these shooters are mostly after
jackrabbitS.
The past four seasons we
have been fortunate in having
the services of David Thornton,
formerly a whip to the Middle
sex of the days Of A. Henry
Higginson. He also served as
whip with the Hartford and
other well-know4 Eastern hunts.
Mr.. John M. Kuykendall was
the No. horSeman Of Colo
RADIO for many years, and his
willingness to take the master
ship in the beginning had
great deal to do with the sue
cess of the hunt.
The scent of a coyote is dit
ferent than that of a fox, but
if one has ever stuck nose in a
coyote den there is no denying
the fact that there is a special
and distinctive odor to the
coyote.
The coyote seems to have
more early speed than a fox,
though coyotes generally are
not in as good condition as the
English foxes and ordinarily do
not give as long a chase. After
five to eight miles, which
coyote thoroughly enjoys, when
he usually does not do much
more than try to keep at a
convenient distance ahead OF
the hounds, we have found that
the coyotes then go to ground
or try to get around some rocky
cliff (where there is no Scent)
and stop playing with us.
Colorado is VIGOROUSLY dry.
We sometimes have a light snow
fall as early as the middle OF
September which puts a certain
amount of moisture in the
ground, and we have occa-
sional other storms throughout
the winter. Our best seeming
conditions seem to be just be-
fore a storm comes up. At that
time we have a low barometer,
the temperature of the air is
probably cooler than that OF
the ground and the sky some
what overcast with clouds.
On December Of last year
we had a hunt of two and a
half hours duration, at a good
pace all of the time, travelling
in two small circles and one
large circle. It was estimated
that we covered between 20 and
Is miles before hounds, horses
and scent failed.
The coyotes, or the two coy
oteS, were viewed a number OF
times. Some of us were con-
WINGED that we changed coyotes
going through a cover. This
hunt was on a bright sunny
day with half an inch of fresh
snow on the ground.
While it sometimes gets cold
in Colorado, it is Saldom that
the ground is frozen. The snow

Fee For Nonresidents

Agitation by members Of this
Hunt resulted in enactment by
the past session Of the State
Assembly of a bill under which
nonresidentS may hunt here for
five days upon payment OF a
IS license fee. Heretofore the
cost has been $3.50, regardless
Of the number Of days the nom
resident hunted. The new law
will, it is expected, result in
the appearance Of an increas-
ing number of nonresidents in
the hunting field here and else
where in northern Virginia, a
section in which the cry of
hounds may be heard almost
any week day during the season.
The territory controlled by
the Loudoun Hunt is big, open,
rolling Countrywide sort :, of
country in which the thorough
bred may roll to the hounds
truly. a galloping country.

RedlGnd, Md.

In the shortening shadows of
Maryland twilight that falls a
few miles from the Capitol's
dome, a group of impatient
fox hunters gather these eve
ningS. Horses and hounds, runs
and Reynard are being dis
cuSsed under the influence of
autumn'S approach. For, before
many moons, the startled snap
of puppy. an encouraging
boom from his parents, and a
lusty "allyho," will announce
the Redland pack is running on
the heels of a red fox once
more.
Long spring and summer
months, the doldrumS of the
foxhunter, are dribbling away
and soon the Master will be IN
his glory. The clubbing season
will begin and young hounds
and young foxes may know the
thrill Of a chase. It will be the
season when the Master is SUI
preme, when he can call in his
close friends, witness the cast
ing of the tried and the untrled,
and ride away to the packs
first opening Of the 1934-35
season. Entries will be tried,
panels planned, and new dens
found.

They Like Virginia

These hunting people usually
come and hunt a season or
two-they find they have better
sport than they can get at
home. They like the Virginia
people, and if they are the right
sort (and most hunting people
are) the Virginia people like
them. They come here to get
away from the noise and dirt OF
cities, the congestion Of motor
car and truck traffic OF the
Northern roads, and the cares
and worries of business. Here
they can not only hunt, but
they can relax and enjoy life.
Most of them are sold" on
the country and the agreeable
mode Of living. They buy places
200, 500, 1000 acres. One man
has bought over 5000 acres in
the best Of the hunting section.
They "do-over" old houses, or
they build new ones. They take
down wire by the mile, replac-
ing it with picturesque stone
walls and rail fences, which used
to be a feature of the Virginia
landscape. All this creates en-
ployment and brings prosperity
to the community. .
A perusal of the tax records
in these three counties has
shown that during the past
Is years, some $500 acres of
land have been purchased by
hunting men. A minimum val
uation Of $4,000 per acre, in
Guiding improvements, would
make the value Of this prop
erty aggregate to $5,S32, 900,
while twice that figure would
be more nearly correct. This
is an important consideration
to a rural community, par
ticularly at the present time
when farming, and especially
stock-farming, is in such a
precariouS condition.

