general descriptive term "fawn" and does not say a word about 

 color disqualification for penciling, in two shades of fawn. 

 Moreover, not mentioning this at all, the English Penciled Run- 

 ner is still strictly a Standard duck, carefully bred to a Standard 

 that is stronger on type than the American Standard for Run- 

 ners has ever been. English ducks are very properly bred to^ 

 English Standards and are as thoroughly Standard ducks as any 

 that can be mentioned. More so, in fact, because they follow- 

 true Runner type. To speak of them as non-standard is simply 

 to make one more attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the people 

 who want to know, and who have been, in the past, blinded be- 

 yond measure by the "dust."
