47 On and after July 1, wagering on the result of horse races at licensed race tracks in Illinois, will be legal and the state receives a revenue from the operation of such licensed race tracks, in accordance with the proviâ€" sions of an act, passed by the 55th General Assembly. ~ ‘This law provides that the director of agriculture shall issue licenses to tracks that fulfill certain requireâ€" ments, and places upon that official, the task of administering the law. In order to acquaint the public with the provisions of this law, andâ€"its enâ€" forcement, S. J. Stindard, director of agriculture, issues the following statement:, ie 3 Not At Fatrs _ _ . _ "Contrary to the apparent opinion of some people, this law has no reâ€" lation to the races conducted at counâ€" ty or other agricultural fairs, includâ€" ing the state fair. It does not legalâ€" ize dog racing, or wagering on any races other than at the tracks for which licneses are issued. "In accordance with the law, it is necessary for an organization that proposes to race under its provisions to make application ten days prior to the first day of the racing meetâ€" ing. As the law becomes effective July 1, the day for filing applications was June 20. On that day, two clubs made application. "The Lincoln Fields Jockey club, operating a track near Chicago, proâ€" poses to hold races from July 2, to August 13. Excluding Sundays, as the law forbids Sunday racing, they will have 37 racing days. The license fee for any track within 25 miles of a city Of more than 500,000 populaâ€" tion, is $2,500 per day. The Lincoln club tendered a certified check for the sum of $92,500.00. Are Deposited "These payments total $100,000 in license fees, and were tendered to me and deposited in the State Treasury June 20. : "In addition to this payment of $2,â€" 500 per day, (or $1,500 per day for tracksâ€" that are more than 25 miles from cities exceeding 500,000 in popuâ€" lation) all licensed tracks must pay the state 20 cents for each paid adâ€" mission ticket. Requires Bond "In order to insure the payment of the fees the law exacts, the act proâ€" vides that the racing organizations seeking licenses, file a bond, not to exceed $50,000. The strongest insurâ€" ance the law provides against non-‘ payment of these funds, is the mxi-‘ mum bond of $50,000. ‘The amount of this bond will not be prorated in accordance with the number of days the tracks propose to operate. It is $50,000â€"theâ€"highest amount the law allows me ‘to exactâ€"whether the meeting is for fiftyâ€"one days, or for one day only. Lincoln Fields put up westefh are alotie a $50,000 bond to race 37 days. Fairâ€" mont, for three days‘ races, filed a bond for the same amount. ~ "All the protection this law proâ€" vides, will be given the public and the state if it is humanly possible to "Regardless of what anyone may think of legalized wagering on horse races, the law allows it, under state supervision.

MANY WOMEN SEEN AMONG CREDIT MEN AT ANNUAL CONVENTION Notable Feature of This Year‘s An unusual phase of the thirty-l second annual meeting of the Nationâ€" al Association of Creditâ€" Men, who gathered recently at Louisville, Ky., from all parts of the country was the increased number of women credit executives, members of the associaâ€" tion, who took active part. Because of the growing number of women enâ€" tering this profession the proposal was mentioned at the convention that the association may eventually, and appropriately, amend its title. So many, women delegates came that a special breakfast was served for them, presided over by Miss L. M. Guth, chairman of the women‘s committee, eastern division, at which were discussed credit problems afâ€" fecting the special interests which the women executives frequently handle. Addressing the conference of Robâ€" ert Morris Associates, an organizaâ€" tion of financial credit men, Dr. Irvâ€" ing Fisher of Yale university, held the fluetuating purchasing power of the dollar to be a handicap to the wellâ€"being of American business. Judge John C. Know of the Southâ€" ern Federal District of New York, talking on "Credit Protection from a Judicial Standpoint," asked credit men, and business men generally, to come to court and serve as jurors, in order to improve the standard of juries and to do justice to both govâ€" ernment and defendant. Such coâ€" operation will result in fairer adminâ€" istration of justice and an improved method of handling cases involving business practices, he said. Fifty per cent of the estimated $42,000,000 in retail sales during 1926 were credit sales, J. E. Hewitt of Baltimore, viceâ€"president of the Reâ€" tail Creditmen‘s asSociation, said.

PURCHASED IN NEW YORK An early sixteenth century ed for the Detroit Museum of Art by Dr. W. R. Valentiner, director of the museum, it has just been learned. The painting is a panel 9% by 13% inches representing the Aununâ€" ciation and its authenticity has been vouched for by .competent erities, acâ€" cording to information given out at the Van Dieman Galleries, where the picture was purchased for about $50, Gerard David was one of the last of the great masters of the famous school of early Netherlands painters who devoted himself to religious subâ€" jects. Many of these pictures were destroyed in the sixteenth century, which increases the value of those being discovered at the present time. ~ While Dr. Valentiner was traveling in Europe looking for desirable addiâ€" tions to the Detroit Museum, a photoâ€" graph of this panel was shown to him by Dr. Edouard Plaietzsch of Berlin. When he . learned: that the original had been shipped to the New York office of Van Dieman & Co., Inc., Dr. Valentiner immediately sent a cable dispatch to them instructing that they hold the painting for him. Early in May he inspected the picture and bought it, taking it to Detroit, with a Rembrandt, which be purchasâ€" ed from M.
