All their coin for a small string

in the country will exhibit their
wares at the Atlantic City Air

If the Japanese get too huffy,

punish them by stopping sending

them.

Dogs to Sport Wares
A dog show, bigger and better
than ever, is to be held by the
Kennel Club of Atlantic City as
its seventh annual event on the
Steeplechase Pier, September
26th to 27th. The dogs will be
judged under the rules of the
American Kennel Club, a galaxy
of famous canine judges to be in
the resort at that time to pick
the beauties. The two-day exhibit
will be held for the benefit of the
Atlantic City Hospital.
Maybe the reason General
Dawes got along so well in Eu
rope was that the administration
has nothing to do with his mis
sion.

To See Local Dog Races
The famous motion picture star
—Douglas Fairbanks — will prob
ably be in the resort around August

tentions of viewing the snanpy ca
nines* racing, but has been held nacl:
by pressure of work. However, he
is confident he’ll be able to reach
the shore by the eighth of next
month, which? will be a source of
delight to movie and dog fans alike.
He will award a trophy to the
winner of the feature race on the
evening of his presence at the popu
lar park, which is the scene nightly
of speedy races in which some of
the most valuable canines in the
country sport their wares.
