The outstanding feature of the
Gay Nineties" rail fan trip last
Sunday was the opportunity to see
the expressions on the faces of the
onlookers when the old streetcars
burst upon their view. To some it
was Just another streetcar and
didn't register at all. Other folks
could be seen figuratively pinching
themselves to be sure they weren't
dreaming Many of the old people
who saw the GHOSTS" pass by where
obviously barking back to the days
when such cars were common sight
on our streets.
Comments ranged from get a
hoss" to sis that new carr" This
latter question was asked In all
seriousness, too.
To straighten out some Of the
many misconceptions about these
old cars, it should be understood
that the motor car, number 303, was
never anything but motor car. 1t
had electric motors in it when pur-
chased, and in its youth it carried
passengers up and down Seventh
street, propelled by electricity. Even
the word trolley is, in a way, a mis-
nomer, since it never had a trolley
pole on it and can operate only from
a plow.
The trailer car is the older of the
two and was bought to be used as
trailer behind cable car. When
the cable power house at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
burned, it was probably used as
horse car while new electric track
was being laid. The trailer was built
by John Stephenson & Co, Ltd. The
motor car was built by the American
Car Co., st. Louis, predecessor of
the st. Louis Car Co., builders of
most of our new "streamliners."

Although they are probably many
people over the country with larger
collections than his, John Burke has
done right well in collecting 100
pencils in less than a year. They
are not just ordinary pencils, either.
They are either mechanical pencils,
advertising pencils or a combination
of the two. And there are no dupli-
Gates among the 100.
Mr.. Burke is unable to assign any
particular reason for collecting pen
ellis. In common with most hobby
lists, he lust like to do it." Ad-
vertising pencils comprise about 80
per cent of his collection, and half
of these are from local firms.
Last fall Mr. Burke read in a
magazine about man who had a
very large pencil collection. He
wrote to the man, telling about his
own collection, and they since have
exchanged quite a few items. Also
the other chap put Mr.. Burke in
touch with other collectors anxious
to exchange. Through these chan
nels he has acquired pencils from
Ohio, Colorado, Kansas, Florida and
Iowa. He also has them from New
York and New Jersey, as well as
Maryland and Virginia. Ohio has
the best representation, with five
from Pandora, four from Bluffton
and a total of II from the State.
Some of Mr.. Burke's pencils have
been obtained by the simple ex-
pedient of writing to the advertising
company and asking for one, with
the explanation that he is a COL
lector.
With some 25 duplicates on hand,
Mr.. Burke is all set to do more trad
ing. At present he is seeking an
effective method of storing and dis
playing his collection. He has a
scheme for making a sort of rack
and tray arrangement which sounds
good and he hopes to be able to
make some shortly. Then he will
be ready for the hobby show next
winter.

as he is in the East. Breeding
show dogs is an increasingly popular
hobby and business as 1t Is in the
East
The automobile traveller in the
Far West is likely to see as many OF
the country's native dogs as he Is
of the domestic variety. Early morn
ing travellers through the desert
regions will see more than one coyote
scurrying across the road and dis
appearing in the sage. Prairie dogs
come out and sit by the side of the
road to see the cars pass. If you
drive too close to the side of the
road for their comfort. they give
you dirty look over their shoulders
as they dodge for cover. More thar
one little. furry animal succumbs
to the bright lights of the night
traveller and pays the full price for
his curiosity.
July weather is hard on dogs as
we'll as people. Attention to two or
/ three essentials can mitigate most
of Julys evils for the dog. Clean
water at frequent intervals, placed
where the dog can get it at will. is
one of the first requisites A shady
place where he can dig into the cool
earth or quiet corner in the base
ment is the most satisfactory place
to pass the hottest part of the day.
Moderate exercise early in the
morning and late in the evening will
suffice to keep him in good shape
If he is an adult dog, it is wise
to cut down somewhat on his food
intake. Regular grooming with
careful regard for the prevention or
elimination of f1eas and lice also
helps to keep the pet comfortable
and happy.
Regular application Of good
commercial flea powder, rubbed well
into the skin all over the dogs body,
is enough to keep him free from
these pests and will help to dis
courage ticks.
Clipping of long haired dogs is
not advisable Daily combing for
while will remove the woolly under
coat. leaving the long hair TO az
as an insulator against heat and IS
shield against insect pests. Wire
haired dogs should be plucked or
clipped according to their breed
standards.
Perhaps it Is wise, before leaving
the subject of dog care in the sum-
mer. to discuss the subject of 2
boarding place for the dog while h ;
master takes a vacation trip. IN
many cases it is possible and viso
to take the dog with you. Generall',
the dog makes a good travelir =
companion and is welcome every-
where. He will be happier with hi
own people than anywhere else.
; However. if it is not possible c"
convenient to take the dog alone,
: then be careful in picking his board
ing place. As in every other COM
modify. price should not be the only
criterion of value. Cleanliness. space.
shade. the attitude of the kennel
keeper and his assistants toward
the dogs are important indices Of

