This is the dav of the annual
sanction match of the National Cap
ltal Kennel Club. Dogs of all ages
over months and of all breeds are
eligible to compete for the plates
and sterling trophies being offered.
The match is being held at 525 New
Jersey avenue NV. Entries will be
taken from 1:30 pm. to $3.50 and
judging will start promptly at 4.
If you have not yet decided what
breed of dog you are giving for

to look them over and also to con-
tact the breeders of many varieties.
The National Capital Kennel Club
brought a very satisfactory fiscal

year before. The only newcomer to
the group is Harvey Brown, who was
elected to the second vice presi-
dency. The officers are DR.. Charles

The Washington 8-mm. Movie
Club had very good attendance
at its December meeting in spite Of
the fact that it fell on the coolest
night of the season.
Election of officers was held ac-
cording to schedule and resulted
as follows: President, H. D. Bate
man; vice president, T. B. Bliss;
secretary treasurer, Maurice Hejnal;
board members, Free A. Au and
Joseph H. Gawler.
The anticipated exchange film
from Seattle failed to arrive, but
Mr.. Gawler showed a film he had
recently taken at the launching
of victory ship" at Baltimore
shipyard, and Paul Badger showed
a vacation trip film to round out
the amateur film entertainment. A
commercially made picture also was
shown.
The high spot of the evening was
talk by o. S. Granducci on taking
Christmas pictures. He went over
the various types of Christmas
scenes usually filmed by the home
movie maker and told how to add
interest and variety to them. He
suggested certain additional shots
which would give a complete pic
ture of Christmas in the home.
Lighting is an important item in
taking indoor movies, and Mr.. Gran
ducci went into it in considera BILE
detail. Any one following his sug-
gestions should certainly produce
some good pictures, and it is hoped
that after Christmas some of the
results will be seen at coming meet
ings.
Mr.. Grawducci and Mr.. Gawler
were the organizers of the 8-mm
Movie Club, and Mr.. Granducci is
considered the foremost authority
on the subject in this club He
has been taking amateur movies
since the small millometer cameras
first appeared on the market.
The new president, Mr. Bateman,
plans to have these helps to the
novice as a regular feature of the
meetings during the coming year.
Visitors are always welcome at the
meetings.

a year in which many kennel clubs
were afraid to venture even their
established annual shows. and in
which most other clubs feared to
expand at all, the National Capital
Club held two licensed dog shows
for the first time and its usual
sanction matches. And these were
financially successful. Although the
primary purpose of kennel club
/ is certainly not money making. it
is very encouraging to lovers of the
sport to find that public interest
continues great enough to make a
dog show a profitable venture in
stead Of a precarious one.

The 13-year girl who wrote in
asking about Job in a kennel for
next summer really started some
thing. The latest letter on the sub
ject is from 15-year- old girl in
New York City, who deplores the
lack Of kennels in her native town
and asks for assistance in getting a
kennel job next summer.
For her information it should be
stated that Long Island probably
has more kennels per mile than any
other place of similar size in the
world. There should be no diff
Guilty getting kennel job there.
1t also emphasizes the opportuni-
ties inherent in work with dogs.
England has several schools for
kennel maids, each of which gen.
orally has waiting list of appH-
cants. The graduates of these
schools always have Jobs waiting for
them upon graduation. There is no
doubt that some persons with vision
and ability could establish SINH
lar school in this country with bene-
fit to the dog fancier and profit to
himself.
In line with the tendency to make
each trip count much more than It
used to, there will be three dog

former years. All the shows. Devon,
Huntingdon Valley and Bucks
County, will be held on the Devon
Horse Show grounds. one of the
most beautiful outdoor dog show
sites in the country. The same
benching will be used for all three

fected. Yet there will be three op-
portunities to gain championship
points and three opportunities to
have qualified judges 60 over the

Club. He was good bridge player
then. but is better contract player
now.
One day. George blew into the
club, where old-fashioned bridge
was the game, and asked the dealer
if he could not name a trump
"bridged" to his partner. He issued
a ukaSe to the effect that that form
of the game was passe and he would
play it no longer. He said the club
must play auction, which was then
the new form of the game. From
that time on, auction was played
until it was superseded some years
later by contract.
Mr.. Goren's volume Is a serious
publication we'll worth the careful
study of every one who seeks to play
better bridge, but Mr.. kaufman en-
livenS it in his foreword with bits Of
humor for which he is famous. Com
menting upon the fact, which others
have also noted, that the bridge
writers almost always present deals
showing South the declarer with a
terrific hand, Mr.. kaufman SAYS the
only reason he can see for this is
that there is something slyly polit-
ical in it. The writer's "are banded
together to give South those hands
because cotton is not selling very
we'll, or they had to give up their
slaves, or something
Speaking of systems, like the
Blackwood, designed for showing
aces and kings, Mr.. kaufman ad-
vanceS a convention of his own. like
the others except that it is de-
signed to show deuces and treys,
instead. Since I never get aces and
kings" he says, Il see no reason why
l should be deprived of the fun OF
using the system
Take. for example, this hand:
4 9 % Z 3
y K32
O 873
4 80
Let us see how it works. North
opens with club and South re-
sponds with no-trump. North now
blds two no-trump, which in my
opinion calls for the showing Of
| deuces and treys. So South bids
three diamonds, showing two deuces.
North now bids three no-trump,
which is an invitation bid asking
for treys. South having all four
treys bids four no-trump, and the
contract is doubled and set HOO.

! this result can be obtained"
