ANTA MONICA, CALIF.—
In Englond it hus been de­
cided that fox-hunting is hu­
mane. This opinion err.unutes
from the hunters. The foxes
have not been heurd from on
the subject.
S
M aybe you d o n 't know it, but
there's a lot of fox-hunting among
us, especially down
south. Being but a
lot of stubborn non­
conform ists, south­
erners do not follow
the h is to ric rules. A
p a rty a t large w ear­
ing
a red coat,
w hite panties and
high boots would be
m istaken fo r a re f­
ugee fro m a circu s
band. And anybody
blow ing a horn as
he gulloped across
h ill and dale would be set down as
an insane fish p eddler; and if you
shouted “ View, halloo! T a n tiv y ,
ta n tiv y ! Yolcks, y o ic k s !" or w ords
to that effect, they’d th in k you w ere
a new kind of hog-caller.
Down there th ey've chased the
fox u n til he’s wise. The foxes have
learned th a t the hounds c a n 't fo l­
low tr a il on a paved highw uy and
so q u it the th icke t fo r the concrete
when the chase is on. A fox has
been s ittin g in the m id d le o f the big
road listening to the bew ildered
pack.
On second thought m aybe B re r
Fox isn’t so sm a rt, a fte r a ll—not
w ith autom obile tra ffic w hat it is.
’Tis a hard choice.
