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

dog lovers and dog exhibitors every
where take the matter IN hand Will
the question be settled. Dog owners
must see that every community has
adequate laws and adequate shelters
for stray animals and must them
selves enforce a limited quarantine
in order to eliminate rabies, and
with it the vaccine racket.
Time and again have the antics
of the handlers and their dogs been.
described.
But the performance is incredible
to the average person, who has not
succumbed to the lure of the dog
show. One would think that in
order to prepare dog for showing,
1t would be sufficient to bathe the.
animal, brush his coat, maybe trim
a few stray hairs, and let him 60
at that. 1t would seem that all of
it could be done at home in an
hour or two at most, and that
nothing more need be done to him
after arrival at the show. After
all, the handler might want to get
a little relaxation out of the affair
himself. But that is not the case.
At the usual one-day show, handlers,
their charges and their assistants
arrive at the grounds at daybreak,
If not the night before, and by the
first wan light of dawn, they may
be seen busily chalking, washing,
brushing, cutting toe nails, scrap
ing teeth and shipping assiduously
upon hair here and there. Gen.
orally they are engaged upon their
top dogs, dogs presumably kept in
show condition at all times, dogs
that have probably been shown
within the week and that have been
groomed every day between shows.
AS night falls and the show is
closing the same handlers may still
be seen poised over the same dogs,
still brushing and chalking and
posing. Whether the dog has won
or lost seems to make but little
difference. The sacred and con-
slant routine is performed over and
over.
At an important show like West
minister. trucks and station wagons
and private cars start rolling into
the basement of Madison Square
Garden the morning of the day
before the show. Crate after crate
of dogs is unloaded and each crate
is assigned a few square feet of
space. In those few square feet
the handler and his assistants will
spend practically all the time they
are not actually in the judging ring,
with Sponges and buckets of water,
towels and chalk, and the other
implements of their trade. 1t is in
these narrow aisles that the gossip
OF the fancy is exchanged, dogs
are bought and sold, trades made.
The cognoscenti of the dog game
do not spend much time looking over
the dogs on the benches. There
are only two places at a show that
interest him, first the handlers
quarters and then the judging rings.

One of the most interesting meet
ings ever held by the Dog Writers
Association was high-lighted by the
awarding Of gold medal for out
standing and meritorious work In
the field Of dogs to Mrs. M. Hartley
Dodge. This medal award has been
an annual event Of the Dog Writers
Association, but heretofore has been
reserved only for members of the
organization. Mrs. Dodge, world
famous as a breeder, judge. hu-
manist, and as hostess of the
largest dog show in the world, is
the first person outside of the Or
ganization to be so honored. In
accepting. the award Mrs. Dodge said ::
Il am very grateful to you all and
accept this medal, not as a prize
or = trophy. but as a token of a
pledge for continued interest in
the cause to which we are devoted" !"
The announcement that this year
there would be no Morris and Essex
show has caused much discussion
as to the real reason for the de-
cision. The petty gossip which
has been going the rounds has
doubtlessly been the result of keen
disappointment at the loss Of q
show which is the most perfect
in the world, one which has always
considered the exhibitor first and
profits and work not at all. But
the fact Is that Morris and Essex
was Cancelled this year solely be-
cause Of war conditions and the
location Of Giralda Farms in a dan
ger area, should war come to our
shores. Until the very last minute
plans were being carried out for
an even greater show than here
tofore. New lawns have been put
in, a new best in the show field laic
out and other work started to fur
ther improve this show. Should
war. by some miracle. cease before
the middle of May the show could
still go on, so close to maturity
are all the plans!
Like many-headed monster. the
subject Of rabies and compulsory
rabies incubation, crops up wher-
ever dog people and dog writer's get
together. 1t must be 20 years since
this battle was first joined, and
apparently the end is not even in
sight. In the State of New Jersey
where a new set of dog laws went
into effect the first of the year. a
real start is being made to contro
rabies in the only way it has eve,
been controlled, and that is by the
elimination of stray dogs. Because
the new licensing law has teeth anc
an able enforcement clause, more
dog licenses have been sold in the
State than ever before. The towns
OF Elizabeth and Madison ran out
of license tags. although they had
presumably, prepared sufficient TO,

other sections reported equal runs

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

Roosevelt Highs quintet captured
the team championship of the
Washington Interhigh Chess Asso-
citation after six rounds of tourna-
ment matches, amassing "a points
In possible 80. Only Central's five,
runner-up with a score of 1871
points. defeated the Roosevelt ag-
gregation, 80, which victory came in
the first round. Thereafter Roose-
welt marched irresistibly toward the
pennant goal, scoring against Fair
fax, Va, SO; Western, Al; Tech,
3h-1h; Wilson, SO; Eastern, 4h-h.
At the outset Roosevelt's team
pivoted around Gerald j. Steinberg,
No. boarder in the opening round.
Then the pendulum swung in favor
Of John Rast, who had tied with
Steinberg for the championship of
Roosevelt High Chess Club in cur
rent tourney play. Rast never lost
a game and emerged the individual
champion Of the association for the
winter semester. Ably supporting
these two key players were Perry
Varoutsos, Kurt Berlin, George M.
Hogan, Robert Mautner, Arthur
Gorenstein and Morton Eanet.

Interesting people often gravitate
to Washington. Lobbyists are in
teresting, and Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Carlson are lobbyists.
Mrs Carlson Is an amateur musi-
clan, but certainly not a novice.
She has played the violin since she
was a little girl, and more recently
has been playing the cello.
Really, the most interesting OF
Mrs. CarlSon's musical attainments,
however. Is the making and playing
Of bamboo shepherds pipes. About
two and q half years ago she STUN:
bled upon an article giving instruc-
tions in making and playing these
ancient instruments. Intrigued by
the idea, she secured the necessary
material and started work.
The treble pipe, in the key OF D,
is the one usually made as starter,
and all that is required for its
manufacture Is q sound piece OF
bamboo about q foot long, small
saw, sandpaper, two small files, a
knife and q ruler. All Of these
tools may be obtained at the IS and
TO-" and it is even possible to secure
a suitable piece of bamboo from the
stick often used to roll up a rug.
A cork from the corner drugstore,
for a stopper and mouthpiece, is the
final necessity. All of which makes
this one Of the most inexpensive
handicraft hobbies available. and
the finished article may be as good
as a pipe costing hundred dollars.
Mrs. Carlson's first pipe was a
success and she still has and plays
it, although she has made 20 or 80
more since then land given most
of them away. She has also pur-
chased a recorder in the interim.
There is much recorder music avail
able, and since the recorder and
the pipes are played IN the same
way, the music is adaptable for
either. The pipes are particularly
suited for playing folk music. which
is natural, since the shepherds pipe
is believed to be the first musical
instrument ever made by man.
Last spring Mrs. Carlson became
a member of the Pipers' Guild, an
organization of music lovers who
make and play the shepherds pipes.
(See meeting notice for the guild
belowD
Mrs. Carlson's cello was pur-
chased second hand at q rummage
sale for 81. After being repaired
by Mr.. Carlson 1t proved to be quite
q good instrument. Just more proof
that hobbies need not be expensive.
Which brings us to Mr.. Carlson's
hobbies. He has collection OF
books which occupies considerable
shelf space in their hall. Many OF
these books were found in the
numerous secondhand bookstores
here. He has found washington to
be a veritable gold mine for book

worked for the Community Center

handbooks give very good instruc-
tions in the subject.
