800 GREYHOUNDS
IN KANSAS RACE
JACK RABBITS FAIL TO ENJOY
DOG SPEED CLASSIC. MANY
FAST DOGS ARE USED.
OSWEGO, Kan.—Eight hundred of
the world’s fleetest greyhounds—the
pride of England, Ireland and Ameri¬
ca, are participating in one thousand
races here during the meet of the Na¬
tional Soursing Association which be¬
gan Friday.
A thousand Kansas pack rabbits are
also participating. But to the rabbits
tbe race means more than winning a
share of the $16,000 purse. To them it
means racing for life or death.
It cannot he said, however, that the
jack rabbits—rated as they are in
Kansas as pests, with a bounty on
their heads—are not getting a sport¬
ing chance. They are trained for the
races almost as carefully as are the
hounds. And a “haven” is provided
for those who can get over the fif¬
teen hundred foot course with an
eighty-yard start before they are ov¬
ertaken by one of the fleet, lean grey
streaks.
Even those rabbtis which are over¬
taken woud have the satisfaction of
knowing, if they understood the ways
of the thoroughbred greyhound, that
they are not to be ignominously eat¬
en. Greyhounds are the dyed-in-the
wool sports their owners profess to
be. Once the rabbit is captured and
killed the greyhound has no further
interest in it. Sheer animal instinct
to demonstrate his superiority in the
chase is all that goads him on.
Although the rabbit chase is the
spectacular part of the event, the

object is not to aee how many
Jbe killed. The object is to at¬
the greatest fleetness in the
houiads on which the scores in the
races are based. However, if a hound
captures an exceptionally fast bunny
it is to the dog's advantage—or his
owner’s— in the final scoring.
You don't have to bet on a dog to
get a thrill out of seeing the hounds
strike out over the course in lightning
pursuit of a rabbit which has been
given a sporting chance for its life.
The races are run in pairs. A start¬
ing cage has been constructed to ac¬
commodate a large number of dogs
so that 100 races can be run off each
day. At the start a rabbit is placed
on the ground directly in front of the
cages in which the hounds are strain¬
ing.
There is no question about which
way the rabbit will run. He has been
schooled, night after night, by being
released on the race course and given
an opportunity to learn that the only
way put is the longest way—the
straight road down the course to the
tiny “haven” into which a dog cannot
follow.
When the rabbit has proceeded
eighty yards the starter—this year it
is Daniel P. O’Mahoney, direct from
county Cork, Ireland — “slips the
hounds” by a deft turn of the hand,
then the race is on.
Like a flash two lean hounds streak
down the course in pursuit of the fly¬
ing ball of fur. If the hounds are fleet
or the rabbits not too spry, the race
usually ends a few yards from the
safety haven. But if the rabbit is fleet
enough to make his escape he doesn't
have to play any more.
The dogs, on the other hand, go
back to their cages to await the next
race. Their life is not all dog biscuits
and milk by any means. They have
to be at the course days ahead of the
opening of the meet in order to learn
the course, become accustomed to the
soil, which greatly affects their speed,
and to get into condition. They are
fed sparingly by special dieticians to
prevent their becoming too sleek and
lazy.
Greyhound racing as a sport is
hundreds oF years old, but only in re¬
cent years has it begun to grow in
popularity in this country. The Os¬
wego meet, however, is declared to be
the largest coursing meet held any¬
where in the world, which should give
a small thrill of pride even to the Kan¬
sas jack rabbits.
Ask More Liberal
Treatment Of Vets
WASHINGTON, D. C—More liberal
treatment of disabled veterans and
enactment of a universal draft law
are among the principal recommenda¬
tions the American Legion will submit
to members of Congress.
John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman
of the National Legislative Commit¬
tee, announced yesterday the Legion’s
program also would include another
drive for enactment of a law permit¬
ting retirement of disabled emergency
officers, and would seek amendment to
the adjusted compensation as to clar¬
ify the provision requiring dependents
to make Tengthy and objectionable
affidavits.”
