The Maryland Fox Terrier Club
held a sanction match last Sunday
in Baltimore. 1t was judged by
L. w. Manners of Hagerstown, who
found several class winners among
the Wire-haired terriers owned by
fanciers from this vicinity. First
in the puppy dog and open classes
was Raymond Scaggs' Peter Pan
Sir Galahad, First novice dog was
Arthur Scharfeld's Lucart Chico
and first novice bitch was Mrs. R. H.
Johnston's Dawn of Ruffcote. The
best deg in the show was Gay TriX,
a puppy bitch owned by w. j.
Mehring of Harrisburg, Pa.
In former years the month of
December was tacitly assumed to
be dedicated to the Christmas
frenzy and dog shows were held in
all the other months. This year,
however, a number of new shows
have cropped up and, since most
of the week end dates in the other
months are reserved by the Ameri-
can Kennel Club for show-giving
clubs that have used these dates
in the past, there is nothing for
them to do but compete with Santa
Claus
The Kennel Club of Central Penn
sylvania has announced a first,
licensed, all-breed show for Decem-
ber 26. This gives local fanciers
who may be lucky enough to find a
show dog in their socks Christmas
Day a last chance to qualify him
for the Westminster show. Officially
dogs entered for the garden show
this wear must have won first,
second or third ribbon before the
official first closing date, which is
January 13 Whether this ruling
will be strictly interpreted is not
known. Probably Interpretation will
depend on the speed with which
entries flow in. If entries do not
come too quickly 1t may be possible
to qualify and enter a dog for this
show at Baltimore on January 81
and February l.
However, the Altoona fixture is
not too long a drive from WASH
ington for most fanciers and will
give many a chance to encourage a
budding club and to give their dogs
a preliminary workout.
The story of Morris Frank and
Buddy, his Seeing Eye dog, has been
told many times. However, in re-
cent publication called the Human
Side of Greatness Frank tells his
own story of how he acquired Bud

Eye Institute was started. How
ever, more interesting to the reader
Is the profound effect that Buddy
had on Franks character. BY his

The Bulldog Club of America IS
probably one of the first canine Or
ganizations to take official notice
of the current European war 1t is
now raising money through the
affiliate bulldog clubs to purchase
and equip an ambulance for the
British. From the Bulldogs of
America is to be lettered on the
sides.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that
this step is being taken by the
American bulldog fanciers. No other
breed is so representative of the ma
tional character and courage of the
English. For many years the bull
dog has symbolized the British ma
tion. John Bull himself, although
depicted generally in human form,
always suggests by his outline and
expression the typical bulldog.
There is great rivalry between
John and Willie Gum thee days.
He is chairman of the Trophy Com
mittee for the Old Dominion Kennel
Club, and she is chairman of the
Trophy Committee of the Washing
ton Bulldog Club. Who makes the
better prize collector will not be de-
termined until after they move into
their new home in Kensington, Md,
and each can display to the best
advantage the fruits of his or her
collections. They hope to be moved
in and settled by Christmas.
Mrs. Lloyd Thomas of Reno road
has been missing from the nearby
dog shows for some months, but her
friends hope that she will soon be
numbered among those present. She
is recovering from rare blood in
fection which has kept her con-
fined to bed. However, her family
expects to have her celebrate Christ
mas Day by being up and about with
them.
There are many ways of acquiring
good dogs. The usual ones of pur-
chase and gift are we'll known. One
that is not so well known is by
having dog adopt one In North
West Washington there is a schip-
perke who was bought and raised
by we'll known Washington fam
lily Wearying of his luxurious home.
this little dog set out to find a place
where he could be of some use in
the world. He ended at the home
of girl who wanted a dog. Adver-
tised and returned to his legal
owner, the little schip found his way
back to the girl three times. After
the third time the legal owner de-
cided that the dog knew more about
where he belonged than the man
did, and there the schip stayed.

