MEXICO:


Our southern neighbor has only one
original breed of dog - the Chihua-
hua, who in his native haunts has
characterics similar to the prairie dog
of our western states. He lives in
colonies, burrows his home in the
ground, and it always has been a
mystery as to what he lives on, as he
always takes up his residence in the
barren lands of the state of Chihaua-
hua, from whence comes his name.
There are two varieties, the short
haired with which most everyone is
familiar, and long haired variety,
which closely resembles the Poodle
but with longer body, rounder head
and pop eyes.
One of the outstanding Characters
tics of this breed is a small hole about
the size of a pea in the center of the
skull, just above the eyes, which can
easily be detected by running the
forefnger over his head.
In his native haunts he will weigh
from 10 to IL pounds, but has been
bred down by the fancier to weigh as
little as seven-eighths of pound.
The ancestery of the Mexican Hair
less lis obscure. From his general ap-
pearance he probably came from
cross of the Chihuahua and the
Chinese crested.
Mexico does not have kennel club
or governing body such as the A. X.
c. in this country. Ell
SOUTH AMERICA:
Argentina is the only country in
South America maintaining a kennel
club and operating licensed dog
shows. There are two dog publica-
tions in Buenos Aires and most of
the popular breeds are fairly well
known there.
Chile is next in line, and the writer
knows of few exports that have
been made from the United States to
that republic in the last year. They
have been mostly from the West
Coast, and the Cocker Spaniel seems
to have led the demand.
Brazil comes third in dog consci-
BUSINESS, and has been importing
Danes, Dobermans, German shepherds
and Dachshunde from the Fatherland.
The fact that the other South Ameri-
can republics are behind in Doggie
Doings is probably because they are
SO near the equator and the heat is so
intense that dogs are raised there
with difficulty. Long haired breeds
cannot survive, and those dogs that
are taken there suffer from mango
and other skin troubles.
Hair Combs Long in Use
Hair combs are of great antiquity
and specimens made of wood, bone
and horn have been found in Swiss

VOICE IN PARTY
TO Be WEIGHED
Equal Representation for
Women May Be Taken
Up Next Week.

The feasibility Of inaugurating q
policy to give women equal repre-
sentation with men on the Arlington
County (VaD Democratic Executive
Committee will come before its special
committee. probably next week, Mrs.
Clara L. Nevin. chairman Of the COM
mittee. said today.
The request was made at the last
meeting of the Arlington County Wom-
ems Democratic Club. Charles r.
Fenwick, chairman of the county
Democratic Executive Committee,
named a special committee to 60
into the problem for report at the next
regular meeting on November 9.
Five Others on Committee.
Serving with Mrs Nevin on this
committee are Mrs. Herbert Marcy,
Mrs. Crandall Mackey. Nixon Brewer,
j. Maynard Magruder and Maynard
Carlisle.
One question the committee must
determine is whether the County Ex-
ecutive Committee has the authority
to establish policy of equal represen-
tatlon when there is no provision for
this in the State party plan" Another
question to be solved is whether the
proposal would be desirable.

The Executive Committee consists
Of two elected representatives from
each Of the county's II precincts. The
question arises whether one of two men
who receive the highest number Of
votes may be replaced by a woman
who receives third or fourth highest;
or man could replace one of the
women who received the greatest num-
Der Of votes in any precincts
One suggestion made by q Virginia
voter was that if women want more
representation on the Executive Com
mittee they must campaign more for
