Leaves From the Garden Notebook
Untavorable Heather Deferred Many Early Achc,ifes

The heavy rains and snow of last
week delayed working the soil as
we'll as all transplanting and dig
glng. This was unfortunate, for the
spring showers and warm sun have
started most trees, shrubs and
plants into growth. 1t will not be
long before the moving of the larger
plants 'trees and shrubs should be
so handled as to disturb the roots
as little as possiple-balling and
burlapplng the roots.

Spinach-80 pounds, % quart jars.
Squash-4O pounds, 20 quart jars.
Tomatoes-53 pounds, Is quart
jars.
These figures are, of necessity,
only average. They are, however
based on the assumption that you
will can your vegetables when they
are very young and tender, and the
size of the pods and leaves are on
the small side. Naturally, if you and
the family have eaten most of the
produce of the 100-foot row-you
won't get the full yield for your
canning! But, using this table as
an approximate guide, and figuring
how much canning you will want to
do, you can reach a pretty workable
conclusion as to how much of
what" you wish to plant in your
Victory Garden.

There is dog show in town to-
day. and a very good one of it's
kind. This is the first speciality
show of the Washington Bulldog
Club. 1t is being held at 525 New
Jersey avenue NV. in the Building
Laborers' Hall and is being judged
by DR.. E. j. Vardon of Detroit. The
show opens at one this afternoon,
judging starts promptly at 2 and it
ought to be all done at about 6.
Sixty-six of the best sourmugs in
the East are entered for competi-
ton, including four champions and
four service dogs-that is, four dogs
that are officially or unofhcially
attached to the Army, Navy or
Marines. Jiggs w of Quantico
could not be spared from the post
at this critical time in our Nations
history, so sent his regrets. However,
his commanding officer sent an al
most life size picture of him, so the
visiting firemen can see what a
marine dog should really look like.
The war dog fund is growing by
leaps and bounds, but still not so
fast that one can afford to sit back
thinking the other fellows dogs are
going to carry it all. Shetland
sheepdogs. as usual with this breed,
are in the forefront of this worth
while activity. The American
Shetland Sheepdog Association
voted at its annual meeting to buy
a generalship for the sheltie that
went best of breed at Madison
Square Garden.
This honor fell to Ch. Windrush
OF Pages Hill, owned by Mrs. w. w.
Gallagher. Mrs. HUM, acting sec
retary OF the association, then pro-
posed to recruit a brigade for Cen
eral Windrush among sheltie owners
and breeders. This brigade is
growing very fast. Rscently, Mai.

One Of the best ways to become a

another person in an avocation.
That is what happened to John Auer

Mr.. Auer wanted to find a hobby
which would help a fellow bands
man who found his spare time hang
ing too heavily on him. While the
band was on a train during a con-

how to Whittle "a ball in a cage

ferred from Alexandria to Washing
ton are being played today at the
Wardman Park Hotel. These in
clude two sessions Of the classic
open pair event which was won last
year by LIE Roy Thurtell and Louis
Newman, who will defend their title
to the trophy. There also will be
special consolation game this eve
ming to be participated in by those
who are eliminated in the first
round of the open pair match and
any other players who may desire
to take part in it.
William Cheeks is managing the
tourney and Capt. Russell J. Bald
win is acting as tournament direc-
tor. BY agreement the new con-
tract rules of 1943 are being followed
for the first time in any tournament
in Washington, so far as they are
applicable to the duplicate form of
the game, although they do not be-
come formally effective until April /.
In the cumulative score of the
Capital Chess Club series the fol-
lowing players are above average:

Results in the team of -four game
of the Federal Bridge League last
Tuesday night were: In section l,
the Jay Wees won Is out of "a boards
but the Skyrockets retained their
lead while the Jay Wees remained in
fourth place. Mrs. A. R. Hodgkins
and DR.. Jasny of the Allies were
high pair north and south with SO
points and C. B. Austin and the Jay
Wees were high east and west with
SO points
The Vains, the Wild Deuces and
the Ms were tied in the second
section, each winning 13 out of "a
boards, but singular outcome was
the fact that none of their pairs
was high in either direction. Miss
Lulu A. Ehringer and G. M. Richards,
Mixed Party, we're high north and
south with 97lz points, and Mrs.
Baker and Mrs Holcombe of the
Co-Ops were high east and west.
In the third section the Mullens
made the remarkable record of win
ming 2O12 out of "a boards, which
was better than an 80 per cent game
and is unusual. Their north and
south pair. Mrs. Richard Skinner
and R. E. Mullen, were high north

so prolific, at least at the start, but
Mr.. Auer had background of train
ing coupled with a natural artistic
bent which are ideal for a wood
carver. At one time, previous to join
ing the band, he was a violinmaker,
in business with his father. In fact,
the only tool he uses in making his
carvings is the knife he used for vio-
Inns. The blade of this knife is made
from an old hacksaW blade and the
handle is quite old and of foreign
manufacture.

to carve, and carries in his minds

eye the artists view of the finished
product as he works. Almost all of
his carvings have been Of animals, so
far. Dogs in particular.
Another of Mr.. Auer's interests is
hunting. Through his years in the
band he has kept in practice in wood
work by occasionally carving a gun
stock. In many cases the results of
his efforts there have made the stock
worth more than the gun.
Fortunately Mrs. Auer is also a
great believer in hobbies. Fortunate,
because her husband sits in their liv-
ing room while doing his carving,
and often at the end of a couple of
hours of work he is surrounded by a
pile Of chips. She is a good example
to the wives who complain about
their husbands hobbies and the
mess they make.
