	Poodle Facts and Grooming and Clipping
		Good clippers are costly and should be cared for, they will last longer and the blades will stay sharper.
		The small carbon brushes and springs wear out quickly in an old clipper, making the machine rattle when it is run; as they are easily replaced by unscrewing the small knobs on the side of the machine, these extra parts should be always on hand.

	The Age of Clippers

	Clipper Summary
		The term was first applied to speedy schooners called Baltimore clippers (built in Virginia and Maryland) which became famous for escaping the British blockade and acting as privateers during the War of 1812.
		The clippers were unusual in their material as well as their shape.
		Although 100-ft longer than the original clipper ships, and equipped with the latest in seafaring technology as well as an engine, these new clippers are outfitted with 36,000 sq ft of barkentine rig sails which give the 160 passengers the true experience of a tall sailing ship with all the amenities of a yacht.

	Saving the American Elm
		The Dutch elm disease fungus, like purple loosestrife and water hyacinth, thus provides us with yet another classic illustration of the danger inherent in the introduction of an organism into an ecosystem that is not its own.
		Inevitably, the continuing pattern of destruction soon will threaten the survival of the species, for although young saplings are still common, the current population consists primarily of immature specimens with little chance of reaching a stately maturity, and the large, mature examples that still are seen occasionally are being eliminated rapidly.
		The development of purely American elm varieties with adequate resistance to Dutch elm disease remains the only hope for ultimately saving the species, as systematic injection with elm fungicide is an expensive, cumbersome, and unnatural process.

		The Baltimore type had several very striking peculiarities which, in the eyes of a stranger, gave immediate cause for anxiety and alarm, for any vessel described by the lookout as a" rakish looking craft" was at once suspected of being an ocean free-lance.
		Other characteristics of the Baltimore clipper were long, easy water lines, with nothing concave about them like those of the later American clippers, great dead rise at the midship section, and an unusual number of flying kites in addition to her working sails, which were, of course, like all American sails of gleaming cotton duck.
