ach and leg. Today, much to the
amazement of all. the animal is
up and about and seems as hale
and hearty as ever.
The first law regulating dogs In
this country was the one placed on
the statute books of Massachusetts,
in IT'S providing for the killing Of
unruly and dangerous dogs. To-
day, in these United States, there
are hundreds of laws regulating
dogs, including the one in Michi-
gan that makes 1t illegal for a dog
to go out alone after dark.
People often ask me why they
should buy a puppy and not full
grown dog. If you purchase a
grown dog, you lose the pleasure
of training the puppy and ,observ-
ing the animals mind as his world
widens. BY carefully observing a
pup. you can see him go through
almost all the stages of develop
ment that a human child expert
ences. And then, of course, If you
bring the dog up from puppyhood,
in most cases, he is trained as
you want him to be.
Question: My dog is in a board
ing kennel. I don't expect to bring
him home until late in April Is
1t wise for me to visit him or
should I stay away until it is time
for him to come home?-J. c
Answer: BY all means, visit your
pet as often as you can To him,
you are the most important thing
on earth. If you were away, you
would like to see old friends.
Question: What can I do to cure
a dog of canker of the ear?-M. B.
Answer: Canker of the ear should
be treated by veterinarian.

SliCoo, IL 10 OOoCl NCo IlldI Vic ulC
of "stalemate is a draw" has been
banded about by all races, but
since it's introduction to London
from the Franco-Italian school in
1903 by the great English master,
Sarratt, has become an adopted
principle of modern chess with the
royal accounrements of legal bless
ing.
Since 1920 there has been little
challenge of the rule of stalemate,
for Sarratts prowess was sufficient
to make black be accepted as white;
and then, too, the "fallacy of stale
mate" possesses a strange philosophy
that, in the writer's opinion, greatly
enhances the charm of chess for
the more beleaguered player, who
anticipating loss. seeks the chan
mel Of play by which he may gain
marginal safety commensurate
with his abilities and by virtue of
which he preserves his personal
honor as player.
The ancient chess laws of the
japanese. the Mongols and the
Hindus declared stalemate illegal.
In ancient India, where chess was
born. the rule was that stalemate
was q win to the side suffering
therefrom! The Muslin rule held
that, to bare your opponents King
of all defense was a win without
further battle. In Aragon, both
stalemate and bare King were wins.
In 1914, in London. A. Saul pub
lished his book, Famous Game of
ChesSe-play.' which justified the
rule that stalemate is a draw on
the premise that the PLAYER who has
stalled his opponent hath disturbed
the course of the game, which can
only end with the grand check
mate"
Why would TElor. an eminent
English master, abolish the rule of
"stalemate is a draw? Succinctly
his reasons are:
THE rule has no solid historical
foundation. In logic, it is even
more wanting Once the principle
of alternative moves be established,
no ground exists for the insistence
that I must not only show that I
capture your King whatever move
you make, but that he was also in
check or 'en prise when 1t was your
turn to move In effect, am COM
PEELED to move twice consecutively.
If tins terminology is not acceptable
and it be argued that it is alleged
for YOU to move into check the
answer is that if I have reduced
you to legal immobility, that should
suffice as in checkers.
I'm not more than a dozen IA
nous instances has stalemate in
volved sparkling combinations in
important games. 1t is the theme
of innumerable artificial endings,
but this field Of art would be far
more enhanced by the extreme
nicely of wins were it abolished. In
the vast majority of cases, it
merely operates to increase the
margin of superiority necessary to
enable the better player to con-
summate the win in the finite limits
of game. Glaring instances are
provided by K and two KITS against
K: K, B and wrong -colored
RIP against K; and innumerable
piece, mixed, and Pawn endings
which have to be abandoned be-
cause nothing more than a stale
mate is possible.