Few toy breeds are more interest
ing in character or prettier than the
Ponleranian, second most popular
toy breed. There is little doubt that
the Pom belongs to one of the basic
dog families of the world. The sled
dog of the Arctic, the sheepherding
keeshond of Northern Germany, the
chow, and the spit Of Finland are
basically the same breed. Indeed,
the modern Pomeranian was first
introduced in England In the guise
of the keeshond. Since Britain al
ready had her quota of herding
breeds and was more interested in
sporting dogs than others anyhow,
the foreigner was not received with
much favor. The marvellous, heavy
coat that is now the most prominent
feature of the breed was at that
time looked upon as nuisance.
However, a few people were in
trigued by the difference of this
breed of dog from others more pop
ular in England and persevered in
breeding them. At that time, the
dog which was called Pomeranian
from its origin in Pomerania, was
a selt-colored dog that weighed 80
or more pounds. Every once in a
while perfectly normal puppy was
whelped which did not grow as large
as the rest of the litter. At first,
these small dogs were destroyed, but
the few which were permitted to
survive caused so much comment
and were so attractive that they
surpassed in interest their larger
litter mates. After the dog shows
were instituted, it was not unusual
to find 30-pound and 16-pound
Pomeranians in the same class. The
smaller dogs were considered real
toys III the third quarter of the 10Th
century.
Royal Kennel Founded.
While few British breeders per-
sisted in raising Pomeranians, the
breed failed to rouse any general
enthusiasm until Queen Victoria
brought home a Fomeranian from
her visit to Florence in 1888. So
attached did her majesty become
to her Pom and the Pom to her
majesty that royal kennel of the
breed was founded. 1t inevitably
followed that the fortunes of the
Pomeranian in the British Isles i'm
mediately looked up. At that time
Miss Hamilton was the principal
breeder of this variety, and it was
not unusual for Miss Hamilton's
and the Queens dogs to share all
the honors at the shows.
1t was not long before a club was
founded for the promotion OF this
breed with Mr.. Marples, publisher
of British Our Dogs, as secretary,
and Improvements in both the
breed and it's fortunes Immediately

began. 1t was found that the
Pomeranian could be bred down to
5 pounds and less in size without
sacrificing beauty of stamina, in
deed, adding to the former. New
colors were evolved, orange, sable,
blue and many shades of existing
colors, so that all fanciers could be
pleased. Proper care of the coat
and breeding for coat quality made
this one of the most Handsomely
dressed breeds in the world. Keen
ness of expression and alertness in
herited from its working ancestors
made this dog more than pam
pered pet.
Separate Classification.
One of the first Pomeranians to
be brought to this country was a
large, sable dog, Ruff1es, which was
shown in England by Miss Barrett
and imported by Mrs. Smyther to
this country. AS far back as 1892
dogs of this breed were shown in
the miscellaneous classes in this
country, but in 1900 they were
given separate classification at the
Westminster show. In 1911 the
American Pomeranian Club held
its first speciality show and has
held one every year since then.
The winner of this years speciality
show, held in conjunction with the
Progressive Dog Club show last
month, was International Cham
pion Wembley Tom Tit, a little
dog that shows how far the Pom
eranian has progressed from its
30-pound ancestors. Mrs H. L.
Bethune of Pittsburgh owns the
little beauty who so we'll exem-
plifies the standard of the breed.
He is compact, short coupled dog
with foxlike, alert head and ex-
preston, tiny, well-set ears and
graceful, buoyant action.
White Ones Seldom Seen.
In the scale of points coat counts
25 and color 10, a large slice of
the 100-point score. In coat, a
long, profuse, double coat is wanted.
The undercoat should be soft and
fluffy, the outer coat very long,
straight glistening and standof.
Around the neck and shoulders a
very heavy name is desirable. On
the hindquarters there should be
profuse breeching and long feathers
on the front legs. The tail should
be very long and fluffy and carried
over the back and fiat to it. Many
colors are permissible but whole
or self colors are preferred. White
spots on colored dogs or colored
patches on white dogs carry heavy
penalties in the show ring. White
Pomeranians are almost never seen
now. While the original specimens
were generally black or brown, the
sables and oranges are now the
most popular colors.

