This warning, coming at a time
when more than 100000 volunteers
are engaged in Coast-to-Coast drive
Cor farm scrap, is expected to spur
local efforts and arouse the fullest
cooperation on the part of all citi-
zens in the agricultural areas of the
nation.
Government sources estimate that
approximately SO per cent of all iron
and steel scrap now in the posses
sion of individuals and families is
located in the homes and on the
farms of rural America This estab-
fishes rural fouseholders and farm
ers, next to industry, as the nation s
most important source of iron and
steel scrap.
Steel men point out that the mills
are now producing the greatest ton
mage of steel in their history. New
furnaces are constantly being add
ed to increase the output. Steel they
say, is made approximately of SO
percent virgin iron ore and SO per-
cent scrap. Actually, as much as SIS
and 60 percent scrap is now being
used, and the War Production
Board says that unless the farms
and rural areas yield millions Of
tons before snow falls, it will not
be possible to keep the mills opera
ting at maximum capacity.

5CHESSY
The Game and Its
Players
By Paul J. Miller,

Over so problem fans competed
in the 1941 Mundelle Memorial
Problem Solving Tournament of
The Star, many fans scaling the
problem ladder to within 20 points
Of the possible l47-point zenith.
Some fans soon directed that their
solutions be applied toward The
Star Honor Certificate, given to
any one who solves correctly any
so problems that may appear in
this column. A few fans sent in
solutions only when special maga-
zine prizes were offered. However,
as we review the enormous guam
tity of chess mail that has literally
poured into this department during
the last four months we are very
pleased with the quality CT solu-
tions sent and the earnestness and
thoroughness that characterizes the
efforts Of amateur and veteran.
Problems Nos. 1854 through 404
constituted the basis Of the tourna-
ment. No. 376 "a headache, indeedD
was deleted from the final evalua-
ton and no credit points given.
Even If points had been given, we
would not have had to change the
point totals of those solvers in the
upper bracket, for they were equal
ly comparative.
As to cook" few problems merit
ed this charge, so we promptly dis
counted earlier surmises and agreed
with the old and new masters"

eagerness to find fault, having failed
to delve deeply into the mechanics
of a problem, cry wolf" say the

one correct solution and write dia-
tribes, annotated and argumentative
Seldom are the experts wrong, but
we try to give every challenge due
study. In our contests each fan has
his day in court.
OF the 40 problems offered for
solution, No. 400 counted 7 points,
the maximum score on any problem.
Other problems were scored on the
basis Of as many points as moves re-
quired for solution plus one point
bonus for sending in any solution
whether right or wrong. Thus, it
was possible for a fan to tally a
possible lat points on the 40 con-
test problems.

NEWS FROM DOGDOM
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest in
Washington and Vicinity
By r. r. Taynfon.

The Baltimore Dog Show last
week might well be considered a
forecast Of the 1912 dog show year.
Entries were down 10 per cent from
last year. A large part Of the show
was local or from nearby. Many
out-of-town exhibitors came by
train in preference to driving.
Those who did drive found the roads
unusually clear Of traffic, and the
going very good.
A number of the big winners
of last year and the year before
are back on the circuit, including
Mrs. James Austin's phenomenal
Pekingese, Oh. Oh. Lie of Matson's
Catawba; Mrs. Cheever Porter's
Irish setter, Ch. Rosecroft Premiere;
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Holden Whites
smooth fox terrier, Ch. Desert Dep
uty; Marion Florsheim's Afghan
hound, Ch. Chana Of Raman of
Royal Irish; Mrs. Edward Alkers
Welsh terrier. Oh. Rare Bit of Twin
Ponds; Tom Gateley's wire fox ter
rier, Boarzell's Brightest Star; the
two boxers, Serenade and Overture
Of Mazelaine, one owned by Mrs.
Kettles, the other by Mrs. Slesinger.
These dogs all made best-in-show
history and are apparently deter
mined to repeat in 1912.
The one innovation at the show,
choosing best local dog In each
group and in show, came a-cropper
and revealed various pitfalls. A
good idea, but it needs much revi-
sion to become really feasible. In
the transporting group, a dog en-
tered for the local class was put
over a dog that had placed in the
regular group, and had defeated the
best-of breed winner. Moreover,
this dog, which was chosen best
local dog in group had been defeated
not only for best of breed in his own
breed, but also for best Of opposite
sex. And not only was he nomi-
mated best local dog in group, but
also best local dog in show. This
is a situation that may recur fire.
quently unless steps are taken to
prevent it. Another foreseeable
complication is one in which local
dog, entered for the classes but not
entered for the local class, may win
best Of its breed. Another dog Of the
same breed, entered in local as well
as regular classes, wins the local
class and is proclaimed best local
dog of its breed. Obviously, this
is not true. but he has the ribbon
to show for it.
The number of professional hand
lers that appeared in the local
classes would seem to indicate that
these are going to miss their mark

