Washington area. Mrs. Evelyn Nes-
bits Red Sun Gold was first in his
class and reserve winners dog. Will

Chung Kuo was best of breed.
Mrs. Richard d. Birney is def
nitely on the road to recovery now.
While she has to wear a steel brace
and use two canes to get about at
all, she does get about. Sure sign
OF her recovery is the fact that she
felt well enough to visit the beauty
parlor the other day for the first
time since she was taken so i'll.
| However, better for her morale than
even the beauty parlor is the litter
of three beautiful Boston terriers
that she keeps in a little pen by
her bedside. These are by Mrs.
Class Oh. Prosperity Kid and, ac-
cording to both the Birneys, are
| the best they have ever had on
the place. Considering the number
of extra good ones they have bred
this is saying lot.
Belinda the Beautiful Model has
one trick and she plays it for all
/ she's worth. Belinda, as many of
my readers know. is a bulldog, the
/ pride and JOY of DR.. John H. ElVin.
Every day Belinda accompanies the
busy physician to his Office and
gravely inspects each patient as
he comes into the waiting room.
| Promptly at the appointed time
| Belinda hies herself to the end of
| the corridor and sits until The
Star carrier appears. Gravely she
holds up her head and has the
paper tucked neatly into her NAV:
then, solemn as judge, she trots
back through the corridor, back
through the waiting room, back
through the Office and into the op-
Grating room, if necessary, where
she delivers the paper into the
hands Of the doctor himself and
! no other.
Belinda's husband is the only
Washington-oWned bulldog cham
pion, Oh. Basford Playboy. also
owned by DR.. Elvin. Since bulldog
fanclers specialize in cute" names.
/ as witness those above, also Tugboat
Annie, Mahobi Dick and others. sug-
/ gestions already are being offered
for the progeny of Belinda ana
Playboy, which are due soon.
EVIDENCE is piling up that eczema,
/ both the summer and the all-vear
/ variety, is fundamentally a dietary
/ disorder. In one local kennel in
which summer eczema used to ap-
-. pear frequently as it does in most
kennels, there hasn't been a single
case in over three years. or since
! the whole kennel was switched to a
/ feeding plan which includes one
third to one-half fresh raw meat
and the balance a high-grade of
| klbble biscuit and cereal food. Since
| the biscuit and cereal were used
before the only change was to a
higher proportion of meat, and
that raw. The same effects have
been noticed in kennels throughout
the country, as well as in private
homes.
Regular, careful grooming also is
an aid in preventing skin disor-
! ders, since there is no tendency to
scratch and break the skin where
there is neither dirt, itchy under
coat or parasites.

Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Activities Here and Nearby
Rv Edmond Henderer.

Our lobbyists this week, Francis
Ticknor, 1913 Fifth street NE, is a
man of many interests. He is the
fifth generation of his family TO
follow the printing trade, and some
of his hobbies are related to this
craft, although he is not now pro-
fessionslly engaged in it.
At present, Mr.. Ticknor's leading
hobby is collecting cigarette pack
age wrappers. He started this un-
usual collection three or four years
ago. The idea was born when he
found that, although a smoker him.
self. he could not name IL cigarette
brands. In fact, in answer to a
question, he could recall only about
six. Piqued by this revelation, he
set about acquiring the wrappers
from cigarette packages, These he
mounted in looseleaf book.
There are now ia different brands
in Mr.. Ticknor's collection, divided
as follows Sc United States, 20
Canadian and other foreign. All
the American and Canadian brands
he collected himself, while the 9TH
ers have come from various other
sources.
Mr.. Ticknor estimates there may
be so United States brands which
he does not yet have and an un-
known number of foreign. All those
represented in his collection are cur
rent brands and may be purchased
today.
Ship pictures and models are the
next items in Mr.. Ticknor'S collec-
tions and he hopes some day to own
a sailing yacht. This interest in
boats led him to make a specialized
collection of stamps with pictures
of ships and all sorts of water craft.
He now has a large book of these,
and also has a pre-Cancel collec-
tion and a United States specialized
collection. A few firSt-day covers
and a general foreign collection
round out his stamp interests.
In connection with his covers, Mr.
Ticknor has made use of an idea
which may be of value to others.
He sometimes places the address on
separate slip of paper and at
taches it to the cover with rubber
cement. After cancellation, this
slip may be removed without harm
to the envelope and any other name
and address may be placed thereon
to fit the cover in some one else's
collection.
Hobbies related to Mr.. Ticknor's
trade as printer are a collection of
letterheads, used as a reference
library on the subject, and a COL
lection of type faces, several of
which are quite rare. Given the
time and money, Mr.. Ticknor would
like to search the country for these
rare type faces and preserve the old
and obsolete ones in his collection.
Another of his odd items, and a
comparatively new hobby. is a small
collection of Madonna pictures. Mr..
Ticknors interest in this was
aroused when he saw pictures of
Evening star., 1941-08-17