KEEPING TAB ON THE DOG WORLD
News Views of Owners-Pactical Advice
Training and Care-Answers Queries
BY

Often I have been asked how a
prospective purchaser can select the
best puppy in a litter. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to look at a group
of 6 or 7 week old dogs and decide
with any degree of certainty which
one, in later life, will be better than
the others.
A method frequently employed by
experts is to allow the mother dog
to pick pup for you. A well known
breeder evolved the theory that the
mother in carrying litter back to
her bed will always pick up first
the pup that will develop as the
best dog.
It is thought the mother has a
better faculty of representation in
respect to her little ones than we
have. The selection still remains
gamble but if you allow the mother
to make a recommendation you may
have a better chance of securing the
best puppy. Most experts, however,
think it is almost impossible to
determine the best pup until the
dogs are at least 4 months OF age.
A policeman walking by Lon
don hotel noticed light showing

Next day the countess was fined
5 pounds in Harrogate Court. She
explained that the light had been
left on in her room so that her little
DachShund could eat its supper.
Again a number of letters have
come in asking how to make dog
ears stand up. These letters seem
to come in the main from owners
of German shepherd dogs. 1t is we'll

losing puppy teeth, often will have
trouble in carrying his ears erect.

AMONG THE STAMP COLLECTORS
News of the Phatec World Its Interests and PeopeRevew of
the Stamp Press-List of Local Meetings
Bv James Waldo Fa,Uceff.

Praise of Philately" was the theme
of an address by Senator James M
Mead of New York, broadcast over
the National Broadcasting Co. net
work yesterday afternoon.
This hobby" the speaker said
will lift you out of yourself, give
zest and interest to living; and when
you have reached the traditional
three score years and ten, philately
will make each day busy one. You
will then find that your stamps
have become a part of you, an heir
loom which you may bequeath to
those who are to carry on after
you have gone. Your children and
your childrens children will enjoy
your stamps, for they are never out of
style, they never lose their value,
they never fail to interest young
and old alike. Some may like the
pictures on the stamps; some may
be interested only in the country
of origin; some may care only for
the depletion of special events;
others may peer closely for dis
crepancies, hoping always to come
across a find But to all, regard
less OF age, education, occupation,
stamp collecting offers an unfail-
ing diversion, one that will attract
you more as you go into it"
Mr.. Mead explained that his own
preferences were for airmail stempS
and first-day covers. But I am not
a specialist" he declared. Il just
like stamps, in any form, shape or
manner"
The Senator continued: Some see
art in stamps; some see history;
some see inventions, mankinds
progress from age to age; some see
noble personages whose names have
been familiar to our ears since in
fancy: some see adventure, valor,
new fields of conquest.
And yet the stamp is but little
thing-something you can carry
around in your vest pocket-and you
will do exactly that after you acquire
a valuable one and want to display
it to all your friends. = 1t is little
1t is true; but it represents much
II has a purpose, beauty, history
More than that, it is a symbol, a
means whereby communication is
carried on among all the nations of
the world, unity and cooperation
expressed in the international
Postal Union, which, If applied to
all dealings among nations, would
make this better world in which
to live.
Some day mighty stamp will
be run off the presses of the nations
of the world-the mightiest stamp
ever issued. ." That stamp will be
the stamp of peace'-a peace for all
nations: a peace denoting the END
of battle; the end of tumult and
bloodshed; the beginning of a re-
turn to normal pursuits; the right to
lead a life of happiness and simple
pleasures: the resumption Of neigh
borly relations, with hands stretched
across the seas once more in a
friendly gesture. That, to all of us
will be the most glorious stamp ever
to come forth. 1t will be the answer
to our dreams, to our prayers. to our
hopes. 1t will be the messenger of
glad tidings throughout the world.
Mr.. Mead spoke under the aus
pices of the National Federation of
Stamp Clubs and was heard locally
over Station WRC. He was intro
duced by Harry L. Lindquist, editor
and publisher of Stamps Magazine,
New York.

mended before than seems to have
brought good results.
Procure a turkey or goose wing
feather. Cut the light end into the
shape of the top of the ear, long
enough to reach the base outside.
Put thin coat of shellac on the
ear and on the feather, then press
the feather firmly on the outside
of the ear. 1t will dry in three or
four minutes. Allow it to remain
on the dog for at least 10 days.
Remove the feather and shellac
with a little alcohol, and you will
find that the animals ears will
remain standing erect.

