Order of Yellow Dogs Called
Por Meeting in Washington
By HARMAN W. 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.

Sam Boardman
To Retire July 1
The state highway commission
today confirmed that Sam
Boardman, superintendent of
state parks, would retire from
his position July 1 after 31 years
work for the state.
Boardman began his service
as resident engineer of the
Boardman, eastern Oregon dis
trict, in 1919. In 1929 he be
came head of the state parks di
vision, with offices here.
The outgoing superintendent,
who is 75 years old and in fair
ly good health, guided the Ore
gon state natural park system
from a few small state parks to
one of the outstanding systems
in the country.
One of his first achievements
as parks superintendent was to
begin a tree planting project
along the scenic Columbia river
highway.
The state parks division comes
under jurisdiction of the high
way commission. Boardman's
retirement had been a rumor
here for some time.
Boardman was expected to
rest awhile before taking up any
new activities, friends said.

another, drawing blood.
