For the third time within a year,
the Royal Duo, a crack roller skat-

enthrall the customers at the La
Paree. This, as Marie Fowler
points out, breaks a precedent.
The fact that the Royal Duo
haven't broken their respective
necks on each of those three La
Paree appearances, seems to us
more of a precedent-breaking thing
than the number Of their appear

1t was the scant half-hour we

who wandered into cooled estab-

An example of progress is Of

DOGDOM

THERE are many things one can do
to promote the comfort of ones
dog in hot weather. Most Of them
cost little or nothing. One of the
simplest methods of providing arti-
fetal shade for a dog Is to put his
kennel up on stills or blocks. which
will allow the dog to crawl under 1t
and burrow in the cool earth.
Fresh, cool drinking water Is easily
provided by allowing the garden
spigot to drip very slowly into the
dogs water dish This may be q
little wasterful of water, but is pro-
ductive of much Joy for the dog If he
is the kind that likes to puddle in
water.
Some pups, like most kids. would
rather play in water than eat. A
weekly dip in some antiseptic solu-
ton is fine for the coat, helps keep of
heas and ticks, and Is an aid in
maintaining q healthy skin. Recon-
mended dips are Creso-dip, Creolin,
Lysol and Sulphur dip, when used
according to directions. The dog
should be completely immersed and
then allowed TO shake himself dry,
not dried artificially.

SPORT PUT ABOVE
POLITICAL ISSUES.
Russia, Lithuania Are Only
Continental Nations Not
Readying for Games.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ ERLIN. - Neither recurrent
- crises in Europe's diplomatic
affairs, nor organized and
- sometimes violent opposition
by labor and pro-Jewish elements in
several countries, have yet seriously
threatened the success of the 1886
Olympic Games in Berlin. A general
feeling has grown up throughout
Europe that the Olympics are some
thing apart; that only catastrophe
can interfere.
A survey by the Associated Press
shows that every European nation, ex-
cepting Russia and Lithuania, is train
ing athletes and laying financial plans
of some sort to participate in the great
August carnival of youth and agility.
The Soviet never had any intention
Of competing; nor was Russia invited.
The games, so far as Stains govern
ment is concerned, are bourgeois in
stitution, and, therefore, out. Lithuania
has decided it cannot afford to COM
pete, but is sending delegation Of
observers"
Only two other members OF the
European cauldron are on the doubtful
list at this time-Spain and France
and both are likely to be there on the
afternoon of August l, when Chancel-
lor Adolph Hitler leads the grand
parade into the stadium and the
Olympic fire is ignited It's all up to
the diplomats. There is not-as might
be expected-any important opposition
among the rank and file of the French
people.

Sweden Nearly Out.

STRANGELY enough, the hottest
~ anti-Olympic campaign has been
waged up North, in Sweden, Norway
and Denmark, but now all three appear
to be safely in the fold, much to the
relief of German Olympic officials. Fol-
a time it was touch-and-go, partic-
ularly in Sweden, where organized
labor came within an ace of having an
official Olympic boycott declared.
An interesting sidelight is the fact
that Norway, winner of the recent
Winter OlympicS at Garmisch, came
near passing up the Summer games.
''If we make a bad showing at Ber-
lin, the world will forget completely
our brilliant record at Garmisch, -
was the serious argument of one die
hard.
Holland, its Olympic Golfers already
groaning from private contributions,
its woman swimmers expecting to
sweep the tanks, probably is the most
enthusiastic nation of the lot.
Germany, as you might have sus-
pected, is in line The fatherland will
have between 400 and 500 competitors
in its own games.
While Great Britain will definitely
enter the Olympic games, Evan Hun
ter, head Of the British committee,
doesn't know yet whether he'll be
able to ship $50 athletes to Germany
or $50. He hopes to send at least 200.

RULE CURB FOR HOCKEY PILOTS NOW PROPOSED
Ross, Recent Offender,
 Backs Request By Adams of Boston Bruins

Boston, Dec. 2l - (U.P.) = New legislation regarding conduct of managers during Q game has been proposed to President Frank Calder of the National Hockey League by President Weston w. Adams and Manager Art Ross of the Boston Bruins.
 The Bruins officials have suggest ed a rule that would result not only in . fine for the manager, coach or any other club official going on the ice during a game, but 6 minor or major penalty on member of the offending managers team.
 Adams said the leagues board of governors would have to determine If tn penalty should be minor or major. Under the proposed new rule. any member of the team, ex- cept the goalie. would be penalized for his managers offense.
 The proposal came only three days after Ross himself went on the ice during the game with the New York Americans here to protest an interpretation of the rules that gave Eddie Shore of the Bruins a minor penalty for a minor infrac- tion after the referees whistle had blown. Ross contended Shore should have drawn g 10-minute miscon- duct penalty. It was understood Calder upheld Ross interpretation.

West Haven Red Devils Win 29-27 Game;- Face
 Endees, H. of David

Jake's West Haven Red Devils took the lead in the semi-pro bask- etball supremacy of the state, win ming their seventh straight game and capturing the series from the local Knights of Lithuania Speed- boys here last Saturday night. However, it took the veteran Her kie" Rubenstein to work beautiful sleeper" play on Lou Jasilunas to score a field goal underneath the hoop in the final minute to play to give the Red Devils 29 to 27 ver- dict. The game was Tnarred by poor foul shooting on the part of both teams, and cratic long distance shooting by the local Knights of Lithuania array. The Knights made but seven fouls out of 16 tries, while the Greater New Haven champs scored five points 0nt of 16 ate tempts. The Knights had the lead at the end of the first period, 7-5, and at the close of third period 22 to 20. but the Red Devils overcame the lead each time, proving too strong for the locals.
 It was again Joe Boleys great individual shooting, by garnering IA of the losers points, and the re- liable Harry Hueys great floor work provided the bright features for the Lith club, while Collins, Naimo. Hyer and Rubenstein starred for the New Haven champs.
