conditions and other factors.
The fox doubled back by Mr..
Iselin's skeet shooting ran g e,
crossed Goose Greek into Mr.. Wal
ter Goodwin's, moved through the
farm group, by Mr.. Goodwin's
house, down across the road (run-

Oaks, and up into the eastern
portion of Mr.. Sands place.
Scent Was Excellent
BY the time we reached the last
named, hounds were going about
as fast as I've ever seen hounds
go. Scent was excellent.
On the western portion Of Mr..
Sands estate there was bad fall,
where you Jump a rail fence, land
on about three feet Of turf and
then go down a perpendicular
bank about four feet in depth into
a road. This fall held the field
up for a few minutes, until we de-
termined there were no serious
injuries.
We then crossed the Pot House
Three Oaks Road into Mr.. Joseph
B. Thomas old place. ct was the
first time in some 10 years that
I have crossed his place while
huntingO
From here we went into the
Camp Meeting Woods. By this
time the field was pretty well
strung out.
Among us was stranger from
the Middle West. He was out in
a pink coat, quite the custom on
the other side of the water, but
not done on this side so much,
except for Thanksgiving and
other holidays, although the mas
ter and hunt staff dress in pink.
Immediately with the hunts
man and whip were only five or
six of the original field, the rest
being scattered, probably because
of the fall and the visiting pink
coat from the Middle West.
A number of the original field
did not know the country, and
the fox, having taken a decidedly
different line from his usual one,
put even the wise ones off.
It was a good Seven-mile point
an excellent one.
He got off the line, somehow,
and a goodly portion Of the
field, thinking him to be the
huntsman, followed him. Il sup
pose by now they all are in De-

Fox and hounds by this time
were pretty well beaten, and
when he came to Beaver Dam
Creek, which is in Piedmont ter

incomes and Public Utilities
Hit Hardest Under Plan
To Raise $1,161,000
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 81.
Gov. George C. Peery'S inaugural
recommendations are carried out
an q bill introduced yesterday in
the State Senate by Senator A.
p. Staples, Roanoke, after Sena-
tor w. A. Garrett, Pittsylvania,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, had refused to be the
patron, because he is opposed to
the tax increase plans OF the
new governor.
One of hte provisions Of the
bill will affect approximately
10000 persons and has been
labeled by its opponents as a
salary tax.
Exemptions Lowered
It is officially referred to as
lowering the exemptions in the
present State income tax law
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually
for married persons, and lowers
the exemption for single persons
from $3.50 to $1,000. The ex-
emptions for dependents are re-
dnced from $400 to 5000.
The bill is calculated to raise
revenue for the State approx
mately $1,161,0O0, from which
41,00O,000 would be turned direct
" into the school system.
Other provisions are reduction
from $4,000 to $4,000 for inheri-
tance tax exemptions, which are
taxed / per cent; per cent tax
On the gross receipts Of moving
picture theaters; the muchly de-
hated tax on sales instead Of pur-
chases Of retail merchants, and
revision Of the wholesalers mer-
chant licenses.
Railroads Hard Hit
Railroads are to be subjected to
additional taxation in several
forms; public utility buses oper-
ated within city limits are to be
taxed 3 per cent; the lone gas
pipe line company in the State is
to be taxed $120 for each Of the
2O2.51 miles Of line it has in the
State; sleeping car companies are
to be assessed 2 per cent Of their
gross on operations in Virginia,
Telephone and power, light, water
and heat companies also will be
subjected to taxation on items
which heretofore have escaped the
legislators eyes.
Senator Staples bill provides
the $1,000,0OO was to be appropri.
ated to schools, but that none of
the money be turned over to local.

