The American Kennel Club finally
has recognized the fact that many
champion or potential champion is
one of litter of "kitchen-raised"
pups. For long time it was thought
that the owner of the large kennel
had all the advantage in raising
show dogs. 1t is true that the ken
mel owner has a larger variety of
dogs from which to choose at show
time. He can pick a dog to suit the
inclination of the judge who hap
pens to be officiating at the given
show. He almost always has some
dog that is in show shape. He can,
and must, show more frequently and
pile up reserve of reputation for
good dogs.
But the one or two dog owner, pro-
vided the one or two dogs are the
right ones, has many advantages.
His brood matron is under his con-
slant care, and he can catch any
coming mishap in time. His litter
of puppies is raised in the house,
where he can watch over them, give
each one individual attention and
allow it to develop a real PERSONAL
ity. He can pick the best one from
constant observation and can gauge
its needs from day to day. His in
terest in the puppies is far keener
than that Of any kennel man posi-
bly, can be, regardless of how good
kennel man he may be.
While the large kennel owner and
his hired help may have somewhat
the edge in experience and the
tricks of the trade, the one-dog
owner soon gains the experience and
generally does not need to resort TO
the tricks of the trade. Ch. Nornay
Saddler, the fox terrier with the
world record for best in show wins,
and ch. My Own Brucie, the cocker
spaniel who twice won at Westmin-
ster and once at Morris and Es-
sex. an unparalleled feat, were both
kitchen-raised pups.
Another subject that often comes
up for consideration is the size of
lltters. Outsize litters always get
the publicity. The American Ken
mel Club has a record Of II live
puppies whelped by an Irish setter.
l6 springer spaniel, great Dane
and Newfoundland pup litters,
whelped and alive at registration
time. and number Of l5-litter reg
istrations. But nobody ever heard of
any of the individual pups in those
litters. The experienced breeder
would rather have normal or small
size litters and raise them care
fully with a good chance of get
ting show specimen or flyer.
which. to get commercial. might sell
for $500 or more, than a bunch of
weedy pups to sell at $40 or SIS
each.
More than one litter Of only one
pup has proved to be a better prop
os1tion than several big litters. In
this regard. too, the kitchen breeder
has the advantage II he has only
one or two pups in litter, they are
all the more precious and get even
more attention than If he had six
or seven, which might prove 10 be

Car and bus tokens interest many
people and a typical collection of
them Is owned by Charles j. Clifford
of Silver Spring, Md. Mr.. Clifford
started his collection shortly after
coming to Washington from Denver,
Colo, l3 years ago.
His interest in the subject was
aroused when he noticed that a
newly purchased token was inscribed
For Government Use Only" He
started watching for other variations
in local tokens and also for out-of-
town ones.
He now has three types of Wash
ington car tokens and one from the
old Washington Rapid Transit Co.
bus line. There are "a towns and
cities represented IN his present COL
lection.
Mr.. Clifford exhibited his collec-
ton in the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey hobby show and later received
three tokens from people who saw
his display in the show.
While still a resident of Denver
Mr.. Clifford worked for the Denver
Tramway Co. for a short time.
Metal car tokens were not in use
in Denver at that time and he added
this city to his collection only after
recent visit there.
For display purposes Mr.. Clifford
has his tokens mounted on black
cards with the name typed on slips
of white paper and pasted below the
tokens.
All sections of the country are
represented in this collection, some
of the towns being Seattle, Troy,
Mobile, Omaha, Miami, Honolulu
and Manila The two last-named
ones were brought back by friend
of Mr.. Clifford's after visits there.
New items for a collection of this
sort are not obtained every day and
Mr.. Clifford's more prosaic hobby
is constructing such things as built
in book shelves and fireplace screens
for his home.
Farm Credit Administration en-
ployes recently held a hobby show

vania avenue with so entrants.

In Local Bridge Circles
By Frank B. Lord.

