drawl persists after more than half
q century Of speaking Spanish) 'is
that those pigs are too cute to run
on the plains. They just naturally
take to the brush and the mountain
roughs as soon as they hear q hound
open up.
"The only way you can get a boar
in the open Is to shoot him dead
and drag him out behind a horse!"
It seems that the B. A. sports
men. upon verifying this disconcert-
ing habit of the pigs. washed their
hands Of the whole shooting match.
The pigs became the problem of
the local ranchers, problem that
multiplied with the years and the
ntters. The big boars grew Justify
in a favorable, wild environment
and took to killing lambs.
Last lambing season." Senor
Jones said, I'VE tracked q big one
through the snow In hack pasture.
That fellow killed and ate II lambs
between midnight and daylight and
we could tell by his tracks he wss
still hungry and hunting for more!"
Imports Coon Hounds.
Don Juan imports Tennessee coon
hounds to hunt the boars. Ken
lucky fox hounds, he says, are faster
on the trail but they won't take
hold of big boar to bring him to
bay. The Jones have lost many
dogs. OF a pack of eight, six came
back wounded from the last hunt.
"A hound takes a big boar by
the ear" Senor Jones said, land
the boar shakes his head. His ears
are set just right to bring q hounds
throat across his tusks. Then we
need another hound. The big fellow
always comes to bay in thick brush.
When we follow, he won't hesitate
to charge a man on horseback. One
Of them slashed a horse of mine
across the hook and the wound was
months in healing. I've seen them
leap up and try to cut the throat
of horse.
"The trick is to ride in close,
save your fire and shoot when you
know exactly where a bullets 60
ing! Eight or 10 feet is the best
range and don't miss"
The wild boars have multiplied
and ranged far. They time their
raids on lambing fields and poultry
yards so that daylight finds them
far away in the mountains. They
sometimes run for IL hours ahead
Of the hounds. Up until a few
years ago, the ranchers were seri-
ously worried about the new natural
enemy threatening their flocks.
Il doubt if they're increasing
now" said Senor Jones. Tive seen
signs that the boars eat their own
young. For the last few years
they're only averaged about 800

did you ever think Of asking
damages from the men who nber-
ated the wild pigs?"
We'll, my boys and I get a lot
Of sport out Of hunting boars. We
figure It's cheap at 800 lambs a

wild boar that had weighed almost
900 pounds.
"At my age" grinned Senior Jones,
who admits to IS years, "a man
learns to be a mite cautious. With
my boys, now, it's different. They
ride into the brush and get their
pigs on foot. I'm afeerd can't run
fast enough to do that any more!"
Don Juan came to the Argentine
from Northwest Texas when the
fences began to crowd him, and
when he was young enough to live
about 20 hours a day in the saddle.
He got a job driving cattle from
Buenos Aires West across the Pam
pas and through an Andean pass
into Chile on the West Coast. Some
times the round-trip took year.
In Chile he met girl newly ar
rived from Iowa. The two hit 1t off
together and were married after
young Jones got stake OF several
thousand pesoes salted away in his
money belt. The couple came South
In search Of grazing leagues un-
marred by fences.
Imported Own Trees.
The two found what they wanted
In this region, trimmed by the snow
clad Andes and the bright waters
Of Lake Manuel Huapi. They
bought sheep and cattle and ranged
them on government land. Senor
Jones imported his own trees. He
rode for weeks with a bundle Of
seeding poplars tied behind his
saddle. Year after year the pre-
vailing wind whipped all the life
out Of the young poplars. but the
Joneses persisted. They had built
their first cabin from native cedar
dragged of the slopes of the Andes,
and were not to be discouraged by
the reluctance of shade and wind
break trees to thrive in the new
environment. After they got
enough poplars started to stem the
full force of the wind, the new
paintings grew rapidly in the rich
soil. The Jones ranchhouse now
Is surrounded by great trees.
Senior Jones holds the title to his
lands, although they lie within
. great national park. In the early
days, during the border dispute be-
tween Argentina and Chile, Jones
was able to do many favors for
6enor Francisco P. Moreno, who
represented the Argentine on the
Boundary Commission. Senor Mo-
reno later became "the father Of
the national park system" He re-
warded the North American pioneer
by helping to pass special legislation
authorizing him to purchase from
the government the grazing land he
had rented.
The Joneses have flve sons and two
daughters. The family is an active
one. The two girls ride almost as
well as their brothers, although the
youngest Jones boy, called Duke,
has outstripped them all at killing
wild boars. The neighbors predict
that Duke won't live to a ripe old
age. He gets his pig by pulling its
hind feet from under it after the
dogs bring 1t to bay, and Sitting its
throat with Gaucho knife. Some
Of the boars have 6-inch tusks.
Boars Came From Germany.
The boars, just now, are quite q
topic OF conversation at the sur
rounding estancias. They were I'M
ported, about IA years ago, from
the Black Forest of Germany by
some sportsmen from Buenos Aires
who planned to ride them down on
the pampas with lances-like the
daring British -stickers of swank
regiments in India.

