comers as the Airedale, the bull ter

wire-haired pointing griffon.
In 1893 the Boston terrier and in
1898 the French bulldog were ad-
mitted to the sacred pages.
Since then the total of recognized
breeds has crept up to 109, but most
of those recognized within recent
years have had long histories as
purebreds in this or other countries.
Much Work for Pro Handlers.
There are only All professional
American Kennel Club licensed ham
dlers IN the United States. Consid-
ering the number Of shows during
the year. the concentration of shows
at certain seasons in certain Sec
tions, the large number OF dogs be-
ing shown, some of them from
coast to coast, this is surprisingly
small number.
1t Is estimated that profess
sional handlers travel a total
Of 100000 to 100000 miles
a year, based on an average OF
10000 to $4,000 miles each, al
though some of them roll up
well over $4,000 miles annually
on their kennel truck speed
ometers.
Dog fanciers who show their own
dogs are estimated to travel 9 or lO
times the distance. making total
of about 100,O00,000 miles for the
show-going dogs Of the country, re-
gardless of handlers. And that is a
lot of distance to cover for a few
inches of blue ribbon that isn't even

Little Dogs picked On"
The antipathy Of certain breeds OF

years for the specific purpose Of
fighting, for other dogs is we'll

giant breeds share this same an
tipathy, especially for small dogs, is
not so we'll known, except among the

This fact became especially point

me that his 6-pound Pomeranian
had been wantonly killed in the
street near his home by a huge dog
that has figured several times in the
papers as hero.
The informant stated that
the killer showed no signs Of
fight toward large or medium

that ventured within eyesight
was sure to get into trouble.

MCKINLEY PARK RANGERS EQUIPPED WITH RADIOS

MOUNT MCKINLEY NATION AL PARK-Mount Mckinley Ma tional Park is equipped with one of the finest short wave radio sets in the Territory. The sets are described as outstanding by radio authorities because of their effectiveness and compactneSS. Radio Technician w c Hilgedick of the National Park Service de- signed the equipment which is similar to that used in other na- tional parks.
 By means of this fine equip ment, the Park headquarters will be in constant communication with rangers at outpost stations and on patrol according to Su- perintendent Frank T. Been of Mount Mckinley National Park.
 The equipment consists of two master 50 watt sets and three portable Is watt sets. Small gaso line motors supply the power for the larger sets one of which is at Park Headquarters and the ether at Wonder Lake Ranger Station. Call letters for Park Headquarters are KNJN and for Wonder Lake KNJN-W.
 The portable sets which are about the size of a ladies over night bag are taken by the rang CTS on patrol. In winter they are carried on the dog sleds and in summer on pack horse or auto mobile.
 Radio communication in win ter is particularly important as the long periods when rangers are completely out of touch with headquarters will now be broken by daily radio contacts. The dan gers of winter patrol are there by reduced. The Park Superin- tendent is able to keep in touch with developments and incidents experienced by the men during patrol. Quite probbaly the radio will also contribute toward the safety and welfare of disabled men whom the rangers may meet. Dog sled rescued in the past bear out this possibility.
 Teachers may also be quickly brought to trial through the com bined use of radio and airplane.

DTN0ND SAYS ALASKA DEFENSE WORK IS JUST STAFF OF HUGE OUTLAY

Great enlargements of national defense plans as affecting Alaska is predicted by Delegate An thony J. Dimond who said he be-
 ieved that $4,000,000 allotment for the army airbsse near Fair banks an dthe $11,75O,000 appro Driations for navy projects al Sit ka and Kodiak were but the be- ginnings of programs that will call for additional expenditures of much greater sums.
 The Delegate expressed confid- eaee that congress never would give legislative effect 10 the slat sary reports recommendation llzt flo. eign refugees, excluded by immigration laws from the 5.ates, should be allowed 10 set .le in Alaska.
 Alaska will figure in a large way in national defense plans,o the Delegate said. Present appro priations are merely the begin ming of further huge expendi- lures.
 Former Senator Clarence C. Dill of Washington once told me about 10 years were required to get favorable recognition in the natiinal capital for new pro- posal of merit. So many folks have to be convinced of the Worthiness.
 The defense programs for Al aska is almost case in point"
 Delegate Dimond expressed qualification that the airbase wiuld be established by the Army on forced labor instead O. by contractors on bids.
 Major Edward M. George, of the Quartermaster Corps of the Army, who is in charge of air base construction in Alaska, has given the assurance that in the employment of labor Alaskans will be biven preference. the delegate declared
 Congress will turn a deaf ear to the Slattery reports recommend ation for relaxing immigration laws so foreign refugees, barred from the States may enter Alas ka, the Delegate asserted. He added:
 Of course, I. in common with other AlaskanS. desire increased population and additional capital in the Territory to develop it's resources. All Americans sym pathize, too with the persecuted minorities in Europe but Alaska's progress would be retarded rath CT than advanced by admission to Alaska of refugees who are no; eligible to enter the States. There should be no barriers of any kind between the States and Alaska"

reached out and took another bite
out of Czechoslovakia last week.
France and England, and especially
England, say this thing has gone
far enough and threaten war if
that be necessary to stop Hitler.
My sympathy and understanding
go out to Chamberlain, England's
premier, as Germany's big boss
places him more firmly on the spot
of the worlds unthinking condem-
nation. Hitler is calling him a cow
ard, one who is willing to sell out
his principles for a measure of
safety for himself and dares him to
fight. The world, without serious
thought, seems willing to accept
Hitler's appraisal. The world for
gets that Chamberlain is in no per-
sonal danger and therefore has no
need to consider himself in his deal
ings with Hitler. He could, as you
and 1 would likely do, slap the Hit
Ter face and tweak the Hitler nose
just for his own great satisfaction.
This would give the dictator just
the excuse for which he has been
trying, an excuse to plunge into
war, to sacrifice the lives of mil
lions of innocent persons and blame
the result on some one other than
himself. Chamberlain's restraint
seems to me both logical and very
very commendable. Can't the world
appreciate that war means death