year. This had a total weight of
more than 60,0O0,0OO pounds and
should have paid the Post Office
Department more than $1,000 900.
How does this figure out per
member?
"A little exercise in simple arith-
metic shows that each Congress-
man sent out $1,000 pieces of mail.
Figure out what that should have
cost in postage.
And last year was not an election
year.
IF the past record means any
thing, the figures probably will be
twice as large for 1910.
"And it is just as probable that
two-thirds or more of the franked
political propaganda in favor of
the members reelection will not
be read by anybody.
TT will strike the average citizen
that If Congress is as devoted to
economy as it now poses as being,
it could cut down on its own free
use of the mails without doing any
serious personal or national injury.
"Or it might even limit the frank
ing privilege to what actually is
official business"

pie of Religion, at the New York
Worlds Fair.
An interesting item in connection
with this play concerns the costumes
Mrs. Rand secured for the cast. The
dresses are authentic and original
Holy Land costumes. They once be-
longed to Nine. Mou' tford, a ma
tive of Palestine, who used them in
lectures on that country. They are
over so years old and require con-
siderable care to keep them in good
condition. They were purchased
from their last owner especially for
the play.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rands' home at 1430
Floral street NV. is decorated with
pieces of Mrs. Rands' batik, sup
plemented by other examples Of Jaw
anese handicraft and art. The din
ing room is paneled with batik
which gives it distinctly unusual
touch, and there are various smaller
pieces adorning other walls. She
even uses some of 1t in her play
where design and colors blend well
with the material from Palestine.
Model Yacht Club.
At the December meeting of the
Washington Model Yacht Club the
following officers were elected: Com
modore, J. j. Patrick; vice commo-
dore, j. J. Martin; measurer, A. W.
Greely; secretary, John Edwards.
A schedule of regattas for the next
season was adopted and is available
to any one interested. The club
hopes that this will prevent any con-
f1ict of dates for events next sum-
mer and will result in better at
tendance at races.
The results of the final regatta OF
this season are: Captain, ]. j. Pat
rick, Elwynne II, Washington Club.
40 points; captain, D. B. Perkins,
Cleo II, Baltimore Club, % points;
captain, A. w. Greeley. Madame
Washington, % points: captain, A.
j. Downing, Arlene, Baltimore, 26
points.
Four boats were entered from Bal
timore and five from Washington.
An interesting item about the final
results is that although Mr.. Patrick
had perfect score, the average for
all the Baltimore boats was higher
than for the Washington entries.
Encouraging reports have been re-
ceived on the w. M. Y. G. plan to
aid model yacht building in the
local schools. Conferences have been
held with representatives of McKin-
ley High and Abbott Vocational
schools. Boys in both schools will
be encouraged to build under the
contest terms, and blueprints have
been supplied for their use. Details
are being worked out, and the mem
bers of the w. M. Y. C. Contest
Committee will act as advisers dur
ing constructions.

There can be little argument
about the choice of Young at first
base and Kennedy at third. Young
has helped tighten the Giants de-
Tense and has also been one of
their top thumpers with mid
August average OF around 800.
Kennedy's hitting fell off during
the summer but his fielding has
been good and some say he has
the strongest arm of any third
baseman.
There are three strong second
base contenders. Rowell has out
hit Cuisine and Mack and for a
stretch led his league. However,
he isn't much Of distance
knocker as the others. And both
Mack and Cuisine have driven liz
more runs. Rowell isn't as adept
a fielder as the others although he
is better at making double plays.
Mack's all round ability, along
with his value to pennant con-
tending team, rates him slightly
ahead in our book. Cuisine and
Rowell are too good to be left off
any selection and are named as
utility men. Rowell can serve as
a flychaser, too, for he came up to
the Bees as an outfielder.
Shortstop also presents an argu-
ment, with Joe Orengo of the
Cardinals only a step behind Bou-
dreau and Reese. Reese is gener-
ally accepted around the circuit as
better fielder than Boudreau and
would bring more in the open mar
ket. But Boudreau gets our nod
for these reasons:
He has played the full season,
while Reese was out of many
early games, on the sidelines for
several weeks after being hit on
the head and likely out for the
rest of the season following an in
jury in August. Lou has out-hit
