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

Mrs. Mclaughlin refutes the
charge that she is interested only
in mongrels and is sentimentally fos-
tering the propagation of ours by
citing her family background which
includes a father extremely we'll
known in the highest dog show
circles He was DR.. Hubert T. Foote.
owner of the Brookside Kennels and
breeder of wire and Manchester ter
riers. Her mother bred French bull
dogs and ScottieS. Her present work
in placing mongrels in homes, while
resented by some breeders. is truly
humanitarian. since it benefits not
only the dogs in question. but the
homes which receive them and
which otherwise could not have any
dog
One of the most interesting para
graphs in her article is a plea TO
breeders of pure bred dogs to be
more careful in breeding and in
methods of selling and placing dogs
in homes. In the last three years
she claims to have had a world of
pure-bred dogs pass through Or
phanS of the Storm. mostly of
the hunting breeds with springer
spaniels predominating but includ-
ing cookers, pointers, beagles, settlers
and various others.
This is a sure indication that
these breeds are being overbred, sold
and given away. Were the dogs
bred Discriminatory and sold or given
only to people who would assure
them proper homes and protecti,n,
| the dogs would seldom if ever find
their Wav TO public pound or
animal shelter. A recent article in
the Saturday Evening Post about the
Detroit pound made the claim that
member of every one of the 108
recognized breeds had found its way
to the pound at one time or other.
There were | 1250 registrations In
! the Field Dog Stud Book in Septem-
Der and 1893 in October. with point
ers leading both months. These
numbers are a tribute to the popu-
larlty Of the hunting dog and the
purebred hunting dog at that. The
American Kennel Club has granted
ITO dates for field trials Of various
types to be run off in l25 fall and
winter days. Six types of trials.

and setter, retriever and spaniel. for
20 different breeds are scheduled.
New York, PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio
lead in number of trials.
The Potomac Boxer Clubs second
sanction match starts today at pm
with an exhibition of obedience
trained boxers, followed by judging
of dogs. Glasses for puppies from
months to year old, novice dogs
and open dogs with or withou'
points, as well as stud dog and brood
bitch classes are provided. Entries
are being taken from II m. until
judging starts, at the gate Of 1885

best known boxers in the country
already have been entered for this

dogs. John Phelps Wagner Of Mil

Commission rules require all mes
sageS sent in such case to be in
writing and signed by some official
such as the chief of police. If, for
example, Red Cross supplies are
needed, the ham will be given the
message and he will 60 on the air
with the call ORR, which is a sort
of land sos and requires that he
be given a clear channel. That Is,
all others using his wave length are
to remain silent until he can get
his message through. and all neces-
sary arrangements are completed.
After all calls for aid and all
official messages are cleared, the
amateur may handle personal calls
until telephone or wire service is
resumed.
The general call used by ham
when he goes ON the air under
normal conditions is CO, which
means he will talk to any one who
picks him up. Or he may specify
a certain section as CO Boston, or
CO East, meaning he wants to con-
tact some one in that direction.
Then, of course, he may be in the
habit of talking to some one in par
ticular and may call for that one
person He must keep log book
and record therein all data about his
use of the air, such as the time he
went on. to who he talked, how
long. etc.

"Reshevskys Dilemma" positional
problem No. 385, may be converted
into victory for the United States
chess champion, according to
GrandmaSter Reuben Fine (Who &C
tually won the game, by Samuel
Reshevsky playing his 48th move
thus: 48 QxP! If either 48 :, KtxQ,
or 48 :, QxQ, then 40 BIRCH leads
to mate. On 48 :, KITS; 40 BxKtch,
K-Kt2; so B-B8ch! is the simplest
winning play, while on 48 :, Kt-
Kt2; 40 QxQ; RxQ; so BxKtch, KxB;
81 R (BD-B7 leads to an ending
which is quite easily won.
Early solvers of the positional
problem are Miss Maud G. SeWall,

AS the population in Arlington
County increases, the stray-dog
problem becomes more difficult.
Aside from the usual angles OF
the problem, such as the spread OF
disease, the damage to property and
the danger of accidents, there is
another situation which is begin
ming to perplex residents of the
county. This is the difficulty of trac-
ing or finding lost dogs. While
there is a pound of sorts in the
county, it is hard to find and prac-
ticaily impossible to contact by tele-
phone.
Since there is no regular pound
master or dog catcher. few of the
really lost dogs find their way to
the pound. People who find dogs
have no way of turning them in
except by making the trip to the
pound themselves, if they have a
means of conveyance. The man who
serves as game warden for Arling-
ton, Fairfax and Alexandria is
charged with some Of the duties
of dog catcher but finds it impossible
to cover both jobs adequately.
Residents of Arlington and repre-
sentatives of a number of civic Or
ganizations have held meetings to
discuss the problem. Steps are be-
ing taken to draw up model dog
ordinance and to sperate the du-
ties of the game warden and dog
catcher Practical suggestions from
interested dog owners are welcome.
Last weeks dog show at Buffalo,
N. Y, saw one locally owned boxer
finish his championship Subject to
A. K. c. APPROVAL and another start

champion is Miss Elizabeth Lem

took three points and best OF VIM

towards the title is Gordon and

One of the most interesting
articles I have ever read on humane
society work is the one entitled
What is a Dog Love?' by Irene
Castle Mclaughlin in the September
issue OF Point and Fetch. For those
who do not know il. the author IS
the same Irene Castle of stage fame
of years ago and the Irene Nc
Laughlin who established and main
tains the animal shelter in Chicago
known as Orphans of the Storm.
Her work has received Nationwide
publicity, both adverse and ad-
miring. She has succeeded in arous-
| ing the State Of Illinois to the needs
of humane work and modern dog
laws.