Negro and Chinese Madonnas. Real
izing then that each race and ma
| tionality, and even each art era, had
conceived a different Madonna, he
started to collect pictures of them.
Eventually, this collection should be
of great interest and may even have
some scientific and sociological
value.
Last of Mr.. Ticknor's collections
is one of old United States coins.
He and a friend once published a
magazine for numismatists. They
secured adequate circulation, but
not enough advertising, so had to
suspend publication.
Mr.. Ticknor is now employed at
the Congressional Library and Is
also attending George Washington
University night school.
The Eastern Miniature Power
Boat Circuit is racing on the Re
f1ecting Pool today. Races start at
9 am. and will probably last
throughout the day. Spectators are
always welcome.
Next Sunday the E. r. A. will
hold another of its famous trips,
this time over the lines of the
HagerstoWn & Frederick Railway.
The complete trip of about $50 miles
will be as follows: Pennsylvania
Railroad to Baltimore. Western
Maryland Railway to Thurmont,
Hagerstown & Frederick to Fred
erick and return over same route
Plenty of stops will be made for
photographers TO shoot" the Blue
Ridge scenery, the cars, anything
else of interest. Three types of
transportation will be employed dur
ing the trip, making it an attrac-
ton to all kinds of rail fans.
For further information and tick
cts, call or write Paul D. Gable, 1908
Hanover street, Silver Spring, Md,
Shepherd 4759W.
All hobby clubs will resume reg
ular meetings in September. Now
Is the time to look into that hobby
you have always thought you'd take
up some day. All the clubs welcome
interested visitors to their meetings
and a visit to such a group is the
best way to find out if one would
really like to take up any given
hobby. Time and location of such
meetings will appear regularly in
this column.
The National Museum will display
throughout this month part of a
recently acquired Currier & Ives
collection in the foyer of the Natural
History Building. Those interested
in the graphic arts will enjoy this
showing.

the runners-up. The defeated
champions, Harry ]. Fishbein and
Morrie Ellis, were third in all three
sessions, finishing with a score of
2.32112. Waldemar Won Zedtwitz
and Sherman Stearns were fourth
with 2,23712.
The prize. in addition to the title
of world champions, was the Won
ZedtWitz Gold Cup, valued at 5000.
They will hold it until the next
meet.
The final round of the worlds
team OF four championship game
was a post-tournament event and
was played at the Cavendish Club
New York, between the clubs ace
team of four, comprising Waldemar
Won Zedtwitz, Sam Fry. jr.; A. M
Barnes and Edward Hymes. jr., and
the -Four Aces team of Oswald Jac-
oby Howard Schenken, M. D.
Maler and T. A. Lightner, and B. Jay
Becker, alternate The Cavendish
team had been in the lead from the
beginning. At the end of the first
round the score showed them 100
points ahead, but a revision added 80
points more to their total. From
then on it was anybody's victory un-
til the last board was played, for the
Won Zedtwitz foursome entered the
finals only 400 points in the lead.
Featuring this event was board
played in one of the early rounds
when the defending champions. Al
Roth and Oscar j. Brotman, with
their teammates, Betram Lebhar of
New Rochelle and Sam Katz of
Newark, outpointed the Philadelphia
team Of Charles H. Goren in what
was said to have been the most diff
flcult match of the series.
Other events of the tournament
were the mems national pair cham
plonShlp, which was won by the up
set pair composed of Sam Rossant
and Joseph E. Low, both of New
York; the women's national pair
championship, won by Mrs. Mae P.
Rosen and Mrs. Edwin Seligman:
the Presidents pair match. won by
Judge A D. Delmar of New Jersey
and David Horan of Brooklyn, and
the women's national team of four
championship. won by Mrs. A. M.
Sobel, Mrs. Ralph C. Young, Charles
Goren and Sydney Silidor.
The tournament produced several
new champions and dethroned
others. 1t was the largest in the his
tory of the game.
Next Wednesday will be the second
guest night of the Washington
Bridge League at the Shoreham
Hotel. Two weeks ago, when the
league extended invitations to nom
members and guests, there was
goodly attendance in spite of the
fact that the American Contract
Bridge was holding its annual sum-
mer tournament at Asbury Park
and the league recruited several
additional members 1t is expected
that the coming guests night will
bring in others, especially as the
leagues annual District of Columbia
championship matches will be held
in october and newcomers who have
not allied themselves with any bridge
organization will want to be able to
participate in that event Chairman
p. E. Henninser has added soma
new features to the meet and is de-
sirous of giving all local bridge play
ers an opportunity to participate.

