Recently I visited q small worl
shop on the top floor of business
building on X street NV, where
Ray Meier and Harold Tanquary,
two members Of the Washington
Model Power Boat Club, build their
small craft. This shop is one answer
to q question confronting many
apartment dwellers. We frequently
read of the devices resorted to by
some of them in an effort to pursue
various handicraft hobbies. Such
schemes as keeping their tools in the
kitchen stove, and using the oven
door for a work bench. Or much
more elaborate methods, like build
ing pseudo-cedar chests, which are
50 constructed as to open out into
work bench, complete with racks
Of tools, vises, etc. But all Of these
artifices have definite limitations.
probably the most important Of
which is the fact that no machine
driven tools of any size can be used.
Ray and Harold have overcome this
disadvantage by establishing their
shop outside of their apartments.
Ray Meier is an instrument maker
in the optical shop at the Washing
ton Navy Yard. and a very good
machinist, too. John Pendleton says
Of him, Ray will turn out a piece
Of work, and make it look 50 easy,
and III 60 back to my shop and
try the same thing and I can't do it
at all"
Meier has been interested in
power boat models since 1885, and
was one of the founders OF the local
club. He completed his first boat,
and made his first run, In 1898. He
prefers class A boats, but since
most OF the Washington fellows build
In class D, Ray builds in both Sizes
The more boats there are in a class
the more fun it is. The class A
boats are rather too large to suit
most people. the rule calling for a
model not over Is pounds in weight
and with a piston displacement of
80 cubic centimeters. This makes a
board around three feet in length,
and, of course. more expensive to
build than the little fellows. Meier
says he likes the higher speeds the
AS are capable of, however.
Tanquary is a comparatively new
member of the club, having Just
joined last winter. Nevertheless, he
is quite active and has been racing
with the best of them this season
His class D boat hit something in
the water over at Baltimore couple

Something unique in pedigrees Is
that of six thriving boxer pups
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. R. G.. Bar
ton of Glenelg, Md. Both the par
ents are champions. and for three
generations on each side, all the
forebears are champions also. The
dam is Oh. Eta of Barmere. whose
picture illustrates a number of
volumes as one of the great con-
temporary examples of the breed.
She is the only living bitch by
international Oh. Sigurd Won Dom
of Barmere (said by many to be the
greatest boxer of all time) out of
Oh. Paddy Won Hoheneuffen of Bar
mere. The sire of the puppies is
Oh. Kniff v. d. Blutenau. He is by
Oh. Lustig Won Dom, and his dam
is'Ch. Cova v. d. Blutenau. Behind
these are still other champions,
making the pups impressively blue
blooded.
Eta won her title in q brief and
brilliant show career. She not only
was frequently best of breed but
was the first American-bred boxer
bitch to place in the working group.
This is her first litter under the
Barton's ownership.
Additions to the miniature
schnauzer kennels of Capt and Mrs.
Edward M. Perkins of Falls Church,
Va, finds the family enthused over
all new dogs but divided as to the
favorites. The captain focuses his
devotion upon puppy he has just
acquired as future show prospect.
A son of Oh. Kubla Khan of Mar
ienhof, the pup probably will come
out at the fall shows, although his
owners Army duties makes all plans
tentative. Mrs. Perkins, running
the house and the kennels during
her husbands absence, is most ex-
cited over q new litter Of homebreds,

time after his importation by Mrs.
Sherman r. Hoyt, he topped the
Westminster Kennel Club show, all
breeds, the first and so far the only
time this breed has gone best in
show at the Garden.
However, he came to this country
with record of show winning that
made him easily the outstanding
poodle of the world. He was bred at
the Labory Kennels in Switzerland
and purchased by Miss Lane of the
Nunsoe Kennels in England as the
top poodle of Europe. He had
proved his worth by acquiring the
championship title in Switzerland
and France. Under Miss Lanes
ownership, he quickly acquired an
English title, then was sold to Mrs.
Hoyt for record price, but not be-
fore string five litters in England.
In this country, "the Duke" was
Just as sensational as he had been
in England. His feat in topping
Westminster was only one of chain
Of wins. Shown 18 times, he was
best of breed 18 times, best in group
16 times and best In show, all breeds,
8 times.
The Dukes record as a sire has
been almost as sensational as his
show career. In his first American
litter, bred to German Oh. Nellie
v. d. Schneeflocke, he sired a litter
of five. all of which have become
champions, and two of which,
Blakeen Jung Frau and Blakeen
Eiger, have continued to make
poodle history. Eiger has to his
credit IA best in shows, 46 groups,
best transporting dog in 1899 and a
number of other honors.
Jung Frau's record includes 10
best In shows, 40 groups, best Ameri-
can bred, all breeds. in 1888, and best
in show, all breeds, at Morris and
Essex this year with an entry of
1000 dogs.
The uninformed person may refer
to the poodle in scofdng terms, but
his attitude indicates ignorance. The
poodle is one of the most ancient of
breeds. Even the style in which he
Is customarily clipped is matter of
custom dating back many centuries.
In 1890 Pinturiccio painted series
of pictures OF Patient Griselda,
which shows her with toy member
of the poodle family clipped in
typical poodle style. Early in the
18th century, Martin de Vaux paint
ed Tobit and his dog, showing
standard poodle clipped in the fash
ion that is still de rigeur.
This business of clipping may sug-
gest the clown and the useless fri
volities of fashion to the uninitiate,
but there is sound common sense
back Of the style. Strange as it may
seem, the poodle is primarily SPORT
inEx dog. Long ages ago, he was
bred to hunt and to retrieve ducks
from the icy water.

The strike, which brought work

For Citizens Not to Heed

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, Aug. 6.-Montreal's
Mayor, Camillien Houde, outspoken
opponent of conscription, has been
interned under the war measures
act, the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police announced today.
He was taken into custody at the
City Hall late last night, three days
after he handed Montreal news
papermen an initiated statement
asking the population not to comply
with compulsory national registra-
ton scheduled to start August 10.
Submits Quietly.
Royal Canadian mounted police
and Quebec provincial police CO.
operated in making the arrest.
Houde submitted quietly when police
surrounded him as he left the City
Hall. He was removed to mounted
police headquarters and questioned
for IS minutes, then taken to an
undisclosed camp for internment.
Justice Minister Ernest Lapointe
and other Canadian authorities
withheld comment today on the
Mayors arrest and internment.
His internment presumably is for
the duration of the war.
Opposition Leader r. B. Hanson
charged in the House of Commons
Saturday that Houde had "openly
defied the law of Canada"
Mandate on Draft Denied.
Houde's statement expressed his
belief that the Dominion Parliament
has no mandate to vote conscrip-
tion," and went on:
Il do not myself believe that
am held to conform to the said
law and have no intention of so
doing, and I ask the population
not to conform, knowing full well
what I am doing presently, and
to what I expose myself"
The Mayor, who will be 81 years
old next Tuesday, first took pub
lie stand on conscription in March
1899, when he promised French
Canadian student demonstrators
from the University of Montreal he
would take the lead in defending
them against unnecessary partici-
patton in wars beyond Canada s
frontiers.