Practically everyone today must be
familiar with the splendid emer-
gency work done by amateur radio
operators When all commercial
communications fail, the hams"
come through, calling for aid and
relaying messages. Probably untold
lives have been saved by their efforts
and all without thought of pay. 1t
Is direct outgrOWth of a hobby
All hobbies benefit their owner, but
this one also has great value to
others.
Our local ham organization. the
Washington Radio Club, is typical of
these groups Made up of folks in
terested in amateur radio, its men,
bership is extremely diversified 1t
is not necessary to have an amateur
license in order to join. The men,
bership ranges from those just in
terested in the subject to radio engi-
neers and experts who make it both
their hobby and business.
To assist novices in securing anna
teur licenses, the w. r. G. supplies

Quoted at the Y. M. c. A. 1t is
divided into two parts, instruction
in radio theory being given Tuesdays
and in code on Fridays. Students
may attend either or both classes
Donald McClenon, president of the
club, is the teacher this year.
Two local amateurs who have par
ticipated in emergency broadcast
work are Eppa w. Darn and Roy
Corderman. They have co-operated
in relaying messages from stricken
areas to the Red Cross.
The club has adopted program
designed to aid and improve this
emergency relief work. An effort is
being made to standariZe all set con-
nections so that damaged units can
be replaced quickly. Impetus is
being given to construction of mobile
equipment (the kind most needed in
event of flood, fire, air raid, etc. by
an offer of trophies for the most
successful units built. 1t is planned
to hold field day next spring TO
determine the winners. The tests
will show whether the equipment
will stand up under 24-hour service
such as would be demanded in emer-
gencies. Some times these little
amateur stations have had to run
continuously for several days until
regular communication could be re-
stored.
There is a shortage of many radio
parts which may interfere with this
program. The club has purchased
some items while still available in
order to have them on hand for the
members as needed.
General procedure in case of. say.

his services to whatever local au-

Eagerness of contract players to
win master points was evident in
the game of the Federal Bridge
League last Tuesday night at the
Wardman Park Hotel Master points
to the ambitious bridge player are
like college degrees. They indicate
proficiency and skill. When they
can be gained by local fans on the
home campus and without the ne
cessity of going afar to the national
and regional tournaments. there is
always scramble to acquire the
coveted rewards of merit, and good
bridge playing is the result.
It was so at the Federal, and the
attendance was large. The league
sets aside its regular Tuesday night
team-o -four matches one evening
each month for pair game in
which master points are accredited
to the winners. Non-members of
the league are permitted to par
ticipate upon such occasions. Last
weeks contest was a spirited one in
which four pairs We'd for leadership,
the advantage being first with one
and then with another The finish
was close. In the end the tally
showed Mrs. Frederick Eberson and
Charles Lyons ahead with a score
of 172. while DR.. and Mrs. A. J.
Steinberg amassed a total of 169 to
take second place. Immediately
behind them were George Kathan
and H. Robert Young with 1863. S.
G. Churchill and Paul Neff followed
with 1921.
Tabulation of the score made by
the three leading pairs entered in
the Metropolitan event by various
club organizations showed that the
Federal League mad won the Met
ropolitan Plaque in the recent Dis
trict tournament by score of LIZA.
Next were the three leading pairs
of the Agriculture Bridge Club with
total of 1.127. while third was the
Women's Auxiliary with 1925. This
plaque was an award apart from
The Evening Star Trophy. which
went to the individual winners, Mrs.
Breckenridge Long and Mrs,
Georges Pouleiff. The mild protest
against the award of the plaque be-
cause Mrs. Long and Mrs. Pouleiff,
whose commanding score helped to
win the prize, were not active but
only honorary members of the Fed
eral League, was withdrawn when
it was shown that even without
their score the Federal would still
lead the other groups by Q points.
The latest organization to enter
the local bridge field is the bridge
club of the Treasury Recreation As
sociation. 1t started of with IA
vorable prospects and 1872 tables at
Manor, 2108 Sixteenth street NV,
last Tuesday night. Charles H. Pa
tonde was sponsor, and play was
directed by William Cheeks who
lectured on bidding for the benefit
of the beginners before the play
started The members were then
divided into three sections accord
ing to their professed ability to play.
The novices and the more expert
enced each played the progressive
form of the game in separate Sec
tions, while the advanced players
held regulation duplicate game.
In the beginners class the winners
were Miss Florence E. Coleman and
Miss Edna Casterline first; Miss
Florence NJ Buchler and Miss Bess
v. Sticler. second. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Nobert Baxter, third. In the more
experienced class, Miss Alice Cor
don and Miss Ouida Moseley were
first; Mrs. M. Dwyer and Mr.. Pa

One Of the most interesting addi-
tions to bridge literature that has
come TO this desk is a tiny booklet
called Tops at Contract" in which
w. Frederick Stroh, the mathemati-
cal wizard, shows how to use the
self-teachlng slide rule for deter
mining correct bids. He entirely
eliminates every confusing regula-
ton and convention" and bids first
to show the honest mathematical
value of the hand and then to Sc
lect the proper playing denomina-
tlon. Many average players "plav
by the book" and will follow CON
Vention" if it blows out of an 1lth-
story window. Experts are getting
away from the standard rules and
the pattern hands and are applying
simple mathematics. Any system
of bidding founded on the quick
sands of probable values which in
turn are based upon average dis
trlbution' is obviously a multipl-
n
with a procedure firmly planted
upon the rock of mathematical
certainty
Any bic, other than a legitimate
suit or no-trump. has been looked
upon rs an artificial bid. Mr. Stroh
reverses this order and bids to show
an accurate valuation of each hand

Mr.. Stroh, that this method is BY
