Joe McCLUSKEY, the former Ford
ham ace, ran true to form as he
won the 2mile run in 9:l82, starting
from scratch in a handicap field of
26. He let his rivals wear themselves
down in the first mile, then began
moving up from seventeenth place.
Frank Crowley, the other scratch run
ner, delayed his bid until McClus-
key had moved into fourth place and
couldn't keep pace as McCluskey
caught William Spence of Paterson,
N. j.. in the stretch and won by
II yards. Spence. who led most of
the way, finished second, with Eugene
Nelley of Manhattan third.
Two good performances and one
unexpected feat turned up in the

leap of 6 feet inches, scoring an
unexpected victory over George Spitz,
the former New York University ace.

Two-Year Test Needed.


GIT WOULD take two years any
way for us to get the most out
of our racing cars with ordinary gaso-
line" Meyer said, 'but think we
could do it. I would like to see the
speedway remove the limitation on
gasoline for two years and make us
use the commercial brand.
Then, after two races, it would
be all right to limit the amount of
fuel again."
Meyer was not bothered with gaso-
line worries in the race here May 80.
He had more than three gallons left
after driving 500 miles at 100000
miles per hour for a new record. Sew
eral drivers were forced out of the
speed classic when their fuel supply
gave out in the last so miles.

BY r. r. TAYNTON.

- UMMER vacation time to most
youngsters means dog time
Although dogs may be part of
- his daily life the year round,
it is in the long. lazy Summer days
that the boy really learns to live
with his dog. It is then the two
become one entity and the presence
of one is the signal for the instant
appearance of the other. No trip
to the woods, no secret conclave of
a neighborhood clan. no game of
corner lot base ball Is complete with
out its mascot.
Pity the child who has no dog in
the Summer time! Every stray mon
grel is coaxed into temporary ac-
ceptance of a home. Whole days
are spent in planning ways and
means to change the stern parental
noes" Expeditions are made to
nearby pounds and pennies are saved
to redeem the unfortunate inmates
all for the sake of a dag, any dog,
Just so it has warm, brown eyes, a
MOST, pink tongue and tail, how
ever short, to accent the pleasures
of companionship.
NEARBY Virginia rapidly is be-
coming the mecca for those who
seek the unusual and the distin-
guished in the way of dogs. Within
IS miles of the city may be found
those giants Of the canine race, Irish
wolfhounds, and that most unusual
toy. the French papillon.
And in sizes in between there are
representatives from the ancient
Oriental aristocracy, the Afghan
hound, the fighting Kerry blue ter
rier, the lamb-hke Bedlington terrier
and the literary Dandie Dinmont ter
rier, as well as the diminutive Shet-
land sheep dog and the hairy Old
English sheep dog.
HIGH in the ranks Of popularity
i l. since the first issue of the stud
book in 1885, stands the beagle. At
that time, as now, he ranked fifth In
number of registrations.
The reason for his popularity is not
hard to find. The sporting gentry
find him an unexcelled hound for
small game The farmer and back
woodsman utilize his prowess at rabbit
hunting to fill the pot. The city
dweller loves his compact size, his
speaking eyes, his cleanly ways and
affectionate disposition.
He is the epitome Of my dawg."
FOR the third consecutive month
= the cocker spaniel has held first
place in number of registrations in
the American Kennel Club, while the
Boston terrier has moved back to sec
ond place. The Scottish terrier has
ousted the wire-hair terrier out of
third place, and 1t takes both wire and
smooth combined to hold fourth place.

THE Old Dominion Kennel Club may
claim honors as one of the most
active clubs in the country. While
most kennel associations hold only one
show a year, the Old Dominion Club
proceeds on the theory that a lot of
little ones is better than one big one.
Its latest venture is an outdoor
puppy match. This is to take place
June 20 at Strathmeade. the home of
the White Front Saddle and Hunt
Club. This is on the Lee Highway. 2
miles west of Falls Church. Puppies
Of all breeds and all ages under
year are eligible to compete for the
handsome ribbons and trophies. En-
tries will be taken at the show grounds
until 1880 pm. the day of the show.
A special feature will be made of
the children's handling classes. Pure
bred dogs, not necessarily owned by
the children exhibiting them, will be
shown in two classes, by children from
S to 10 years and from IL to is years.
There will be prize for every child
exhibitor.

