Reserve Bank, 1 per cent. 64 MIDGET RACE CAR MEET OPENED AT LAWTON'S Midget auto racing made its debut in Reno last night before 4 small crowd at the new speedway arena at Lawton springs, and while the initial performance was not up to advance notices, it was indicated that racing fans will see plenty of exciting speed duels before the meet is ended. The set-up at the track wasn't quite completed and this did not increase the interest. However, the speedway officials promise things will be beter this evening.

They re funded all money at the gate last night and promised all those who attended the opening will be admitted freethis evening. Drivers had trouble rounding the turns, with loose places in both ends of the track presenting hazards. Herk Edwards hit one of them and save the crowd a thrill bv crashing through the inside rail and damaging the oil pan on his car. On two other occasions during races the small cars struck loose dirt and went into spins. For a first night performance, the cars performed well.

The drivers bad difficulty adjusting their motors to the higher altitude after racing At sea level for several months. Car-buretion presented real difficulties and the racers were forced to keep their speed down somewhat on this account. The inside rail on the track also presented a real hazard. Officials explained that in the event a car struck the rail there was more than an even chance that the oil pan would cause the throttle to jam and eventually cause a crash, since it is impossible to cut the ignition at high speed. Most exciting race of the evening was the ten-lap main event, with all six cars entered.

Tony Dutro, driving car No. 6, won the race in a breath-taking finish over Paul Swedeburg in car No. 99. Dutro and Swedeburg made it a real race on the last three laps and Dutro took the rail on the ninth lap and was able to beat out Swedeburg's imisumg urive Duane Carter in car 15 edged out Herk Edwards in car No. 28 in a trophy race of two laps.

In other two lap races Dutro, Swedeburg and Allan Hunter in No. 68 were winners. Dutro also won the five lap feature race. SPORTS ROUNDUP by EDDIE BRIETZ NEW YORK. July 2.

SPEEDWAY With "Keep growing" boys and girls from Nevada's rural schools utilizing the summer vacation moths to keep and put themselves in good physical condition for the next school year, many other farm youngsters are following, the same practices.

The summer vacation period is designed for physical and mental rest and change to build up a surplus of good health to carry the boy and girl through another winter of school work, according to Mrs. Mary Stilwell Buol, assistant director for home economics, and nutrition specialist of the University of Nevada agricultural extension service. Sometimes, she says, children, freed from the regularity which school provides, fall into habits that defeat the constructive purpose of the vacation. Biggest dangers of the vacation period to a youngster's health, she says, are too many night parties, too little sleep, irregular meals, too many sweets, and too much violent exercise, either as work or as play. To get the most from their vacation period in terms of health, the Nevada rural child can well follow a few simple health principles.

"Live healthy, happy out-of-door lives with the largest possible amount of sunshine and fresh air," Mrs. Buol suggests. "Pay special attention to eating three regular meals a day of simple, wholesome food, especially fruit, vegetables, and milk. "Be sure of at least ten hours of sleep six nights a week." Lack of sleep, caused by too many parties, picnics, and other similar diversions, is the biggest danger, she states, to physical growth in children during the vacation period. Modification of the child's morning rising schedule often occurs during the summer vacation, and Mrs.

Buol believes this is a good thing, if it does not interfere with a substantial, wholesome breakfast. The summer vacation breakfast, she says, should be at least as large and as hearty as the winter breakfast because meals that are too light to provide energy for the increased physical activities of farm work, swimming, is another decided danger. "For the underweight boy or girl," Mrs. Buol states, "the summer vacation is an opportunity to gain weight and build up positive good health for the coming year." "To gain, steadily every week during vacation should be the first duty of all underweight children, and neither work, play, parties, or anything else should be allowed to interfere." "Seriously underweight children should watch carefully to see that their strength is not over-taxed by too much work or violent exercise, such as swimming, athletics, evening parties, etc. They need much extra sleep, a long afternoon nap, three regular meals and extra food between meals, such as milk or a sandwich but no sweets between meals." Wool Strike Grows Violent BOSTON, July 2.

UP) John V. Mahoney, secretary to F. Hurley, today summoned Boston wool merchants to a confere-ce after the first outbreak of violence in Boston seventeen-day-old wool market strike. Mahoney called the conference on the pleas of Richard Parkhurst, chairman of the Boston port authority, and John N. Levins, New England agent of the American-Hawaiian Line, in the hope of settling the strike which has paralyzed the country's largest wool market.

Coleman Conley of South B-ston was attacked and slugged as he tried to go to work. His alleged assailant was arrested. Wool handlers are seeking a closed shop. OGDEN LIVESTOCK OGDEN, July 2. (IP) (USDA) Hogs 100.