OF Casanova Hunt
Hank to the hounds! The moon is up;
Still lie the meadows and the hills asleep
flushed all to rest upon the earth's brown breast,
But hard to the hounds! Who follows them tonight?
The hunters turn and wake to hear them pass
The stabbed horses neigh and lash the stalls,
The kenneed hounds now whimper and give tongue.
Who rides tonight behind that yelling pack?
Methought heard the thunder Of swift feet.
What horses these that galop bold and free?
What Master cheers the pack that runs tonight
Beneath the while Old Virginia sleeps?
Now huntingmen and horses long since dead
May sleep but lightly when the hounds speak clear;
That swelling music gallant hearts
To wake and rise and ride again tonight.
Reynard show your mettle and speed!
o little fox be crafty and be sly!
For eerie voices HE the running hounds,
And eerie hoofs drum the Hunters Noon.
Look there-the grey that leads-that lunging black
Mark how the chestnut skins the rail like foam
The Scarletcoated riders their backs
Sit nghtly-see them coming-Talyho!
Only whispering echo wakes the dawn;
Gone are the galloping horses with the moon
But what of the hounds? Who followed them last night?

NORWALK SEIZED
 THE AGITATORS
New York Group Tried to Create Disturbance at
 Gates of Factory

Norwalk, Conn. Aug. 22-(UP A group of agitators from the International Bathrobe Union which sought to persuade approx imately 400 workers at the Royal Robes. Inc, to strike today, were lodged in cells at City Hall after a lively scuffle with police. More than 20 men and women rode into this morning and posted them selves at the factory. stopping workers and urging them to join the union and strike for higher wages. Two policemen tried to break up the group, composed mostly of women. and one was bit- ten on the arm and another scratched on the face. Reserves were called.
 Officers rounded up 13 and charged Frank Baldina. who rep resented himself as company delegate. as the ringleader. They were bundled into patrol wagons and. singing the communist "In- ternationale" at the tops of their lungs. driven through the center of the city to jail where the sing in. continued in such volume City HaR employees were unable to work. Demands were made to "see tho mayor immediately" as all were booked on breach of peace charges.

JUDGE ELLIS WAS
 UPHELD IN VERY
 IMPORTANT CASE
The REC Has First Claim on the Pledged Assests
 of Closed Bank

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 22-- (UP)-The Connecticut supreme court has ruled the reconstruction Finance corporation has the first claim on the pledged assets of q closed bank. The decision, said to be of far reaching importance, was handed down in settling dis puted questions arising over the liQuidation of the commercial Bank and Trust Company which, with two other institutions. were closed year ago by the state banking commissioner.
 The REC had loaned the bank $1,226,3S2 which was pledged by directors before the bank was suspended. The receiver, Attorney George N. Foster. preparing a It. quidation plan, propounded two questions: Whether the bank had the power to pledge the segrated assets of the savings department, and whether the REC thus obtain ed superior rights over all deposi. tors. The decision of Chief Justice William L. Maltbie upheld the ruling of Superior Court Judge Arthur F. Els in disposing of the questions in the lowers court. Judge Els decided:
 l. Said bank has the power to pledge the segregated assets of it's savings department in the manner and for purposes above set forth. and Reconstruction Finance cor poration obtained rights in said pledged assets superior to the rights of all depositors in said savings department.
 2. The loan was made in good faith in an agency of the federal government for the sole benefit of all depositors of the savings de- partment and to say now that the REC must give back it's security and cancel the debt is not an es- pecially appealing proposition to 9 court of equity.
 As result of the higher court ruling, bank and REC officials were to confer upon the liquida- tion plan which will be submitted to the superior court for approval.
 The decision effects also the American Bank & Trust Co.,, which suspended at the same time the Commercial was closed.

