ESTIMATE PROJECT
COST AT NEARLY
MILLION DOLLARS
Excavation Will Get Under
Way This Week if Wealth
er Permits
New Electric Generating Equip
ment Will Almost Double
Plant Capacity

Construction of an addition esti-
mated at nearly one million dollars
will be started at once by the Central
Ohio Light & Power company at its
Woodcock electric generating station
in Bluffton it was announced, Tues
day.
First step in the construction, that
of excavation, will begin this week
if weather permits. A steam shovel
for that purpose arrived at the plant
here Tuesday morning.
The addition will be built on the
north side of the present structure
and will face the Dixie highway.
Construction work. is expected to be
completed late in the summer and new
equipment will be in operation before
the first of next year, according to
present plans. The program, it is
estimated, will involve an outlay of
some $S2S,00O.
Await Weather Break
Arrangements for the construction
are said to be completed and only
break in the weather is awaited in
order to push the work at top speed.
Announcement that the program was
in readiness to start came a short
time after large motor-driven shovel
rolled onto the company's grounds at
the eastern edge of town on the AL
len-Hancock county line road, Tues
day
Size of the addition to be construct
ed will be As by lot feet, it was
learned from informed sources. When
the original plant was built here three
years ago, provisions were made for
an addition at the north side of the
plant, should it be required.
/ Growth of the company's volume
iof business, however, made necessary
the construction of the addition soon
er than had been anticipated. The
new structure will be of brick to har-
monize with the present building.
House Big Unit
The new addition will house large
| turbo-generator unit of $500 kilo-
watt capacity. The new unit, con-
sisting of turbin and boiler, will
nearly double the present plant ca
pacity of 10000 kilowatts furnished
by two 5000 kilowatt units.
Beginning of the construction pro-
gram follows an announcement to
that effect made shortly after the
first of the year by Francis K. God
win of Findlay, western division man.
a ger for the company that such a
step would be undertaken.
The plant here supplies electric
current to twenty-one northwestern
Ohio cities and towns. Among these
are: Jerry City, Cygnet, Bloomdale,
Rudolph, North Baltimore, Van Bur-
en-, Bairdstown, Mortimer, Findlay,
Rawson, Mt. Cory, Beaverdam, Lam
deck, Venedocia, Elgin, New Knox
vile, Moulton, Anna, Wapakoneta,
Lockington and St. Marys.
Unlimited Water Supply
Local real estate holdings of the
Central Ohio company include the Ma
tional quarry with twenty-eight acre
expanse of water. The generating
plant, located beside the quarry, has
at is disposal an almost unlimited
water supply necessary for cooling
purposes in operation of turbines.
Experts who inspected the plant
have declared its location ideal for
electric generating purposes and the
station has been given one of the
highest efficiency ratings in the en-
tire country.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on a Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
By X. X. Taynfon.

The American Kennel Club has
made another Christmas present to
the dog fancy and to the smaller
show-giving clubs. For entirely too
long a time have the local classes
at the dog shows been in the dog
house. Pre-shoW promises, like pre-
campaign promises, always have
held out glittering futures to the
local owners of purebred dogs if
they would enter their pooches in
the coming shows and help to swell
the totals. At show times, the novice
exhibitors generally found that the
local classes did not even rate Off
cial color ribbons. The winner of
a local class was seldom noticed and
generally went unreported in the
show notes.
According to a new Kennel Club
ruling, member clubs may now have
best local dog in show award
which will be reached by the same
process of elimination as the best
dog in show award. BY a bit of
maneuvering, the smaller, two-day
fixtures may now have two best in
show climaXes, one for each evening
of the show. Locally owned dogs
which do not hope to win in compe-
ton with the circuit chasers from
the big kennels now have chance at
a worthwhile prize in competition
that is fair for them. 1t will be in
tereSting to see the great rise in pop
ularity of the local classes.
Many local breeders with fair to
excellent dogs. who heretofore con-
sidered themselves above playing in
the amateur league. doubtlessly will
rush to try for the honor of owning
the best local dog. Local classes at
dog shows are generally defined by
the bench committees of the show
giving clubs, and are confined to
dogs owned within certain geograph-
ical limitations. In this vicinity,
membership in any Of the nearby
clubs has been considered local for
any show in this or the Baltimore
area. Membership in a Maryland club
has been considered local" for a
w OOll VI SllOhs 11OW-
ever, exhibitors do not need to be
members of any club to enter the
local classes, provided they reside
within the geographical limits men,
toned on the entry blank.
While the results and benefits of
this new ruling are fairly obvious,
its administration may bring a great
many complications to an already
overcomplicated sport. The multi
plication of breeds, classes and 'bests
in show" I'VE now have best dog, best
American bred and best local, as well
as best obedience trained) means an
infinity of judging and the danger of
consequent boredom. The pleasure
inherent in a dog show for both ex-