Among changes to be sought in the
present law relating to care of the
disabled, the legion will ask a rating
of permanent and total disability for
active tubercular patients and of fifty
per cent disablity for arrested tuber¬
cular patients; a rating of permanent
and total disability for men who have
been rated temporary and total for
twelve months and who are still rated
so; extension of period for insurance
conversion; creation of a permanent
medical corps in the veterans bureau
and removal of limiting dates on re¬
habilitation.
The universal draft bill sponsored
in the legislative program would give
the President authority to take steps
to stabilize prices of commodities, to
draft into service all persons between
the age of 21 and 80 years, and to
proclaim the material resources and
industrial organizations of the coun¬
ty under government control during
the emergency.
15-Year-Old Sultan
Formally Installed
TETUAN, Spanish Morocco.—A 15
year-old boy Sunday was installed as
khalifa, or sultan, of the Spanish pro¬
tectorate in Morocco, i He is Sheriff
Muley Hassan-Ben-el-Ehdi and his
word will mean law, as far as it con¬
cerns native, civil affairs.
It occurred with great ceremony.
It was held in the great mosque in
the presence of General Primo de
Rivera, head of the military director¬
ate in Spain, and his staff, Alexander
P. Moore, the American ambassador
to Spain; Major Hodges, military at¬
tache of the embassy in Madrid, and
numerous Mussalman dignitaries. Na
tice troops lined the route over which
the new khalifa went to the mosque
and back.
HIS SHOES HEAVIER
THAN WIFE’S OUTFIT
GERMAN SCIENTIST WONDERS
WHY WIMEN DO'NOT
FREEZE TO DEATH.
On one of the warmer days of the
summer that has now departed a dis¬
tinguished German doctor (so the
Observer’s Berlin correspondent tells
us) took it into his head to have
weighed the clothes that were then
being worn by his assistant and the
wife of his assistant, says the Man¬
chester Guardian.
Expressed in English terms, the
woman’s entire outfit, from hat to
shoes, weighed less than a pound and
three-quarters and the man’s (even
without a waistcoat) seven and a
quarter pounds.
The man's shoes alone weighed
nearly as much as his wife’s whole
outfit, hjs socks more than all her un¬
derwear (ekeluding stockings and cor¬

set), and his shirt was more than
twice the weight of her dress.
There is not much doubt about who
was the more sensibly dressed for hot
weather, but the contrast raises a
most baffling problem.
Why is it that two creatures of the
game species can wear such different
amounts of clothing in the same tem¬
peratures.
In the depth of winter, any woman
even when she has made herself quite
warm enough to be comfortable is
still much more lightly clad than the
vast majority of men. And it is no
use saying that women suffer for their
imprudence, for they obviously do
not.
What used to be called the “pneu¬
monia blous” may have been the be¬
ginning of a good many things, but it
was not the beginning of pneumonia.
The German authority who made
this interesting experiment admits
that readily enough, for he plainly
thinks that unless man regards him¬
self as more of a warm-blooded mam¬
mal and less of a reptile he will pay
for the burden of clothing with which
he impedes himself. What woman has
done out of vanity, declares this Ger¬
man doctor impartially, man will have
to do out of regards for the laws of
hygiene “unless he wishes to be hope¬
lessly outclassed in the race for physi¬
cal fitness.”
Certainly, it might be argued that
the less woman wears the more large¬
ly she counts in the world and the
more impatient she is of dependence
on man.
If this later importance and self
confidence is the result of physical
fitness we seem to be launched on a
new phase of that famous “duel of
sex” with man compelled to undress
himself in order to redress the bal¬
ance of power.
But when man has lightened a little
of his overwhelming cargo what will
be woman’s reply? She has not very
much canvas to spare as it is, and the
thought of any retaliatory reduction
in it would raise problems that are
connected more with modesty than hy¬
giene, as indeed, it may be said, are
already some of the problems she
raises.
