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

The Old Dominion Kennel Club
held It's annual election of officers
ut the January meeting. Howard
Grimm was elected president and
delegate to the American Kennel
Club. M. Gardiner and Lucille
Scaggs are the new vice presidents.
Mrs. Mary K. Powell and James A.
Allen are the two secretaries, and
Arthur Scharfeld is treasurer. Leo
Murphy is chairman of the Bench
Committee and reports that plans
for the spring show are well under
way, with acceptances received from
most Of the judges invited. The
Alexandria Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has been designated
as beneficiary of a percentage of
the show receipts.
This step is in line with that
taken by most of the Nations ken
mel clubs, which are definitely de-
tense conscious and are adding
large amounts to the various funds
being raised for defense and
amelioration of war suffering. There
is danger that in the rush to mount
the bandwagon of national defense,
some peacetime agencies which de-
vote their time to relief of suffer-
ing will suffer. For many years the
Hospital for Crippled Children in
Baltimore received substantial
sum from the Baltimore show. This
year it will not. The Alexandria
Hospital and Nursery have received
much needed help from the Old
Dominion Club in the past. This
year that help will go to the Red
Cross. Crippled and homeless chill
dren still exist and still need help.
Arthur Scharfeld has been called
to Cleveland by the sudden death
of his father and the extreme ILL
ness Of his mother. He was elected
treasurer Of the Old Dominion Club
in his absence.
From all over the country and
from fanciers of many different
breeds come plans and claims for
their dogs in war work. Obedience
training clubs are opening their
ranks to receive mongrels, realizing
that q well-trained dog Of any breed
or of no breed is a potential asset
in the war and during periods Of
stress, but that an unframed dog
is . decided liability.

Chess Club, having learned the ele-
ments Of chess by himself at home
at the early age Of 8. Prior to at
tending Mcfarland School he went
to the Hamilton School at st. Louis,
Mo. Locally he had previously
graduated from both Cook and
Barnard Elementary Schools. Re-
turning to Washington from st.
Louis he entered Macfarland Junior
High and his chess career began.
His favorite opening is the Ruy
Lopez, his favorite master MINI
zowitsch, and the first three chess
books in his library are Nimzo-
witsch's Chess Praxis," Reti's
Masters of the Chessboard" and
Znosko- -Borovsky's The Middle
Game in Chess"
He prefers over-the board chess
to any other and relishes either the
open or the close game. The fol-
lowing game is an example of open
game play:

bull terriers, Airedales, collies,
Doberman pinschers, boxers and
many other breeds advance the
claims Of their dogs for valor in
war work, based on their records
in wars of other years. Mrs. Fran
els Crane, foremost breeder Of Great
Pyrenees, injects a modern angle
in this war-dog business by point
ing out that her white giant dog
is particularly adapted to serve as
q guide and companion during
blackout periods by virtue of his
size, color and temperament. Sew
eral dogs Of this breed, and there
are not very many in this country,
are already serving as guards at
Army camps, one in the Baltimore
area.
From World War the Ger
man shepherd emerged as the pop
ular breed. What breeds or breed
will gain new popularity from this
war cannot be foretold, but there Is
no doubt that the course Of canine
affairs will be materially altered by
current events.
If the published total Of $500 dogs
has not yet been entered for the
Westminster Kennel Club show on
February IL and IL, you may still
get your dog in this most glamor-
GUS OF indoor shows. Tomorrow at
noon Is the absolute deadline. Your
entry, containing information about
the dogs. breed, registered name,
number, parentage, date and place
of birth and breeder, as well as
class you wish him shown in, should
be wired or mailed direct to the
clubs headquarters, 500 Madison
avenue, New York City.
This is the 66th annual venture
Of this club. This year, as last, it
will be a two-day show, with all
breeds being judged in the first day
and a half, and groups and spe-
cial features occupying the after
noon and night of the second day.
All dogs except puppies between 6
and II months must have won a
first, second or third place in q
licensed show held before January
IL, 1912.

Governor o'Conor Says

This is a great time for pro
phets and soothsayers. The
front porch and corner stcrt
strategists are in their heyday.
They know that eve will win OF
lose the war this year.. They
know just what is wrong in the
conduct Of the war.
BUT-what they don't seem
to know is that every hour
wasted in idle talk is a valuable
contribution to our enemies.
The greatness Of our country
is due to DEEDS-not words;
and our future will be determ-
ined by the DEEDS Of every
man. woman and child in the
prosecution of the war.

Prosecutes Case

A sentence of life Imprisonment
was imposed on 17-year-old James
A. Anderson of Glen Echo, Tues
day at Hagerstown, after he was
found guilty of rape by jury
which earlier heard him declare
defiantly that ne had "desire
to kill someone" every time he be-
came intoxicated.
The Washington County Circuit
jury deliberated SO minutes on
charges that the youth raped a
36-year-old Social Security work.
er at her Glen Echo home last
February 81 during a wild spree
which also involved a gun battle
with police.
Before sentencing, Judge D.
Lindley Sloan declared that it was
can extremely strange case.'
"Here is a boy not a man who
perhaps will never be a man. He
has resented authority of any kind
since the time he was small boy"
Asserting that the boy apparent
ly had a ''too-indulgent" mother,
the jurist added, "He had lifelong
grudge against policemen and is
genuinely bad boy"
"This case," he continued, "is a
mockery on the liquor business in
that a boy II years old became a
drunkard."
Before the case went to the jury,
Anderson startled the courtroom
by assailing all policemen, saying:
II just don't like them.'
A few tears were the onl caign
of emotion shown by And huson
when the jury returned the vd ct.
Anderson testified that he was
intoxicated on the night of Febru-
airy 81, and admitted entering the
home of the woman.
He was defended by Attorneys
John Reeves and w. Walter Daw-
son and Stewart Bershong from
Hagerstown.
States Attorney Ben G. Wilkin-
son and Alfred d. Noyes assisted
by Washington County states at

cuted the case.

Donald M. Nelson, chairman of

the war; if you sell it, the sales
value goes back to you in Defense

attention to the fact that most fire

strict under rigid regulations, the
keeping of gasoline, benzine or

All persons are warned that not
only do they endanger their prop
erty but their lives by failing to
observe precautions in handling
gasoline and other inflammable and
explosive products.

| Might Be Wrong--BUT
By P. G. STROMBERG

center of Cologne is only a
herald of what is to come with
increasing force in the months
ahead.
What a tremendous change
has come about! We are in
formed that the great raids on
Germany thus far have been
accomplished without American
support. What can we expect
(rather what can Hitler expect)
when our force of bombers joins
with the R. A. F.? It seems
to be generally accepted that
bombing of cities will not win
this war. Perhaps not-but the
German people are united best
when all is well. In World War
/ it was first the individual sold
Ter who submitted with Exam
erad", then the people, then the
government. The Germans will
apparently make sacrifices while
winning but will
NaZis quickly accept de-
Rehearsing feat when the go
''Kamerad" ing gets rough for
them and favorable
to the enemy. From that stand
point lies the greatest hope of
early allied victory. 1t must
come from ''inside" Germany.
Nightly bombings will hasten
that "inside" surrender. If the
end comes from that source Ger
many will be knocked out of the
war before many of us have
chance to digest the swiftness of
events.
There will be more reverses
for our forces. There will be
much more sacrifice of life but
every day makes the strength of
Uncle Sam more effective and
brings us nearer the time when
Japan can be fully dealt with
after which our problem will be
to repair the world and re-
habilitate it's people.
