If one wanted to rationalize his
choice of Miss Lamar, as II any one
could be that silly. he could argue
that she had progressed beyond be-
ing a darkish beauty who photo
graphed perfectly as smouldering
piece of protoplasm.
Instead of treating her merely as
an effect, or using her atmosphef-
ically, Neutrality-suspicious. began
to let her try a bit of acting in
"Comrade X" 1t started as a sort Of
a gag, the funny gag of putting
Miss Lamar in overalls and letting
her play Moscow streetcar
driver, but it ended by indicating
that the girl could act somewhat
less slightly than others the COM
pany could name
Since then, Miss Lamar has
played the leading feminine role
in H. M. Pulham. ESQ.," rather
prize assignment, and suddenly will
blossom forth as John Garfield S
partner in John Steinbeck's TOR
tilla Flats"
Perhaps that is not what the sur
vey maker means by his word
progress.
Grant him that and we still don't
care. Miss Lamar is our choice Of
the girl who came farthest in the
movies in 1941 and We don't want
any argument.

Obedience training and obedience
test classes still continue to be the
big news in the world of pure bred
dogs. Never has a phase of sport
with dogs attained such wide popu-
larity in such short time. 1t is
only five years since the obedience
trial was recognized by the Ameri-
can Kennel Club as one of its forms
OF competition, yet today obedience
trials often put in the shade the
bench competition at dog shows.
There are obedience training
clubs in 18 States and Hawaii, and
over 100 obedience trials were held
in 1910. While the obedience tests
were first introduced into this coun-
try from England in New York
State, they rapidly gained favor all
over the country. PENNSYLVANIA
leads in number of obedience clubs,
having five. Massachusetts, Con-
necticut and Illinois have four
apiece. New York. Virginia and
California have three obedience
clubs each, while New Jersey, Mary
land, Minnesota and Ohio each have
two training clubs. Kansas, Michi-
gan, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Texas,
South Carolina and Oregon have
one each.
There are AZ clubs where both
dogs and their owners learn to-
gether how to compete in the trials
for companion dog &C. d., COM
panion dog excellent &C. D. X.O and
utility dog (U. d. titles. One of
the benefits for the dog owner not
often mentioned is the learning of
patience, for no dog can be trained

To large extent, the public con-
siders stamp and coin collectors to
be one and the same. Actually there
are probably only a few philatelists
who are also numismatists, and the
total number of the latter is far
smaller than that of the former.
The reasons for this may be hard to
determine, but the coin collectors
find their hobby no less engrossing
than that of the stamp collectors.
Richard Graham has been nu-
mismatist for 16 years and finds it
more interesting today than when
he started. His collection began
with some old coins given him by
his grandfather, and while he always
has acquired all old or foreign coins
which have come his way, his chief
interest for many years was pennies.
At one time, he had 1900 Indian
head pennies alone.
About a year and half ago, Mr..
Graham purchased a number Of
cards designed to hold coin collec-
tions, selected the best of his United
States coins and arranged them on
the cards. This sorting out of the
best allowed him to dispose of some
of his excess coins and search more
carefully for these he lacked. The
coins mounted on these cards in
clude Lincoln and Indian pennies,
liberty, buffalo and shield nickels,
three types of quarters and Mercury
and liberty dimes.
The oldest coin in Mr.. Graham's
collection dates from IT'S and his
oldest United States coin is a half
penny of 1911. He Is more inter-
ested In American coins than in the
