Dogs from the Washington area
still continue TO make good at near
and far shows. Last weeks Whining
ton fixture found a number of them
best of breed winners. Mrs. Myra
Habicht'S toy Manchester, Russell's
Princess Tiny Tot, not only topped
the breed but was third in the group.
Herman Dukers whippet, Miss Pan
talettes, was best of breed and first
in the hound group Mrs. Lucy
KaleS Lady Lou Won Kahle was
best St. Bernard, and the Marien-
land Kennels Doberman Pinscher.
Westhalia's Rameses, was best Dobe
and third in the group.
Probably one of the best records
made recently by locally owned
dog is that piled up by R. w. Lyons
bulldog, Lonarch TUCSON. Billy
was best of winners at Far Hills,
N. j.; reserve winner at Devon, Pa:
best of breed and second in the
group at Greensboro, N. c.: best Of
opposite sex at Danville, Va, and
best Of breed and fourth in the
group at Roanoke, Va. Not bad,
Billy.
Mrs. L. Gene Mcneil, Detroit,
claims a record litter Of schipperkes.
The puppies, 10 of them, were sired
by her international champion, AL
genes Little Black Joe, and are
owned by DR.. and Mrs. L. z. Lee
of Greenville, S. c., who own the
dam, Potage Of Kelso. The schip-
perke is a very small breed, seldom
weighing over 10 pounds at matu-
ity and generally produce only two
or three pups in a litter.
There are but a few of this breed
in the country and comparatively
few breeders. However. Washing
ton now has at least three schip-
perke fanciers, Albert Frank, Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey Brown and Mrs.
Myra Habicht.
According to a news item In the
English Dog World quoted by Ken
mel News Bulletain, a government
kennel is now under way in which
woman trainers are working to train
dogs as guards for the r. A. F.
Many breeds Of dogs are being used,
most of them donated for the dura-
ton. Women are not only working
as trainers but many are enrolling
to train themselves as trainers.
After the war there will be classes
and trials for these dogs, and each
dog will be granted a prefix which
will assure him a large measure of
distinction and his owner much
qualification.
Charles c. Williams. blind man
of Orlando, Fla, has signed up for
duty in the home defense organiza-
ton. He pointed out that nobody
could equal his utility-that is. his
and his Seeing Eye dog's-in case of
a blackout He could carry messages
far more effectively in the total
dark than could any one with two
good eyes.
1t is Is years since Buddy and
her blind master. Morris Frank, pio-
neered for the Seeing Eye. Together
they established a service that may
mean more than ever in the present
state of world affairs.

The fiedgling District Doberman
Pinscher Club is setting a good eX-
ample for some of the older and
more firmly set breed clubs in this
area. Its latest project is class
in obedience training for Dober-
mans, started last Tuesday and open
to all Dobermans whose owners are
members of the club. The training
is supervised by Sam Brick, Baltl-
more, a licensed judge of both
Dobermans and obedience test trials.
Glasses meet every Tuesday at 7
pm. at 1880 Fourteenth street NV.
For further information about both
club and the training classes, call
or write Mrs. E A. Adams, 45l2 Van
Ness street NV, Emerson 1923, the
new secretary of the Or
ganiZation.
Interest in this breed is growing
in this vicinity. A recent open meet
ing of the club brought out an
audience of over 70 Dobe owners, all
interested in learning how best to
develop the unusual intelligence and
characteristics of the breed.
Fred Berger, former member Of
the Washington Bulldog Club, is in
town for a visit. With him is his
father, who has interesting tales
to tell about dog breeding and show
ing in the old days. A popular form
of canine sport was once the fighting
of pit bull terriers. It was one of
these which became hero in Louis
lana, Mr.. Berger's native State.
In fact, it was a dog belonging
to Mr.. Bergers brother that was
the hero, and is the only dog hon
ored by a statue to its memory in
that State. The dog gloried in the
rather gruesome name Of Jack the
Ripper and we'll merited it, for he
would fight on sight or smell. His
prowess in the pit brought in a well
come piece of change ever so often
to his sporting young owner. But
| it was not his ring victories that
caused the erection of the statue
on Avery Island Jack showed his
mettle in tooth-to-claW encounter
with bobtail wildcat and came of
/ the victor. The statue was the re-
ward from grateful community.
Every once in while there is
born dog with so much personality
that he becomes the talk not only
Of his own folks but of all who are
privileged to know him. Such a doe
is 1t. Lamont A. Williams Bozo, &

Stamps from 1847 soon will be

lecting the philatelic public is in
debted principally to Deputy Third
Assistant Postmaster General Roy
M. North. In the, preparation of
the manuscript he had the assist
ance of Robert E. Fellers, superin-
tendent of stamps, and Robert c.
King, assistant superintendent, but
the inspiration and driving force
were his own.
Only 18 members of the Washing
ton Philatelic Society attended the
quarterly business meeting on
Wednesday evening. The absence
of a quorum resulted in the post
ponement of action, but a test of
sentiment indicated predominant
opposition to a proposed alteration
of the constitution limiting the
privilege of voting to persons ac-
tually present at the annual busi-
ness session in Maya suggestion
which would disenfranchise ma
jority of members whose annual
dues are, to say the least, an inn
perative necessity to the successful
operation Of the club.

the usual 'Republica Argentina and
'Correos, &C.. Today the name OF

North China postage stamps have
overprints of two characters each
to indicate which of several prov
inces sold the adhesives. The pur-
pose of these markings is to forestall
smuggling from South and Central
China. where they may be bought
at a discount because of currency
fluctuations.
Palestine announces new series
of three denominations-25 m,

From Bohemia -Moravia comes a

The design is a sprig of mulberry

"Bohmen und Mahren" and "Cechy

Sympathy for Russia might be
more profound among American
stamp collectors if in the days OF
peace between 1920 and 1899 the
Bolshevik postal authorities had re-
Trained from inflicting upon the
worldwide philatehc public the

it seems, represent the Marxist con-
ception of what is art.
The 1912 edition of the Kenmore
Catalogue of Stamps of the British
Commonwealth of Nations has been

Prices are rising, but the fact merely
serves to exemplify the investment
value of intelligent collecting.
Philip H. Ward, jr., writing in
Mekeel'S Weekly Stamp News for
October 13, mentions the fact that
"the new 1941 envelopes which went

Almost any kind of leather may
be obtained, ready cut, for these
shoes, but elk is used most often,
as it is very tough. Kid is the
second favorite and makes a more
dresSy shoe.
Eight hours is considered fast
time for a good workman in pro-
ducing these shoes. so it is easy
to see why it is not likely to become
anything more than a hobby. Mr..
Grimm has made shoes for himself
and his wife. He doesn't think it
a good idea to make them for
children, as they are outgrown too
quickly to make it worthwhile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grimm had no
children, so they recently adopted
two, a boy and a girl. Queried as
to their hobbies, the boy said he
formerly built airplanes, but MI.
Grimm had given him stamp COL
lection and the planes had lost out.
All his spare change goes to buy
stamps. His sisters main interests
are drawing and painting, at which
she is quite adept.
Mr.. Grimm's further interests in
clude gardening. He raises mostly
vegetables, with some flowers for
the artistic side.
