uninterrupted postal service, is a
large consumer of equipment, sup

SO typical Of the proud. new dog

Distemper is unusually rampass
at this time. One wen-known

that there have been more cases

Another veterinarian diagnoses

canine encephalitis, disease which
has made canine journal headlines
in recent months as an impersona-
tor Of distemper. He admits, how
ever, that the dogs die just as dead

important thing in effecting re-
covery is nursing. Medication OF
the. right sort is helpful, but good
nursing is indispensable. Elimina-
ton has to be regular and normal.
If there is any abnormality, 1t IS
best to put the dog entirely on
diet of raw, lean beef or stew made
according to directions previously
published in this column. II the
dog entirely loses all desire for
food, he may be pulled over the
hump by feeding, spoonful at a

Probably most hunters are con-
tent with q couple Of guns, but
such is not the case with Benjamin
c. Shaw. 813 Philadelphia avenue,
Silver Spring, Md. OF course. Mr..
Shaw Is not an ordinary hunter for
his interest in his guns is possibly
even greater than his interest IN
shooting game.
Mr.. Shaw comes by such interest
naturally. He was brought up on a
Montgomery County farm where
his father kept a prize pack OF
fox-hounds, and he had his first
rifle, a % caliber, when only about
6 years old. Like all boys he first
turned his attention to shooting,
but later became interested In the
gun itself.
When he was II Mr.. Shaw made
his first gun stock. Later he be-
came more interested IN boats and
the guns faded into the background
for a time. During this period he
built five boats ranging up to a a.
foot cruiser. His hobbies ranged
on through scale model planes and
coin collecting and finally back to
guns.
Five or six years ago he really
began to collect his present assort-
ment OF firearms. He now has an
even dozen modern ones covering
those needed for nearly every type
OF North American game. He does
not care so much for old guns and
only a couple Of them. He likes
to work on the guns, and while at
present he Is not equipped to do
metal work and must confine him.
self to making stocks, he plans some
day to have q shop where he can
alter any part to his own needs.
If he has a favorite gun among
his assortment 1t probably Is a o.

ammunition available for this rifle.
Those using 1t must load their own
shells. The real gun bugs think
that is the only thing to do any way.
and It is all part OF the fun.
Mr.. Shaw's mother. Mrs. w. H.
McCeney, jr., has collection which,
In numbers at least. far exceeds
her sons. She has over 200 pitchers,
accumulated in the last two or three
years. Housed mostly in two cabinets
in her dining room, they make quite
an impressive showing.

Roosevelt's varsity in tip-top shape

the strong Wilson quintet, SO.
Capt. Norman Horwitz Of Wilson

at Pearl Harbor, for the Roosevelt
aggregation caught him by surprise
ir displaying unusual playing
strength and ferociously pushing the
attack beyond his Pollyanna ex-
pectations.
Opposing Horwitz was John Rast
who bids to be the next champion
Of the interhigh association. At

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

Wherever dog fanciers and dog
lovers get together, the topic Of the
times Is the effect the war will have
on dog breeding and dog showing.
It is agreed that in pure-bred dogs
only the best specimens, and that
means best temperamentally as we'll
as physically, must be retained for
breeding. The United States Is now
the home Of the best specimens Of all
breeds in the world. Dog fanciers in
this country have q duty to pre-
serve these strains and improve
them If possible.
1t is conceded that dog breeding
may have to be curtailed somewhat,
although so far there has been no
slackening of In the interest OF
pure bred dogs. If curtailment must
come. then it should come from the
lower end. The mice pets" and
pretty dogs" should be allowed to
fill out their days and their very val
liable missions as nice pets and pref
ty dogs. Pedigree or no pedigree,
they ought not to be bred. The
demand for others OF their kind can
always be more than well filled from
Ntters begotten by real breeding
stock, for it Is the sad truth that
even in the mating Of outstanding
champions large portion OF the get
will be in the mice pet" class.
Dog shows will probably continue
to be one Of the most popular forms
OF relaxation in the months to come.
So far, the Foley organization an
nounces that only four kennel clubs
have Cancelled their show dates in
1912. and these four because use Of
the armories where their shows were
previously held has been denied to
them. Three of the four plan on
holding an outdoor show later in
the year. Large dog shows will
probably be not quite 50 large in
1912: but the smaller shows, en-
couraged by new American Kennel
Club rulings, will probably have
greater interest for local exhibitors
and consequently draw larger local
entries.
The first nearby show Of the year
Is scheduled for Baltimore on jan
uary 81 and February /. For the
first time, this fixture will take
place on a Saturday and Sunday in
stead of the usual Friday and Sat-
urday, and to add to its convent
ence exhibitors and their dogs which
have been removed from the build
ing need not be on hand until Sum-
day afternoon at I, and puppies
judged on the second day Of the
show do not have to appear until
/ o'clock on Sunday. This makes 1t
pleasanter for exhibitors from this
area who drive home between the
two days and have heretofore had
time as well as weather to fight.
Perhaps. sometime in the future.
members Of the Maryland Kennel
Club will see the light and hold a
