advice of Washington newspaper
people at the time the picture was
made.
Hollywood news is of sufficient
interest to the rest of the world
said Mr.. Fidler, to justify the
existence of $50 to 500 reporters
there. In his own organization, the
columnist stated he employees 13
reporters, several secretaries to an
swer fan letters and between Is and
IS so-called "spies" to assist in
gathering news. Denying that he
ever wrote anything Intentionally
destructive, Mr.. Fidler declared that
although he sometimes gave verbal
"spankings" to members of the
Hollywood community, it was done
purely through altruistic motives
and with the hope that what he said
would prove constructive.

Addresses
Press Club
Hollywood Not as
Lively a Town as
District, He Says

Those who think of Hollywood as
the "livest town in the country"
might have been surprised yesterday
to hear Jimmie Fidler, Hollywood
columnist and radio commentator,
describe it as less alert than WASH
ington. AS guest speaker at the
Women's National Press Club lunch
con at the Willard Hotel, Mr.. Fidler
said that not only is the National
Capital more business-like and wide
awake than the film capital but its
audiences are more critical and
observing.
Current pictures, as we'll as news
gathering in Hollywood were dis
cussed by the columnist, now in
Washington on personal appear
ance tour
Accompanying Mr.. F'idler were
Harry Carey, film and stage star,
who played the part of the Vice
President in the film, Mr.. Smith
Goes to Washington" and Jim Pres
ton, veteran figure on Capitol Hill,
who was technical director for the
picture. Admitting the entertain
ing features of the film, as we'll as
the excellence of its cast, Mr.. Fidler
declared he had opposed the picture
from the beginning, protesting to
the producer that the screen was
mo place on which to portray ideas
ridiculing or tearing down our Gov
ernment"

~oME of my very best friends are dogs.
- But l must ooncede that am bit
disappointed at the apparent LOS of
the two beasts that reside in my house.
Take Mr.. Wiggles, for instance. When he
was still 50 young that we weren't sure he
wasn't baby pig l decided to teach him to
shake hands.
Well, l started with the quiet but firm
tone; kind, you know, yet mastery. I'd say,
"Wiggles, give me your paw. Give me your
paw. Wiggles Give me your paw"
Over and over would repeat it. touching
his foreleg for emphasis; tapping his toes
smartly to make him lift his paw 50 could
grab it and convey the idea to him. At the
end of each session would be believing at
him and practically brandishing club under
his nose But Wiggles would be sitting in his
original pose, ears pinned back, surly, i'm

fairly rooted in the linoleum.
His whole attitude was unmistakably, Its
silly idea and I'm damned if III do it. - (He's
a bill terrier, Incidentally And to this day
that dog has never given his paw to me on
lcQueSl
After time just decided that he was an
imbecile dog and dropped the whole matter
And then got the surprise of my life. One
night l came home to find a sofa pillow
reduced to an imitation of Montana biz
zard in the living room.
Who did it?" beloved. And as seized
the ever-ready whip from the newell post and
lashed around in a great display of fury,
MIR. Wiggles dashed joyfully out from under
the sofa, sat up on his launches - and handed

All those months he must have been saying
to himself: This dumb gag is something the

he got in jam, he used it. In fact, he has
used it dozen times since in emergencies -

Over and over | repeated it, without
getting the faintest flicker of comprehension
in the animals limpid eyes. Then suddenly in
burst Wiggles from the adjoining room where
he had been doing. Showing Rip rudely
aside, he reared on his launches and extended
his paw in the most approved fashion. And as
he promptly strobe out of the room, he tossed
a look over his shoulder that said. Amt
some dogs dumb"
For long time was convinced that both
of them were pretty stupid, but lately I've
begun to wonder If you ask: ANY dog here
want dog b-i-s-c-u-i-t?" they'll both bark
furiously. If you spell out animal cracker
or pork chop or anything else, they remain
mute.
If you say: Who wants to go to Jones

eagerness to be off. You can even abbreviate
the name to simple y B" with the same
result this being the place they 60 for their
weekly run in the winter. But if you ask the
same question in the same tone, substituting
Bar Harbor' or "Coney Island" or Miami,
they won't lift an ear.

nine.
In fact, they give so many, many evidences
of keen insight and intelligence that I'm
positive my dogs are just as smart as yours
Yet l can't teach either of them to shake
hands on request
Do you suppose the tip-of is that if you
want to teach your dog tricks, you've got to
know more than the dog?

Eagles Again in Flag
Hunt After Lickinu
Rovers, I 10 4
Covert Gets Four GooIs
For Record Here and
Team Ploy Is Smooth

With~a flourishing little string Of
three successive victories, the Wash
ington Eagles today had re-estab-
lished themselves as contenders for
the Eastern Amateur Hockey League
championship and a bitter three
way battle, or q reasonable facsimile,
looms for the loops final five weeks.
Encouraged and aided by the sud-
den slip Of the league-leading New
York Rovers, who were dealt their
third consecutive trimming by the
Eagles last night at Riverside Sta
dium, IA, before 1924 paying
patrons. Washington's third place
outfit now trails New York by 7
points. Baltimore, which has played
three more games than the Eagles,
leads Washington by points.
Eagles in Great Form.
Further opportunity to climb will
be presented the Eagles over the
week end. They will face the Jersey
Skeeters here Friday and at River
Vale, N. j., on Saturday before
humping into the Rovers again Sun
day afternoon at Madison Square
Garden.
Washington, playing its most
brilliant game of the season last
night, has chosen an opportune
time to click. If it can retain the
touch of hockey genius 1t displayed
against the Rovers the Eagles will
figure prominently in the stretch
scramble.
1t was Roy Covert, stocky center,
who paced the Eagles with a sta
dunn scoring mark of four. goals, but
the entire team produced its best
brand of ice maneuvering to blend
with his sizzling stick handling. Les
Ramsay manufactured a brace of
goals and an assist, while Paul
Courteau added another goal and
two assists.
Cairns Plays Well.
Bill Cairns, returned to action
after being benched for three games,
played greatly improved game, as
did the others who had been tagging
in recent engagements.
Although New York tied the
score at IL. in the first period and
again at 33 in the second frame,
Washington spurted into a COM
manding lead late in the second
period on goals by Covert and Ram
say to leave the ice with a 5-3 mar
gin. Murdo Mckay of the Rovers
Whitfield that to Sd midway in the
final period. but Covert and Cour-
teau again located the net to clinch
victory.
