The casual spectator would guess
that either Army and Navy people

else that dog people have enlisted

sides of fanciers from all over the
country who are now in uniform.
Many of the foremost dog judges
are in service including all round

hours on Sunday. .-.
The program was fixed at a meet
ing of the Executive Committee of
the league last Tuesday evening.
Because of the necessity of making
some curtailments it was origi-
nally thought that the mems pair
match would have to be eliminated.
Instead, the committee decided to
omit the usual team of four game
which is ordinarily held on Sunday,
On that day the open pair cham
pionship and the metropolitan
games will run concurrently. This
plan has enabled the playing of
the mems pair game which it was
at first believed would have to be

same time as the women's pair
championship on Friday evening.

There are many lobbyists today

keep scrap books Of pictures re-

these.
Les Colvin collects stereographs

optical instrument with two lenses,
through which photographs taken in

appear to have solidity and relief.
There is probably not an adult

had one feature which even the

Anyway, Mr.. Colvin was one of
those who found stereoscopes fas-
cinating. He enjoyed them so much

The postal system often is cited
as an example of socialism in prac-
tice. But the fact is that private
ownership and operation of the mails
probably would result in a reduction
OF rates and an improvement in
service, especially if competition
were provided and monopoly pre-
vented by law.

A photo finish featured the open
ing event of the National Press
Clubs series of bridge games begun
on Monday night in the clubs audi
torium. Twenty-six boards were
played and at the conclusion of the
session 'the three leaders were barely
one and one-half points apart. They
were Mrs. M. j. Pierce and Mrs. G. r.
Shields, 1855 points, first; Ned
Brooks and j. B. Latta, los points,
second, and Frank B. Lord and Mrs.

In any part of the sweepstakes were

was placed in another envelope,
from which the director took one
and the holders of the similar num-
ber were given the luck prize" It
went to Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. lie May
of Alexandria.
A rule was adopted by which any
club member or his wife may invite
to the games as guest any player
who is associated with any other
bridge organization, league or dupli-
cate club which accords like privi-
lege to members Of the Press Club.
1t was also voted that the bridge
group Of the club shall take action
to become an affiliate Of the Ameri-
can Contrast Bridge League. This
will enable its winners to get rating
points, which are changeable into
convertible points, that are in turn
convertible into master points when
a sufficient number has been won.
The club will play 13 games on
alternate Monday evenings in the
season series. Six of them will occur
before the holidays and seven after
the beginning of the new year. 1t
was agreed that playing shall start
at 7 o'clock instead of 8:15 as here

Kent B. Stiles, stamp writer for
the New York Times, says: From
experience in the first World War,
the censorship authorities are aware
that it is possible for enemy agents
in the United States to use stamps,
by arranging them in certain ways
on approval sheets, and through
other devices, to convey information
to governments abroad"
In less hectic seasons, such state
ment would be regarded as roman
tic: even now, 1t is open to challenge.
The servants of the Axis, there is
ample reason to believe, have meth
DDS of communication much more
efficient than those which Mr. Stiles
suggests-concealed radio broadcast
ing facilities, for example.
