swear that this is the ideal dog in
both respects. The author OF the
official book of breeds of the Amer
lean Kennel Club, Complete Dog
Book" advances the theory that the
lack of popularity of the Gordon
may partly be aScribed to his very
virtue as companion and his lone
man" quality. He is not the sort
of dog that makes fool of himself
over everybody who hands him a
crust. he wishes the friendship of
his own master, and works best for
the one he loves. Therefore, he Is
not so likely to do well in the large
strings Of the professional handlers,
either of the field trial or show dog.
He does not adapt himself readily to
life in large and impersonal kennels
and is therefore not so well liked
by the busy handlers who have many
dogs to show.
One of the most enthusiastic OF
Gordon breeders in this country is
George w. Won OSthof of the East
Court Kennels At present four
Gordon setter champions are housed
In their kennels, but the champion
of champions is Downside Bonnie
of SerlWay. This is a dog whose
outstanding record of major wins
is too long to quote, but it includes
best of breed at Westminster three
successive years, 1898, '39, 40 and
best of breed at Morris and Essex
in 1899 and 1910. Although he is a
representative of one Of the lesser
known sporting breeds, he has been
placed in the group a number OF

was IN New YORK at the Time, ana
he joined the New York Ship
Model Builders Club. There he
met number of men who were
authorities on the old sailing ships.
In this group were Capt. Armitage
McCann and Capt. Bob Bartlett.
BY talking with these men he ac-
quired a solid background of knowl-
edge on which to base his later work.
Another member of this group
was Richard Maury, who a few
years ago sailed around the world
in a small boat. paying his way
by writing magazine articles about
the trip.
DR.. Mitchells first model was
the Sovereign Of the Seas, made
while he was still in New York.
Through college and his internship,
he continued to work on models.
Three Of his larger ones were
built while serving in hospitals.
They were the Rex. Arabella and
Guilty Sark. He also made a num-
ber of smaller models during this
period.
And now the doctor lives in an
apartment at 3945 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV, and he constructs profess
sional-appearing models in his hv-
ing room. His only power tools are
a small jigsaw, and a flexible shaft
grinder. suggestive of a dentists
drill. 1t even has a foot-pedal to
control it's speed. All sorts of opera
tions can be performed with this last
tool, such as drilling, routing, grind
ing and carving. However. this still
leaves much to be done by hand.
Two factors contribute greatly TO
the professional appearance of DR..
Mitchell's models. One is the ply
sician's painstaking care with small
details. This is particularly evident
in the rigging The other factor is
the paint and varnish work. The
paint finish Is produced by many
applications of good oil paint. care
fully rubbed down. The stripping,
boot topping (that narrow strip OF
a different color between the upper
and lower portions of the hulD, etc.
are applied with the utmost care,
and there are no ragged edges Wis
ible, even on close inspection. AS a

result Of all this care, DR.. Mitchell
has some models which could not
be bought for less than $1,000
All told, he has built about IS
models, ranging from an ls-inch to
the foot copy Of the Flying Cloud
which is 81 inches in length over all.
to tiny model of 70-foot tug on a
scale of l inch to 100 feet. Five Of
the larger models were built from
kits. When the doctor builds a kit
model, he carefully checks the plans
supplied against all known data
available on the boat in question
He then makes any changes neces-
sary to produce an authentic copy
Of the original. People in Washing
ton are fortunate in having the
Library of Congress to refer to in
such matters, and he makes liberal
use Of its facilities.
Probably DR.. Mitchells best model
to date is that of the Bounty, shown
in the accompanying illustration.
This was built from British Admir-
atty plans. and rigged and painted
as described in contemporary let
tiers. The physician believes 1t to
be the only Bounty model in this
country which is painted correctly,
the paint being patterned after an
eyewitness description of the orig
inal. This model like several Of the
others, has a coppered hull. The
copper is not Just painted on. but
consists Of actual copper plates of
the correct size, made from copper
foil .002 of an inch thick.
The cordage, blocks. deadeyes and
anchors are about the only parts of
these ships which DR. Mitchell does
not make himself. The commercial
ones are inexpensive and very &C
curate, and 1t would hardly pay to
try to make them.
At present the doctor is working
on the Baltic, an American schooner
of about 1765. There is a water
color painting of this boat in the
Peabody Museum which is believed
to be one of the first such art works
ever produced in this country. He
also plans to build model of
the Blue Nose, the famous American
fishing schooner.