likely to be lost in morass Of book
keeping.
At present there are six groups,
sporting dogs, hounds, working dogs,
terriers, toy dogs and sporting
dogs 1t would seem that three
classifications could amply take care
of all. Why should hunting dogs
be spread over three groups, hounds,
sporting dogs and terriers. Each of
.hese groups has very dissimilar dogs
among its breeds. No group final
presents greater contrasts than the
hounds, which has the feTest breeds.
The grizZled giant, the Irish wolf
hound, with head that resembles
Scottie's more than any other dogs,
certainly presents a contrast to the
diminutive dachshund with its head
like a Doberman pinscher. The
Chesapeake retriever doesn't differ
any more from the Kerry blue ter
rier than it does from the cocker
spaniel in its own group. All dogs,
bred primarily to hunt-and the
terriers have that as their first
function-should be in one group.
Workers. sheep dogs, guard dogs.
police dogs and draft dogs should
be in another group The chow
and the keeshond might well be
in this classification. The nom
sporting group, meaningless term,
might be changed TO the pet group
Or the companion group. and include
the toys and the other non-assimi-
tables.
The Bethesda, Md, area seems TO
be the coming center for dog breed
ing activity. Mrs Martha Hall has
recently moved her Ahtram Ken
nels of outstanding Irish terriers to
that vicinity. Glenn Studebaker has
just leased a 100-acre farm near
there and plans to splurge in dogs,
increasing both his boxer and
cocker spaniel breeding stock. In
cookers, he hopes to concentrate on
parti-colors with preference for
black and white. Another doggy
establishment in that area is that
of Thomas Flaherty, who plans on
a small kennel of collies.
The recent sanction match of the
Maryland Fox Terrier Club was
most successful venture. The SO
smooth and wire hair terriers were
judged by James NJ. Austin Of Old
Westbury Long Island. who had or
exhibition his record breaking cham
pion, Nornay Saddler. The best
smooth male was DR.. Leon Selig-
mans Thumbs Up of WisSaboo. In
wires, Mrs. Meredith Pegram, jr.'s
Little Butch was best male. The
best bitches were: Smooths. Alex
Gifford's Shadowlane Stirrup. and
best wire. Mrs. Harold Hoffman's
Willow Spring Daffy.

among the contemporary ones, Is
convenience of arrangement cou-
pied with good, workable recipes,
In this part of his collection ne
has a United States Navy cook
book. OF course, this book Is COM
piled for cooks serving large num-
bers of men. But Mr.. de Jonge
reports that it is only necessary
to reduce the quantities to the
proper proportions in order to pro-
duce some fine dishes. His favorite
omelet recipe is in this book. Here's
a hint for young men desiring to
join our armed forces. The Navy
serves foods recommended by this
authority.
That Mr.. de Jonge likes to eat
becomes Immediately apparent on
talking to him. He won't admit
any favorite food but claims to like
everything except parsnips. He adds
that he doesn't think okra was
meant to be eaten as cooked vege-
table, but little added to certain
other foods is o. K.
He eats a very light breakfast
and lunch is not outstanding, but
he wants a good dinner. He is
not so much interested in desserts,
but likes salads and main courses.
He has developed certain recipes
of his own. The most famous of
these is probably his turkey stuffng.
This stuffng he admits is a lot of
trouble to prepare, but it must be
worth it. When several neighbors
wanted the recipe he figured it was
easier just to make enough for all
while preparing his own, which &C
counts for the four turkeys stuffed
at one time, as mentioned before.
Another OF Mr.. de Jonges WELL
known cat least among his friends)
dishes Is his salad bowl. Just what
the secret of it is he didn't reveal.
He disagrees with many Of the
cookbook writer's on how long to
cook duck. Many so-called epicures
recommend periods as short as II
to 20 minutes, but Mr.. de Jonge
wants roast duck to be roasted. not
barely warmed, and claims nothing
under an hour can accomplish this.

