formal daytime attire and none

hand, the pageantry and uni

than lack Of attention to dress.
The advice given by PoloniuS
to Laertes concerning his ap-
parel might well be applied to
attire for the hunting field and

well to remember one swallow

does a pink coat make a fox

Green Mountain Hunt Keeps
SociobiIity As Chief Aim

The first Joint Masters were
Col. William A. Langhorne and
Horatio Small, both Of whom
had hunting sincerely at heart.
Mr.. and Mrs. Small kenneled
the hounds at their place for
some three years.
The writer can remember at
least one delightful Hunt break
fast at Colonel Langhorne'S
beautiful estate, Greenfields,
where practically the entire
community was present, as well
as many other residents Of the
county. This brought together
a great many people interested
in hunting and helped the club
tremendously. Meanwhile, on
the side, Colonel Langhorne was
working with might and main
to see the club well launched.
The Hunt is supported by sub
Scription and there are no dues
of any kind. Our territory is
largely rough and wooded, but
there are many open fields
which give a good chance for a
run.
The most interesting kill we
have ever had was one where
the hound leaped simultaneously
with the fox and they locked
jaws. OF course, the pack soon
disposed of the fox, but the
hound had need of very careful
feeding for some days.
To summarize, the Green
Mountain Club is a thoroughly
democratic organization, de.
signed for the pleasure of its
members, their friends, and the
community at large. The OBJ
ject is the traditional one Of
keeping the fox down but not
making the kill the main objec-
tive, and keeping the riding
open to all.
It is not by any means a show

Of corn-it's all hunting, if he
knows hounds.
Whetl er riding to hunt or
hunting to ride, the next most
important thing to hounds is a
moderate, well7schooled and
clever Inter. Horses are easy
to come by. In fact, any one
who is solvent and has a check
book can buy a horse, but it
takes real knowledge, as well
as money, to buy a hunter.
Having seen most Of the i'm
portant Hunter Shows, over a
period Of many years, can
remember a bare halfdozen
horses exhibited as hunters
that anyone, other than a
potential suicide, would attempt
to really hunt.
This may sound like the
grumblings Of reactionary old
man. It is not. It Is a con-
viction that has been reached
by much experience and gaz-
ing at the ceiling in some very
good hospitals. The most
smashing falls, in my exper-
fence, have come about from,
with, and under the type Of
horse frequently shown as a
qualified hunter"
Those who are fortunate
enough to buy their cattle
young, or breed them and give
them proper schooling, are al
most never confronted with the
problem of securing a safe con-
veyance, but for those whose
experience in the hunting field
is limited, or nil, it is very
great.

All over America great num-

thoughtful, people are riding to
hounds. Many Of them are
without any very clear concep-
ton of what hounds are doing

Green Mountain Hunt was
formed in 1929 and territory ap.
piled for in 1890. The idea Of
forming the club was to organ
ize hunting in this territory,
which consists in large part OF
well-known estates.
The original property, as well
as the agricultural population
and residents Of the towns, could
join on a democratic basis. This
object Is still the main one Of
the club.

its territory granted in 1888. 1t

The original hard workers in
the formation Of the club and
its recognition were Col. William

untiring efforts a good organ

though at first the fields were
small and still are at times, a
great deal Of pleasure was az

After 80 years of intimate association with hounds
and horses certain things concerning fox hunting stand
out to me, the essentials if is to get the most
enjoyment from the sport Many of these essentials,
It seems, the rising generation fails to appreciate,
thereby missing great deal of pleasure.
Many types of men hunt the fox, and for different
reasons. Hunting can be exercise, it can be
social accomplishment it be hunting.
If it is to be the last, it will be a source of un-
ending happiness and leave fire to warm the evening
of life with memories of starlead dawns, and dreamy,

Born in Dublin, Georgia, small
town about so miles southeast Of
Macon, Harvard was left fatherless
at the age of two years. To get
money to rear and educate the boy,
his mother went into dom estic ser
vice first for private families in
Atlanta and later in Detroit.
In the latter city Mrs. Harvard
learned Of the Ford Trade School
and entered Claude when he was
10 years old. During the eight
years since, he has become one of
the Schools outstanding students,
one of small group selected to
represent Mr.. Ford's educational
ideas in Chicago.
Moreover, it is especially signi-
ficant that young Harvard is in

Ford show. This particular section
of the exhibit was assembled UNI

Cooks, Walters Are Better
Organized Than Porters
Board Is Costly


A labor union pays It's own bills
from the monies received from
joining fees, dues and assessments.
Colored workers do not generally
want to pay these. The heart of
the new rail labor law is the sys-
tenn of judgment on grievances in
dispute The judge is the nat1oLal
railroad board Of adjustment, CON
sisting of thirty-six persons, hsif
appointed by the railroads and the
other half chosen by labor unions.
The unions must pay the salar-
les of their half of the board, and
half of the expense Of the national
board headquarters at Chicago.
This is minimum item of $780,
900 a year. Imagine Pullman por-
ters and dining car walters paying
out their share of this amount
steadily, though they are just as
able as brakemen or trackwalkers
My dining car cooks, even dish
washers, would pay, but walters
and porters, never.
If we go in for the national
board, maintainence of the unions
to get the benefit of the law would
be imperative, with no penalty on
the managers for our failure to
perform our duty.

Therefore, unorganized employees

HARLEM PREFERS
GAMES TO
0PERATIC AR|AS.


NEW YORK (By chas. Card
ner) After watching two star
performances fail within six weeks
and both in churches, am thor
ough1y convinced that Harlem on
the whole prefers gin and bridge
parties to black operas and spirit
ual singing by international artists
Of the arr and the muchly-touted

The three or more thousand
members of the popular Salem A.

evening as white people from
Broadway laEded Abbie Mitchell,
featured operate star of the Aeol-
ian Opera Company, singing, Rus
ticana."
The music-lovers who brag a.
bout their love of the art were not
their either, as the whites in large
groups demonstrated the right
kind of respect due an artist.
Where were those who failed to
come out to support the church ef-
fort -even If they can't understand
opera Where was that loudmouth,
music-lover who says he prefers
classics?
Maybe "Rusticana" should have
been sung by a white woman to
the black music lovers before they
could be induced to attend, and
probably Jesus Christ should have
sold tickets as an inducement to
the all-mighty Christians who pray
SO loud they disturb the peace.
