hat. PhilipHostler was meter foreman in a large utility company. He was a silent man, somewhat given to moods. “He gets on my nerves,” grumpled Taylor, the plant's superintendent, to the assistant. “Mine, too!” assented Marks. He was about to add something more when Taylor cut him short. “Take that to O'Brien,” said the superintendent, curtly, holding out a paper, “and send Hostler to me.” He had just remembered that he had told Philip to bring his inven- tion that morning. Not that he had much faith in what Philip could do! All piffie about inventing an instru- ment that would give the combined register of all meters for a half-hour period. Still he would have a look at the ‘machine. He nodded coldly as Philip came #n carrying the dot-meter. “Here it is,” said Philip briefly. * x * ¥ HE SET the dot-meter down on the desk. He had unwrapped the ma- chine outside the office so as not to take too much of Taylor's time. He feit a thrill of pride as his eyes flashed over the black electro-magnets with their gay-colored bell wire, the roughly cut wooden arms supported by lath nails, the small medicine bottles filled with different colored inks and at- tached by wicking to the felt dotter on the end of the arm. He had made this! Suddenly ab- sorbed, he began to explain. “It’s for the use of large indus- trial customers. Here are the ink- eontainers for various meters.” He ran his hand over the tiny bottles. “Each dot lever-arm is actuated by an electro-magnet which is energized when a cam on the meter closes the electric circuit. The dot lever-arm is drawn down and prints & dot on a continuous roll of paper operated by €lock mechanism.” He glanced eagerly at the superin- tendent, but Taylor was not looking at him. His eyes were fixed on the meter. Philip wondered at the strange hos- tility of his gaze. Hadn’t he made the matter clear? Finally, Taylor looked over toward the window. “I'm very busy this morning,” he said impatiently. Philip straightened up. He felt hurt, almost affronted. “If T haven’t made it clear—" he said uncertainly. But Taylor looked uninterested, al- most bored. “It's too complicated. How can I ever keep count of those dots!” * ok * PK!L!P resented his t:ne more than his words. Even Taylor’s technical knowledge must have grasped the worth of the instrument. Something else—deeper down— Then suddenly the revelation came. He had just lifted up the model when His eyes were fized on the meter. ‘0 Taylor, leaning forward suddenly, ran a pudgy finger carefully over the | polished top of the desk. Philip drew a deep breath. All that Taylor had been thinking of was a probable scratch on his desk. Jean was wait- ing at the door when Philip came home. He smiled | cheerfully at her | over the package | he carried. “Didn't he take 12" she asked. | Her voice was | tense, almost hard. | For a moment Philip felt wretch- edly unhappy. | “No,” he said briefly, then he | | wetn into the house. | “Is dinner ready?” he asked. Jean flushed a dark red. Dinner | on top of this! | She went into the kitchen. Her | eyes were blurred with tears. She felt horribly disappointed—angry, too, at Philip for taking the matter so lightly. She heard him go into the storeroom. His voice drifted into the kitchen. “Where’s the hatchet?” “You took it down to the base- ment yesterday,” she answered. i *ox ok x SHE wondered what he wanted with | the hatchet. As he came up the | stairs she stepped out into the hall. | The dot-meter was under his arm. | Trembling, she followed him out of | the house. | “Philip Hostler, you don't mean to say you're going to break up that machine! Why, you can sell it to some one else or get it patented or | something!” | “Can’t be done! I work for the company. All I do belongs to it. Never mind, honey!” He put the machine down on the ground. Jean felt tears swell in her eyes. For two years he had worked on this—night after night—sometimes till 3 in the morning! “Don’t you want it?” A youngster | with fat, bare legs had come up and was looking at them. “No. Do you?” “Yes. Play train with it.” For a moment, Philip pondered over the boy’s distorted vision of the con- trivance. Then he spoke. “Take it!” He lifted up the machine and placed it on the outstretched arms of the child. He watched the boy stagger down the alley. “How could you!” said Jean re- proachfully. | Inarticulate by nature, he tried to | explain. | “It’s not as if I didn’t enjoy work- ing at it, for I did. Sometimes that counts more than the end itself, you khow.” | But Jean was looking after the sturdy legs that were bearing away the riches of unknown worlds. | “There go Assisi—Perugia—all the places we were to see—" she said bitterly. “Maybe.” | Jean looked at him in sharpened an- noyance. His voice sounded serious but in the eyes that watched the boy strutting in the distance lurked a smile—dreamy—inscrutable— (Copyright. 1936 ) TINY BABY DISPLAYED Girl Weighing Less Than 11§ Pounds Coney Island Attraction.

TO LANDON Socialist Tells Institute President Is More Alert to Human Needs. | By tre Asscciated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 17. —Norman Thomas, Socialist candi- date for the presidency, said today that President Roosevelt is “un- Questionably * * ® more progressive, more alert to the human problems of his time than Mr. Landon or the men | his liking. and forces who made the highly syn- thetic candidate, and can break him.” But, the Socialist speaker added, “what I have said of Mr. Roosevelt certainly cannot be said of such of his assoclates as Vice President Garner, Senator Robinson of Arkansas or Postmaster General Farley.” Thomas spoke before a round table session of the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Though finding the President more “progressive” than his Republican WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, opponents, Thomas found certain phases of Democratic policy not to “We quarrel,” he said, speaking for his party, “with this administration for the support its Ambassadors to Cuba have glven, in behalf of Ameri- can financial interests, to reaction and tyranny in that island. To a consider- able extent the results of the revolu- tion against Machado have been frus- trated with American help. We hope the Government—and certainly public opinion—will use influence against the ruthlessness of repression in Brazil.” Among the “flaws” Thomas found JULY 17, in the Roosevelt record as & progres- sive were: “The President’s failure, as the great leader of his party, to put through such vital measures as the pure food and drugs act and the Wag- ner housing bill. “The administration’s failure to use housing instead of made work to con= quer both unemployment and slums,” and “* ¢ ¢ the way in which the President and party are dodging the constitutional issue.” 1936.
