Coupons to mean Better Clothes

‘LONDON’. Aug. 10 —Fashionabie Savile Row, where England's men cf property, wealth and title, buy their clothes, is far from depress- ed by the introduction of clothes rationing, believing that if a. man has to reduce the number of his suits he'll choose the best quality cloth for those he buys.

Belief that men's clothes will be- come shabbler and shinier because of rationing is not held along the "Row." Instead, say the tailors, ihe British will be wearing finer clothes than they've worn before. hoping they'll last longer, thus saving prec- ious coupons.

“When the announcement of rat- ioning was made to us. we were told a battle-stained dress gave honor to the soldier and the civil- ian must be educated to become proud of being shabby," said the editor of a tailor‘: publication. He doesn't hold with this idea, however, thinking it unlikely that rationing will suppress the strain of vanity in men.

"Under a shiny coat," he said. "with greasy collar, frayed sleeves and spotted and stained with food or drink, pride gets a Jolt and is likely to suffer a fall on meeting the stare, undisguised in meaning. o: a. friend.

"Today's cut in men's clothes is slick. 'I\:e only alternative I see possible is a run on ccrdurvy (de- manding fewer coupons than any other cloth), which is. durable and hard wearing material."

Many Iondoners believe that now that suits are to be scarcer, the old fashioned clothes- morninif w“ ‘m; gtriped yusers —brought from the cupboard only for wed- dings or important gatherings, may find a place in the wardrobe afllfll- one thing, however. is certain. The well-dressed Enilliilml" "l" take more care than ever to kfieli his clothes in good condition and if the tailor becomes poor for Wont c! customers he can turn for aid to his much maligned cousin —-thc valet servicemen whose business seems sun to prom"-

TNova will be On offensive Against Louis

NEW YORK, Aug. 11—(AP)—- lou Nova came out from behind the weed patch he's grown on hi: chin in the Maine woods. and an- nounced himself ready today to deliver his message.

This he said, was that yogi. cosmic punch and all other truck to the contrary notwithstanding, you can bet that Iou Nova won't be think- i of defence t ‘ s like the other challengers when he says howdy to Jce Louis in the Yankee stadiums ring the night of Sept.

l9.

"Now that I've shaved my beard off." he explained over the tele- phone. "it. won't get in my way when I talk. And I want you to understand this before I get to town tomorrow: All the other guys who met Louis were thinking of defence first. Conn believed his speed could do it; Godoy, Galento, and some of time others had an idea their awkward styles would keep them out of trouble. You know what happened to them.

“Well, little L:u'e is think'ng only of offence, I'm going to walk right into Louis and beat him by punching him."

THE CH AR LOTTETOWN

Classes To

The big Fair and four days rac- ing program sw into action t:- day and all that is needed to make this season's program a real out- standing success is co-operation from the weatherman; and it lcoks as if this is going to be forthcom- ing. Yesterday looked anything but favorable but by noon all the dark clauds had been chased away and yesterday afternoon the rack track presented a thrilling sight as horses received their final tuneups and visitors from the Maritimes and many from the United States thrcnged around the stables while still others hung over the rails watching the trotters and pacers whirl by in fast workout miles.

The entire plant glistening in new paint. and clean as a whistle; the nigh wire artists erecting their rigging; Bill Lynch's midway get- tin ready to hand out fun and fraic and trainers checking over last minuto needs for their horses all caught the eye as the big fair made final preparations to swing into action. And it will be action for every minute of the four days that it lasts. Arrangements are such that it can't help but be suc- cessful and for the nex-t four days

Today's Racing Programme

Four classes are on the card for today with the Three Year Old Fu- turity Trot, the Three Year Old Futurity Pace, the 2.12 trot and pace and 2.22 Trot being raced. All four classes are expected to pro- vide racing lovers with some of the most sensational first day's racing ever witnessed hem and it will mt be surprising if upsets will be frequent wth exceptionally fast times being made, The track is iighltnin fast and will receive its final doling up before today's races get underway.

Three Year Old Futurity Trot: Five baby trotters will answer the starters bell in this race and the colts are expected to chalk up very fast times due to the form they have been showing in workouts. Dorothy Abbelle, Abbe Jackson, Lusty's First, Kelly's Nightmare and Miss Brewer will ctme to the wire and just try and pick a win- ner in this bunch. Many like the chances of Lusty's First, Charlie Chandler's horse but there are Just as many who like the chances of others in the race. This race should be a thriller and it would not. be surprising if it would take an ex- tra heat to decide the winner. Three Year Old Futurity Pace: Here is a race that may well prove the most exciting of the meet, fea- turing five beautiful pawrs in Raymond Budlong. Bonnie Bud- long, Hilda Budlcriz. Jack Clyde and Wait N'See. As the come the

Now just throw away that ticker“ horses pitte against him have all

been only inches behind in other races this season and it may turn out that they may like this track a whole lot better than the ones they have been racing over. All the horses entered have been miles better than .20 with Raymond Bud- long goin-g one in 2.15 and the con- sensus of opinion yesterday seem-

‘ed to be that Raymond Budlong would have to even better that mark if he is to be returned the winner.

2:12 TROT and Pace: This one should really be sensational with six very fast pacers taking the ward. Again it. appears lzkely that All Grattan, undefeated this season would come to the wire the fav- orite but he has plenty of stiff competition facing him in Aaron L... a great favorite here. Dudey Patch who caused such. an upset last year, the fast pacing Joe Direct. the equally fast Sully and the old campaigner Signal Sen- ator. It is very seldom that a.field such as this s gotten together in one class and here again is when- the unexpected can very easily happen, Aaron L., always very fast over this track will have to be reckoned with and reckoned with strongly before the picking of any winner; while the other horses, if right at themselves are very apt to show to the front as the fast field pounds under the wire.

2:22 Trot and Pace: A field of trotters is always a beautiful sight to any horso lover as they swing in- to the home stretch and this class will be no exception. Six evenly matched trottor; will fight it out in this race and the outcome is a tossup. Everyone of the six iliave an equal chance of racin off with the honors as Ethel Be ini, Little Iibx, Darkey Kalmuck, Hui Boojuni. Ruby Vclo and Scotty Watson start matching strides Many and varied were the opinions heard on the outcome of this race at the track terday so if ycu are in the least bit doubtful come out tomor- row see the result unfold be- fore your eyes.

Today's raci

program is one of the best if not he best ever offer- ed on opening day. It contains good fields, a world of speed and‘ should produce breathless, blanket finishes that will take the big crowd to their feet time and again and produce thrills that only the "Sport of Kings" can,

Vaudeville

The vaudeville rogram, rated by critics as the bes ever to come here, will also be witnessed during the afternconb racing program. Yesterday the writer watched the trtists getting their rigging in place and if you like death-defying acts

performed at dizzy heights come out and see thfse high wire per- formers at work. I Navy wins I A