ITO all this most be added this
countless games in which chances
of bringing about a superiority suf-
ficient to enforce stalemate have
to be deliberately rejected In the
hope that more inferior play by
ones opponent may occur in time
for win to be realized under the
present rule.
THE naked fact emerges that the
present rule has little to commend
1t, whereas its indirect effect is TO
necessitate a far higher degree of
inequality between the contestants
than expediency demands, at a
grave sacrifice Of logic, and, that,
with the examples of Chinese and
Muslin chess as historical prece-
dents. the rule should be changed" I"
Tylor's reasons are good; his con-
tentions sound. How would you, as
an average player, answer them?
You might reply that, to abolish
the rule of "stalemate Is draw"
would benefit only the few master
players and deprive the vast horde
of average chessists of a device that
always holds the hope of honor
vindicated" by the most besieged
player. If a player is superior, he
should be superior enough to OBJ
tain clear-cut win, and the for
tunes Of war should allow the pos
sibility of retreat with honor.
AS for Chinese and Muslin an
cient precedents-history is human
and is twisted ever to serve the spe-
ciflc purpose of man as circum-
stances change. Since chess was
born in India, hold to modifica-
ton of the old Indian rule that
stalemate is "a win to the side
suffering therefrom," and Sarratt
would not give a win but a draw
when the impasse is reached. Often
in actual warfare the superior army
does not truly win. but a negotiated
peace ensues. In chess, so often
compared to mimic war, victory
should be decisive and certain, for
only thus may a superior player
prove his superiority.

Hobbies and

By Edmund Henderer

Although a nice kit for model
sailing yacht is available at SIS, most
people seem to prefer to build from
raw materials. However, there are
many kits for exhibition model boats.
ranging in price from 10 cents to S35.
Five to eight dollars will buy kits
which may be made into thorough
ly satisfactory models with only a
reasonable amount of work. These
kits contain all materials required,
and in many of them the hull is
carved roughly to shape.
In the speedboat group, the greater
number are built without the use
of kits. but here again there are a
few available. A satisfactory one
can be purchased for $3.50 In this
field, as with planes, a motor must
be bought separately. They run
from $685. to $40. with $3.50 being
the most popular price. Accessories
will cost about 81 additional.
It Is possible to buy a miniature
race car which is completely assem-
bIed, including the motor installa-
ton. Put gasoline in the tank, start
the motor and away it goes. Such
q car lacking only gas, will cost
about S23. But most cars are bought
in kit form, without motor. These
kits cost from $3.50 to $3.50, with
those about $3.50 being popular.
The bodies also are available al
ready assembled from $50 to S45,
with SET ones selling best.
In every case except the first one
mentioned, motor must be pur-
chased to drive the car. Motors for
this purpose run all the way from
S695 to S35. with those around S25
the most popular. A few incidental
items needed will cost under 81.
It is expected that Washington
will soon have track especially de-
signed for racing these cars, and
a big boom in their construction
undoubtedly will follow.
The Metropolitan Society Of Model
Engineers is sponsoring trip to
New York next Sunday to visit the
18th annual exhibition of the New
York Society of Model Engineers.
The display includes model planes,
ships, railroads and automobiles
The Union Connecting Railroad"
probably the largest o gauge model
road in the world, is part of the
show. PHOTOGRAPHERS are welcome
to take all the pictures they like
and there are railroad and streetcar
lavouts for the public to operate.
Special entertainment is being ar
ranged for those women who do not
wish to spend all their time at the
show.
The fare will be at excursion rates
and reservations should be made in
advance, since the party will have
special cars. The exhibition is not
open to the general public on Sum-
day, therefore, those going will meet
at the Union Station information
booth at 7:30 am. for special passes.
So that the committee will know
how many to provide for, drop
