Gum-Chewing Jocks Barred at Gulfstream

Jockeys who chew gum are poor riding risks! Authority for this statement is the prominent race track starter, Bryan Steele, recently appointed to send the fields away from the united starting gate at Gulfstream Park during the winter racing season, Dec. 1 through Jan. 15. "I have one inflexible rule; jockeys must spit out their gum before reaching the barrier," Steele explained his stand. "In the excitement of the start many riders have choked on their wads of gum, causing them to actually black out and fall. Gulfstream Park will have no such accidents during the coming meeting." It's no easy task sending fields of spirited thoroughbreds on their way, what with gum-chawin' riders and fractious animals, but Bryan Steele has been faring well at his unusual trade ever since 1914 when he first joined the Clan of Gallop. It was two years later he sent his first fields away from the old-fashioned webbing, strands of heavy rubber stretched rigidly across the turf, but his most important experience came as head ground man for Mars Cassidy when that master starter was shootin' 'em away over the New York tracks. "As ground man I think every bone in my body was broken at one time or another," Steele said at Gulfstream Park where he will start schooling activity within a few days. "My back was twice broken, my shoulder blades were fractured, both legs were broken and my ribs have been cracked as often as some people crack peanuts. Perched up on the starting pagoda, watching my assistants wrestle with bad actors, is lots safer—yet more nerve-wracking than on the ground. I must watch every move of horse and rider, making sure both are ready for the start; note whether their heads are up, and whether horses are resting against the padded stall or sitting on the rear gate—any number of irritations which might easily spoil a perfect start." Time and patience . . . these are the major attributes of a starter, according to Steele. "Don't rush the horses or permit them to stand too long in the gate—either way the start can be ruined—and there's nothing to discourage a fan so much as watching his two dollar bet dawdling in the barrier while other horses are speeding on their way." Bryan is quite enthusiastic over the new United Gate which will be in use throughout the 40-day Gulfstream Park meeting. "Of the greatest value to the starter is the new and strong magnet," he said. "I have seen some gates which seemed to open when a horse so much as blew on them. The improved magnet keeps gates securely locked against the most fractious thoroughbred, opening only when the starter releases the magnetic control."

Hursts Reopen Gables Home

Mrs. Carlton B. Hurst and her son, Carlton S. Hurst, have taken up residence at their Coral Gables home, 920 Coral Way, after a four-month stay in the North. Greater portion of their vacation was spent at Mrs. Hurst's Summer lodge in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. From there they made flying trips to New York City to see the shows and to Washington, D. C., to renew ties formed during Mr. Hurst's 30 years' service with the United States State Department. He retired last year from his post with the foreign service of the diplomatic corps.

HE COULD WAIT

Bill Brawley, the strong man of the village, met a little traveling salesman in the local inn. During their conversation, Bill called the salesman a dope. The little fellow naturally resented the remark. "Look here, Brawley," he said, "I'll give you just two minutes to take that back." Brawley swelled out his chest and said; "I ain't in no apologizin' mood tonight!" "Okay, then," said the little salesman, "I'll extend the time."

ON A HATRACK

"Oh, nothing complicated," answered Mussert. "If the Allies win, I will put on my coat and hat and go away." "I see," said the patriot. "But what will you put your hat on?"

Cholera Outbreak Said Unlikely In United States

By DOROTHY WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UP) The U. S. Public Health Service is confident there is little likelihood of a cholera outbreak in this country similar to the epidemic in Egypt. For one thing, the government has erected too many safeguards and precautions. Dr. Gilbert L. Dunnahoo, chief of the public health service's foreign quarantine division, says that the last case of cholera in the United States was reported July 20, 1911, when an Italian woman in Boston died of this ailment. Origin a Mystery How she contracted the disease in a country which has been free from cholera fo ryears is still a mystery. It was believed she may have visited an Italian vessel which had aboard a cholera victim since there had been an epidemic in Italy that summer. Now the public health service—as it has for years—examines all sea and air travelers from cholera areas. It also requires all persons to show proof of vaccination against cholera before leaving the infected region. Flies Are Carriers The malady attacks the intestinal tract and, like typhoid fever, is contracted through infected food and water. Flies spread the disease. A precaution, aimed at destroying all possible disease carriers, is the required spraying of the interiors of all airplanes entering the United States with a special mixture of pyrethrum and DDT. Even if a cholera case should get through these barriers, Dunnahoo believes American public health measures would isolate it quickly. The United States, as are other nations, is lending its help to Egypt in fighting the present outbreak. Large amounts of vaccine have been flown to Egypt to rid the suffering. Already the disease has claimed thousands of lives. The cure for disloyalty is giving men something big enough to be loyal to.
