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

OF all odd hobbies, the oldest
might seem to be that of collecting
epitaphs. Yet, who, at sometime or
other, has not strolled through an
old church yard and read the in
scriptions on the stones? With so
many human interest stories half
revealed on the stones the attrac-
tions of such a hobby became ap-
parent.
Mrs. Martha B. Parran, 1929 M
street NV, has been collecting
epitaphs and obituaries since 1884.
Her first was taken from a New
Orleans newspaper in that year and
reads as follows:
"Henrritter
Emariter
Demaritter
Sweet-potato
Creamatarter
Carolina Bostic
beloved and only child of Suky
and Bob Catlin. Born in Social Cir
Gle, Ga, 1843. Died in Wetumpka,
1882"
Her interest having been aroused
by this curious name, Mrs. Parran
began the collection which now fills
some so pages in loose-leaf book.
Whenever possible, .she verifies the
authenticity of new one sent to
her, and in each case has noted in
the book the origin and verificatiOn,
if any, of the item. Many, of course,
she has herself copied from the orig
inal. One such, which is peculiar
only because of the lack of a comma,
is this:
"Once we had little Harry,
He was our darling pride.
God called him home to rest
His Mother"
Mrs. Parran's notes and observa-
tions on her collection are often as
good as the items themselves.
"A certain man must have had
hard time with his two wives" she
said. "On the tombstone of the first
wife was the epitaph:
The Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord
The second bears this:
81 called upon the Lord and He
heard me and delivered me out of all
my troubles.
Another oddity is the lengthy in
scription from the grave of a watch
maker. 1t includes mention Of
numerous parts of a watch in refer
ring to the man.

Twenty pairs. all masters, partici-
pated in the contest. Mr.. and Mrs
Lemon not only won in the final
tabulation, but they were winners at
both sessions, the first having been
held on July 2. A mistake in the
score accredited Oscar J. Brotmsn
and Al Roth with having the lead by
margin of one-half a point in the
first match; their actual score made
them second. Four pairs were almost
evenly matched in the first heat, be-
ing less than two points apart. In
the total for both games, however,
the Lemons increased their lead by
six points for a total of 3l4. S. c.
Churchill and lie Roy Thurtell were
second with 308 points, having come
up from fourth place, which they
made two weeks before. DR.. A. j.

that position in the finals. There
was a spread of 114l2 points between
the winners and the last of the 20
pairs.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Comments on Variety of Subjects of Interest
To Washington Pet Owners
BY r. r. TarntOn.

When the present war began there
was much said and done about the
excess dog population In fact and
in fiction, thousands of pets were
sent to the happy hunting grounds
On the theory that they consumed
food that might be needed for
human consumption, that they
would suffer unnecessarily during air
raids, and their masters would have
neither opportunity nor patience
to look after them.
One of the early reactions to the
wholesale slaughter, aside from the
instant protests of dog lovers and
humane societies. was the discovery
that with the dogs gone, the rat
and mouse population increased so
rapidly and was so destructive and
ate SO much of the necessary foods,
that dogs had to be called out of
hiding to hold down the rodents.
Now comes the reaffirma ton from
the medical world that in war as in
peace. dogs are among the greatest
mental healerS. Interest in a dog or
dogs has proven to be one of the best
means of maintaining a mental bal
ance among civilians constantly sub
jected to bombings. Dogs. on the
other hand. once they become accus-
toned to the bombings, seem to Suf-
fer no i'll effects from them unless
injured physically. Many dogs make
excellent loOkoutS for aerial raiders.
Interest in pure-bred dogs, be-
cause it often leads to a hobby of
breeding or showing, is even more
important than just love of any dog.
Such interest, in turning the hobby
lists mind awav from himself, has
great therapeutic value.
A summer problem that seems to
confront more and more people is
that of shipping dogs by express.
In summer particularly, a dog should
be shipped in a substantial, we'll
built crate. but one that has plenty
of ventilation. Heavy wire screen
ing, too heavy for the dog to chew
through, may form the upper halves
of three sides of the crate. The
crate should be large enough for the
dog to stand up in and move around
Cedar shavings or shredded news
paper make good bedding, easily
cleaned out A dish should be
fastened into the crate for water
A grown dog if only on an over
night trip, need not be fed while
travelling. A puppy should have
directions for feeding fastened to
the crate Either may have good
big knuckle bone to chew on. II
possible, it is wise to ship dog in
the evening TO arrive the morning
of the next day. If he is shipped
after supper and arrives before
breakfast, he may spend the night
in comfortable sleep while travelling
If he is shipped on a trip of the
same duration but in the daytime
the extra commotion and close con-
finement during hours when he
would normally be out. are much
| more nerve racking.

pionS in this breed. Just recently,
she made her debut as Judge Of
Boston terriers in a licensed. all

judging assignments await her COM
plete recovery.
Dogs still engage the attention Of
the legislators. In Pennsylvania,
tattooing has been adopted as a
legal means of identification. A
number is tatooed inside the dogs
ear and officially recored with the
county recorder. This is done by
a veterinarian who usually charges
dollar fee. 1t provides a positive
and lasting means of Identification
in case a dog is lost or stolen and
then recovered. When a dog is lost,
the county recorder is notified 9nd
he in turn notifies the State police.
This method of Identification is of
particular value to hunting Cog own
ers in hunting season.
