NICHOLS (United Tnu suit Writer) Washington, June 13 (UA The most noble Chief Cur has called the annual meeting to order and we members of the Order of Yellow Dogs will come hither, tail-wagging. I was initiated last year Into the Yellow Dogs, a kennel of the department of commerce. I went in as a pup. As of now, I am a full-grown hound dog. The most noble chief cur, or "big bark" as we called him, is Gerald Ryan. He not only uses good dog sense In organ izing the annual funfest, but writes an amusing letter to mem bers every once in awhile. V Kennel No. 2 meets each spring at the farm of John Col lins over in Virginia. It's quite a show. When I got my cur card last year, the boys gave me the works, harmless, but fun. They put you through the same sort of nonsence you go into in Joining a college frater nity which seems to be a little silly for grown-up people. First you are blind-folded and made to crawl through all sorts of obstacles; hop over fences that aren't there and dodge paddles we fat men couldn't hit the afterdeck of a fellow cur .with. There are all sorts of sound effects, like the rattling of tin cans and the pounding of clubs on the bottom sides of wash tubs. Nobody gets hurt, everybody has fun and the hot dogs are hot and the suds cool. Ryan thought for a time he had made a mistake In plan ning the spring outing for next Saturday. The National Press club is running its annual carni val the same day and many yel low dogs also belong to the club. Ryan now can, sigh with re lief and does. One of the Press club carnival's main at tractions won't be on hand. It Is quite a story. Johnny Webster, a lawyer member of the club, accepted a sleek, black gelding in lieu of a fee in a court martial case Having no room for a horse on his little place in Virginia, John ny farmed Trigger out to his friend, Navy Capt. Walter Karig. Karig's pretty 23 year-old daughter, Keating, put a pretty leg over the black beauty and soon discovered it was a fancy jumper. Under pressure, she agreed to invade the Press club stag party and put the beast over the hurdles. Well, sir, the other day Trig ger kicked open the door of the paddock, pumped his hind legs and disappeared Into the woods, Johnny's unhappy over losing what amounted to his fee. The Karigs are unhappy and Keating is heart-broken. The Press club isn't very happy, either, having billed the horse and its lovely rider as one of the chief attractions. Most Noble Chief Cur Ger ald Ryan is wearing a sly grin. He expects a good turnout at the yellow dogs meeting. Visiting at Grand Ronde Four Corners Mrs. Delia Langley and children, Jackie and Beryl, are visiting in the home of Mrs. Blanche Langley for several weeks. Their home is in Grand Ronde. Green Sued for Divorce Portland, June 13 r Weal thy Harry A. Green, chairman of the board of directors of the Doernbecher Manufact uring company of Portland, was sued for divorce yesterday.