Something has happened to the
dogs of the small towns in the Mid
die and Far West. Time was when
the visitor to a town seemed to
have to fend off all the dogs in the
world. The streets and alleys we're
full of ours of all colors, shapes
and sizes. Every youngster in the
street was accompanied by his pet
Rover, or Trix, or Pete. But that
day has definitely passed. A dog
on the main street of the small town
is now so rare that the sight OF
one comes as a surprise and makes
one aware thet things have really
changed. Probably the heavy NOR
tality rate from automobiles has ef-
fectively taught the dog owner and
dog lover that the open road is no
place for his pet. Certainly, the
dog population has not decreased,
for a visit to almost any home or
store reveals at least one pet dog
and generally more than one.
Were one never to leave the East
ern seaboard one would inevitably
get the impression that the mon
grel population is decreasing. The
superiority of the pure-bred dog has
been so firmly established and the
number of dog breeders and roadside
kennels is so large that it seems
that most dogs to be found in the
East are now pure bred, although
they may not be show type.
The farther West one goes, how
ever, with one or two exceptions, the
fewer pure-bred dogs one sees
There are big dogs and little dogs
classification goes with the average
pet or farm dogs. One of the most
notable exceptions to the rule is New
Mexico. Here there seems to be a
larger proportion of pure breds than
most other places. A shepherd dog
identical in type and coloring to the
Shetland sheepdog but decidedly
oversize. is used by the sheepherder
and may be seen all over the State
The Navajo Indians seem to have g
number of these dogs which not only
fulfill their original purpose of herd
ing sheep but seem to put in a gooc
share of their time herding the In.
dian babies. They are pretty
sight together. and the dogs and thu
youngsters seem to gentle and affec-
tionate with each other.
In the western part of New Mex.
leo and in Arizona there are many
dogs that appear to be pure-brec
bloodhounds. These are used fol
hunting mountain lions. While ped
igrees are not always kept on these
dogs they are carefully bred anc
cherished. Other breeds of dogs arr
met in the homes, but these two
may be seen out in the open coun.
try and on the town streets. Al.

East made the lowest possible
opening bid with three high-card
tricks, and when South passed. West
kept it at low level by overcalling
on a three-card suit headed by a
queen. Only very good players
would have done that, but when his
partner overcalled a spade by North
with two diamonds, he jumped to
three no-trump.
North's opening lead was the ten
of spades, South played the jack,
which caused West to believe that
the hand held only one other spade
or perhaps none. and therefore he
refused to win with the king. South
returned the queen, and again West
refused to cover. South played a
heart and West let it ride to the jack
in dummy, although he realized it
was dangerous. Coming to his own
hand with the queen of diamonds,
he started to set up the clubs, hop
ing that South held the king which
he was allowed to win. 1t then
made no difference what South did,
West won the next trick, and an
other lead of clubs dropped the
queen from the North hand. West
made his contract because North
could never get in to run his good
spades.
At another table East was declarer
in three no-trump contract. South
opened with the queen of spades.
This time West covered with the
king, which was allowed to win the
trick. South eventually got In again
and led the jack of spades, which
North overlook, and ran the re-
mainder of his spades and thus set
the contract. Had North won the
first spade trick, South's jack would
have blocked the long cards in that
suit. West won his three no-trump
contract by daring to base his spade
king in holdup; East lost the three
no-trump contract when North held
up the ace of spades.
