" RST OF TS i Room Under Snow Warmer Than Surface and Canines Are in Good Condition. BY RUSSELL OWEN, (By Redio tc The Star and the New York Times). LITTLE AMERICA, Antartica, Sep- tember 7.—There is & place just west of Comdr. Byrd's camp where from under | the snow come muffied subterranean | sounds as if from a menagerie. There are barks and far-away howls, some-{ times the snarls of animals trying to get at each other. But on the surface there is nothing to indicate that there is an animal within miles, at least there was not until yesterday. ‘The noises come from the dog tun-: nels, which radiate from a big square snow room, where seals are chopped. and yesterday ventilators were opened | in the roof of these tunnels to let in | light and air. ‘The digging necessary to reach the tunnel roofs gave an idea of the big amount of snow which has fallen nnn‘ drifted this Winter, for there was not more than a foot and the snow was ! packed into solid mass that would hold | a heavy weight. Eager for Canine Donnybrook. ‘When the light came in, the dogs, | which for months have lived in these dark caverns during the Winter night, being taken out at intervals for exer- cise, began to bark and howl and jump around in intense excitement. ‘They had not seen light in their cold | quarters for so long that they all wanted to get out and run and resume their| favorite recreation of fighting. If they all_got out together mow there would probably be the bonniest dogs in Donny- | brook that ever was seen and a few of them would never haul another | sledge. There is no more interesting place in camp than these dog tunnels. Dogs have never been kept this way before and the method has been very success- ful. The temperature h: been | many degrees warmer than the surface | temperature and they have kept in good condition, nearly every one of them being heavier than when they started their hibernation. ‘Two or three weeks of exercise when it is = little warmer and they will be in splendid shape for the trall. They are exercised now at intervals when the weather permits, just enough to keep them healthy. Meles Eaien to “Drink” Smow. ! The main entrance to the dog tunnels | is through the “chop house,” as it is called, where until recently the sesls were cut up. It is a big square Toom with a large entrance covered with canvas. The huge seals, averaging more than 500 pounds each, are let down into this Toom, and when they slide thev slide hard. They are as rigid as iron in the intense cold, and it takes all a man’'s strength to cut them up. From this room run the tunnels in which the dogs are chained to boxes sunk in the snow walls. They have eaten big holes in the sides to get drink, for they have no water, and sometimes one will make such a huge hole by eating and digging that in a of rage at being confined he will his erate out of the wall, blocking the passage. Then he is found the next day sitting some distance from his hole, disconsolately wondering where to go next. A glimpse into these holes when they are only flluminated by & lantern held in the hand is like gazing into a bear’s den D-&‘h(') Tnte the Dog Den. Shadowy oreatures, all teeth and | ‘vlaws, leap forward and upward, paw- ing at the air. They look twice as big | and ferocious as they do outdoors. like | ‘wolves that would gladly tear one in two if they had an opportunity. | Back of the first one, seen fairly | well in the lantern light, are others, | only dimly outlined, and there is a rattling of chains and snarling and sharp barks as if & regiment of ferce | dogs were striving to tear themselves loose. And vet one can walk through the | tunnels, patting dogs on the head as | they leap up and rtub their heads inst one. Occasionally & dog wilt nip some one, but not often. ‘They are well trained to leave their | food salone until it is thrown to them also. and a bucket of seal meat can be put down in the tunnel and not a dog will touch it until his share is tossed in front of his box. Then they “wuff” it, and if one can get a piece from a meighbor he will grab it and growl over it with gusto. They are chained just far enough apart so that they cannot fight with serious results, although sometimes a dog will get loose, k a chain as if it were string and walk down the tunnel-looking for trouble. 8o long as a loose dog stays in his own tunnel he is safe, but if he gets in another tunnel with another dog he is apt to have a leg chewed off.

With the exception of a few days after his return from Mexico City, Dr. ‘Waish had . been absent from this country for nearly six months. He was in the Mexican capital for more than eight weeks prior to the settlement of the three-year church controversy ! which he was a perticipant.

While in Europe, Dr. Walsh announced, he formed im- portant correspondence contacts -for the proposed Foreign Service Review, which Georgetown University Is shortly to publish, He is now arranging for the permanent endowment of the re- view, which will deal with international questions and politics, Dr. Walsh was an interested partici- pant in the great religious ceremony in Rome following the signing of the Lateran treaty and described the demon- stration of 300,000 persons who hailed the first pontiff to emecige from the Vatican since the fall of temporal power. He declined to comment, how- ever, on matiers connected with his own mission to Rome. For the Georgetown archives he ob- tained a full collection of the limited series of the first issuance of Vatican postage stamps. This series, he ex- plained, is in great demand by Eu- ropean collectors, To make the collec- tion of Vatican stamps complete for the archives he secured also a collection of the issue of 1871, the last to bear the Vatiean mark before the fall of temporal power. Stamps Are Canceled. The stamps in the Georgetown col- | lection are all canceled, which adds to | heir value, and the letters which bore them were among the first to be sent out through international postal | channels, Dr. Walsh also brought back with him a very rare statue of Joan d@'Are and a valuable collection of hand-col- ored reproductions of old masters ob- tained in Italy and Spain. These will be installed in the new dining hall at the college. For the first time on his many trips io Europe, Dr. Walsh was unable this year to pursue his investigation of. Rus- sian conditions and studies of Soviet Russian relations. Dutles confined him | for the most part in Rome. Prior to the opening of the academic term at Georgetown he expects to con- clude arrangements with the National University of Mexico for two scholar- ships at the Foreign Service School. In previous vears Georgetown main- | tained scholarships for Mexican stu- dents and it is his wish that mu actice be resumed. He made pre- iminary arrangements for them with | the Mexican government on the occa- sion of his visit to Mexico City last Spring. | FINALISTS TEE OFF IN AMATEUR MEET| mbu Match | Between Willing and Johnston.

PIN SWALLOWED BY BABY REMOVED Doctors Use Knife on Jean Hor- . tense Samaha, 3. to Get to Unhooked Object. gt Small Jean Hortense Samaha just. would pick up bright objects and put them in her mouth. Last night she found a 2-inch safety pin while playing in her home, at 735 New Jersey avenue. Her mother caught her in time, how- ever, took the pin and put it in a bureau drawer, then slapped Jean's wrists and sent her to bed. A moment later the mother. fixing Jean's bottle in the kitchen, heard her ery out. Hastening back to the bede ! room she found that Jean, who is only had gotten ouf of bed and recovered the safety pin from the bureau, “I swallowed mother,” sobbed Jean. Dr. J. Li Cardwell was called in, and he in turn sent for Dr. Lewis Taylor. Through a fluoroscope. the doctors saw the pin in the child's stomach, unhooked. They ordered Jean taken to Sibley Hospital, and there, because Jean was so young, decided to cut into the stomach instead of probe for the pin. The operation was successful. Attendants at the hospital this morn- ing informed Mrs. Samaha that Jean | was doing nicely, and probably would | suffer no jll effects from her experience. | Her mother is sure. however, that she - 1= cured of her habit.
