DERBY IS A "SWELL CIRCUS" TO HIM

Bing's Brother

In England

EVERETT CROSBY, brother

and manager of Crooner Bing Crosby and secretary-treasurer of Bing's private £200.000 race- course, looked out over the teem- ing.downs from Epsom grand stand, wiped his brow in the blazing sun, and opined:

'It's a swell cireus,, but not my Iden of a day at the races," Mr. Crosby had taken his young blonde opera ainger wife as typically American as himself to "get the low-down on this Derby buslicas."

It was his first visit to an English | race-meeting, and though his porting shot was "thanks for the memory" the experlenco decided him to post- pone further race-going until li return to the tracks back home,

"Seems more like a circus to me,” he said, as he gazed over the crowded buses on the rails to the swings and roundabouts in full play.

What amazed the American more thon anything was the enormous crowd.

"You wouldn't get all this number at a baseball game," he mused, "and yet half the folks here, haven't a chance of seeing a horse, let alone a rnce,

"At Bing's track at Del Mar, 100 miles from Hollywood, we call 20,000 a good crowd. For the Santa Anita Handicap--biggest money race in the Slates we get up to 30,000.

"But everyone enn see every inch of every race. Why, you wouldn't get anyone in Hollywood to pay a

dime to see racing under the cond!- 1lons in the infield here."

WOMAN, RECOVERS HER WAIST-LINE

After Being Burdened

With Fat

Burdened with excess fat and crippled by rheumatism and gout, no wonder this woman felt that life was not worth living. She tried nearly everything-then one day she began taking Kruschen Salts, and relief came at once. 'Now she is free from pain, and once more has a waist-line. Read her own words:

"Up to six months ago, I was a cripple from rheumatism and gout and I weighed fourteen slonė. I felt life was not worth living until one day, after I had tried nearly every other remedy without results, I tried Kruschen Salts. I at once got rellet. I have now a walst-line, and am free from that dreaded vampire rlicum- allsın. I must say Kruschen is won- derful and am telling all my friends. about it."—(Mrs.) E.V.

The six salia in Kruschen assist the internal organs to perform their functions properly-to throw off each [day the wastage and poisons that encumber the system. Then, little by little, that ugly fat goes-slowly, yes-but surely.

He was more than ever determined that English racegoers "don't get the deal they should" after his efforts to watch the Derby itself.

Twenty-seven gees in one race!" he exclalined; we never have more than 10 runners in the biggest race, usually not more than 14. Why, if we had 27 win-mad jockeys mudding 11 together for ten per cent, of the prize money-as they do things in the States heaven knows how the race would end."
