Hobbies and Lobbyists
News of Group Meetings and Local
Exhibitions
BY Edmond Henderer,

A hobby which has a large local
following but which has not re-
ceived much publicity of late is
that of the home aquarist. The Ma
tional Aquarium Society is the
Washington organization for these
fish fanciers. Members of the MAS
are always ready to point out the
multiplex advantages of their avo-
cation.
There are two main divisions of
| amateur aquarists. the older sec
ton is that which keeps goldfish.
1t is now somewhat overshadoWed
by the newer group which enthuses
over the ''tropical' or exotic" fish.
| Exotic is probably the better
term to use, as many of these i'm
ported fish Gn fact, most of them)
do not do we'll at high temperatures.
They have been trained by nature
to expect moderation and the great
majority of them must be kept be-
tween 68 and IS degrees Fahren-
heit), doing best in the lower 7Os.
Goldfish like it better when they
are in water below 10 degrees.
The exotics have the one great
| advantage that they do not need as
much room as goldfish. OF course.
people do keep goldfish in tiny
bowls, and then wonder why they
die so soon. The old rule of the gold
fish fanciers is lone gallon of water
per inch of fish, not including tail,
and increase space above this mini
mum as the fish grows" This is
very much rule of thumb"
method, but it will give a rough idea
of the space requirements.
Exotics should have ample space
| too, but the fish do not grow as
large as goldfish will and quite a
few fully matured ones may be kept
in 10-gallon tank in perfect
health.
Most exotics breed several times a
year. They may be bred with a
minimum Of equipment and space
This is one of the most interesting
phases of the aquarium hobby and
many of the MAS members 20 in
for it quite extensively.
The president of the society, j
Walter Fritz, has built himself a
"flshhouse" in order to have ample
room for extensive breeding activi-
ties. Mr.. Fritz would be glad tc
show his fish and their new quar-
tiers to any one interested. He lives
at 8 Central avenue, Hyattsville
Md, phone Warfield 572l. His fish
house is about the size of a large
garage and is located in back of his
own house.
To show that all this plant is not
needed for successful propagation OF
exotics, you might visit the apart
ment of Walter w. Hicks, 5000 -Four.

Mrs. Dorothy Schrepel sitting west
elected to play the hand for six-dia-
monds after her partner had bid six
clubs and had previously indicated
the ace of spades.
North opened the ace of hearts
which was trumped in dummy with
the singleton eight. She then laid
down the ace of spades and followed
with a small spade which she
trumped. The lead of the ace and
King OF diamonds failed to drop the
queen and North won the third
lead of that suit. He next made a
very smart play which would have
deceived many players and caused
the defeat of the contract.
Holding the queen and two clubs
he laid down small club. Mrs.
Schrepel thought moment and de-
clded to let the card ride up to her
jack. 1t won the play and disclosed
the location of the queen. She next
ran the remaining diamonds dis
carding losing spades from the
dummy and finally the clubs upon
which she deposited the good queen
and two losing hearts from her own
hand, making small slam.
When the hand was played by
East at six clubs the jack of hearts
was led covered by the king, North
played the ace and East trumped.
The same procedure was followed
OF leading the ace of spades and
then small spade and trumping
with the two. The ace and king of
diamonds and the queen of hearts
afforded discards for one diamond
and two spades. The jack of clubs
was flnessed and declarer then en-
tered her own hand by trumping
third diamond and thereafter drew
trumps and made six in clubs.
Washington bridge players have
been invited to attend the ninth
annual Northeastern Pennsylvania
contract championship games which
are to be held at the Jermyn Hotel
in Scranton on June 4, 5 and 6, un-
der the auspices of the Anthracite
Bridge Association. The, schedule
calls 1Or 1Our major events and
special trophy game on Saturday
for those who fail to qualify for
the final session of the open-pair
match.
There will be a women's pair game
on Friday afternoon in one session
for the Russell Morgan Trophy, a
mixed pair game in one session on
Friday night for the Anthracite
Bridge Association Trophy, an open
pair event in two sessions on Sat-
urday and the team of four game in
two sessions on Sunday for the
Scrantonian Trophy.
Heretofore local players have at

Leaves From the Garden Notebook
Insect Pests Seem to Be More Numerous Than Usual

After the week of showers and
cool days the soil is again moist
and in splendid condition to be
worked. Removal of the current
crop of weeds will in most cases
be all of the cultivation needed.
Seed sowing may we'll get under
way for the second Or third success
sive paintings of those vegetable
crops which need frequent paintings
to provide tender, luscious vegetables
for the table.
Insect pests seem to be more
numerous than usual. This year the
flea beetle has been both widespread
and destructive. Many gardeners
report injury from the maggots-
pests of beans, radishes and cab
bage. The flea beetle is usually
controlled by busting with hydrated
lime, although rotenone and the
arSenates may be used tdo not use
lead arsenate on beans with fairly
good results. The maggots, while
troublesome early in the season. are
about to disappear, SO replanting
is recommended. They were bad
only on land we'll supplied with
humus or fresh manure.
The pruning of early spring flow
ering shrubs should not be delayed
any longer than necessary This
annual pruning following the last
of the blossoms is necessary to
maintain health, grace and vigor.
Reports indicate that the control
of the gladiolus thrips with tarter
emetic is out for the duration.
Paris green, while copper COM
pound, will probably by available
for use in controlling this annoying
little pest, Those gardeners who
practice winter control of the thrips
will not suffer for lack of the tartar
emetic.
Now that the tulips and hyacinths
are through Towering, it is we'll
to protect their foliage so that the
bulbs will store up energy for next
springs flowers. AS soon as the
foliage has matured they should be
dug, cleaned and stored.
AS soon as the bulbs have been
lifted the soil should be spaded,
enriched with compost and manure,
and the ANIMALS (zinnias, marigolds,
annual phlox, etc. planted. They
will continue the supply of flowers
for cutting and decoration through
out the rest of the summer and fall.