If you could choose your neigh
bors it might be well, particularly at
this time of year, to live near j. Carl
de Jonge. The reason? His hobby.
This hobby led him one THANKSGIVING
to prepare the dressing and stuff
four turkeys, three for neighbors.
AS to what this hobby might be,
it's just a little hard to determine
whether he likes to eat because he
collects cook books, or collects cook
books because he likes to eat. The
evidence seems in favor of the latter
supposition. At any rate the exter-
nal evidence of his avocatlon Is MS
collection of cook books.
Mr.. de Jonge displayed some OF
his items at the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey hobby show
last winter, and they were among
the most intriguing exhibits there.
Unfortunately, since he lives IN an
apartment at 225 Emerson street
NV, he lacks space to properly
display his collection and must keep
most of it packed away in boxes.
AS regards collectable items, Mr.,
de Jonge looks for two things In
cook books. First, he likes TO ma
old ones. These interest him IN
many ways. He finds in them such
diversified things as history, ro-
nance, medicine, art, arithmetic,
etiquette, jokes, religion, dressmak-
ing, gardening, travel and psychol-
ogv. not to mention the old recipes
he can try. Some of the old DOCKS
are regional in character ana give
good insight into the diet and haoits
of the section of their origin.
One of the regional dishes Mr.. DE
Jonge found to have a story behlno
it is chess pie. He first encountered
this dessert in Florida. When 1t was
recommended to him by a waitress
in a restaurant, he expected 1t 10
he some sort of cheese dish. When
it turned out to be type OF rlcn
custard pie, he inquired into the
origin of the name.
All sources of information on the
subject seem to agree as to the main
facts in the matter. The story is
that the pie was occasionally served
in the home of a certain Southern
family having a daughter OF mar
riageable age. This daughter had
a boy friend named Chester. Ches-
ter was extremely fond OF the pie
(as well as liking the daughtep and
praised it highly on every occasion.
Eventually he married the girl to
be assured of continued supply OF
his favorite pie. Whereupon the
family named it for him, and 1t
became chess" pie.
The second feature Mr.. de Jonge
looks for in cookbooks, at least

nually elected officers, although its
annual team tournaments usually
are sponsored by alumni or a grad
uate committee.
Both Christmas tournaments of
these leagues will be played this
year in the spacious quarters of the
famed Marshall Chess Club in New
York City. Formal matches in the
H. Y. P. D. start today and con-
tinue through tomorrow and Tues
day. In the past, the Belden-
Stephens Trophy has been the COW
eted championship cup. Perhaps a
new award will be announced soon
On Friday, the day after Christmas,
the Eastern league will begin hos
tilities for the beautiful Harold
Phillips Trophy. and the battle will
terminate by the 30th. The better
games of these college matches will

Nationally, there is the Intercol-
legiate Chess Association of Amer
lea that was founded at Duke Uni
versity and the University of North
Carolina in 1882, having it's origin in
the social chess educational pro-
gram and lectures given during the
years 1929-1932. Any college with a
chess club may affiliate with the
association, which seeks to encour-
age chess education, social play,
intraclub and intercollegiate chess
tournaments throughout the United
States. For specific data write this
