moderately short, he stands so as
to cover lot of ground His head
is heavier in both skull and muzzle
and is more rounded than is that of
the pointer. His ears are medium
long, bluntly rounded, set high. His
neck appears more muscular and
shorter than that of his cousin. The
tail is docked.
While he may not be as graceful
In appearance as the English
pointer, he is built for utility and
stamina. His shorter legs do not
tire as rapidly as those Of the
pointer. His broad, deep chest pro-
vides enough heart and lung room
to keep the mechanism functioning
during long hours OF strain.
All pointers descend from or
were developed from a breed that
was native to Spain. The ancestor
of the modern pointing breeds was
a rather heavy dog, more similar to
some of our present hounds than to
the dogs we now call pointers. Their
heads were rather thick. their bodies
COLBY, their legs medium in length
and heavy boned. Their naturally
keen noses and their native habit
of pointing without training made
them valuable dogs for the hunters,
who took specimens of the breed
with them into England and Ger

tries. Pictures painted prior to
1850 show dogs Of this type all over
Continental Europe.

Pictures of pointers painted in
the 18th and 18 centuries in Eng
land also show dogs similar in con-
formation to the Spanish pointers.
Early in the 18th century, the Eng

forebears. With their passion for
livestock improvement. the English

A recent news note from Ger
many states that new laws have
been passed which make dog meat
a legal food for humans and SUBJ
ject to sanitary inspection as are
other, more usual kinds of meat
Regardless of political connotations
this use of mans best friend" in
a country which has until recently
been considered one of the most
civilized in the world, seems like
another reversion to barbarity.
Dogs are highly esteemed in many
countries as articles of human diet
But in these countries dogs are
raised as are cattle, with no hui
manizing touches. Nor are the dog
eaters people who concern them
selves with the fine points of breed
ing and the perfection of various
dog breeds. Only one country that
produces dogs for meat, China, has
bothered to raise pure-bred dogs
or has produced dogs that have
been adopted in other countries for
their intrinsic attractiveness and
virtues.
In the case of China, the lead
ing breed developed by that coun-
try, the Pekingese, was a dog OF
the nobility who constituted prac-
tically separate race from the
rest of the country. The Pekingese
was never used for food. In the
case of the chow chow, the So
called edible dog, its basic type is
probably due to lack of interest and
lack of opportunity of its peasant
breeders to cross it with other
breeds. China now does not have
as good specimens of either breed
as may be found in this country.
In a tire store on Pennsylvania
avenue there may be seen pile OF
old papers swept into a pile in one
corner. The otherwise tidy appear
ance of the store makes this pile
all the more conspicuous and rouses
the curiosity of the beholder. A
rustling in the pile adds to its mys-
terry. A sudden noise in the back
of the store solves the mystery. The
pile Of old tire wrappings is the
cherished bed and cave Of Bob, a
liver and white pointer now ap-
preaching his 18th birthday ami
versary. In his heyday Bob was
quite q dog. His pedigree carries
the names of some of the great
field trial dogs of the South. He
addde luster to the record Of his
sires by his own achievements at
the largest field trials. His great
est happiness, however, came not
from the excitement and glory OF
the public trials. but from long days
In the country spent with his master
To his old ears, the rustling of
the papers in the pile must bring
back echoes of the leaves in the
autumn woods. 1t Is possible that
the pungent smell of new and old
tires remind him of the different
pungency Of upland game? Does
his nose wrinkle in memory Of old
scents or at the recognition of new
ones? Nobody will know.
Curiously enough, Bob has turned
his old talents into new fields. His
keen nose and desire to please and
help his master are now devoted to
the Job of guarding his masters
property. Although this is a strange
accomplishment for pointer, Bob
is making as great success of his
Job q night watchman as he did
IA his youth of the Job - huntsr.

