Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
BY X. X. Taynfon.

Peter Pans Rebel, a Welsh terrier
bred by the Peter Pan Kennels of
Upper Marlboro and owned by Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Mullock of Silver
Spring, is the first dog of its breed
and one of the first of any breed In
this area to attain the distinction of
a Companion Dog Excellent degree.
Rebel is 21z years old and was
trained entirely by his owner in 10
cal obedience test classes. In COM
peting for the first obedience title,
Companion Dog, Rebel placed first
every time shown in the novice class.
He was shown at Baltimore, Nor
folk, Old Dominion and Pikesville,
all hotbeds of dog training groups,
so his competition was the keenest.
His qualifying scores for the Sec
ond title were made at Westchester,
Harrisburg, Reading and Washing
ton.
In addition to his participation in
obedience test trials at licensed dog
shows, Rebel has acted for the
movies in a Red Cross feature
called Marching with Old Glory"

It's hard to say whether William
H. Orsinger's hobby grew from the
fact that his father is fish, animal
and circus fan land director of the
aquarium) or from his efforts to win
a merit badge while Boy Scout.
Whichever 1t may have been, the
fact remains that he has an excel
lent collection of both beetles and
butterflies.
This collection was started about
seven years ago and formed the
basis for one of the 81 merit badges
Mr.. Orsinger had to obtain in be-
coming an Eagle Scout. His inter-
est in Scouting later helped pro-
vide opportunities to add to the
collections. He was nature councillor
at the Boy Scout Camp at Elgin, ILL.,,
during the summers of 1878 and
at our nearby Camp Theodore
Roosevelt in 1889. During the sum-
mer of 1910 he was fortunate
enough to have job in Yellowstone
National Park. These trips gave him
ample opportunity to add many fine
specimens to his collection.
In collecting trips nearby, Mr. Or
singer has established new localities
for several species of butterflies. He
also found two rare species OF beetles
not represented in the collection at
the National Museum. He pre-
sented duplicates of these beetles to
the museum.
This interest in hobby deter
mined the college course chosen by
the lobbyist. Mr.. Orsinger is a
Junior at Catholic University. He
is taking a pre-medical course be-
cause that offered him the greatest
number of classes in biology. He
figured that the four years of pre-
med would give him time to decide
what to do next. However, he is still
undecided
The beetle and butterfly collec-
tions are housed in two cabinets
which once contained maps located
in the owners bedroom. They are
not entirely satisfactory, though. be-
cause they are not dust and insect
proof, he said.

In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord

Just as the 18th National Bridge
Championship games were drawing
to a close in Richmond last Sunday
afternoon the flash came that the
japanese had attacked Hawaii. For
a time an effort was made to keep
the news from the players, but it
soon became known and is said to
have had an appreciable effect upon
some of them. The open pair game
was in progress. Oswald Jacoby,
one of the stars in the event, with

were 1870 pairs entered, two more than
ever had participated before. At the
opening of the finals, two con-
testants from Warren, Pa, DR.. r. H
Israel and DR.. Ridelsperger, were the
leaders, but whether from the effect
of the war news or otherwise, they
ended in 14th place, while Mrs. R.
c. Young and Sidney Silodor, both
of Philadelphia, who were second
at the start of the fourth round, ad-
vanced to first place to win the
coveted prize. Their score was 687
out of possible 1903 match points,
which was a comfortable lead over
their closest rivals, who had 658 to
CSC, respectively. James G. Stone
and DR.. E. B. Conolly, and S. G..
| Churchill playing with Cecil Head
of New York. were the only WASH
ingtonians to qualify for the last
session. The defending champions,
Mrs. A. M. Sobel and Charles H.
Goren, had what amounted only to
an average game.
In the team-of-four championship
game there was a new set of WIN
ners, Mrs. Sobel Simon Rossant,
and Peter Leventritt Of New York
and Mrs. Wilkinson Wagar of At
lanta. Their margin of victory, how
ever, was the smallest in the history
of the event. They finished just IL
1O0ths of a point ahead of the more
favored remember team of Walde-
mar Won Zedtwitz, Lee Hazen. A. M.
Barnes, S. G.. Churchill and Charles
Iaockridge. This team entered the
last round with a comfortable lead
over the other foursomes. with the
exception of the former three-time
champions, Messrs. Goren, Solomon,
Silodor and Mrs. Young, with whom
they were tied. In one set of six
boards, however, they won only one
point and in the end had to be con-
tent with second place while the
Goren team fell below them.
In one of the championship games
Dick Skinner, who spends so much
of his time in Washington that he is
often rated as a Washingtonian
although his home is in Massachu-
sets, had an interesting and for
tunate experience on the following

These, of course, are the dates OF
our major wars. Mr.. Baldwin was
waiting to find out what date to
apply to the locomotive. The events
of last week end have determined
that point for him.
An event of great Importance to all
Washington lobbyists was the re-
cent meeting of representatives of q
number of hobby clubs. This, the
third meeting of the group, w9s
marked by two decisions. Capitol
Hobby Association" was adopted as
the official name of the organization
and preliminary plans were laid for
hobby show next spring.
Delegates to the association are
now at work on the plans for this
show and hope to make it at least as
good as the one held last year at
Wardman Park Hotel. Possible To-
cation for the show are now being
checked and another meeting will
be held shortly.
The clubs forming the c. H. A.
are Miniature Power Boat Club of
Washington, Metropolitan Society of
Model Engineers, Electric Railroad

Society, Washington Association of
Model Plain Clubs, Washington Ra-

TO the committees Of engineer so

which ore studying oir-roid defense Of
our cities, is now added the National
Fire Protection Association. The mid
winter meeting Of this body was partly
devoted to the problem Of protecting
American cities from bomb and fire
losses. Horotio Bond, Boston engineer
and spokesman for the association, was
quoted as soyine that bombing Of great
American cities is q likely, not O remote
possibility.
There is no need to get historical
about this, to rush out in the back yard
and start digging bomb shelter. But it
is no longer premature for commune
ties to begin studying the problems Of
bomb-shelter and fire-protection in
cose Of air roids.
If an emergency we're to occur. it
might come quickly and with little
warning. II every community knows
what must be done, it can be done
quickly.

CIVIL SERVICE IN CITIES

One of the basic elements Of q no.
tons strength is the honesty Of its
local government. Few nations have
risen higher than that stamford, and
many have found that CROFT and cyni-
cism in community responsibilities soon
communicate themselves to the web
of national offoirs.
Hence it is ground for solid sotisfoc-
ton that the Civil Service Assembly
of the United Stotes is able to report
that new odoptions and extensions Of
the merit system have brought this
method of selecting public employees
to it's highest recorded point in Ameri-
can Stote and municipal government
Within recent months the cities Of
Omoho, Neb., Limo, Ohio, and Sheboy-
gan, Wis.,, have adopted civil service
systems. In the November elections,
six towns and one county chose to &C
cept the services Of the State Civil
Service Commission of New Jersey, and
q merit system was approved by voters
of Sonto Clara County, California.
This brings the number Of munich
politics which have merit systems to
nearly 900, as compared with fewer
!thons4 0.only ten years oeo. Mean
while, the number of Stotes choosing
employees by examinations instead Of
political patronage hos doubled.
These ore important gains in improv
ing the quality Of American govern
mont. The progress should be kept up.
For the total of employees Of Stote and
local governments in the United Stotes
is even larger than that Of the Federal
Government.