80 per cent of salaries of teachers.

borliness. Probably no man ever
communicated a greater zest for
living, a greater sense of Amer
ican responsibility. The chal-
lenge Of the chase fires him,
brings to him ruggedness, virility.
He should be the mental and
physical embodiment of vitality.
Average everyday tests of fox
hunting make for valor, and
through these tests that most de-
sirable American quality is de-
veloped. From a military point
Of view this fact is more than
pasSingly important.
Fox hunting, probably better
than any other of our sports or
pastimes, expresses the verve and
vigor of American life, the re-
sourcefulness and militant energy
of the American spirit. Partici-
patton in the sport by elders and
youngsters alike is an education
n itself, and the real end Of educa-
ton is not Latin or mathematics,
but character. Those of us long
in the sport know that we have
been able to reach straight
through to the imaginationS and
the hearts and souls of youngsters
around us, and shape the clay Of
youth while it is soft to the touch.
I include polo as well as hunting.
Vital Economic Factor
Then, too, as Harry Costello
pointed out in The Washington
Times of September 20. 1888, "fox
hunting is vital economic fac
tor in community life in North
ern Virginia"
Mr.. Costello goes on to point
out that "54 fox-hunting people
in the Scott district, owning
about $4,000 acres out of total
of 86,474 in the district, pay
more than one-half the taxes;

Benning Citizens Hit
Unsafe Crossing

Branding as "deplorable" the
lack of a safe railroad crossing the
Benning Citizens Association has
asked attention of the House Dis
trict Committee be turned toward
their community.
An unsafe railroad crossing has
already resulted in the death Of
one high school girl and several
adults, the association says, and
small school children daily have
to cross double tracks.
Closing Of the D. C. incinerator
has also resulted in operation Of
q large dump near their homes,
members claimed, requiring them
to keep windows closed winter and
summer.

In Prince Georges, Board
Told at Meeting

"Chiseling" by wholesalers in

county license and who are selling
beer and liquor to Prince Georges
County retailers was the subject
of a protest from county whole
salerS to the Board of Licenses
Commissioners at a special meet
ing at Upper Marlboro yesterday.
The board decided to draw up
circular warning at it's meeting
next Thursday which will be sent
to county retailers and licensed
wholesalers, pointing out the vio-
lation.
It is said that county retailers
are going into Washington to buy
beer from wholesalers who are
not licensed in the county, and
that district wholesalers not
licensed in the county are deliv-
ering goods in the county. Dis
trict wholesalers may get
county distributors license to
legalize their trade.
County wholesalers are COM
planning because they pay
$1,000 fee for the privilege.
The license board is not an en-
forcement agency under the act,
said A. Gwynn Bowie, counsel to
the board, and thus is sending
only a warning.

Mrs. Green told the association
that at the beginning of the
school year requests had been
made for the necessary articles,
including a Sterilizer, but that
only half had been received.
According to figures furnished
at last nights meeting there are

Car Stop Asked
The association will request
the Capital Transit Company to
change the car stop from the
east side of Nichols Avenue, to
Nichols Avenue and Good Hope
Road, and install a safety isle
at the latter point.
Without advocating passage Of
any particular bill, the associ-
alton voted to indorse in princi.
pal only an old,age pension for

Needs of additional Fairgrounds
in Anacostia was stressed by
President George H. Havenner,
who suggested the chairman of the

There's an old saying among
Irish fox hunters: Every tomor-
row may hold some great advep-
ture if you will but feel that al
life is ahead" Your true fo2
hunter feels that all life is aheac

great, fails to take away from him
that bright viewpoint.

The subsequent activity in the

hunted fox took line that none
of us have ever seen him take
before, and also in that We had an
exciting and rather humorous day
after the hounds.

and drew Mrs. Tabb's again. A

Back across the creek. Drew
Mr.. Oliver Iselin's over into Mr..
Olmstead Carter's place, and on
into Mr.. Belmont's, where a fox
was started. He headed toward
the village of Middleburg.
While the field was standing
atop a hill, to see how matters
were going to go, across the val
ley, in the opposite direction from
Middleburg, on Mr.. Iselin'S place,
a fox was viewed, running toward
Mr.. Iselin's house!
The master blew his whistle.

