are scarce. The other kind are

Meeting another man later I was
interested to hear much the same
remark He said, There are too
many spot-lighters, too many men
who hunt ~ months a year. Back
in the woods where I have worked
their shots can be heard all through
the night. Both these men admitted
It IS practically impossible for
game warden or two to properly
patrol the mountains Of Lincoln
county and enforce the laws.
l wonder if the game is really
becoming scarce because of illegal
hunting. Everyone knows we have
long had the spot-lighters with us.
What IS the answer? Can anyone
suggest something that will result
IN a better spirit and a better com
pliance with the game laws?
No one is quite so big fool as
the white man in destruction of
game resources. The pioneer comes !

coed to slaughter it until it becomes
almost extinct. Then he has to
pursue the long and costly program
Of restoring it.

Il has long been conceded, under
our American two-party system.
that it IS the unquestiOned duty of
the minority party to criticize any
policy of the majority that it con
siders dangerous. If this were not
so, the party in power would have
a strong temptation to propose any
fantastic measure that might win
them votes. or to follow anything
that might be proposed by starry
eyed zealots or feather-brained
demagogues. In other words, criti-
cism by the minority provides one
of those checks on unsound Iegis-

Mediterranean Tunnel
Survey Work Resumed

MADRID, June Il (NANAt.-'
Survey work has been resumed on
the 52-year-old project of q Med
iterranean tunnel connecting
Europe with Africa under Gibral-
tar. The undertaking would CON-
plement the recently resumed
Cape-to-Cairo railroad (which
also lay dormant for q couple OF
score years to link Southernmost
Africa and Northernmost Europe
by a strategic supply line free
from submarine menace.
The idea of such a tunnel, first
broached in 1897. was incorporat-
ed in a preliminary Angro-Span-
ish agreement in 1927. The gov
ernment Of Gen. Prima de Rivera,
who then led the military junta
ruling Spain. also concluded ar
rangements with France. Italy
and Portugal-whose assent was
needed as governing members OF
the international territory of
Tangier, where the tunnel would
come out. II was to start at
Valdevaqueros in Spain.
Seismographic studies are being
carried out by engineers under
Galeano de Gorba. Dynamite is
dropped into bores drilled by
Spanish Engineers to depths of
about 1900 feet when the tunnel
project was first being tested, and
are then exploded. The vibrations
measured on seismographs permit
engineers to plot rock through
which the tunnel should be drilled.
Although the Strait OF Gibraltar
is only 9ha miles long. the planned
tunnel will be II miles long and
nearly 500 yards wide.

This amount has been scaled down