Some sealed pouch mail was carried
between stations along the route and
this, Of course, was not Cancelled on
the car. There was usually a mail
slot in the car and letters could be
deposited en- route. All mail carried
except that in the closed pouches
was Cancelled with the railway mail
services cancellation, as shown in
the accompanying illustration. But
hand stamp and machine cancella-
tions have been used. Mail was
collected from boxes along the route.
This service had almost disap-
peared by 1915, but it fingered in
few places. The last big city to use
it was Baltimore, where the final
run was made on November 8, 1929.
Washington adopted the system in
1895 when mailcars were put in
service between the Nary Yard and
Georgetown on December %. The
last run here was made June 80,
1918.

seven large volumes, and includes
photostats of contemporary articles
on the subject, pictures of the cars,
time tables and other related ma
terial as well as the covers them
selves. Mr.. Truax used this collec-
ton as the basis for a talk at a
recent meeting of local stamp club.
The history Of these street railway
mail cars, as expounded by Mr.
Truax, is extremely interesting. The
first car so used ran in st. Louis in
1891. This was an experiment, but
it was so successful that the system
was soon adopted elsewhere. Four
teen cities used the service: New
York, Washington, Brooklyn, Chica-
go, Cincinnati, Baltimore, San Fran
cisco, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Bos-
ton. Pittsburgh, Seattle, st. Louis
and Rochester.
These were strictly streetcar lines:
the interurban railway mail cars are
not included
The service reached its peak about

in bringing out the local interest
and local entry. 1t would SEEM to
me that If this new ruling is to
mean anything, or is to do anything
for the small, local exhibitor, it
will have to be bolstered up by a
new set Of rules. One Of them might
well make all entries from within
a certain radius of the show-and
that radius might be uniform all
over the country - automatically
eligible to compete in the local
classes without payment Of an extra
fee. Another might require that
all dogs competing in the local
classes be handled by TIE exhibitor
or some member of his immediate
family.
Cocker spaniels led the entry at
Baltimore, as they do in the coming
Westminster show. In addition to
the nice wins of this breed pre-
viously mentioned In this column,
there were a number Of others. l..
H. C. Johnson's Nonquitt Neshanic
was first novice dog, black. In Great
Danes. Mrs. Ralph Lindsey's Rickey
o. Rabeth was reserve winners dog
and Claire Crawford's Gerta Vik-
toria was reserve winners bitch.
Anew champion has been crowned
for the District. This is American
Ace. a Boston terrier owned and
bred by Mrs. j. K. Porter, who
claims he is the only champion Of
this breed owned in the city. He
made more than the required IS
points at Roanoke, Greenville,
Wichita, Terre Haute, Devon,
Springfield, Ill; Savannah, Jack
sonville and Clearwater. Charles A.
Linton of Indianapolis was his han
dler.
Premium lists have been received
for the Boston dog show, February
22-23; New Haven dog show. Feb
ruary IA; Detroit dog show, Febru-
airy %, March /.
Plans for the Associated Specially
Clubs combined shows have been
changed. Due to the difficulty Of
finding a suitable location at this
time, the shows probably will not. be
held until fall. In the meantime,
the Washington Bulldog Club plans
to sponsor the classes at the Old
Dominion show in Alexandria. The
Potomac Boxer Club probably will
hold separate speciality show in
place of its annual sanction match.
Other local speciality clubs may
sponsor classes at some Of the other
nearby all-breed shows. But it Is
thought that eventually there will
be combined speciality shows as
first planned.
