Washington Hobbies and Lobbyists

Harold H. Rice and Horace Thorne.
MIR. Locke gave "reminiscences Of his
early years as rail fan. Mr. Rice re-
ported on observations made during
a recent business trip through States
as far west as Wisconsin and Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Thorne concluded an
entertaining evening by recounting
some of his thrilling experiences on
street cars and interurbans.
The hobby show held by the Gage
School Parent-Teacher Association
brought to light many interesting
avocations and some new ones. A
large collection of all sorts of deco
rative pins was displayed by Walter
Schilling and attracted much atten-
ton.
Other lobbyists whose avocations
deserved particular note were: Allan
Donaldson and Robert Leedy for a
large and diversified collection of
little soldiers which once contained
candy, Mrs. Charles Kendall for her
crocheted bedspreads, Mrs. M. M.
Kilerlane for a collection of objects
she has brought back from the West
Indies, Mrs. M. E. Beard, visitor
from Texas, for her wood and peach
stone carvings; w. J. Eek for his
hammered copper work and Ralph
Jackson for his wooden toys, swings
and other playthings.

All signs point to a bigger and
better Morris and Essex show than
ever. This is the largest show, in
door or outdoor, in the world, the
most beautiful. the most spectacu-
lar, and the richest. More is done
for the exhibitor at this dog show
than at any other in the world and
each year Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge,
the shows angel, thinks of more
things to do to improve it.
This year the show is scheduled
for May 81, which falls in the mid
die of a three-day holiday week
end, enabling many who might
otherwise be unable to attend to
take it in. The entire field has
been regarded and an underground
sprinkling system installed. The
roads beside the benching tents
have been Strengthened, widened
and paved with crushed stone and
tar. The special section cut out
of the woods for the toy dogs last
year has been reconditioned for
their exclusive use. Undoubtedly
this is the finest and most elab-
crate field ever laid out for use
only one day a year.

Once again hobby plays its part
as possible life saver by providing
an interesting occupation for un-
wanted leisure forced upon a man.
About four years ago, N. M. Hall
slipped on an icy street and suffered
injuries which left him unable to
continue his work.
Mr.. Hall had spent a very active
life and for many years his business
had kept him travelling most Of the
time. Such a sudden stoppage of ac-
tivity has been the beginning Of the
end for more than one person, but
Mr.. Halls sister, Mrs. r. G. Alex
ander, with whom he lives. realized
the danger and forestalled it. She
saw an advertisement for demon
stration of the process of making
hooked rugs, knew it was something
her brother probably could do and
suggested he investigate the matter
The final result was that Mr.. Hal
became interested in rug-making and
has since spent many fruitful hours
at his hobby.
Mr.. Hall makes his rugs in a man.
ner slightly different from that by
which the old-time hooked rug was
produced. The base of these rugs Is
a piece Of fairly heavy cloth of a
rather coarse weave. This base cloth
has q design stamped on the back by
the manufacturer which may be
used If desired. Mr.. Hall normally
does so, since he feels he lacks the
artistic ability to create his own
Evening star., 1941-04-20

patterns. However, he often changes
the color scheme to suit his own
ideas and with good results.
Part of the base cloth is placed on
a frame and the thread, of rayon
and wool, is worked through with a
needle. Each tuft is placed and cut
separately. There are go stitches to
square inch of rug and some rugs
are 54x82 inches A rug of this size
has 265, $50 stitches on it; each one
placed and cut by hand. It's easy to
see why there are some $50 hours OF
work on such rug. Incidentally the
rugs are so fine and soft it seems al
most sacrilege to walk on them. AS
the work progresses the base cloth is
moved up on the frame until the en-
tire design has been worked. The
tufts are trimmed to correct length
one line at a time, as the lines are
completed.
Mr.. Halls rugs have been dis
played in the window Of a local de-
partment store, where they attract
ed much attention. 1t was at this
same store that he learned to make
the rugs and. he still does about half
of his work there. The light is good,
he said, and it gives him chance
to get out and see people and talk
about his hobby. He keeps frame
set up at the store and another in
his apartment at TIT G street NV.

being for a Scotty whose owner
happened to drop in at the Office of
her veterinarian, saw the entry

If you are in doubt about the

a good rule to follow is puppy class
if he is between and - months,
novice class if he is over a year
but never has been shown, limit class
If he is blue ribbon winner but not
a sure fire purple ribbon winner, and
American bred or open if he can
stand hot competition. If you live in
this area try the local class. There
are some swell prizes being offered
for local exhibitors.
If you would like few pointers on
how to show your dog, take him to

The greatest chess masters and
modern chess columnists realize
and acknowledge the instruction
and entertainment value of corre-
spondence chess. DR.. Max Euwe,
former world champion, claims that
correspondence chess was largely
responsible for developing Paul
Keres of Estonia into a brilliant
grand master. DR.. Alexander Alex
hin, world champion, advocates cor
reSpondence chess as one of the best
ways to improve your game. Anton
Y. HeSSe, for years president Of
the District Chess League, believes
postal chess to be an asset and
warmly indorses correspondence
play to develop knowledge of analy-
sis and fundamental principles OF
these openings.
World War II interrupted the
1000 board-a-side Anglo
correspondence tournament of con-
tinental proportions. Now comes
the first annual national United
States team match between East
and West to fill the breach. The

for tactical maneuvers against the
enemy. Players from this area will
be seeded into the East team. Every
player will be a second louie" with

THE OTHER SIDE
OF The QUESTION

Your editorial oI Monday, September
Is. was thought provoking. We all ad-
nit that there ule two sides to every
question ard You have presented one.
As parents and taxpayers we have
given il considerable thought and discus
sion. We can hardly see the basis for the
hoys' claims that they have no place
other than the pool halls to so for their
racreation This WAS the common cry
few wears ago which lead to the $1,000
Government project resulting in our play

low that i would exclude no one. In

because il was too near home to be inter-

1t seems to us that these boys from
Iloltville have gone much beyond the
stage Of childish prankS and as such
cannot be regarded as children. TO our
certain knowledge. several Of them were
holding Jobs with a good salary and could
hardly complain Of having nothing to DO
for al least eight hours of the day. 1t
seems a rather lame excuse at best to
make something to do" by going out
and stealing parts from peoples cars
in The few remaining hours Of the day,
when they We're making ample spending
money.
Surely YOU as "a taxpayer cannot accept
the idea that the public should be held
responsible for giving our young people
more facilities for entertainment than
they already have, as we'll as educating
them. WHY is it our responsibility to
entertain them further? Surely it would
take no more brains to spend their money
more intelligentiy and buy boxing gloves
(Which were listed among their wants)
than it would to sWipe a pair of fender

their part by making the boys feel well

In other words, why not put the blame
where it belongS-on the boys, and also
on the parents who have fallen down on
their Jobs in building up character and
responsibility in their sons, and develop

VIII an editorial such as yours, which
mollycoddles and practically condones
such crimes as these, actually help the
boys or will it tend to encourage them
to continue down the path they have
started and go from bad to worse?
We are not in the habit Of writing
"letters to the editor" but we feel in this
case our community was so unjustly
blamed that we are going to bat for it.