a larger dog than either the English

measurement he may be the same.

not be cloddy either. Chest should

absolutely straight and hind legs

of the Gordon setter should be deep

stop, clean cheek and long muzzle.
The ewes should be dark brown and
not too large or too small. The ears
should be large, thin and set on low.

season starts in earnest. On the

in many respects, 1t has SO judges
scheduled to do the breeds, an un-
usual number for show of this
size. Nearly every one Of the judges
is specialist in the breeds as
signed, and nearly every one is
strictly an amateur Also unusual
is the fact that judging will begin
at / pm, late start for an out
door show, but a welcome one for
those who like to sleep late on
Sundays.
A favorite show for fanciers from
this vicinity is the Devon Dog As
sociation's fixture at the Devon
horse show grounds. This year it
will be held two weeks earlier than
usual, on September IA, and will
be followed, as usual, by the Mont
gomery County all-terrier show. The

Der of speciality clubs which will con-

NEW COMEDY x 1 ATTRACTION Al
 CAPITOL SHOW
Joe and Eihel Turp Call on the President"
 Opens Tonight

Another set of popular charac- ters will transfer themselves from the printed page to the motion pie ture screen starting at the Capitol Theatre in Joe and Ethel Turp Call on the President, concerning Damon Runyon's famous Joe and Ethel Turp, and the result is more than gratifying.
 Ann Sothern and William Gar gan bring Joe and Ethel to the screen as two warm, human sym pathetic characters who will more than please millions Of the readers who have come to know them in Runyon's newspaper correspondence fiction.
 Joe and Ethel Turp Call on the President is the story of Joe and Ethel who decide to go to see the President to get the postmans job back after he has been fired lor destroying letter Lewis Stone proves to be very nice President and complies with their wishes after they tell him the story of Jim, the postman which is re-enacted in retrospect. Jim's crime was con- mitted to keep from an elderly dy- ing woman the news that her son had been killed in prison break. The fact that Jim had loved this woman from the time they both were young and had protected her in his naive way through years of widowhood gives heart-tugging appeal to the story Incidentally, be- sides getting Jim's job back, Joe and Ethel give the President some advice that keeps the country out of war.

FAIR EXHIBITORS
 ARE ASKED T0GET
 PREMIUM LISTING
Chances Have Been Made for This Year-Enter-
 tdinment Secured

In order to assure each exhibitor an equal chance at the coming Southeast Alaska Fair in Juneau, it is necessary that everyone who wishes to place an exhibit to read the premium book and have their exhibit conform with the premiums as listed. Mrs. Ray G. Day, who has charge of the women's division, has made several changes th a t should make this section much more interesting and the women should read the premium listings carefully and in addition to their name they should give their post office box number as well as theft address. The management has tried to see that everyone receives their premium checks promptly, but some difficulty has arisen where a proper mailing address has not been given.
 Tn the agricultural division, new exhibitors have neglected to place their exhibits in proper amounts and these should also be checked carefully and see that the pro ducts are arranged as listed and that a proper address is given.
 The Aerial Patts, who will do the entertaining, are leaders in their field at flying gymnasts and if it were not for the fact that they are interested in seeing our won. derful country it would have been. impossible to arrange an engage ment for them. Each performer doubles in several acts and the Patts will be of interest to the children as MT. Patt doubles as a clown and has his wonderfully trained dog with him.
