Drive Is Necessary
Do not for a moment think
that I advocate the potterine
sort of hound that has a good
nose but prefers smelling the line
to getting forward on it. He is
as faulty in his way as his poor
nosed cousin. A hound that
dwellS on a line. "boohooing" re-
peatedly in the same spot and
thus losing precious time, is GER
tainly not a type to be admired
Drive. or the volition to get for
ward, is what such potterers
lack. Drive is trait developed
notably in modern fox hounds.
Shape. To have a pace, q
hound must be symmetrical in
conformation, otherwise speed
becomes mechanically impossible
Hunting sense depends on men
tally, early training, experience
and huntsman's influence.
GameneSS depends upon deter.
mination and stamina. Deter.
mination means will, and STAN
ina stands for endurance, A
hound that has not both cannot
be game" Together these two
attributes endow the animal with
"gameneSs"; no hound that lacks
this trait should ever be bred, re-

that they will transmit theil
weakness if bred. Would anyone

"Cry" Is Varied
Cry is the method that one
hound has Of telling another

within hearing instantly will be
on the qui vive, often stop, cock
their heads to listen, and at 8
second challenge will be off like
the wind to join the fray. Hounds
on a cold line of a fox will give
quite a different quality of note
from that given on a fresh line.
From my knowledge that fast
American hounds give maximum

me to understand why English

TREASURY GETS
'GUARDSNEN'

Guardsmen are on duty in the
Treasury Department today.
They may look the same as
the watchmen of yore, wear the
same uniforms, be the same men.
But they are no longer Watchmen.
They are guardSmen.
That fact was impressed upon
them yesterday at a formal in
spection by their commandant,
Chief Clerk F. A. Birgfeld.
The military designation comes
in accordance with Acting Secre-
tary Morgenthau, who has issued
instructions that the guardSmen
perform their duties with military
precision and snap. The inspec-
tons will be a regular thing to
keep them in military form.

, sary, to "Stay" for hours, nego-
tiating the toughest possible ter
rain, often including rocky cliffs,
burned forests, sandy wastes,
ploughed fields, brush and briars;
fording brooks, swimming rivers;
and to follow scent in hot Sep
TENDER and snowy January, in
dusty roads and frozen fields, with
speed and drive.
Breeding Plan Suggested
Is it wise to imagine that one
can arbitrarily produce any theo-
retically ideal hound in a genera
ton or two by crossing x and Y?
Would it not be better to decide
what requirements are needed in
the pack, and then attempt to
ascertain what existing strain Of
hounds already possesses the
maximum of such qualities and
can most consistently reproduce
the same?
It is suggested, If nose, deter
mination and cry are desired in. a
pack, one should select a definite
strain of hounds known positively
to possess a maximum of such
qualities and the ability to repro
duce them. It is also essential
that one should select breeding
hounds known to have been
proved by comparison to such q
standard, and know their progeni-
tors have a like dependable his
tory.
In breeding, one should never,
absolutely never, breed hound
only because he or she is q good
individual; one should be cog
infant of all the characteristics of
the ancestry. A pedigree a mile
long is useless If it cannot be
translated.
To analyze the physical and
mental attributes intelligently is
no easy task; nevertheless, I shall
take them in order.
Heredity, it must be remember
ed, is the fundamental basis OF
innate characteristics.
Three Qualities Needed
Pace depends on three qualities:
Nose, drive and shape.
The modern fashionable English
fox hound has symmetrical form,
based on artificial show standards,
and splendid drive, but, in the
opinion of many people, the least
efficient nose OF any seeming
hound. Such characteristics make
it difficult for English hounds to
account for foxes under American
conditions.
As well as shape, full well he
knows
To kill Their fox, they must
have nose.
In England, it seems not ull-
usual for hounds to run to heel.
There are probably three rea-
sons for this--typical English
hounds, on account Of local con-
ditions, are more manhandied
than is physically possible in topo-
graphically rough America, and
therefore, such hounds have less
opportunity of being dependent
upon themselves for accuracy;
often English hounds are brought
to q view halloo under great ex-
element, accompanied by the gal
Looping of horses, and thereby may
flash the wrong way again; again
they may, when brought to- a
halloo, catch the body scent Of =
fox floating in the breeze, and in
their eagerness run heel with the
scent in the air.
In comparison it is marvellous to
see a thoroughly good pack of
Virginia hounds unravel a COM
plicated line where any error
might cause a complete loss. In
North Carolina, grey foxes will
often run straight away some dis
lance, and then dart into swamp
and start doubling, sometimes
foiling their own line several times
in a few minutes in the most COM
plicated manner; and yet hounds

Cry to be retained, must be
bred for. It is, in my belief, an
artificial, man-made development
in hounds, since it exists only
in rudimentary form in other
dogs, foxes and wolves, which
are said sometimes to give cry
when hunting their game.

