DERBY
I was one of fifty thousand people
who saw Twenty Grand win the Ken-
tucky Derby at Churchill DownB. It
was a unique race because the best
horse won and bruke a track record
and because the winner was also the
favorite. It was the betting rather
than the beautiful spectacle that in-
terested the crowd. Without betting
there would be no horse races. Ken-
tuckians are still disputing how to
pronounce the name of this race.
They always called it Durby until the
English Earl of Derby visited the
track last year. He pronounces it an
if the second letter were "A," so half
the spectators at the race used the
Engli-sh pronounciation.
More interesting than the racing
was a fight over the track by a young
lady in an autogiro, which landed in
the middle of the field.
KINGS
There are now more republics in
Europe than there are monarchies,
for the first time in history. Seven-
teen to fifteen is the exact proportion.
True, some of the republics, like Es-
tonia, latvia, and little San Marino
and Andorra are pretty small nations;
Andorra has only 1 1 square miles
which is only two-thirds the area of
New York ('ity, while San Marino
has only 38 square miles, just 1,280
acres larger than the standard westiin
county of 30 square miles. But then-
are some tiny kingdoms, too. The
smallest independent nation in the
world, Monaco, is a monarchy con-
sisting of just one square mile or
640 acres! Tht principality of Liech-
tenstein has only 65 square miles and
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg only
990.
All of these European republics
and many of the monarchies are trying
new and different systems of govern-
ment. Europe is an experiment sta-
tion of democracy. None of the ex-
isting governments is universally satin-
factory; the speed with which the
people change them indicates that.
The only government in the world
which has endured for more than 150
years without material change of
form is that of the United States of
Ameriea. We may not only like every-
thing about our own government, but
it seems to suit most of us pretty
well.

Research Council estimate, however,

The biggest task for farm cooper-
atives, says Chris L. Christensen.
secretary of the Federal Farm Board,
is finding the right men to manag-
them. The trouble here, as in other
fields f business, is that most nun
think they are iti«t as able as any
other man. "Men an- commanding :i

How to train BABY'S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with
any tendency to be constipated, would
thrive If they received daily, half a
teaspoodful of this old family doctor's
prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity To avoid
the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure
to gain, and other ills of constipated
babies.
Dr. Caldwell ' Syrup Pcnsin is good
for any baby. For this, you hai* thr word
of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of
practice taught him just what babies
need to keep their little bowels active,
regular; keep little bodies plump and
healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized
in the treatment of women and little
ones. He attended over 3.ri00 births with-
out loss of one mother or baby.
