LIP TATTOO FOR RACE HORSES
Received Monday, 7.30 p.m. NEW YORK, Feb. 23. Thoroughbrcd racing associatious have unanimously approved the lip tattoo brand method of idcntifying racehorses and the tottooing of each thorouglibred will be required before it is permitted on the association 's tracks in 1948. Two year olds will be required to be tattooed by July 1 and older horses by April 1, 1948. The first tattooes were donc f'reehand but dies with needles protruding at oue end in the shape of a number, are now developed. The dies will be under the control of racing authorities and any attempts to falsify a number on a "ringer" will readily be dctected because it is impossible for the needle arraugement in thc dies to be duplicated.
