With approximately ITS teams al
ready entered and q deluge of late
entries expected in tomorrow's mail,
the number competing in the 38th
Annual Washington City Duckpin
Association Tournament that opens
April 20 at Colonial Village promises
to exceed greatly last years 256
total.
While many old standby leagues
again have entered in body, Harry
Dixon, association secretary, points
out that teams entering from mixed
leagues for the first time mainly are
responsible for the substantial in
crease.
Among the mixed loops to be
represented are Coast and Geodetic
Survey, AGO, Hi-Skor, Brookland
Sunday Night, Bureau of Customs,
Silver Spring and Government

come from King Pin and Mount
Rainier mixed doubles loops.
One of The teams from the Con-
necticut Avenue $500 Business

Lounge, of which Lorraine GULL is
q member.
Wear Schoonover, president, has
entered all 16 teams of Agriculture
Interbureau League. Few times in
IS years has this loop missed bowl
ing in a body Once it had rs
quints competing.

ing the door scold him sharply and
shut him up in some room. Let
him feel he has committed a fault
and that he is in disgrace. Usually
a few such experiences will teach
hinl-especially if he is young-that
it not only is wrong to fly barking
to the door at sound of the bell, but
that it entails scolding and impris-
onnent.
I have heard Of several other
methods Of curing dogs of this habit,
some OF them involving more
drastic penalty, but I think the way
just described Is the simplest and
most successful.

a dry shampoo by sprinkling corn

Into the lounge Of a New York
MOTEL strolled q woman wearing a
white hat with some kind OF red
flower or pompom on its side. Her
dress was white. too, with scarlet
designs on it. I don't know much
about women's clothes, and this is
the best description of the outfit I
can manage. Besides her trotted a
miniature schnauzer, decked out in
a white silk blanket, decorated with
bars and arabesques <of scarlet, as
we'll as a white leather collar with
a red pompom on 1t. In brief, the
woman had dressed the dog to
match her own outfit.
Perhaps this queer practice is an
old story to you who read this, but
it was brand-new to me. It seems
to me the silliest canine fad I have
come across to date.
One of the many general fallacies
regarding dogs Is that II they have
a cold nose they are healthy; II a
hot, dry one they are sick. The
temperature Of your pets nose Is
not a reliable index of his general
health. II you are in doubt as to
your pets condition take him to q
veterinarian.
A dog is having stupid time,
cooped up indoors with nothing to
amuse or excite him. The doorbell
rings. He gallops to the door, bark
ing at the top Of his lungs and pre-
pairing a noisy and sometimes
frightening welcome for the person
on the other side. Often your dog
does this with an idea Of defending
