Kennel Club. This committee, con-
Sisting of men eminent in various
professions, including legal, medical
and veterinarian, as well as promi-
nent sportsmen and dog breeders,
have full knowledge of the impor-
tance and problems of their work,
and it is hoped they will evolve a
plan that will be a practical model
for adoption throughout the country.
Raw Meat Beneficial.
A recent news item in the daily
papers headlined the finding that
substance in raw meat $50 far un-
namedD is found beneficial to sickly
children and kittens. Moreover, the
benefits of this substance are stored
in the body and progressively are
beneficial from generation to gen.
GRAFTON. While this may be big
news in the medical scientific field,
old-time. practical dog breeders only
can sniff a Whats new in that?"
as comment. Few dog breeders of
any experience will deny that raw
meat, containing the vital organs
as we'll as the muscles of the car
cass, makes the best feed for dogs.
Dogs Need Summer Diet.
Weather and temperature un-
doubtedly affect the appetiteS of
dogs as we'll as of people. 1t is
noticeable now that dogs which have
not had their winter diets modified
to meet the season no longer are
cleaning out their dishes as COM
pletely as they did during the cold
weather. Not only should dogs be
fed less in hot weather. but they
should be fed slightly differently.
No fats should be added to their
food. Cereals, particularly corn and
oats, should constitute a smaller
part of their rations
As usual, meat should con-
stitute the major portion of
their diet, but for the sum-
mer, the meat should be leaner
than that which may be fed
safely in cold weather.
This is the time to emphasize
that dogs must have water, clean.
cool, fresh water, readily available
at all times.
A good sized. heavy, fiat bottomed.
earthenware dish makes the best
vessel for water. The kind used
in rabbitries is ideal for the pur-
pose, since it is not easily tipped
over, can be cleaned readily. and
keeps the contents cooler for
longer period than enamel, china
and aluminium dishes do. If the
water pan is kept always in the
same place, kept replenished. and
in shady spot if possible. the dog
will be immensely grateful.

Interstate Ring Film
Ban Is Seen Due
To Be Lifted

A group of dignified, round-faced
solons, weary from weeks of dellb-
Grating over tax plans, reorganiza-
ton plans, w. P A. probes and plain,
ordinary legislation. will gather in
solemn conclave Friday morning to
consider passage of an act permit
ting the transportation of fight films
across State lines.
The bill-Senate bill No. 2047,
sponsored by Senator Warren w.
Barbour of California-Will have the
active support of the National Box
ing Association. with its heavy rep
resentation of States; Jack Dempsey
and a host of important figures on
the pugilistic scene. 1t is thought
to have an excellent chance of being
approved.
Although films of prize fights are
barred from interstate commerce by
Federal statute, they have been
bootlegged in recent years and eX-
hibited in nearby Maryland theaters.
Mai. Ernest w. Brown. chairman of
the District Boxing Commission, in
his last six reports to the City Com
missioners, advocated repeal of the
existing law prohibiting transporta-
ton of the films.
Federal aid. in the guise of the
law, was invoked when the eXhibi-
ton of films showing Jack Johnson,
former colored heavyweight cham
pion, whipping Jim Jetfries in title
match melted race riots throughout
the Nation. Since Joe Louis as
cended the throne, however, there
has been not the slightest trace of
trouble at showing of championship
bout films. and opinion is unanimous
that the repeal of the law will be
helpful rather than harmful to
boxing.
Senator Warren is a confirmed
ring ian, having been amateur
heavyweight champion when JEFF
frles held the professional title He
toured the provinces with the burly
bollermaker and undoubtedly would
have made an outstanding profess
slonal heavyweight had not he for

Rabies Fight Stays Warm.
The fight on rabies still continues
to make the headlines all over the
country. 1t includes the fight
against the one-shot method of
rabies inoculation, which is held by
many to be totally inefficacious, and
is said to be source of political
racketeering in some communities.
The New York Academy of Medi-
cine, IN a recent pronOuncement,
says: From the evidence on hand,
the immunization of dogs with COM
merclal rabies vaccine, as yet can
not be recommended as a procedure
to be demanded by the Department
OF Health. For the present, more
stringent enforcement of regulations
concerning the leashing and muz-
zllng of dogs seems to be the only
practical approach to the problem. :"
This recommendation takes
on added weight because it
has the sanction Of DIR. Leslie
L. Webster, who for the last

to test the efficacy of vaccines.

has been conducting laboratory tests

sliced into the woods, hit a tree,
caromed onto the apron, took
couple of screwball hops and
