with stores, houses, gas station,

They have completed about 400 feet
of mainline track and are now at
work on the yards. sidings, etc.
When the present area has been
finished, with scenery all in, they
hope to include another strip about
3 or feet wide along one side of the
original space and there reproduce,
at least in part, the Washington
Terminal.
Among the unusual features of
the road are five dozen scale tele-
graph poles made by the builders.
There is also a two-span truss
bridge and roundhouse, both built
from raw materials, not from kits.
The roundhouse and accompanying
turntable are now being installed.
The rolling stock includes about
80 freight cars of various types and
locomotives. Traffic will be ham

passenger cars.

kept a large kennel of these dogs.
One or more of them was on con-
stant guard no matter where the
king went. More than once Mat
thias owed his life to one OF the
giant white dogs. It Is no wonder
that he kept this breed for the
exclusive use OF his own family. The
presentation of a puppy of this
breed to noble was token Of
especial favor. Commoners were
absolutely forbidden to keep dogs of
this breed if by any chance one did
happen to fall into their hands.
Not only were the kawassz kept as
companions and guards, but they
were trained to hunt. Their massive
size, heavy coats, and yet graceful
agility made them match for any
of the wild animals that preyed on
domestic livestock.
1t is not surprising that dogs Of
such beauty. intelligence and utility
were admired and coveted by the
peasantry. Although the pure breed
ing of these dogs was prescribed and
protected by law, it is not impossible
that few of the common country
dogs of the day and vicinity who
just happened to be in season when
group of kawassz were out on a
hunt were out too. At any rate. the
corruption of "kawassz" is "kavasz,"
and kuvasz means mongrel

the hands of the commoners and
peasants of Hungary for 200 years
or more retain the beauty and type.
as we'll as the courage. intelligence
and loyalty of the ancient kawassz.
Although still large dog as modern
dogs 60. they are not the giants
their forebears were. Instead of
pacing the baronial halls of the
nobility and protecting their masters
from their enemies, they pace the
fields and meadows and protect
their masters f1ocks from enemies
as cunning and vicious. They have
learned the duties Of the herdsman
as well as of the guardian and
hunter, and through all Central
Europe dogs of this type may be
found at work
The standard for the kuvasz calls
for dog standing approximately
q inches or a little more at the
shoulders. He must be sturdily
built, with a strong back, yet light
footed and quick-moving.
The head of the kuvasz should
have broad, fiat skull with but
little stop, and a clean-cut, square
muzzle. The ears should be smallish,
we'll set back and folded close to the
cheeks. There should be no fringe
on them. The eyes should be dark,
of medium size, oblique and set wide
apart. The nose should be black.
A pure white coat, rather long on
the neck and Group. rather wavy on
the sides, should cover a well-ribbed
up body with a broad back, strong
loins, short, strong neck and sloping
shoulders. Strong bone, deep, broad
chest and good running gear are all
essential to a good specimen of the
J kuvasz family.

By r. r. Taynfon.

Out near Chevy Chase Circle
there is big white dog known to
all the residents of the vicinity as
Ninky. He is the self-appointed
nursemaid of all the youngsters and
the playfellow of all the little boys
in the neighborhood. They do not
realize that when he comes home
for the night he is as fierce watch
dog as was ever whelped. The
would-be marauder is warned off
his estate by deep-toned growl
that is as menacing as the roar
of lion. Should the marauder
persist, there is no telling what his
fate might be, but there is no doubt
that Ninky's masters property
would be safe in every way.
Ninky is the property Of DR..
Frank Hood Shultz of Brookeville
road and one of the exceeding rare
members Of the kuvasz breed In
this country. His registered name
is Sultan of Romance, and he comes
from the Romance Kennels of Mr..
and Mrs. J. Scofield Rowe, the only
kennels devoted to this breed in
the United States.
1t is comparatively few years since
this breed of dog was introduced
to this country. Ninky's grandsire,
Rigoletto, was the first kuvasz to
enter the United States. The story
goes that the establishment of a
kennel of this breed is due to the
effects of the depression. Having
left Hungary to escape oppression,
Rigoletto's owners found that de-
preston had struck this country
and it was impossible for them to
feed their pet adequately. A classi-
fled advertisement in a New York
paper brought an interested pur-
chaser. Intrigued by the beauty
and the authenticated history of
this dog, the purchaser finally sue
ceeded in importing a mate for
Rigoletto and established the Ro-
nance Kennels.
In 1888, a year or so after the
establishment of the kennels, this
breed was recognized by the Amer
ican Kennel Club and admitted to
the stud book. However, but few of
these dogs have been registered to
date. There are probably less than
20 in the whole country, and of that
number more than half are still on
the Madison, N. j., estate OF the
j. Scof1eld Rowes.
However. while the history of the
breed may be short and compare
lively eventless in this country. in
its native land the kuvasz may be
traced for many centuries. Original

type, the kuvasz halls from Tibet.

place them with a more desirable
type In the near future. The re-
placements probably will be Pa
cifics. However, if 1t is still possible
to obtain them. they may buy some

of which already has been in salts

They have some per cent grades
on the road and a large freight
engine. such as the mountain type,
would certainly be suitable for the
job.
1t is interesting to note the oc-
cupations of the builders. Ray
Matson is a mechanical engineer
and patent attorney. He builds the
bridges and trestles. He also has
been mostly responsible for the con-
struction OF the town. Bill Casady
is dentist. They call him their
master mechanic, as he repairs the
locos, ailing switches. and SO forth.
Ed Jones Is doctor and he spe-
cializes in taking the kinks out of
the track and general fine repair
work. They work together on all
phases of the construction, however

Anv one visiting the Rosedere
Kennels, on Lee highway beyond
the Falls Church traffic light, knows
how Gulliver felt among the Lilli-
putians. Miss Dorothy Hunt, an
Englishwomen whose early years ac-
customed her to dogs ranging IN
size from bulldog to st. Bernard,
now specializes in toy breeds, which
she believes most fitted to our re-
stricted modern life. Her Kennels
are alive with tiny Pekes and Poms
and toy fox terriers, all scampering
back and forth together in apparent
perfect harmony.
A newcomer among the Pome-
ranians Rosedere's predominatlng
breeds the Canadian stud and
show dog, Wee Black Rascal. win

best male and best of breed at Ham
ilton. Ontario, in May. The first
two lltters from this imported 3'4-
pound stud are due shortly. An
other stud, Lindy's Black Rascal,
is a son of Champion Kelvin Sambo,
while very striking in his coloring
is Bogota Orange Pit, red son OF
Champion Wonder Son. According
to Miss Hunt, Poms show more COL
ors than any other breed, IA distinct
shades being permitted. Hers go
from palest cream through goid'
orange, red and chocolate to black,
and among her puppies she has two
rare wolf sables," a beautifully
marbled and unusual coat.