New York, Aug. 22--(UP)- Wall street had a little American boom" today when railroad shares got into action and led general recovery that sent the stock ex- change sales total above the mill ions have mark for the first time since August 9.
 Traders and brokers swung into action. The first inkling of rush came in the second hour wheh what shorts there were in the rails suddenly decided to cover,
 For time tickers were two minutes late. Prices rose l to more than points. Then the ac- tivity died down. But prices held, and in the last hour another up- turn occurred with the list mak- ing new highs for the day. Gains were extended until they ranged upward to 5 points.
 There was nothing in the news to harrass the railroad shorts, but persistent rumors the government was evolving a plan to aid the carriers were sufficient to frighten many. Once the rally got started the others followed.
 Best performers in the rails were Union Pacific which reached 1Os up IS; Atchison, Topeka & San ta Fe, 33 up 3, Delaware & Hudson 43 IA up 3 IA; New York, New Haven & Hartford preferred IS 3-4 up 2; Atchison preferred 80 1-2 UT 5: and Pere Marquette IF up 2 New York Central was the cost active in the group, rising more than a point Others were up a point or more.

 One light destroyer and one submarine to the navy yard, Mare Island, Cal.
 Originally, 1t brad been arrang- ed to award contracts for F of the ships to private shipping com panies. However, no concern sub mitted satisfactory bid for a single destroyer, so arrangements were made to have this construct ed by the navy.
 Construction of the ships, Roose- welt said, will start very quickly.
 The navy may under the Lon don naval treaty construct an ad- ditional 78 ships. Authority for their construction was given by congress. but additional funds must be appropriated. Approxj- mately 20 ships a year will be built in the future.
 Today's contracts permitted con truction which will virtually bring the U. s. navy to treaty strength in the largest caeGories, including battleships and cruisers.
 Already, 45 was ships are under construction.

 Relief Rolls

New York. Aug. 22-UP)-
 New York Aug. 22-UP)-With 100000 persons in New York city or one out of seven or relief rolls. business, big and small, is going to have to carry the burden of car ing for the unemployed and their families through the coming win ter. This became evident today when joint committee of the municipal assembly representing all political factions, approved a plan to increase the tax on gross receipts of business from 1-20th of one per cent to one half of one per cent to raise s35,000,00O or more necessary to finance relief. In addition. a reserve plan, involving lotteries every three months, was approved.
 Legislation embodying thes e plans will be submitted at a special meeting of the board of estimate tomorrow and to the board of al- dermen Friday. The present busi- ness tax applies only to businesses crossing S15,00O,00O or more. The new tax would include businesses crossing as low as $5.000 annual ly.
 The lotteries, pet scheme of James J. Lyons. borough president of the Bronx, are designed to yield $12,00O 900 year. Lyons plan. which he believes will come within the laws of New York state. pro- poses the incorporation of a relief corporation. Its officers would be chosen by lot from among holders of tickets which would be sold by the city for $2 or $2.50 each. The officers of the corporation, chosen by lot at a public drawing would receive salaries" corresponding to prize moneys. Forty percent of the receipts would be distributed in salaries or prizes and the rest would go to the city for relief pur- poses.
 A compilation of relief expendi- lures by the welfare council show ed that an all-time peak of $15 . 9l0.327 was reached in Juyl.

Geneva. August 22 - (UP) - A formal resolution was in prepara . ton today pledging the World Jewish Conference to continue with redoubled force the boycott against German goods until German Jews had been reinstated in all their rights as German citizens.
 Dr Samuel Margoshes, New York editor. revealed at the conference that American Jews were organ izing a huge good will" trade far to be held in New York this fall at which goods manufactured throughout the world except in Germany - will be shown to demonstrate that German wares no longer are indispensable.
 Negotiations already are being conducted with the governments and chambers of commerce or Italy, Czechoslovakia, Russia and Switzerland" Margoshes said.
 The resolution pledging contin- uance and intensification of the boycott. was due for passage late today or tomorrow. It was ap- proved in principle unanimously by delegates to the Boycott com mittee of the conference.
