To Link French and
Spanish Railroads

BY G. A. RANDAU

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Oct. Forced to abandon
all her trans-Pyrenees railroad prof.
ects during the five years Of war
France has now set herself to the
completion of the long postponed tun-
nels which will link the French and
Spanish lines at three inland points.
AT present only the roundabout
lines by way of Perpignan or via Bay
onne connect the two nations. Spain
has, however, just celebrated the com
pletion of her section of the line
which will join Axles-Thermes in
France with Ripoll in Spain.
The line between these functions
was first proposed by NJ Delcasse in
1903, when he as minister of foreign
affairs inserted this proposition in the
Frances spanish convention The line
should have been completed in 1917,
In France the work was pushed for
ward rapidly and would have been
completed on schedule had not the
war interrupted.
In Spain the work was carried on.
On Sunday, August 10, under the
presidency of NJ Galdes Canyero, un-
secretary of state for fomento,
the completion of the first section
from Ripoll to Ribas, distance of
fifteen kilometres, was celebrated at
Ribas, near the frontier. On the rest
o fthe route from Ribas to Puigcerda
an dto the frontier line, the roadbed
is prepared. The tunnel under the To-
sas hills is completed and only the
laying of the rails remains unfin-
ished Fourteen millions have been
devoted to the project, and hopes are
held that the line will be in full op-
Grafton within two years.

HOT TIPS FOR
HUNTER GIVEN
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
New York, Oct. S-Every exper
fenced hunter knows what good
dog Is 1t is given to everyone tC
know how to keep a dog in condi
tion and get the best out Of him
The fall hunting season will soon be
in full swing and the following tips
may be of aid in adding not only
to the comfort of the dog but the
success Of the hunter:
Perhaps your dog has not been
hunted before this season. 1t may
be that he is just off the chain and
not in field trail condition. His
muscles are flabby, his flesh is soft
and long continued work will not
tire him for the day but will inca
pacitate him for the next day.
A short preparatory run where
there is no game will often tone
down dog and fit him for work.
If the hunter is away from home
On an expedition the first care should
be to see that the dog has proper
quarters for the night. His care
should not be delegated to hotel ser
wants but the master should by
personal inspection assure himself
of the comfort and proper feeding
Of the dog.
For hunting, a dog should be fed
very sparingly in the morning. Give
him a bite or two of your lunch at
noon and let the full meal be given
after the days work is finished. A
dog will not hunt well on a full
stomach nor. will his food digest
well while he is working in the
field.
If you have a brace of dogs work
them alternately. Let one do the
hunting while the other is resting
at heel Do not permit dog to lie
in water for any length of time while
afield. An occasional plunge will do
no harm, however.
On returning at night examine
your dog carefully. A slight hand
rubbing will disclose thorns or
briars. They cannot be removed too
quickly if found.
Special attention should be given
to the feet. If they are inflamed or
tender they should be bathed in
beef brine which can be obtained
from any butcher. If the skin is
worn or the foot wounded, vaseline
should be applied. II very badly Off
the dog should be 'laid up" until he
reaches condition again.