Hitler has made the national SYM

and honorable symbol should be
perverted to such a use we do not
know, for there is nothing Teutonic

widespread of all archaic orna-
mental forms, appearing in both

entirely unknown. II is generally
interpreted as a sun symbol, and it
certainly was introduced into India
at a very early date in connection
with sun worship. In its original
form 1t was probably a cross within
a circle, but in its present shape it
was used centuries ago in heraldic
and ecclesiastical work In Chris
tian countries. 1t occurs in Aegean
and archaic Greek pottery and also
in certain types of fret found in
Egypt and Greece. Medieval mystic
writer's derived it from the Greek
gamma, which they thought sug-
gestive of Christ as the corner

These baskets were bought at the

Halle Selassie's London house.
However, Miss Segerson's chief
interest is vases. Her love for them
dates back to childhood and prob
ably originated with a collection
brought to this country by her
grandmother, who came from Ire.
land as a young woman. Unfortu-
nately, these were all lost in q fire
while Miss Segerson was still child.
They had served to arouse her inter-
est In vases, however. and she has
since acquired q collection Of her
own which contains many fine
specimens.
When Miss Segerson is confronted
with the problem of giving some
friend q GIT, it is only natural that
she should gravitate toward the vase
counters, and although she starts
out determined to give something
different this time" she nearly al
ways buys vase, usually cloisonne.
Visit TO Ireland.
In Miss Segerson's collection are
some fine examples of the work OF
various famous porcelain and china
manufacturers. Her favorite vase
is tall Crown Derby, given to her
by friend. She Is partial to the
texture of Crown Derby, and this
particular item has the shape she
favors most. She also has displayed
prominently vases of Satsuma ware
cloisonne, Delft, Sevres, Irish Beleek
and bamboo. The last named is
probably the oldest in the collec-
ton. 1t is an unsplit length of bam-
boo trunk with its entire surface
carved in relief. The Beleek vase
was bought on a visit to Ireland.
Christopher Tenley, Miss Seger-
sons nephew, who also lives at 305a
P street, has two large Chinese vases
given him by his aunt because of his
interest in things Chinese. These
vases are placed to flank a carved
and inlaid Chinese ceremonial
screen, and the three articles domi-
nate one end of the music room. Mr.
Tenley is organist and choir director
at st. Peters Church and has his
music room filled with items repre-
sentative of subjects in which he is
interested. In addition to his
various vocations and avocations,
Mr.. Tenley collects shirts from vari-
GUS places he visits, but that is an
other story.
"Fainting Couch"
Miss Segerson has her vases some
what scattered, instead Of ke ----
them all in one spot, and tour OF
this interesting old house brought
to light many more intriguing OBJ
jects. Almost every piece of furni-
ture seems to have story OF its
own. For example, the breakfast
table and chairs were made of teak
from the deck of an old English
Admiralty yacht, the 'Enchantress.' u
This piece is built in such q clever
manner that, although it is round,
all the chairs nest completely un-
der it when not in use. 1t is an ex-
tension of the design used on some
drugstore tables and chairs, al
though larger, and with more
chairs.
Lastly, We saw an old '.fainting
couch, intended for the timid ladies
of another day to faint upon, and
with one end hinged, so that it
could be let down to make them
more comfortable.

||Wings Over Jordan" Draws
More Than Does KIan Parade
Substitute Dark
Glasses For
Usual Hoods

GREElNV1LLE S. CHAMP ---
Last Thursday night the Klan
staged a parade up Main Stree
to the city palS where the usual
ceremonial was held and some
dozen new members were initiated.
The entire khan show was free
and the public was invited to at
tend. The attendance was somc-
what Of a disappointment to the
sponsors. Friday night the Wings
Over Jordan appeared here with
paid admission and outdreW the
khan free show.
Although highly publicized in
advance, the klan parade was
viewed only by the usual crowd of
night windowshoppers aling maln
street. Some 40 odd cars carry
ing 200 klansman unmask-
ed, as was rdered by he in-
perlal wizard some moths ago,
were in the procession. While 10
klstnsmen were masked with the
old style hood, the majority wore
smoked glasses a Ia Hollywood aid
as one Wag remarked. only moth
er would have known them.
A number of the cars bore
crudely iprinted signs on white
cAoah. One sign in particular
missed fire intended to read "No

The No for some reason was not
visible and to most spectators it
read, Fifth Column in the U.S.A.,

A young white child viewing the
parade with his mother was over
heard to say: Mother, who arc
thocse people?" "That is the ku-
Klux Klan, dear. Are they white
people, mother Yes, they are
white. What do they do, moth
er?" They claim to make people
behave, dear. But why, mothei.
