West opened a small spade,
which South won with the ten
and led the ten of diamonds
and allowed West to win with the
jack. This was strategic play, as it
enabled declarer on the third lead
of diamonds to discard his losing
heart After doing this he played
the ace of spades from dummy and
then another diamond, disposing of
a worthless club. West trumped and
had the queen of spades remaining.
If he led heart South would win
with his ace and play his king of
spades, catch the queen Of trumps
and make his contract by yielding
three clubs After trumping the
diamond, West boldly led the ace of
clubs from his ace-queen. Next he
laid down his queen of clubs, which
East took and led the jack. This
card held the trick and he led a
fourth club. Declarer was then
helpless. If he trumped low, West
would overtrump with the queen.
If he trumped with the king, Vests
queen was good. He was thus set

V-shaped, folded forward: the teeth
should be white and level.
The neck of the fox terrier should
be of fair length and well arched,
free from throatiness and widening
into long, sloping shoulders. The
chest should be deep, but not broad.
The back should be short and level.
The loins and hind quarters must
be strong and muscular.
Legs and feet in the fox terrier
are very important. The front legs
must be straight, the hind legs with
well-bent hooks and near the
ground. Feet should be small,
round and well padded.
In color the fox terrier should be
at least so per cent white, although
heavily hound-marked dogs are
often in favor Hound patches on
the body cut the apparent length Of
back. Markings of black and tan
are acceptable, while gray. red or
liver are not. Both nose and eyelids
should be black, whatever the color
Of the dog. The coat of the wire
hair should be close lying, dense and
wiry to the touch, with no sugges-
ton of wooliness or sickness any.

Fox Terrier Club holds a speciality
show each year in New York on the
day preceding Westminster and
another in connection with the great
Morris and Essex show.
Like all speciality clubs, the Fox
Terrier Club writes and guards the
standard of the breed it represents.
This standard was first written in
1876 and has never been changed,
although casual glance at the pic
ture of the 16 dogs from Old Tip to
Talavera Simon reveals how greatly
the breed has changed in that time.
Yet, so cleverly worded is this stand
ard, which is the breed ideal, that,
although succeeding generations of
dogs come closer and closer to this
ideal, there has not yet been any
need of changing the standard.
Breed Specifications.
The head of the fox terrier should
be long and lean, free from domi-
ness and cheekiness. It should be
we'll balanced, which means that
the length of the skull from occipi-
tai bone to inner corner of the eye
should equal the length of the muz-
zle from eye to nose. The jaws
should be long and of Furnishing
strength, the eye should be small

Coming Shows

The latest word from Morris and
Essex is that 80 speciality clubs have
designated their classes at this show
as their annual specialties. OF this
number, 80 are national associations.
These clubs provide a substantial
part of the $4,000 prize money
which is annually awarded at this
fixture.
The Dachshund Club Of America
is by far the largest contributor to-
ward this record purse. Its share,
combined with that offered by the
Morris and Essex Club, totals 81 200,
which is put in competition for the
three coats Of dog without any re-
strictions. This sum is greater than
the amount put up by many all
breed shows In the country.
Under these circumstances, It II
not to be wondered at that Morris
and Essex draws entries from all
over the United States, as well a.
from Canada and some European
countries.

one trick, although his refusal to
overtake the jack on his first lead Of
diamonds was an excellent play and
would in most circumstances have
enabled him to make the contract.
The moral is never to be discouraged
when the opposition is contracting
with q part score to make game and
rubber on a bid of two. The proper
defense may defeat the contract at
that level.
Last week concluded the final
game of the Roosevelt Hotel series
for the newspaper trophy offered
through william Cheeks, the dupli-
cate manager. It was won for the
second time by Morris Portugal. In
the next series the winners and

forthcoming Annapolis tournament.

required to participate in at least
four of six games with at least two
different partners. Players contest

and Oscar Brotman, third.
The Rajahs retained their posi-

and hope to repeat their victories in
the coming matches.
There will be four major cham
pionship titles, all Of which will be
defended by local players. On the
opening day the women's pair cham
pionship game will be played for the
Edith Swanson Trophy. It will be a

championship on Saturday will be
played for the Richmond News
Leader Trophy, won last year by AL
Roth and w. M. Mcintyre. There
will be two sessions of this event,
but all contestants will enter for both
OF them. For those who fail to quail
ify in the opening round there will
be a special consolation game in the
evening, played simultaneously with
the championship final.
The team of -four game for the
Schwarzchild Eros. Trophy will be
held on Sunday in two sessions. Last
year this prize also was captured
by Washington players, the honor
going to Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Stock

1t is seldom that a side holding
five high card tricks with seven
trumps in the two hands, two of
them the aceand king, cannot make
q part score Of two. Super playing
and daring defense is needed to de-
feat such hand, especially when
both declarer and his partner are
experts. In the hand given below,
Warren Jones and Mr.. Mcintyre
were North and South against Mrs.
Elwyne Brown and Morris Portugal
In a rubber game at the Cheeks
Studio. North was dealer, and his
side was vulnerable and had a part
score Of 40. He opened the bidding
with q diamond and his partner in
South responded with spade. West
passed and Mr.. Jones bid one no
trump. This was not enough for
game, and the bid did not look good
to Mr.. Mcintyre so he called two
spades. East and West had made
no bid and the contract looked safe.

for Princeton Grey Eagle. stud dog

Church, imported from England,

Fellow was attacked by yellow
jackets, several hundred attaching
themselves to his unfortunate per-
son, packing his sensitive ears.
stinging him around the nose and
eyes and all over his body. 1t was
only because of the gentlest and
most unwearying care that Mrs.
Lucas pulled him through.
For three months Fellow had
daily oil packs, his coat growing
steadily thicker and more matted,
and he was not only uncomfortable,
but ashamed and Inundated by his
unnatural state. When Mrs. Lucas
finally set the detected dog on the
table to strip. she had to shear him
inch by inch. the hair coming away
like thick layer of harsh felt. At
each stroke Fellow perked up that
much more, and when he was final
ly rid of the matted coat his graft
tude was pathetic.
Mrs. Lucas, who enjoys the dis
tinction of being Virginia's only
breeder of this unusual type of ter
rier, hopes to be able to take Grey
Eagle and others from her kennels
on the spring circuit, starting with

vent new British orders for about

Duntly's defense program, the
United Press learned today.
The request for coordination OF
the British orders with this coun-
try's demands was made by army
air corps officials who feared that
the new orders might tie up pro-
auction channels. 1t was the first
time such a request has been taken
directly to the defense council.
Knudsen's associates said he eX-
pressed willingness to undertake
coordination of the orders and that
he believed no serious &fficulties
would be encountered.