Force Vote in House
On Townsend Plan
Considered
Leaders Believe 1t
Would Help ScuttIe
The Movement
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House may get chance to
vote on the Townsend old-age pen
sion plan, it was indicated yester-
day.
House leaders and some members
of the Ways and Means Committee
said they were considering forcing
vote on the plan because they
believed it would accomplish these
two things:
l. Help scuttle the Townsend
movement by showing the people 1t
isn't going to pass, and hence shut
of some of the stream Of dimes and
quarters from the pockets of the
old folks into Townsend Golfers.
2. Put both Democrats and Re-
publicans who have been flirting
with the plan ION the spot"
The Townsend bill calls for a
per cent transactions tax to finance
pensions up to 5000 a month for
persons over 60.
When vote may be reached has
not been decided, since hearings on
the plan and all other proposals
for altering the present social Sc
curity system probably will run
along for several weeks.

Second Of Articles,
The second OF the series of articles
on Gallinger. written by DR.. Albert
j. Sullivan, one of the five chief
resident physicians, who is in charge
OF the general medical ward, de-
clared: 1T was obvious there was
serious delay in examination, dag
nosis and treatment of medical cases
on July l, 1888. Histories and physi-
cal examinations were not COM
pleted, at times, on new admissions,
for two or three days. Cases were
not seen by the visiting staff for
from one to seven days"
With the employment of the
five resident physicians, he added:
Gases are worked up more
promptly, therapy can be instituted
sooner and discharge from the hos
pital speeded up"
However, DR.. Sullivan adopted a
conciliatory attitude toward the Wis
iting physicians from the staf1s Of
the medical schools of George Wash
ington and Georgetown Universities,
when he said:
'The diagnostic and therapeutic
burden of so many seriously i'll peo-
pie is large one and Gallinger owes
great deal to those members Of

Schools who have been 50 generous

F. {. T.. Files Brief
Opposing WINS
Super.Power Plant
Counsel Contends Stoy
Would Enerooch Upon
Administrative Power

Strong resistance to the efforts cs
WLW, the Crosley Corp. radio sta
ton at Cincinnati, to remain on the
air with its super-poWer station after
3 am. Wednesday was indicated in
brief filed yesterday by William j.
Dempsey, general counsel of the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion, with the United States Court
Of Appeals for the District.
The commission counsel, in his
brief, argued that for the court to
grant the Crosley company a stay Of
the commissions order would consti-
tute an unauthorized exercise by the
court of administrative power and
an encroachment of the plainest
kind by the judicial branch on the
executive branch of the Govern
ment.
The case has been one Of the most
bitterly fought before the F. c. c.,
as the Crosley station is the only one
in the country which has super
power license of 100000 watts, which,
however, is on an experimental ba-
sis. Even if the court does not grant
stay order, WLW will remain on
the air on its regular license of So
900 watts. Super-power radio sta
tions have been subject of consid-
cradle study by the commission, and
the Senate, by resolution. has op-
posed grants of power of this size.
Mr.. Dempsey pointed out that
after March / the operation of the
Crosley station on 100000 watts will
be unlawful, not because of the
commission order but because Of
the provisions of the Communica-
tions Act of 1884, which prohibits
the operation of any radio broad
cast transmitter without proper
authorization from the commission.
1t is contended that no effective re-
lief can be granted the Crosley COM
pany without issuance of an au-
thorization to continue operation.
The request for stay, it was fur
ther pointed out, is in substance
request for a mandamus to compel
the commission to issue special
experimental authorization or a re-
quest for the issuance of such an
authorization by the court.
Asserting there is no right Of ap-
peal of commission orders deny
ing extension of experimental per-
mits, the commission brief pointed
out that there is now pending in
the Senate bill to permit appeals
to be taken from commission orders
denying a special temporary au-
thorization

StompIess Mouth in Virqinio
May Be Illegal Liquor Vessel

An individuals mouth may be an
illegal container for liquor just con-
sumed from a properly stamped
bottle, a Lynchburg lawyer contends
in an argument presented to the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.
The attorney claims citizens
would have to put stamps on their
cheeks or other parts of their bodies.
and even on their punch bowls and
drinking glasses, to comply with the
law.
Paul Whitehead, the lawyer, told
the court:
If a man takes a drink of A. B. c.
whisky directly from a properly
stamped bottle, the liquor in his
mouth may be deemed illegally ac-
quired under the code, because the
drinker does not have a Govern
ment stamp on his person"