I Nevada's livestock ranges were In excellent condition on June 1. Precipitation during the last part of May freshened ranges which were becoming dry, and on the first of the month, their condition was ma terially better than a month before, as well as above the average of the last ten years for the first of June.

"A good growth of forage is developing, particularly on the higher range areas," Frank Andrews, senior agricultural statistician of the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics, which keeps the figures for the state, reported on June 1 to the University of Nevada agricultural extension service. "Farm pastures also showed con siderable improvement during the past month. The outlook as of June 1 is good to excellent.

Stock water is plentiful and there is sufficient top and sub-soil moisture to develop good feed on the summer ranges." The condition of cattle and calves and sheep and lambs on Nevada's ranges also improved considerably during the month of May, Andrews' report indicates. Cattle and calves, he stated, June 1, were generally in good flesh and should continue to gain with the development of the ranges. "The calf crop," he said, "is be lieved to be about normal. Reported losses during the winter have not been excessive in spite of the severe cold weather that came last January. Many of the cattle are now in the higher range areas where feed is reported good to excellent." Conditions for sheep during May in Nevada were favorable, according to the report.

"The period for shearing and lambing," Andrews said, "was later than usual this season in most instances and there were no serious storms during the month to endanger young lambs and newly shorn sheep. There were some heavy winter losses where it was impossible to properly care for them during inclement weather. In general, however, winter losses are believed to have been about normal. On June 1, conditions in the various livestock sections of the state were reported as follows: NORTHWEST Some improvement was shown in the condition of ranges in northwestern Nevada. Cattle and sheep are doing well at present.

NORTHEAST There is a considerable summer range area in this section. These summer ranges "are developing good forage and there is 1 a i geneiaiiy plenty 01 SLOCK water ana soil moisture. Ranges were reported eleven points better than they had been on May 1. Cattle and sheep showed a similar improvement. SOUTHERN Ranges showed improvement during May.

Sheep and cattle are in good flesh. There are excellent prospects for further development of ranges and livestock. MARRIAGE LICENSES SI MILLS-DU PONT Edward Thomas Mills, 25, and Eva J. Du Pont, 31, both of Reno. HARRIS CHRISTENSON Raymond Harris, over 21, and Marie Christenson, 32, both of Reno.

You can bet on it." Doyle climbed out of a transcontinental plane early this morn ing, posed for a cameraman with a straight-stemmed pipe, in his hand DO in Hie- kvm and' and a romantic said he knew of no confusion in the world's heavyweight boxing scene.

"It's all set, I tell you. I shall fight Joe Louis." Prodded for details, he said Mike Jacobs of New York would promote the affair. "It will be staged just before the Max Schmeling-Tommy Farr bout Say, will it cut in on that one." He laughed easily, took another puff and continued: "Louis will get 43 per cent of the gate; I'll get 32. And take it from me, we will draw $1,500,000. Yes, $1,500,000." A year ago Doyle couldn't get a fight in Los Angeles.

The promoters said he wouldn't draw a draft of air, and besides, he might get hurt. Then Doyle went to England and thrashed King Levinsky of Chicago who, incidentally, couldn't get another fight here, either. The Levinsky triumph apparently "made" Doyle an attraction there. Doyle said he came here to dispose of some property and to buy some. His most immediate acquisition will be his own baggage, which was held at the airport canary-colored coats and all for excess RACE MEET TO OPEN WESTBURY, N.

July 2. (IP) Thirty racing drivers, attracted from several countries by a $70,000 purse, will seek to gain tomorrow the George Vanderbilt Cup which Tazio Nuvolari, the Italian won last year with incredible ease. The final qualifiers for the three hundred-mile race on the improved Roosevelt raceway will not be known until late today. The thirty start ers will be chosen on the fastest times made in the qualifying tests. Performances of the foreigners in the trials have over-shadowed the Americans.

Wilbur Shaw, 1937 winner of the Indianapolis Memorial Day race, and Rex Mays, Californ-ian, stood out among the homebreds. A $60,000 purse will be split among the first ten finishers and an additional $10,000 will be divided among the leading Americans. The foreign entries have taken the headlines almost to the exclusion of the American drivers during the practice spins. Rosemeyer hit 161.411 miles an hour on the straightaway and Car-acciola, who drives for Mercedes, topped the qualifiers with 85.850 miles per' hour for a thirty-mile trial. Wilbur Shaw will drive the Ma-j serati that" Enzo Fiermonte, ex-'.

fighter and husband of Mrs). Madeline Force Astor Dick, has entered. Fiermonte had a slight crack-up at the raceway yesterday. He, with-1 drew and Shaw is getting the Ma-, serati in shape. Shaw has probably the best chance of any of the homegrown entries.