BONTHRON BEATEN
IN n. Y. A. c. MEET
Record Miller Says Race in
Three Quarters Was Only
Training Effort.
Ry the Associated Press.


n YEW YORK, June 6.-Jack
Irwin, the Princeton hurdler,
John Hoffstetter of Dart
mouth and Indiana'S Chuck
Hornbostel. now a graduate student
at Harvard, effected a three-way di-
vision of the honors in the annual
Spring games of the New York Ath-
letic Club at Travers Island today as
Bill Bonthron, a world record holder
who has been out of competition for
a year, failed to threaten the leaders
in his event.
Irwin turned in the only record
breaking performance of the day
when he won one of the two 400-meter
hurdle races in $40 seconds. That
clipped half second off the meet and
track record. made four years ago
by Joseph Healy. He finished five
yards ahead of Hamilton Hucker,
former Cornell star
Hoffstetter ran a brilliant quarter
mile in one of the trial heats, but
withdrew from the final, won by
George F. Nix. The Dartmouth
speedster. starting three yards be-
hind scratch, moved quickly to the
front and finished in 49.6 seconds
Only Trial for BonthrOn.
HORNBOSTEL, unleashing a pow
erful finishing kick" after Harry
Williamson Of North Carolina had set
the pace. captured the three-quarter-
mile special in the comparatively slow
time of 3:o5.5, leading Lou Burns of
Manhattan College, Williamson and
Bonthron to the finish.
The former Princeton star, tuning
up for the Princeton invitational meet
next week when he will again try
conclusions with his old rivals, Glenn
Cunningham and Gene Venzke, never
was a factor in the race. Bonthron
afterward revealed that he had set
out only to run the distance in $50
and since he was well under that
mark he made no serious effort to
overhaul the leaders.
Holding third place until the final
lap, Hornbostel made his bid on the
back stretch. breezed past the weak
ening Bill Ray of Manhattan, with
Burns following at his heels and
took Williamson as they turned
into the stretch. Ray, who had trail
ed the North Carolina runner in the
first half mile, dropped back be-
hind Bonthron at the finish.

The unusually high rank Of the
greyhounds in the last few months is
attributable not to a sudden squirt in

ACCOUNT
COMPROMISE
SEEN NEAR

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 49,.
Settlement of Montg cry
county's alleged "overdraft" in
their account with the Maryland
State Roads Commission appeared
nearer solution today following a
conference of State and county
officials here yesterday.
Chief Auditor William A. Codd,
Commissioner Nice Wilkinson, and
Thomas Jenifer, assistant attorney
general assigned to the State
Roads Commission, conferred for
several hours in the commissioners
office in an attempt to reach settle
ment.
After State officials had in
formed the county commissioners
they were legally unable to propose
a compromise settlement Of the
county's deficit Of approximately
$230,000, and must demand full
settlement, Albert M. Bouic, coun-
sci to the commissioners, proposed
the following means OF clearing up
the account:
The retention by the State
roads commission of approximate
ly $4,000 annually Of the county's
share of the lateral gasoline tax,
estimated at about $4,000 each
year, to apply on the "in the
red" balance, while 100000 would
be turned over to the county to
maintain their lateral highway
system.
To borrow the approximate
$230,000 required to liquidate the
overdraft, and set this aside for
highway maintenance, while the
county's full share of the lateral
gasoline tax fund would be ap-
piled on their deficit.
Mr.. Codd said he believed the
roads commission should agree to
this proposal and added that the
equipment required by the coun-
ties to maintain their lateral high
ways could be rented from the
State.

DRY CYCLE DUE
TO HIT PEAK
IN 1938-4O
International News Service


The cycle Of droughts which
have beset the United States in
three Of the last six years has not
yet reached it's lowest point.
The Smithsonian Institution
said today if history repeats itself
the droughts will reach their most
arid stage between 1888 and 1910.
No Danger Of Deserts
There is little danger of the
arid areas becoming deserts, said
DR.. Charles G.. Abbot, secretary
of the Institution, because the
droughts should be followed by
plentiful of rains for the next sew
eral years. The Institution said;
Temperature and precipita-
ton variations, at any particular
place on the earth'S surface,
have a marked tendency to re-
peat themselves every % years,
which is double the 1112-year
sunspOt cycle well known to as
trOnOmers. This. actually has
happened in the North Central
United States, the water levels
show, in the four 23-year periods
since 1887. The general con-
tours Of the curves of the water
level variations for each of the
23-year intervals is very similar.
at so happens, however. that
the most extreme variations re-
peat at 46-year intervals, or
double the 23year cycle, in that
particular area"
RAINFALL FOLLOWED
DR.. Abbot said his reports show
that water levels of the Great
Lakes were very high in 1898,
then declined to 1848, when the
Middle West experienced the worst
drought recorded up to this year.
This drought was followed by a
steady increase in rainfall for five
years, then a minor decline, and
another upward swing in precipi-
tation continuing until the end of
the 23-year period in 1859. The
institution reported:
According to the 46 year
hypothesis, the region should
have been getting drier and
drier ever since. 1t has. If the
cycle continues to run true to
form, the low Point should be
reached some time between
1938-4O, followed by a rapid up
swing"