Chiselers Curbed

THE perishable agricultural commodities act
! during the past four years has been the
vehicle by which 9,197 persons have sought
redress for wrongs in connection with the ship
ment of products to market. Sixty per cent Of
the cases were settled informally by correspond
ence, thus making the more detailed investiga-
tions required by formal hearing unnecessary.
The usual basis for complaint was the rejec-
ton of a shipment without just cause or the
refusal to ship for an equal lack of just cause
Before the act became law, INSCRIPTIONS
shippers, having contracted for perishable goods
and finding the price at the time of arrival
higher than the selling price, refused to accept
shipment for various reasons which would
hardly stand up under investigation. The
shipper had no redress other than expensive
court action.
Under the law now in effect, all wholesalers
are licensed and subject to fine by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture if found guilty of unwar-
ranted refusal to accept shipment.

Strange Feeds Stored

THE farmers silos will find strange mixtures

ceivable source of stock food is garnered for
Winter feeding.
1t used to be, back in prohibition days. that
farmers sometimes found the liquid in the
bottoms of their silos liquid which could be
distilled into powerful, if none-too-p o-palatable,
liquor.
The liquid which will collect this year
would hardly be so used.
Ordinarily, silos were filed with corn, alfalfa,
clover and similar green stuff, but this year

Relief Commission
Lieut.. B. w. Peyton, in charge Of the range.
Is a picturesques, hard boiled Army type who
began his career early and managed to pack
lot Of excitement into the years between 1915
and 1920. While a student at the Texas School
of Mines he was sent into Mexico with the
Civilian Service Corps and s6 mules.
Before they returned, act of Congress
had enlisted all Civilian Service Corps, as well
as combat forces, so Peyton was automatically
in the Army. He was assigned to a remount
station at Fort Bliss. El Paso. and there ar
rested Pancho Villas brother for desertion
from an American Infantry post.
Peyton is extremely reticent about his own
exploits but admits that the most colorful epi-
sode in which he ever participated had to do
with taking 1900 mules from Newport News,
Va to Queenstown, Ireland, aboard the famous
Hercules, Austrian boat reserviced and re-
named. The trip took 80 days and 600 mules
were lost. They were loaded so closely that
they had to remain standing for the entire
voyage.
Nothing in France scared me after that
trip" declares Peyton, recalling that the Her
cules went to New York to get a convoy and
then couldn't keep up with it, that the engine
broke down in midocean. that there was fire
and mutiny aboard and that their boat was
sideswiped by a torpedo. The ill-fated Her
cules sank on the return trip.

nothing was expected until after dark. 1t
looked like certain suicide for a supply wagon
to attempt a dash of 600 yards from nearest
cover to the trenches while German fire swept
the area.
Suddenly four-hitch mule team came DASH
ing down the grade from cover, dumped load
of ammunition and beat Q hasty retreat. Pey-
ton drove that mule team and unloaded that
ammunition single handed. He and the team
were perfect target, yet not shot was fired
at them. Probably the enemy was too amazed
to shoot. For this exploit Peyton received the
Distinguished Service Cross.
Peyton knows cattle well. He even can rec
ognize at a glance the many different brands
these drought victims carry. But horseflesh is
his long suit and he likes nothing so well as to
feel bucking horse under him.

In one of the most peculiar ac-

BARLEY SEED
FROM VALLEY
TO BE TESTED

Splendid samples of valley grown
seed, both white federation wheat
and Atlas barley, are being sent
by H. Lee Landerman, assistant
farm advisor, to Berkeley and to
Sacramento, where, if they meet
the rigid tests, they will be given
the Cal-Approved label, the high
est recommendation that can be
given any seed.
Samples are sent to j. Earl Coke,
head of the agronomy division,
University of California at Ber-
kelley and to the state seed lab
oratories where tests are made
for termination and purity. The
white federation seed was grown
by L. c. Hawk and the Atlas barley
by F.. P. Lehman.
If the samples are approved by
both divisions, stencils will be CIV
