News From Dogdom
Notes on a Variety Of Subjects of Interest
in Washington and Vicinity
By X. X. Tnynton.

There Is nothing like having a
good active. bench committee chair
man to assure a succession of good
peppy dog shows. Undoubtedly John
Anderson qualities on all scores for
the National Capital Kennel Club
1t is just a month since their an
nual spring show and already he
has the American Kennel Club ap-
proval for show on october 3 at
the Meadowbrook Saddle Club. With
the constantly increasing influx of
exhibitors from other sections of
the country, this business of two
shows a year is all to the good. And
with gasoline and other rationing
being what it is, Washington area
fanciers are more than delighted to
support as many local shows as the
clubs can manage.
One of our local fanciers who went
through the Russian revolution has
a very realistic attitude toward
going to dog shows. For many
months fanciers all over the coun-
try have been sharing their cars
and expenses in order to 60 to shows.
This exhibitor takes it step farther.
Money, she affirms, is no good to her.
What she wants is gasoline-not
coupons. not cash. Neither of these
will work in her gas tank and unless
her passengers can supply the actual
fluid, no ride.
This business Of making dog
champions is trick one. Up in
Northern New Jersey. Caroline
Horne, daughter Of Herbert Rogers,
of this city, has been raising bull
dogs for some years. She has been
raising good ones that have done
more than their share of winning
She has been selling good pups at
good prices which have been win
ming for other exhibitors. But it was
not until last Saturday, at the De-
Won Kennel Club show, that the
Hornes had the satisfaction of fin
ishing their first champion. Why did
1t take so long? Just the breaks of
the game. Another, with reasonable
luck. and having but one good dog,
might make . champion within

Use Poisonous
Sprays With
Caution

WILMINGTON, Del. - Victory
gardeners who have had little or no
experience in the use of poisonous
sprays were advised today by DR.
w. H. Tisdale, head of the Du Pont
Co.'S pest control laboratory, to OBJ
serve two basic precautions.
Small gardeners may not be able
to obtain poisonous rotenone
and pyrethrum dusts, supplies of
which are almost entirely imported.
DR.. Tisdale pointed out that unless
control is accomplished by toxic
materials, or hand picking, the ma
tlonal insect population will be
multiplied many times and much
labor seed and fertilizer will be lost.
Crops sprayed with poisonous
fuosilicates, such as cryolite; nico-
tine or arsenical compounds, and
with copper and sulfur fungicides,
are not safe for human consump-
ton unless the spray is properly
timed and applied There is no
poison problem with potatoes and
other root crops. where tops are not
used for food. Peas and corn pro-
tected by their own coverings also
require few special precautions.
Washing edible parts thoroughly
before cooking, however. is always
urged as an added safeguard.
The following rules should be fol-
lowed:
l. Store poisonous spray and dust
compounds in safe place away
from children and animals.
2. Do not apply poisonous ma
terials after the appearance on the
plant of fruit or foliage which is to
be eaten. Leafy vegetables must
under no circumstances be sprayed
within 80 days before harvest Lead
arsenate never should be used on
such leafy plants as lettuce, chard,
beet tons etc)

in the containers. The removal of
a half inch or so of the stem is de-
sirable so that the absorption of
water is at its best. There is a
tendency to leave all foliage on the
stem. Where this crowds it is not
desirable. Only a limited amount
of foliage should be under water.
That of asters, calendulas, chrys-
anthemums, dahlias and marigolds
should be entirely removed, since
they foul the water quickly.
Ends OF Stems
Must Be Covered
The depth OF the water in the
container is not important just so
long as the ends of the stems are
covered. In low, broad containers
it may be necessary to add water
frequently to replace that lost
through evaporation and absorption.
The changing of water daily is
widely recommended, although there
have been some statements to the
effect that where it has not become
foul it does not increase the last
ing qualities of the flowers. Most
homemakers, however, will prefer
to change the water.

very short time of entering the
show field. This business of luck is
largely responsible for the rabid
interest all exhibitors have in dog
shows. Showing combines all the
fever of gambling with the added
excitement of scientific creation and
love of good dog flesh.
Jack Baird, president of the Dog
Writers Association, heads a COM
mittee to coordinate and correlate
the findings of three subcommit-
tees recently appointed by the De-
partment of Agriculture on the dog
food problem When this commit
tees work is done, it is hoped that
the dog food situation, at least for
the balance of 1943, will be stabil-
lied.
Entries for the North Westchester
Kennel Club show and the Long
shore Kennel Club show must be in
Foley's hands by tomorrow. His ad-
dress is 2009 Ransted street. Phila-
delphia, Pa. The shows are both
being held on the lawn of the West
chester Country Club at Rye, N. Y,
this year. AS usual, the North West
chester fixture has large number of
speciality af1liates. plus the big Hart
ford Obedience Club speciality. Un-
less the picture changes rapidly,
this will be the biggest outdoor show
for the third, successive year.
If your dog is beginning to show
the effects of Washington heat, do
give him place in the basement
during the day where he can stay
cool. If you cannot do that, and
have back yard, put platform out
there that he can crawl under. The
cool earth in a freshly dug hole is
all the beach most dogs want. Do
not clip your long-haired dogs. Comb
out the fuzzy undercoat and leave
the long hairs as a protection from
sun and insects. Wire-haired dogs
should have the shortest trim of the
year at this time, but they should
not be clipped right down to the
skin. Dogs are just as much subject
to sunbllrn as people and 1t Is Just
asspainful to them.