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

Work and plans for the National
Capital Kennel Club show at Mea-
dowbrook Saddle Club on October
10 are accelerating. All the judges
have been nominated and await
only the approval of the American
Kennel Club before publication.
Beautiful trophies for the best dog
and the best American bred dog in
the show, as well as for the best
dog in each of the six groups, have
been pledged.
A token of the new spirit of good
feeling and cooperation which now
prevails among the nearby kennel
clubs is the fact that three of the
six group trophies have been
pledged by the other three all
breed clubs in this area Many BEAU
tiful trophies for the various breeds
already have been received by Mrs.
| Jere B. Mackle, trophy chairman,
and her committee member, Mrs.
John Anderson, and many more
have been pledged, although not yet
sent in.
This is Washington first fall
show in number of years, and
many exhibitors, old and new. are
looking forward to it. One of the
new fancierS in this vicinity is A
De Acousta, owner of Jet, a Labra-
dor retriever who is almost halfway
through to her championship, hav-
ing won points in Northern compe-
tition. Jet hopes there are other
show Labradors waiting for the fall
shows.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Shaw of Alex
andria also hope to enter the ranks
of local show fans. They recently
acquired two pulls from the late
Government experiment kennels al
Beltsville. While Alice is sched-
uled for turn at maternal duty
just about that time, Clyde has
promised himself to uphold the
honors of the pull breed at the
Washington show. And Mrs. Shaw
already has demonstrated that the
coat of the pull is a very attractive
one which responds beautifully to
grooming. Therefore, Clyde will
refute the theory that all pulls are
unkempt-looking little dogs that
look as If they got into the show
| ring by mistake.
Another unusual breed that NAV
make its debut in the hands oi
local new breeders at the Washing
ton show is the papillon. Mrs. Con-
stance Donahew of Fort Hunt has
become interested in these fasci-
mating and unusual toys and hopes
to breed and show them here. This
is a case of mother following
daughter, for young Constance be-
came interested in show dogs a year
or more ago and bought a nice
collie which she has been showing
hereabouts. Mother found the show
game so much fun that she fol-
lowed daughters example and now
has some dogs of her own to show.

Players
Ru Paul !. Miller.

Always enthusiastic about match
chess, the New York fan is more so
this summer than for the last 60
ODD years-that Is, If the turnout
at the congress now in progress in
the Student Union Building at COL
gate University, Hamilton, N. Y,
is a safe barometer.
On hand are some of the ranking
players in the country to challenge
Robert Willman's supremacy as
State champion, an honor he first
won at the SD annual tournament,
held last summer in the same COL
legiate atmosphere. The cham
pionship class has been limited to
10 aces, but several other sections
of 10 players each provide tourna-
ment opportunity for experts and
beginners.
Teams from some four counties
are competing again for the famed
Genesee silver trophy, which was
won last year by the Syracuse Chess
Club of Onondaga County. L. Wal
ter Stephens, who is rapidly being
recognized as the grand emcee for
any American tournament of first

formal championship play. Re-
Gently, he travelled from New York
City to st. Louis to supervise the

Washington lost a world cham
pionship, but gained national and
an individual championship, in the
14th annual summer tournament of
the American Contract Bridge
League, held last week at Asbury
Park. N. j., so it considers the mat
ter of bridge championships to be a
fair standoff.
Mr., and Mrs. William Cheeks,
playing with Mr.. and Mrs. j. j.
Wallendorf of Coral Gables, Fla, as
their partners, succeeded in captur-
ing the national amateur team of
four championship. and Gene Her
mann was the victor in the indi-
vidual championship. In the world S
masters team of four championship,
Washington entered its super-ex-
pems, Al Roth and Oscar j. Brot-
man. who, with their partners, cap
tured that prize last year and de-
Tended their title this year. The
boys did very we'll and succeeded in
reaching the fourth round of the
five-session match, losers having
been eliminated in the first three
sessions. There they met the final
winners, the Won Zedtwitz team,
and were defeated-which was no
disgrace, for even the -Four Aces
team went down before this Caven-
dish foursome in the concluding
contest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cheeks won their
honors after a difficult struggle
against the Goddard team, which
they finally defeated by one point.
1t was a two-session affair. The
Cheeks were second in the first
round, losing to the Goddard team
by only half a point. Their score
was l7la to 18. In the second round,
both teams played excellent bridge,
but the Washington pair proved to
be bit better than their opponents,
for they won 2l12 boards out OF 80
for a total of 38 against 81 for the
Goddards.
In a new event which was for the
prize offered by the chairman of the
Asbury Park Arrangement Commit
tee, in which there were So pairs
entered, Mr.. and Mrs. Cheeks won
second honors, and in the finale they
lost by only one point. The prize
went to a New Jersey pair.
In the Presidents Cup match, in
which 72 pairs participated, Mr.. and
Mrs. Cheeks were second in the first
two rounds of the three-session
event and finished seventh in the
finals.
In all, the Cheeks pair won IL
master points, two radio sets and
four top-score prizes.
In the individual events where
each player was matched at some
time during the game against every
other player, Mr.. Hermann took first
place and won radio set. Mrs. A.

gave the winner a hard battle and
came off with second honors. Mr.
Cheeks was seventh at the close.

players who made creditable show