HERR|OT SLATED

I'm FRANCE

PARIS. Nov. "a QN.SJ
Camille Chautemps, one Of the
leaders of the Radical Socialist
party and premier in 1880,
emerged from the rapidly chang
ing French political scene today
as the most likely choice to head
the next cabinet, succeeding that
of Albert Sarraut, oyerthrown by
the Chamber of Deputies early
this morning.
Although Chautemps was ex.
pected to be the first chosen to
form new government, former
Premier Edouard Herriot held the
key position.
J HerriOt Soon in Office
It was generally felt that
Chautemps, should he succeed in
forming a cabinet, would be only
an ad interim premier, with
Herriot again in office before
the end Of the year.
;Chautemps and Herriot headed
the list of political leaders Sched-
uled to be called in for consulta-
ton by President Albert Lebrun
to-day. All parties desired an
early solution of the situation,
which, along with other factors,
has gravely imperilled the franc.
Leaders Of all parties appeared
10 sense the seriousness Of crisis
and seemed willing to shelve
minor differences, at least tenn
porarily, to obtain balancing
o2 the national budget as soon
aS possible.
These leaders, in fact, after
nearly 10 hours of debate in the
chamber, were all but ready to
support M. Sarraut on his budget
plan, even though a provision
for cutting government employees
salaries was opposed by most.
Surprise Vote
However, due to what was gen.
efally regarded as a tactical error
On the part of Sarraut, the
chamber defeated him in a sur
prise vote at 2:30 a. M, 32l to
DAT.
The Sarraut cabinet had been
In office less than a month, hav-
Ing been sworn in on October 81.
II was the fourth government to

falling to hurdle financial prob
lens.

had material influence as the
tap-root of several strains Of
American hounds, as may be seen
by reference to the letters and
records of MesSrs. Trigg, Maupin,
Wade and Walker; also, refer

Turf Register and other sporting

AS late as 1915, several couples
Of these hounds, which were OF

called before the magistrate upon
complaint that he had kept q
mack of "dopS" which attacked
passersby. Mike pleaded that his

the safety of the colonists in that
they destroyed foxes, wolves and
other varmint."
Road Was Moved
It seems that the justice agreed
with Mike, and that the road was
moved back so that the hounds
might be undisturbed. AS the col
onies developed, the number OF
hounds increased.
French hounds were imported
to Louisiana, probably in the sew

ancestor in America OF Mr.. Per-

of sporting dogs, whose delightful
paintings of fox hounds are
known the world over.
An Irish importation Of 1880
was largely responsible for the
tap-root of the Henry, Birdsong,
and Trigg strains. Walker hounds

10 years ago.

teristics where animals are OF the
pure strain.
Virginia Hounds Best
After many years of experience,
the author has become convinced
that the most efficient pack
hound in the world to hunt q fox
is this Old Virginia fox hound.
Anyone can become fooliShly SEN
timental over a breed of animals;
however, I have continued to
breed this strain of hounds not
on account of sentiment or ro-
nance, but because, after search
ing throughout Europe and Amer
lea to discover hounds excelling
them for pack hunting under diff
ficult conditions of seeming and
rough country, I have failed to
see.
In certain sections-notably
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennes-
see-where the custom Of racing
hounds for love or lucre obtains,
the selection of the fittest during
many generations has fostered
and developed the best hound,
probably, in the world, in it's
ability to find, work a cold line,
hunt at speed, and account for
foxes.

While she was talking with miners interested in the garden clubs, Mrs Roosevelt found that their greatest need was preserve jars in which to keep the sum- mer's crop for winter use.
 Preserve jars cannot be made they must be bought. The min- CTS had obtained a number by trading their produce for them, but still needed many more to make the best use of the crop.

The surprise visit of the presi- dents wife already has become a .ogend in northern West Virginia "a legend and an inspiration.
 In humble company houses" the miners and their wives rever- ently display things that she touched. and repeat time and again the things that she said to them. And everywhere one hears, Things are going to be better row; Mrs Roosevelt is interested in us."
 The district as a whole did not know of Mrs Roosevelt's visit un- til the morning of her departure. Then crowd gathered in front of the home of Mine Superintendent Glenn Work to see the First Lady get into her car and drive away.
 Although there were at least 50 persons in the crowd, Mrs Roose- welt shook hands with each be- fore she left. One swarthy miner had ''piece" to say.

The party was seen passing through Fairmount and it was thought that Mrs Roosevelts dahghter and granddaughter, "Sistie" Dall, were in the car.
 The Work household. in which Mrs Roosevelt spent two days, naturally has the most anecdotes of her visit. MT Work likes to recall how the presidents wife and her companion, Lorena Hick ok. joked at the dinner table about the fattening effect of too many biscuits.
 Once, during her last morning at the Work home. the First Lady picked up the insistently ringing telephone herself.
