Successful Results Reported
In Operations for Deafness

operations, DR.. Ersner said, include
a 48-year-old woman, for 10 years
able to hear only shouted con-
versation, who now can hear ordi-
nary tones, and 22-year-old girl,
deaf since IA, who can now hear a
whisper.
Further research, he added, may
disclose a way of preventing any
relapse, which he said was caused
by new bones forming and closing
the new window.
The operation is useless for types
of deafness in which the hearing
nerve Is affected.

stayed home. Recently, just to make
an entry at a nearby show, Annie
was put in the ring. She surprised
her mistress by coming out Of it with
the winners ribbon for Scottish ter
riers and second place in tho terrier
group. The question now before
the house is whether to start a 7
year-old dog on an active show
career.
Philadelphia and Camden make q
double header next Saturday and
Sunday, % and "a. These shows
need no introduction to nearby
fanciers. They always draw large
entries from hereabouts and always
have something extra with which to
draw them. The bulldog entry at
the Philadelphia show particularly
is the largest Of the year anywhere,
exceeding both Westminster and
Morris and Essex. It is sponsored
by the Philadelphia Bulldog Club,
which considers the classes at this
show its speciality. They expect an
entry of 200 dogs this year in this
breed. Since they have generally
filled their quotas In the past, it is
not unlikely that even this high
goal will be reached.
The coming of the Christmas
season renews interest in dogs as
presents for children. In q number
of cases dogs have been prescribed
by physicians for nervous or shy
children, since it has been found
that the companionship and in
terest in dog develops poise, initia-
tive and stamina in such children.
However, it is not generally known
what keen interest many children
take in the various phases Of dog
sports. In this vicinity are q num-
Der of children who have developed
interest in showing, handling and
training dogs and have made as
good records. in their chosen
branches as their parents. Gene
Scaggs can give her professional
handler father q run for his money
in any adult competition, given as
good a dog to handle. Betty Lee
Kinks Is another girl who has won
first prizes not only In children's
handling classes, but also in regular
competition against adult handlers.
Louis Cornet is boy who has given
good account of himself in the boys
classes. The two Brady girls have
made outstanding records In the
obedience test classes at all the
leading shows with their standard
poodle4 which they trained and put
through their PAGES without benefit
Of adult interference.

some member missing, no further
proof was needed.
It is claimed that the monk,
Wenceslas, first wrote the tale OF
how the schipperke lost its tail, way
back in the 14th century. According
to an amusing little poem on the
subject by Miss Ormiston. it was due
to the thieving propensities Of one
little skip and the jealousy between
rival dog owners.
Outstanding In Breed.
Schipperkes have been giving good
account of themselves in the
obedience test rings as well as on
the show benches of this country.
Mrs. Albert Franks little dog,
Jacominte de Raime, started her
training with the Capital dog train
ing class and has proven herself .
very apt pupil. She has acquired
the companion dog and companion
dog excellent degrees and Is now
preparing for the utility dog degree,
highest one offered. At the recent
National Capital all-breed sanction
match she gave an excellent exhibi-
ton of scent discrimination, which
Is one of the tests for this degree.
An outstanding member Of the
breed Is Ch. Maroufke of Kelso, twice
best Of breed at Morris and Essex,
as well as at Ladies Kennel Associa-
ton, Orange, Greenwich, Middlesex,
Devon and Somerset Hills. That his
quality is not accidental is attested
by his breeding. He Is . son Of Oh.
Marouf Of Kelso and Ch. Arlette Of
Kelso. His grandsire was the i'm
ported Ch. Max de Veeweyde, one
of the pillars Of the breed in this
country.
Small EArs.
Maroufke illustrates the standard
Of the breed which calls for . dog
under 18 pounds and solid black in
color. Some full-grown specimens
weigh only II or II pounds. The
bone should be in proportion, ap-
pearing neither heavy nor light for
the size of the dog. The head Of the
schipperke should be foxlike, fairly
wide in skull and tapering to the
muzzle, which should be neither too
heavy nor snipy. There should be
a very slight stop and the eyes
should be oval in shape and brown
in color. The ears should be small,
erect and pointed, closer together
at the points than at the bases
when the dog is at attention.
In body the schipperke should ap-
pear rather heavier in front than
behind and q little higher in front
than at the rear. This effect is pro-
duced by the outstanding run and
jabot. The hair on the body Of the
dog Is not as long as either the run
or the culottes, but should be
moderately harsh to the touch. A
wooly undercoat provides all-year
weather protection. A short, thick
set, COLBY body, with q deep, broad
chest, well-tucked-up loin and
muscular underpinning make q little
dog that is good for full days work
or fun
Evening star., 1940-11-17

