EDcunmora EtaaiayoiHi' All Horse Players Die Drake CHAPTER of the saddest TT 7 EiLLu one ELL, one VV looking is a character bv the name Of Slow MrTnnl but he is a character who will usually give you a gamble and he is still taking Cara Mia at 1 and Unser Fritz walks up to him and whispers in his ear, and what iie wmspers is he wishes to know if Slow McCool cares to lay him a price on Cara Mia third. But all that happens is that Slow McCool stops looking sad a minute and looks slightly perplexed, and then he shakes his head and after we leave him I look back anrl coo that I Pete is standing up on his stool watching Unser Fritz, and still sndKing head. Well, Unser Fritz approaches maybe a dozen other sad looking bookmakers, and whispers to them, and all he gets is the old head shake, but none oi mem seem to become angry with Unser Fritz, and" I always say that this proves that bookmakers are better than some people think, because, personally, I claim they have a right to get angry with Unser Fritz for insult ing their intelligence, and trvintr io aeiraua xnem, too, by asking a price on cara xaia third. Finally, we come to a character by the name of Willie the Worrier, who is called by this name because he is always worrying about aumeimng, ana wnat he is gener any worrying about is a short bank roll, or his ever loving wife, aim sometimes both, though mostly it is his wife. Personally, I always figure she is something to worry about, at that, though I do not consider details necessary.

She is a reaneaaea Judy about half as old as Willie the Worrier, and this aione is enough to start any guy worrying, and what is more she is easily vexed, especially bv Wil lie. In fact, I remember Solly telling me that she is vexed with Willie no longer ago than about 11 m. this very day, and gives him a public reprimanding about something or other in the fete graph office 'downtown when Solly happens to be in there hop ing maybe he will receive an an swer from a mark in Pittsfield, that he sends. a tip on a horse. Solly says the last he hears Willie the Worrier's wife say is that she will leave him for good this time, but I just see her over on the clubhouse lawn wearing some right classy looking gar ments, so I judge she does not leave him as yet, as the clubhouse lawn is not a place to be waiting for a train.

Well, when Under Fritz sees that he is in front of Willie's stand, he starts to move on, and I nudge him and motion at Willie, and ask him if he does not notice that Willie is another bookmaker, and Unser Fritz says he notices him all right, but that he does not care to offer him any business, because Willie insults him ten years ago. He says Willie calls him a dirty old Dutch bum, and while I am thinking what a wonderful memory Unser Fritz has to remember insults from bookmak ers for ten years, Willie the Wor ner, sitting there on his stool looking out over the crowd, spots Unser Fritz and yells at him as follows: "Hellow, Dirty Dutch," he says: "How is the soap market? What are you looking for around here, Dirty Dutch? Santa Claus?" Places Bet Well, at this, Unser Fritz pushes his way through the crowd around Willie the Worrier's stand, and gets close to Willie, and says "Yes," he says, "I am looking for Santa Claus. I am looking for a show price on Number Two horse, but, he says, "I do not expect to get it from the shoemakers who are booking nowadays." Now the chances are Willie the Worrier figures Unser Fritz is just trying to get sarcastic with him for the benefit of the crowd around his stand in asking for such a thing a price on Cara Mia third, and in fact the idea of anybody asking a price third on a horse that some bookmakers will not accept any more on first, or even second, is so hu k.morous that many characters laugh right out loud. "All right," Wollie the Worrier says. "No one can ever, say he comes to my store looking for a market on any.

thing and is turned down. I will quote you a show price, Dirty Dutch," he says. "You Can have 1 to 100." This means that Willie the Worrier is asking Unser Fritz for one hundred dollars to the book's one dollar, if Unser Fritz wishes to bet on Cara Mia drop ping in these no worse than third, and of course Willie has no idea Unser Fritz or anybody else will ever take such a price, and the chances are if Willie is not sizzling a little at Unser Fritz, he will not offer such a price, because it sounds foolish. Furthermore, the chances are if Unser Fritz offers Willie a com paratively small bet at this price, such as may enable him to chisel just a couple of hundred out of Willie's book, Willie will find some excuse to wiggle off, but Unser Fritz leans over and says in a low voice to Willie the Wor rier: "A hundred thousand." Willie nods his head and turns to a clerk alongside him, and his voice is as low as Unser Fritz's as he says to the clerk: "A thou' sand to a hundred thousand, Cara Mia third." The clerk's eyes pop open and so does his mouth, but he does not say a word. He just writes something on a pad of paper in his hand, and Unser Fritz offers Wil lie the Worrier a package of thousand dollar bills, and says: "Here is twenty," he says.

"The rest is in the jug." "All right, Dutoh," Willie ays. HA1MISBURG SECOND SECTION Assembly Group Backs Expansion Of State Hospitals A committe of the General As sembly urged new construction at Pennsylvania 22 mental hospitals "at the earliest feasible time" in line with Governor James H. Duff's $80,000,000 expansion pro gram. The legislators, who inspected the institutions during the current session, reported that the institutions "without ex i are greatly overcrowded," and said: "The need for new construction is aparent and should be taken care of at the. earliest feasible time." The committee, headed by Chairman Jacob W.

Carr (R But ler) of the Senate Welfare Com mittee, and Chairman Furman H. Gyger (R Chester) of the House group, told the Legislature in their report, submitted last night, there is insufficient bed space for the 42,399 patients in the 22 hospitals. "However," said the report. "this is not the worst feature of overcrowding since in every in stitution there seems to be a dire need of day rooms wher patients for about 16 hours each day are crowded into entirely inadequate rooms." In specific recommendations the committee urged that "adequate and competent personnel should be obtained at the earliest" possible time available" with increased compensation where recommend ed by the management. Segregation of patients with communicable diseases was rec ommended.

particularly in respect to tuberculosis. State, school authorities, hospi' tal and other public welfare or ganizations, the report said, should consider a system of closer co od eration "to the end that discovery of mental illness may be made at the earliest possible time. Insufficient attention seems to have been given heretofore to clinical investigation and discov ery of new cases before they reached the incurable stage or the stage requiring long periods of time for cure." Postal Employes Assured Increase In Pension Plan Postal employes in the Harris ousrg area today had assurance from United States Senator William Langer, Republican, North Dakota, that liberalization of re' xirement annuities can be ex pected at the current session of Congress.

By a vote of 30 18 the Senate last night returned to death in committee a bill to set up an emergency rent control commission and authorize the Governor to appoint its members after the Federal Government drops its controls. "If rent controls are lifted by Congress I predict chaos and confusion in Pennsylvania," said Sen.

H. Jerome Jaspan, Democrat, Philadelphia, "I predict that we'll be called back into special session, at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, to enact a special rent control law if Federal regulations end." Sen. T. Newell Wood, Republican, Luzerne, sponsor of the emergency commission bill, joined two other Republicans in opposing to move to shunt his bill to committee. The others were Fras er Donlan, Lackawanna, and A.

Evans Kephart, Philadelphia.

"However, I believe that Congress will take care of the situation until sometime in 1948," Kephart added.
