A Dog Lovers Notebook

on and about dogs, collected by the
late Prof. Will S. Monroe, who dur
ing his lifetime was one of the most
colorful figures in purebred dog
circles. Each volume carries his per-
sonal bookplate as executed by S.
Edwin Megargee; it shows the heads
of five of Prof. Monroe's dogs, and
the legend Dedicated to the Dogs
Of COUGHING Lion Farm"
DR.. Monroe's favorite breed, in
his later years. was the Great
Pyrenees, but his inseparable COM
panion was Scottie, a collie, Of
whom friend once wrote: "Scottie
lives with Prof. Monroe at the foot
of COUGHING Lion, in the Green
Mountains of Vermont. Every night
at 8 O'Clock he walks into the middle
of the living room and gives a big
yawn. Well says Monroe. "Scottie
is sleepy and always go to bed
when Scottie goes This is the
accepted signal for all guests to
retire. Scottie rises at 6. So,
therefore, does Monroe. So, like
wise, do all his guests"
A great woodsman, Monroe built
his own trail to the top of the
mountain and called 1t the Scottie
trail. The pool in his garden was
the Scottie pool. Now the collie
and his master are immortalized
together in the collection at the
A. K. c. Library in New York.

some more dependable means of
earning living. Almost by acci-
dent, he took the examination for
letter carrier, not expecting any
thing to come of 1t. Much to his
surprise he was offered a job as
postman, which he took, and has
today.
He was not then a model builder
and only began to be interested
when his son. then In sechool. began
to build models of boats. As time
passed the two modelers grew more
skillful at their hobbies and the son.
Gordon Drummond, won a college
scholarship for an old-time coach
model he constructed. He went
through the University of Michigan
and later helped to build one of the
model exhibits at the New York
Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Drummond. ST.. also has be-
come modeler of considerable re-
nown. His replica of the battleship
Texas has been shown in news reels
all over the country. This model,
which was completed about three
years ago, has hull of 22-gauge
steel. with welded joints. The super
structure is of wood and metal, with
practically all the parts made in Mr..
Drummond's basement workshop.
The 14-inch guns, in the main bat
terry, are lathe turned from alumni
mum stock. The ship is powered by
a two-cylinder steam engine. one of
the few parts not built by the owner.
The Texas was built from plans
appearing in Popular Science
Monthly. Mr.. Drummond first built
a three-foot model without engines,
which he sold. He then decided to
make one large enough to sail, and
the present one is to a scale of "a
inch to / foot, being about feet
long.
Mr.. Drummond's latest creation
Is model of the Queen Mary, also
6 feet long, on a scale of 1-10" to
L O.. The ship itself has
been completed. but the motor, also
a steamplant, has not yet been in
stalled. In this case the builder
has made the motor himself, and
is only buying the boiler. These
mtors operate on 80 pounds steam
pressure, and the two-cylinder en-
gine turns up about 600 rpm.
The hull of the Queen Mary is
of wood, with the topsides of metal,
just the reverse of that on the
Texas. The window openings in
the metal superstructure of the
Queen Mary were all punched by
a punch and die made by Mr..
Drummond. All of the 1,100 port
holes in its sides are water tight.
The ventilators actually operate to
carry air down into the hold to
cool the power plant.
The plans for this model were
obtained direct from the builders
of the prototype in England, and
the model is painted red. black and
white as the original was before

the war. Mr.. Drummond says he
Is not at war with any one and
sees no reason for gray paint on
his ship. The Queen Mary has re-
quired about three years to build.
Mr.. Drummond has also made
various other. less pretentious mod
els, one being a two-masted schoon-
er. The table on his sun porch Is
guarded by two brass cannon, one
a replica of the type used on the
Frigate Constitution, and the 9TH
er copy of one Of the field pieces
used at the battle of Gettysburg.
Both Of these pieces were made en-
tirely by Mr.. Drummond, even to
the wooden spoked wheels with
metal tires, on the Civil War can
non. The field gun is about u
inches long over all, and the naval
piece inches.
On this same table there is a
lamp. the standard of which rep
resents the base of a mast on a
ship. It is complete with fire rails,
Delaying pins and cordage. It's the
finest lamp Of this type I've seen
so far The shop where all these
were built contains a metal turn
ing lathe (on which he also turns
wood, drill press, band saw and
bench saw. And, of course, there's
a large assortment of hand tools.
The owner of all these is also some-
thing of a camera fan, as many
model craftsmen are. He has taken
some fine pictures of his models.
Mr.. Drummond is a member OF
the Ship Model Builders Club OF
Washington. Most of the members
Of this organization specialize in the
collecting and construction of ex-
hibition models and data concerning
them. The club secretary is A. c.
Wagner. 1880 Evarts street NE, Ho-
bart 1854. They meet on the second
Tuesday in each month, except July
and August.
The District of Columbia Chapter
Of the Electric Railroad Association

its recent meeting at the home OF

elected president, and the retiring

vice president. Henry Leimbach, jr.,

Investment Trust
Methods al Hearinq
Tell Senators Federal
Regulation Would Have
Averted Huge Losses
BY the Associated Press.

.
Witnesses with direct experience
in untangling the snarled affairs of
what they termed looted" invest
ment trusts testified before a Sem
ate banking subcommittee yester-
day that Federal regulation of such
institutions could have prevented
losses to the public running into
millions of dollars.
Alfred A. Cook, attorney for the
trustee of Continental Securities
Co., and Hugh Fulton, a special
assistant United States district at
torney, told the committee OF
fraud" and "razzle- dazzle" meth
ods which they attributed to GER
tain investment trust promoters
and operators.
Specific Cases Cited.
Agreeing with Senator Wagner.
Democrat of New York, whose bill
to regulate investment trusts and
investment companies occasioned
the hearing, that many such insti-
tutions are honestly and efficiently
managed for the public benefit, the
witnesses cited the cases of the
Continental and the Insurance
Shares Corp, however, as examples
Of the need for Government SUPER
vision.
In the former case, Mr.. Cook tes.
tilted, efforts at criminal prosecu-
ton for larceny resulted in acquit-
tails, while Mr.. Fulton related the
story of prosecutions that resulted
IN several convictions connected
with insurance shares operation.
Proposed Moves Praised.
Without commenting on the pro-
posed legislation generally, the wit
nesses praised provisions which
would require consent of common
stockholders to certain transactions
and disclosure Of specified matters
Mr.. Fulton told the committee it
was very difficult" to conduct GRIM
inal prosecutions for investment
trust mismanagement under the
present law because it was necessary
to show that criminal intent, not an
honest mistake in judgment, was
involved.
