It was a uni(|ue race because the best hor.se won and broke a track record and because the winner wa.s also the tavoiltc. It was tne billing rather than the beautiful spectacle that in terested the crowd. Without betting theie would be no horse races. Ken- tuckian.s are .still disputing how to pronounce the name of thi.s race. They always called it Dudby until the F.ng- li>h K.ar! of Derby visited the track last year. He pronounces it as if the second letter were “.A.” so half the spectators at the race used^the Eng lish pronunciation. .M((re interesting than the racing was a flight over the track by a young lady in an autogiro, which landed in the middle ot the f.e’d.

True, jsome of the rej-ublic.s. like Estonia, ‘ I^atvia, and little San Marino and An dorra are pntty small nations; An dorra has only 191 square miles, which is only two-thirds the area of New A’ork city, while San .Marino has only 38 square miles, just .1,280 acres larger than the standard M'estern county of 36 square miles. But there I are some tiny kingdoms, too. The smallest independent nation in the world, Monaco, is a monarchy consist ing of just one square mile or 640 acres! The principality of Liechten- ; stein has only 05 square miles and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg only 999. ‘*Reach for a LUCKY instead^* Nowl Pleosef — Actually put your finger oh your Adam’s Apple.

Europe is pn experiment station of democracy. None of the exisiting governments is universally satisfac tory; the speed with which the people change them indicates that. The only government in the world which has endured for more than 160 years with out materia] change of form is that of the United States of America.
