loves trip to Washington. the dog
shows profit accordingly. Last year
the autumn show of the Old Dominion
Kennel Club-to be held this year at
Alexandria on October 15-drew en-
tries from Seattle and Southern Cali
fornia. This year there are promised
entries from New Orleans and Canada,
as well as the Far West. Even so
the bulk of the attendance, both in
dogs and gate" will come from near
by. And since it happens that there
are many fine specimens in and around
the District, both privately owned and
in kennels for which this part of the
country is famous, 1t follows that q
rainbowlike collection Of ribbons will
stay right here.
WITH the Alexandria Hospital As
w the beneficiary, committees and
club members have been working even
harder than usual to make this annual
event financial as well as a sporting
success. The municipal ball park
grounds, ideal for an outdoor show,
furnish also shelter in case Of rain.
There will be uncrowded parking space,
ample lunch facilities, large show rings
with plenty Of room for spectators
and always rows and rows of dogs
of all sorts, from the magnificent Bor-
zois and Great Danes to the furry,
cushioned Poms and hairless Chihua-
huas.
Those who invest q dollar for an
all-day sojourn on the grounds (and

Mayor Walkers terrier, DR.. Compton's
beautiful German shepherd, Jill, one
of the few dogs in the country to hold

TT Is hoped that goodly sum will
be raised for that popular benefi-

noted citizen, can be believed, every

They will enjoy an eventful day by
the various ringsides; will feel the
increasing crescendo of excitement as
winners are chosen in the breeds,
growing still higher as the six groups
are judged-smart terriers, sturdy
working dogs, pert toys, transporting
dogs (spotted Dalmatians, bowlegged
bulldogs, scowling elbows. foppish

SET USED CAR
CHANGE week
Local Dealers Planning for
Participation in U. S.
Wide Event

HcndersOnville automobile deal
ers are organizing to participate
in the national used car exchange
week" and following a meeting
this afternoon will be able to an
nounce their tentative program,
beginning next Saturday and last
ing through Saturday, March II.
A majority of the dealers con-
ferred last night for about two
hours on how best 20 participate
in the biggest national event Of
the kind in the annals of automo-
bile history.
The dealers in session last night
elected Z. G. Thomas of the
Thomas Motor company as chair
man of the group. Another meet
ing will be held this afternoon to
perfect the details Of program
for the week of March 5-12, which
will be observed by the $4,000
dealers in America.
This big nationa! campaign IN
which automobile manufacturers
are to spend for publicity during
the week one and a quarter mil
lion dollars is the outgrowth Of
recent conferences with President
Roosevelt on methods of helping
boost industry.
Alvin Macauley, spokesman for
the auto industry, speaking OF the
biggest thing Of the kind ever
known to the industry, said:
$50 far as the automobile in
dustry is concerned, the most Sc
rious barrier to business improve
ment is the large stock of used
cars in dealers hands," Mr.. Mac
auley pointed out.
Until these cars can be sold, It
is impossible for dealers to handle
a normal volume of new-car busi-
ness" he explained. This means
that factories will be forced to
continue on part-time, and thou
sands of men in the motor car
plants and in allied industries must
remain either out-of-work or on
part-time schedules"

To Conclude County Cage
Semi-Finals at City
Gym Tonight

The Etowah girls basketball
team, seeded two in the annual
Henderson county cage tourna-

sided win over Dana, and the
highly favored and first seeded
Edncyville boys swamped Flat
Rock at the city gymnasium last
night.
The scores were:
Etowah 81, Dana II.
Edneyville 80, Flat Rock 6.
Semi-finals in the tournament
will be concluded tonight and fl

played next Monday and Tuesday.
The schedule for tonight is as fol-
lows:
Girls-Flat Rock VS.. Mills Riv-
er, 1880 o'clock.
Boys-Mills River VS.. Etowah,
$50 o'clock.
Dana's girls found the going
tough against Etowah last night
and were never in the ball game
as the woodworking girls from
the west piled up an 8-pOint lead
in the first period. Only in the
second and final periods were the
teams on even terms, each Scor-
ing three points in the second,
while in the final Dana scored six
points to five for Etowah.
The Dana girls did not show
the form displayed in their first
game when they downed Edney-
vile by 3-point margin, and the
close guarding of Etowah kept
the girls from Blue Ridge bottled
up during most of the game.
Dana's forwards failed to take
advantage of free shots, making
good on only four out of 10 tries
from the foul line.
McKinna and o. Dalton led the
Etowah scoring with nine points
each, while Pace was high scorer
for Dana with 10 points.