seems to be possible to make equally
good instruments either way.
The glue used is important II
must be strong enough to hold un-
der rather severe strains, but should
be soluble under certain conditions
so that the instrument may be
taken apart for repairs or adjust
ments. In fixing up an old or DAM
aged violin the first step is to
separate it into it's component parts
Varnish seems to be very impor-
tant. and there is no question that
the famous manufacturers of Italy
knew how to make superior finish
In repairing an old instrument this
must be considered. IT it has a
good varnish Mr.. Schultz tries to
leave it undisturbed. If it has a
poor finish he removes it and re-
finishes with his own special brand
of varnish. He has experimental
for 30 years to find a satisfactory
violin varnish
Mr.. Schultz finds that it requires
all Of his spare time for a month
just to repair an old instrument
and a year to make a new one. He
claims that the relaxation it gives
him after the cares of his office
more than compensates for the
time and money that has gone into
his hobby.
He has in his basement a we'll
equipped shop for his violin work
In addition to the usual machine
and hand tools he has many special
items needed for his hobby. He has
made numerous clamps and forms
for special violin jobs. The shape
of an instrument is most important
for good tone, and every care must
be exercised to get it just right.

The Skyrocket foursome in a two
session event won the playoff
match for the championship of the
Federal Bridge League in its team
of-four series for the season that
has just been concluded. They also
won both halves of the season Sc
ries. The victory carries with it the
award of the Luther Stewart Cup
offered by the Federal Employers
Union.
The second and final round was
played on Tuesday night at the
Wardman Park Hotel. The team
comprised George Kathan, the pres
ident of the league; Robert Thurell,
Capt. Russell j. Baldwin and Capt.
Richmond Skinner and Isaac H.
York, alternate. Mr.. York played
in the first round and Mr.. Thurell
in the second.
In competition with the Skyrock-
cts were the Jay Wees and the
Yankee Clippers teams which also
finished the second half of the
series in the first division. The
Clippers won the largest number
of boards in the final session, but
their record in the first one was
such that they were only able to
finish third in the playof contest
| The record was: First round. Sky
rockets, II boards; second round, Is
boards; total, 80; Jay Wees, first
round, is boards: second round
1872; total, 2912; Yankee Clippers
first round, II boards; second round,
1872 boards; total, 28l2.
The contest was featured by the
play of a board which the experts
declared Was the most remarkable
deal ever recorded in Washington
and one not likely to be duplicated
even in pattern anywhere in many
years. 1t presented opportunity for
making a grand slam in clubs, dia-
monds, hearts or spades against
any defense while a declarer in no.
trump would not have taken single
trick. 1t was played by a Jay Wees
pair against Yankee Clippers pair
Each hand was two-suiter, north
and south holding all 13 of the
hearts and the same number of clubs
while East and West held all the
| spades and all the diamonds. OF
course, East and West won the con-
tract and scored seven-odd.
This was the deal:

sentatives will attend a conference
with State War Manpower director
William j. Fitzgerald in Hartford
today.
John J. Driscoll Of this city re-
quested the meeting so the organ
ization would have opportunity to
voice its sentiments on the priority
method of job placement and also
to present results of a recent sur
vey on employee utilization in plants
of the central Connecticut area, it
was revealed today.
Members of the union recently
criticized a report by the state di-
rector that the manpower shortage
is still critical. They claimed en-
ployes are not being utilized fully
and in reality the shortage of help
was not as serious as indicated by
the VINO. The survey undertaken by
the C. I. o. will be one of the sub
jects expected to be discussed at to-
days conference.
Status of workers who may be
shifted when the priority system
takes effect here is the basis of the
dissension by union officials. They
claim workers may be compelled to
take jobs at lesser pay under the
set-up and that union guarantees
will be placed in the background.
Delegates from various central
Connecticut c. I. O Unions arc ay-
pected to attend today's meeting. No
indication was given today that A.

resented, and it was reported the C..

situation is the main reason for the