It Is interesting to note that the
fanciers of the schipperke claim this
breed is a miniature of the groenen-
dali the Belgian breed of shepherd,
lust as the Shetland sheepdog
fanciers claim that theirs Is q
miniature of the collie, the Scotch
breed Of shepherd. And the fanciers
of both breeds claim for their dogs
all the virtues of their large proto-
types with the additional advantage
Of small size.
r. Isabel Omissions recent book,
"The Schipperke," is subtitled "The
Best All-Around Small Dog" which
indicates the opinion OF at least
one fancier on the subject. That
she is not alone In that opinion Is
shown by the enthusiastic COM
ments Of many others who have
owned and bred schipS. Their
loyalty and guarding instinct is
augmented by keen noses, lively
curiosity and great courage, traits
which enable them to perform their
guard duties more efficiently and
allow them to undertake other
duties such as rat killing at which
they are said to be very proficient.
Little Shippers.
Schipperkes pronounced skeep-
er-kers) owe their name to M.
Reusens, owner of q barge line in
Belgium, who was very fond Of the
breed, and did much to organize
the first Schipperke Club. He
noticed that many of the barges in
his line as well as others carried q
schipperke which seemed to guard
and generally supervise boat, cargo
and crew. In other words, the little
dogs acted as If they considered
themselves the little shippers or
captains Of the barges.
Because M. Reusens was owner OF
q barge line, and because he was 50
active in promoting his favorite
breed, the members Of the Belgian
Schipperke Club, upon organiza-
ton in 1888, gave their favorites the
oficial title of schipperkes. Previous
to that date they had been called,
spitzke. And even today, so years
and more since the name was
omcially changed, the poorer people
Of Belgium and Flanders still call
their little dogs spitzke.
Tailless Dogs.
There are many legends which
antedate the formation of the
Belgian schipperke Club. 1t is said
that William the Silent had two
dogs Of this breed as his constant
companions, and that on more than
one occasion they saved his life
by giving alarm and even by attack
ing his would-be assassins. The
Spanish ascribed his immunity to
their attacks to his relationship with
the devil. For proof they cited his
constant companions, the tailless
dogs. Since 1t was a matter of COM
mon belief that the devil assumed
the guise Of black dog on many
occasions, particularly q dog with

A responsive chord is struck by
this letter recently received from
a reader:
IT have q little dog as cute as
can be-he waggles his head and
tail until they meet. We call him
Bushie. One day my little grand
daughter lost her most valuable
bracelet. We looked for 1t three
days. It had been raining all night
and in the morning as we came
down to breakfast, who greeted us
but Bushie and in his mouth he
held the lost bracelet. We asked
him where he got it, he went out
into the yard and there IN the dirt
was the mark of the bracelet.
my sister was coming home and
at the foot of the hill she dropped
one of her new gloves. Bushie was
waiting on the top step for the
children to come home from school.
He Immediately ran down to the
foot Of the hill, picked up the glove,
ran upstairs and gave 1t to my
sister. Now the very best chair in
the house is none too good for
Bushie-he has won his way into
the hearts Of every one"
(signeO Angela McHugh Barr.
Dear little Bushie: Here is dog
that is spreading the gospel of love
for dogs without benefit of publicity
or fanfare. He probably has never
been to q dog show or had obedience
training. Possibly his pedigree is a
secret known only to his maker.
But he knows, as all good little dogs
know, how to win friends and in
huence people. His creed is to give
service in greater measure than one
can expect.
At the recent show of the Pro-
gressive Dog Club in New York, big
event of the year for the toy dog
fraternity, Mr.. and Mrs. Habicht Of
Cottage City, Md, were the con-
ouering heroes in toy Manchesters.

ing on his 36th.
Mr.. Tormey lives In an apartment,
and with the limited space available
under those conditions, his choice
Of Q hobby was . fortunate one,
since 1t requires but little room. He
works on q desk in his bedroom and
stores the products of his labor in
cardboard boxes. A knife is his
chief and almost only tool. This
versatile instrument Is occasionally
supplemented by sandpaper, and
still less frequently by a small saw.
The main construction material is
cardboard. This is cleverly wrought
into miniature houses, decorated
and embellished by q variety Of
materials.
White Bungalow.
Paper. celluloid, sandpaper, wood
(chiefly balsa), felt and paint about
completes the list OF additional ma
terials. The paint for these houses
Is kept in . cabinet which looks
like q very small suitcase. Mr.. Tor
mey said that he spreads newspaper
on the desk when he starts work,
and when it's time to stop he sim
ply rolls up the paper. with all
waste material inside, and all Is
shipshape again.
Among the SO buildings Mr.. Tor
mey has constructed some have been
copied from actual structures. The
little white bungalow shown in the
picture above Is modelled after one
owned by the lobbyists daughter

Construction Details.
Some Of Mr.. Tormey's houses are
copied from designs seen in maga-
zines and newspapers, and others
are purely his own creations. There
is . model hospital which has tiny
beds on the balconies. There is q

Best Seen ~ Group.
The general effect Of q group Of
these colorful little buildings defies
mere words. They must be seen to
be appreciated. Although many of
them are excellent jobs individually.
they are at their best in . group,
where the contrast Of shape and
color enhances the appearance, and
is eloquent testimony to the taste,
artistic sense and ability of the
builder.
Mr.. Tormey is employed as night
manager Of large apartment build
ing, and does most Of his sleeping
in the daytime. He finds that the
construction Of these small struc-
lures Is . fine spare time activity.
1t does not require . large amount
of equipment or . great deal OF
space.
Yacht Contest.
The Washington Model Yacht
Club. through . committee composed
Of w. c. Schlaefer, K. Baumgarten
and ]. T. Edwards. recently made an
offer to the District School Board to
sponsor model yacht building con-
test in the local schools. Terms Of
the offer are contained in q letter
sent to an assistant superintendent
Of schools. If accepted, this plan
would provide fine instruction and
help for many potential lobbyists
among Washington boys, in addition
to any aid 1t might give them in
their school work.
The idea is to sponsor . contest
for students Letween II and II years
Of age who already have some slight
skill or training in the use Of tools.
The w. M. Y. c. would furnish plans
for q 36-inch restricted class. model
yacht. The contestants would build
up the hull only to the stated
specifications. (The design Is such
as to reduce the cost of materials
to what seems q very reasonable
figure) The hulls would be judged
by . committee Of the w. M. Y. c.
The winners would receive as prizes
sets, or parts Of sets, Of fittings and
sails designed to complete or help
complete their models, or books on
the subject, together with junior
memberships in the w. M. Y. c.
The club hopes that plans may be
worked out whereby instructors in
the school shops will cooperate in
this contest. There should be many
boys in the Washington schools who
would welcome this chance Of expert
assistance IN building . model which
can really be sailed.