Contract bridge superiority be-
tween the best players of Washing
ton. Baltimore and the entire State
Of Maryland. will be determined.
temporarily at least. at the fourth
annual Maryland State Master Pair
Tournament to be held in Baltimore
next Saturday and Sunday.
The term best players" is relative
and in this instance applies only to
those who have proved their skill
and ability to such extent that they
are recorded as masters" on the
lists OF the American Contract
Bridge League, the Official and rec
ognized organization of tournament
players in the Eastern section of the
United States. There are rubber
bridge players who never play in
tournaments and who are doubtless
just as good as the best Of the dupli-
cate players, but they are not eligible
to participate in this tourney be-
cause they have never taken part in
duplicate matches and earned their
masters degree in competition.
In order to play in the Baltimore
event a player must be master,
holding one or more national master
points. Only such players are quail
fed. Numerically. there are twice
as many master players in Wash
ington as in Baltimore. but the con-
test will not be one where numbers
will decide the result.
The tourney will be held in the
Southern Hotel under sponsorship
of the Maryland Bridge League. a
unit of the A. c. B. L. There will
be three sessions, two on Saturday
and one on Sunday. All players will
take part in each game with no
eliminations. There will be a beau
tiful trophy, emblematic of victory
in this event, which will be awarded
to the winners and retained by them
until the next years tournament.
There also will be individually en-
graved trophies for the first and
second pairs. Top score prizes will
be awarded to the highest pair at
the end of each session.
Due to the high caliber of the
field. the A c. B. L. will make its
special award of master points. All
contestants are required to be men,
bers of the league or one Of its units.
Mrs. Allan Rutherford is chairman
of the Executive Committee of the
tournament. is assisted by Mrs C..
Stanley Davis and Joseph Grins-
fielder.
Competition was strong in the
Cavalier tournament at Virginia
Beach last week and Washington
players who usually have taken most
of the major trophies in former en-
gagements rated, on the average,
only second best. Roy Thurtell,
John D. Mothershed and Mrs. N. T.
N. Robinson, however, were able to
save the local players from rout.
Playing with Mrs. Lena Landauer,
Norfolk. in the mixed pair game, Mr..
Thurtell was co-winner and Mr..
Nothershed and Mrs. Robinson were
runnersup in the same match. Mr..
Thurtell was also second in the
open pair match, with r. L. Miles.
Norfolk, as his partner. The win
ners in that event were Mrs Rose
Nordlinger and Harry Fivel, Norfolk.
The team match on Sunday re-
suited in tie which was won in
the playoff by the Richmond team
of Preston Elicit, Ed Harlow, George
Bayliss and Mr.. Cavanaugh. The
Washington team of DR.. and Mrs
A. j. Steinberg, Louis Newman and
DR.. A. j. Salasky Of Richmond was
third.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
In Washington and Vicinity.
By X. X. Taynf0n.

Is seems as if the two months
before the last Saturday in May
and the two months following that
date are employed mostly in won-
dering what is going to happen at
Morris and Essex and rehaShing
what did happen at Morris and
Essex. The show is so vast, there Is
so much going on at once, the
crowds are so huge that ones i'm
pressions are kaleidoscope at first,
settle into definite patterns and fur
niSh food for though and amuse-
ment for days to come. At every
show where she exhibits, Anna Marie
Palermo, owner of the famous Saluki,
Marian II, is fun to watch. She is
so colorful and vivid, she postures
so gracefully and her dog is so
strikingly different from most
breeds. Seldom, however, has she
been so little aware of an audience
as when she shared her ice cream
cone with Marian, lick for lick!
Quite the sensation Of the show
was Edd and Pearl Armstrong S
bloodhound, ch. Buccaneer of Idol
Ours, which won the distinction of
the best American-bred dog in the
show. For a breed which gets as
little recognation in the show ring
as this one generally does. it was an
unprecedented victory. He made a
striking picture in the final ring
with his handler, Mrs. Armstrong
who was dressed, California fashion,
in dark red Slacks and a striped
blazer.
Altogether, Morris and Essex this
year proved to be an arena for
Western victories. The first-place
winner in the working group was
another California owned dog, a
German shepherd, ch. Odin Won
Busecher Schloss, owned by William
Heckert. Fourth-place winner-and
many at the ringside thought he
should be first place-in the nom
sporting group was still another
Californian, the Dalmation. ch.
Four-in- Hand Mischief, owned by
Louis Meeker. Third in the toy
group was William Bagshaw's min
iature pinscher. ch. King Eric OF
Konigsbach. also Californian
The Irish setter, Kleiglight Of Ara
gon, owned by the Aragon Kennels,
which placed second in the sporting
group. was from Illinois. A number
OF other breed winners which did
not get into the groups we're also
from States west of the Mississippi
which all goes to prove that the East
no longer has monopoly on the
best dogs. Also. that people will go
long way to exhibit their favorite
pooches.
One Of the most amusing Incl
dents Of the final hours of the show
occurred when the greyhound, Mont
peller Ichabod, owned by Mrs,
Marion Du Pont Scott. decided that
the judge was not paying enough
attention to him in the group. He
slipped his lead and started to show
what greyhound could do in the
way OF gaiting and pace making all
over the large ring. He did not fail
to slip into the place marked with
big purple l and pose briefly for
the admiration of the audience three
or four times during his cavortings.
He was having a grand time, and
SO was the audience of over 10000
spectators. but his handler had an
awfully red face!

Arnold on The Art of Annexation. I"
Mr.. Arnold calls attention to the
dry-as-dust annotator, the dogmatic
annotator and to that rare species
which combines an appreciation OF
the value of news space with the
elements of balance and tone. 1t
is far better to print game with
out notes than to spoil one with
irrational addenda. Local players
who annotate games for the press
should make their comments in
formative, judiciously distribute re-
marks to the best advantage, and
assume that the reader has a GER
tain knowledge of strategy and tao
tics. The ego should be suppressed,
and the viewpoint scholarly but
humorous, penetrating but without
malice or prejudice.
