Life in the Country-A Fence of Rose Plants

is little or no upkeep, and for
horses they should be ideal. since
even a stampeding animal would
be less likely to get hurt by rum
ming into a hedge than any other
type of fence. Well see how our
filly takes to the fence we are
planting.

One of our goslings Matched out
of the wrong end of the egg the
other day, and despite a rather
desperate struggle to get into this
world seems to be doing pretty
we'll.
Normally a Matching chick or
gosling will pip around the large
end of the egg. but this one got
turned around in some way-per-
haps the embryo grew backwards
and came out the other end. I
wonder how often this occurs. I
will be interested to watch the
development of this particular
gosling.

Russell Chauvenet, University
of Maryland, will give a stimuli
taneous exhibition at the Wash
ington Chess Divan. 2445 Fiji
teenth street NV, Wednesday at
8 pm. The public is invited to
attend and participate. e..
In the Federal Club champion
ship tourney, Edmund Nash dem
onstrated his usual proficiency at
end-game play by salvaging his
adjourned game with Ernest
Boschan, in which the latter had
a great advantage. The draw
gave Nash score of 81. and
brought him into the bracket for
second place along with Frank
Pozarek and George S. Thomas,
half a point behind the leader,
Harold Burdge. No new games
were started last week, in order
to leave room for the monthly
rapid transit tourney.
In this event on March l, Nor
man T. Whitaker's unbroken rec
ord of victories was finally ended,
for Nathan Robins took first place
with 10-1. Whitaker was second
with 90. Frank Pozarek was a
good third with 612-2l2, while
Hugh C. Underwood. next, with
IA, had the pleasure of defeating
both Robins and Whitaker.
At the Washington Chess Dlvan'
Mr.. Robins had to share first
place with Comdr. Charles D. Mott
in a 10-second tourney contested
on February 26. Each had 6-2,
while D. H. Mugridge was a close
third with 5l2-2l2. The remain
ing scores we're: o. Shapiro and
M. Shultz. 4l2-312; E. M. Knapp
and S. Naidel. 3l2-4l2; M. kurtz
2-6, and w. j. Nucker, 12-712. The
following game from this event
will perhaps convince doubters
that interesting, original and rea-
sonable accurate chess can be pro-
duced under the conditions OF 10

When any one offers you his
own dog as a gift, think twice
before accepting 1t. Also, you will
do we'll to make careful inquiries
A winning dog was offered
to me as a present by a man
whom I hardly knew. I declined
the gift. Later, learned that the
animal had killed sheep and
chickens and small dogs. and that
the authorities had given the
owner his choice of sending the
killer away or having him shot.
I know of many more such
cases.
Usually, when your dog comes
home scratched and cut from an
encounter with the neighbor's cat
there is little danger. Unless the
wound is deep. light application
of iodine will be all that is neces-
sary.
If the animals eyes have been
scratched apply hot congresses
of boric acid solution, followed by
one drop of 10 per cent solution
of argyrol. In all cases OF deep
cuts in the eye or on the BODY
take the dog to veterinarian.

Of all, we will have cover for Wild
life to take the place of the pines

Later we will begin another
hedge to divide off our alfalfa
field on the back side of our place,
and as we gradually inch in on
our pines and weed plots we will
have coming on a close, thick
cover for quail that also will pro-

I wonder why more people have
not planted rose hedge fences,
