In the first of a series of articles
appearing in the current issue of
Liberty Magazine, Walter Karig,
Washington commentator, de-
scribes Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins as "the most leftish mem
ber of the Roosevelt Cabinet"
In writing about the first woman
Cabinet member, Karig accuses
her of sometimes delegating her
powers to John L. Lewis, head of
the CIO. He cites one instance
when Madame Perkins consulted
Lewis before making a decision
concerning a recent naval con-
struction program.

BY r. L. TAYNTON,

Poor pooch has been made re.
sponsible for many things far from his
ken. He has been used In Q manner
never foreseen by the god of dogs.
But it remained for the American
Kennel Club to think up an entirely
new and original use for his canine
highneSs.
Not content with exploiting him as
the medium Of mans work in many
fields and sports, as an aid to mans
physical and mental well being, and as
. source Of commercial gain. he now is
to be used as . financial index to fore
cast the state Of the country at large.
It u claimed that the rise and fall
OF prosperity in the ive years follow
ing 1927 were accurately predicted by
the vital statistics maintained by the
American Kennel Club on registra-
tions, transfers and dog shows.
The rise Of the pure bred dog
a. . sport started in 1919 and
reached its first zenith in 1877
when 290 dog sh1ws took place.
But, according to our informant, in
spite Of the large number Of shows, the
crash Of 1929 was foreshadowed by the
falling of in entries from the previous
year. Both registrations and show en-
tries, as well as numbers Of shows,
dropped until 1882, when the upswing
was started with the entry Of the
horsey crowd into the dog aeld-horses
being more expensive to maintain than
dogs.
The recession Of 1887 again was
foreshadowed by . falling Oh In show
entries In the last six months Of 1895.
But here comes the good news. Shows,
entries and registrations still are
climbing. therefore. prosperity un-
doubtedly Is back again.
AL you have to do is 60 out and get
yourself show dog to be right In the
swing.

IN Is or better. Any way you figure
him Elliott spicer is one Of the re-
markable figures in q game that tends
toward the bizarre.
They tell all kinds Of yarns about
Elliott Spicer at Indian Spring, Of how
he racked up his clubs when the bal
loon ball came in and didn't play for
a year: Of how disgusted he was with
the pill Of 1881 and how he started
playing better golf two or three years
ago with the present high-power ball
and began taking on all comers, in
cluding Buddy sharkey. the long hit
ting club champ, and winning with
that funny-looking swing and that
sensitive putting stroke.
But Elliott Just sticks to his knitting
and keeps showing the ball around the
Indian sprine course in IS and better
every time he starts. Par for that
rugged layout. Is II, and in case you
don't know its quite a knack to whack
the ball around in par or anywhere
near it.

. He whacks that ball q long way,
with tail-end fade, and you could
draw~a line down the middle Of the
fairway and Elliott wouldn't miss it
more than 10 yards. Furthermore the

And out Of the tourney as the

and Leroy Sasscer, two gents whose
total years reach up toward the CEN
tury mark. Coli may be kids game
in most leagues, but they still pay
of on accuracy and steadiness. And
Spicer has both.
Indian Spring now holds quite

titleholder and Marion Brown Is the

It's Just another clincher for
the argument that good golf

Event at Mclean,
BY ROD THOMAS.

Raymond L. Frye, deadly deadpAn
OF the horseshoe courts, won't be per-
mitted to defend his title q champion
Of Metropolitan Warrington when the
annual Evening Star tournament u
held next month, but Frye nevertheless
Ii expected to play . conspicuous part
In Capital ringer wars.
In becoming horseshoe director of
Richmond, Va, Fairgrounds, Frye
moved from the territory encompassed
by the tournament. But . series OF
special events. now being arranged by
the new Washington-s Suburban Horse
shoe Pitchers Association, will bring
the popular pitcher back for the
benefit Of hundreds who marveled
over his skill in Star tournaments Of
the last several years.
Frye's first appearance will take
place on Tuesday night, August 2, In
the Mclean, Va, invitation tourna-
ment, an event in which eight Of the
topfighters Of Maryland, Virginia and
Warrington will compete and in which
"Deadpan" will be the defending
champion.

Thompson Is president Of the WASH

A merry scramble is due for the
throne Frye vacates in The Star
tournament. A number Of new names
appeared this summer among pitchers
Of high ringer percentages and there
likely will be no outstanding favorite
when the metropolitan scrap begins.
The Job Of picking contestants at
Mclean, due to new talent, Is tougher
than ever, and Huschke will lean
heavily on Thompson and other on

selections. One elimination round viii

Meaning of Name Isabel

The name Isabel was long (and
by some authorities is Silly consid-
cred form of the Hebrew Eliza
beth, meaning "consecrated to
Cod" But later research seems to
establish that its original form was
Jezebel, meaning "oath to Baal,"
according to Florence A. Cowles in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Isabel
is such beautiful name that one. is
reluctant to associate it with ideas
evoked by the name of Jezebel. But,
after all, while Jezebel was respon-
sible for her acts she was not re-
sponsible for her name. Moreover,
a Bible list of names says that
Jezebel probably meant "chaste, or
pure" That justifies the Isabels in
claiming that beautiful meaning.

could have sprung. St. Isabel,