their roses from black spot. This
destructive disease If left uncon-
trolled will greatly weaken their
plants and result in fewer and
poorer flowers. Dusting is easier
and quicker. Sulphur is available
and there are no restrictions upon
its use, but it will burn the foliage
if used during the hottest days of
summer. Whether sulphur or
bordeaux are used, either as a spray
or as a dust, the important thing is
to get them on the rose foliage before
the black SPOT spores arrive.

News From Dogdom
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
in Washington and Vicinity
Bv X. K. Tavuf0u.

w. w. Gallagher, president of the
American Shetland Sheepdog Asso-
citation, brings us pleasant thought
in these increasingly difficult days
for dog owners. Nearly $500 years
ago, he tells us, a Greek whose name
is lost raised over his comrade S
grave this beautiful inscription ::
Thou who passeth on the path, If
haply thou dost mark this monu-
ment, laugh not, pray thee, though
it is dogs grave; tears fell for me,
and the dust was heaped above me
by a masters hands, who likewise
engraved these words upon my
tomb" Surely, there have been meat
shortages and rabies Scares many,
many times since then, but the love
of a man for his dog and Of a dog
for man has survived these many
years, and will continue.
Food production order No. was
designed to conserve animal proteins
for human consumption. In TINS ell
fort it curtailed the percentage of
animal proteins which may be in
cluded in dog foods. Unfortunately
it did not definitely exclude from its
list of animal proteins horse meat,
which to date has not been on the
critical list for human consumption.
While pure horse meat still may be
bought for dog food, manufactured
foods using a large percentage of
horse meat, especially frozen foods,
are no longer available. This seems
an unnecessary curtailment of a
product which does not use scarce
materials and does serve a very use
full purpose. Fresh frozen dog food
seemed we'll on the way to replace
the non-existent canned foods. They

well suited to canine digestions.
Their disappearance from the mar
ket undoubtedly will cause the di-
version of much meat from the hu-
man to the dog diet.
War and gasoline shortages not
withstanding. more than one show
giving club has made its debut this
year. The latest to join the ranks
is the Central Ohio Dog Fanciers
Club, Inc, which will hold its first
show on June 20 in Columbus, Ohio.
It's premium list is an interesting
one from many standpoints. There
is class prize money in every class
having two or more dogs entered,
and for every best of breed in breeds
having an entry of three or more.
Exhibitors who show 10 or more
dogs get special entry rate. Local
classes are limited to amateur han
dlerS only. William C. Gugerli. 5O7
South Jackson street, Auburn, Ind,
is show superintendent and entries
must be in his hands by June 13.
The first classes for war dogs will
be judged at the North Westchester
Kennel Club show on June IL at
Rye, N. Y. Entrants will be judged
by military officers on their fitness
for military duty, but showing in
these classes does not obligate the
exhibitor to enlist his dog in the
K-9 Corps. The Longshore Kennel
Club, which will hold its show the
following day on the same grounds,
will also hold these classes. These
shows are likely to be the largest
outdoor shows of the year. The
North Westchester fixture, which
was formerly held at Katonah, N. Y,
was the largest last year and the
second largest the year before, run

Woodruff Flags
Administration S
Broken Pledges
BY DAVID CAMELON
Detroit Times Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The
administration has openly and
flagrantly" broken specific prom
ises to Congress. Rep. Roy o.
Woodruff of Michigan charged to-
day in an address in the House
condemning what he termed mis-
management of the civilian war
effort.
Woodruff pointed out that
"again a committee controlled by
the party of the administration has
concluded that faulty management
of the armament procurement
program. the manpower program
and a general condition of confu-
sion in the bureaucracy at Wash
ington" is hindering an efficient
war effort. He declared:
This report Is not made by
'obstructionists,' 'lsolationists' or
partisan Republicans
ut In made by special
committee of the House OF
Representatives, headed by a
congressman noted for his az
tuteness and fairness, and who,
last November, was highly
praised by the Democratic floor
leader of the House as n man
who had always supported the
administration as far as pos
sIble.
rUnder these circumstances,
the report OF the Tolan commit
tee IL very disquieting and mer-
It's the grave consideration OF the
American people"
The very fact that the Tolan
committee has uncovered the prac-
tees and derelictions which II
describes in its report is the guar
antee, Woodruff said. that the
Congress will see TO it that these
weaknesses in-the- waF effeFt are
remedled.
