Helis Shells Out More
Heavy Coin for Colts
Tty tt>e Associated Press.
WESTBURY, N. Y„ Aug. 8 —
William Helis, the New Orleans oil
man who has been paying top prices
at the various yearling sales, is con
tinuing to shell out heavy money for
the untried youngsters.
The sportsman who paid $66,000
two years ago for Pericles, a colt
that never has raced, paid fancy
prices for a number of babies at
Lexington a week ago and yesterday
he loosened his bankroll some more
by buying a Blue Larkspur colt for
$35,000.
That was top price for the open
ing day of the three-day sales be
ing conducted by the Fasig-Tipton
Co. The colt was a dark bay by
Blue Larkspur-Gallant Lady and
was consigned by the Nydrie Stud.
Helis got two other colts for $5,
000 each. One was a gray by Imp.
Qino-Teddy’s Cross consigned by
Kentmere Farm, and the other was
1 bay colt by the Ascot Gold Cup
winner, Flares, out of Broad Ripple.
The sale prices were lower than
ihose at Lexington but still brought
in an average of $3,623 a head. Six
ly-one yearlings brought a total of
*221,000.
Second high for the day was the
*21,000 Joseph M. Roebling paid for
i dark bay filly by Menow-Heloise
and consigned by the Nydrie Stud.
Saddle Folk to Stage
Good Shows With
Local Talent
By LARRY LAWRENCE.
While the strict ruling of the
ODT has caused two of the best
autumn fixtures of the country, an
nually held in the Capital area, to
be called off, horse show fans and
exhibitors will be able to enjoy good
equine sport at the local shows, which
will go on as usual.
The ODTs restrictions, which will
not allow entries to be accepted
from beyond State lines or even
from adjoining counties, will cut
down the entries to only local horses.
This limits the performers at the
larger shows, which draw quality
entries from the top stables of sev
eral nearby States. The manage
ment of both the Warrenton show,
originally scheduled for September
1 and 3, and the Maryland Hunt
show, September 7, 8 and 9, felt it
would be better to call off these
events rather than lower their
standards.
During the next three weeks some
good shows will be held in this part
of the horse world. While the en
tries will be fewer than usual, com
petition will be of the keenest, for in
every part of this sector there are
superior hunters and jumpers. Next
Saturday the celebrated Warrenton
pony show will be held at the War
renton, Va., show grounds. This
annual performance, regarded as the
outstanding pony show of the coun
try, is run exclusively by juniors.
Many of the present officials are the
offspring of those who as youngsters
inaugurated the affair over a score
of years ago.
The Suitland, Md., horse and pony
show will open at 9 a.m. August 26,
on the estate of James B. Bland.
This well-managed event, jointly
sponsored by the Young Democratic
Club and the Caravan Club, is one
of the best equine performances held
annually in Southern Maryland.
Unfortunately, the Herndon, Va.,
show is scheduled for the same Sun
day at Fairfax, Va., fair grounds.
Fourteen classes, with hunter and
jumper championships, make up an
excellent card.
Show Committees Are Selected
For Big October Dog Events
By R. R. TAYNTON.
Various committees have been
announced for the October show of
the Old Dominion and Rock Creek
Kennel Clubs. Chairman of the
bench committees are Ray Scaggs
and Jean Classen. Mr. and Mrs.
Bill Massicott will be chief stewards
for both shows and they plan to
hold a training class for stewards
at a place and time to be announced.
In the meantime, volunteers for
these important positions are asked
to send their names to the Massl
cotts. Junior stewards and ring at
tendants also will be needed.
Ben Klimktewicz is in charge of
the tickets and Kay Shouse, who
is acting as president of Old Do
minion, is in charge of publicity.
Lois Landreth, who handled the
country garden market and raffles
so efficiently last year, again has
been pressed into service and prom
ises a live turkey, as one of the
prizes. Eileen Mason is chairman
of both trophy committees and Ruth
Wolford of the advertising commit
tees.
Something extra special is prom
ised in the way of children’s han
dling classes but details may not
be divulged until approved by the
American Kennel Club.
Curtain reisers for the show will
consist of steward training classes
and classes in handling for novice
exhibitors. These will be held at
several points with location and
teachers to be announced.

XXTe waited a long, long time to see a
’ * newspaper headline saying: “Alumi
num released for civilian demands.”
W’e waited for that day because we know
how much women mi$s new aluminum
cooking utensils, aluminum-wrapped food
products, and new light-weight household
appliances of aluminum. And, now that
Alcoa Aluminum has been released for
these things, and you may not yet be able
to find your favorite line of aluminum
products in the stores, we believe that you
would like to know you will get them:
1. Just as soon as workers are released from
war work so they can take jobs making
civilian goods.
2. Just as soon as such work does not inter
fere in any way with existing or future war
contracts. v
3. Just as soon as other parts which manu
facturers use with aluminum, such as small
motors, handles, etc., are available in
sufficient quantities.
4. Just as soon at shipping containers and
^shipping space are available.
We join with you in wishing that this day
may come speedily. We know you also join
with us in recognizing that winning the war
comes first and nothing must interfere with it.
But it is gratifying to know that the
good things of the aluminum age are within
sight and that you will soon be enjoying
more and more of the Alcoa Aluminum
that has done so much to lighten the
burdens of everyday life.

A kennel tragedy occurred recently
when Hickory of Wolf Trap, Mrs.
Jouett Shouse’s prize boxer was
found dead in her crate upon arrival
here from Louisville. Hickory was
a beloved pet and house dog as well
as show dog.
June was a gala month for the
Field Dog Stud Book with an entry
of 1,507 dogs of which 34 were
Britany spaniels and 70 German
shorthairs, nearly a record in both
breeds. Pointers led the field with
629 registrations and English set
ters followed with 545.
At last a book has been published
from which a novice can learn
about his breed. The book is called
"Judging the Boxer’’ and was writ
ten and illustrated by that well
known all-around Judge and famous
artist, Enno Meyer. The illustra
tions are the nub of the book. They
demonstrate visually both the ideal
conformation and the possible vari
ants therefrom. The accompanying
text is written in nontechnical
language and easy to follow. An
illustrated glossary of dog terms also
is included.
