Thrilling Description of Unique
Sport in the Moroccan
Desert.
FOUR GAzELLES ARE BAGGED
Fast Driving Over Stony Plain to Get
Within Range-Great Skill on the
Part of Chauffeurs Necessary
to Handle Cars.

London.-The Morocco correspond
ent or the Times sends a thrilling de-
scription of hunting gazelles by auto
mobile. He writes:
There are four of us. Hadji THANH
Glayis, the Basha of Marrakesh; Kaid
Hammou of the Atlas, Sid Ayadi, Kaid
of Rahamna, and your correspon-
dent.
1t is time to start. There is a car for
each of us four Sportsmen, and at the
invitation of my hosts | take nv seat
beside the chauffeur, with two beauti-
fully dressed black slaves in the back
seat in attendance. The kaids enter
their cars and we set out.
The cultivated lands are quickly left
behind and the great plain of Raham-
ma lies stretching away before US with
the snow peaks of the Atlas bounding
its southern horizon.
kaid Ayadi gives the signal and the
four cars spread out-a few hundred
yards apart-and proceed at a slower
pace, about fifteen miles an hour The
ground is StOne-strewn and rough, and
careful steering is necessary. There are
boulders of every shape and size loose
ly strewn over the plain, and little
channels worn by water, insignificant
enough in themselves, but highly dam
aging to motorcars if not skillfully
Unanswered. Our chauffeurs, three
Frenchmen and an Algerian, are skill
full drivers and accustomed to this
sport of the'"Great Kaids."

Suddenly one of the slaves in nv

see a herd of gazelle bounding over
the plain. My car is on the extreme
left of the line and our object Is to
head off the herd from the more stony
ground and turn them to the right.

down again to manipulate some awk-
ward spot. The gazelle are out of
range, for it is only with a shotgun
loaded with solid bullet or buckshot
that they can be got. To shoot with a

is too much to ask or expect. There
are less stones now and we are making
Roadway.
Inc three cars on my right keep a
niue IN the rear, in order to facilitate
my turning movement, but they too are
making good pace. At times, for a few
minutes, we are travelling at over forty
miles an hour, and once or twice the
gazelle are almost within range: then
some little watercourse or some extra
stony patch gives them their chance
and they increase the distance again.
At length our course seems clear and
the car bounds forward The pace is
splendid but rather terrifying. Half
standing, half kneeling on the seat, I
wait to get my chance of a shot. then
suddenly the car swerves in a way thar
nearly throws me out-and stops. A
yard or two ahead is a dry water
course, meter wide perhaps. and half
a meter deep and full of boulders an
impossible barrier-or rather a barrier
the passing of which necessitates a
search for practical passage, and al
lows the escape Of the gazelle, whose
course toward the stony ground is
now easy. A few minutes later we see
them appear on the outline of low
hill. bounding over the rocks.
f 1t was not long before fresh herds
were put up, but always breaking
away to the left they succeeded in
reaching the low stony slopes that
form the northern boundary of the
Rahamna plain. At a signal from
Kaid Ayadi we turn southwark to seek
more advantageous ground. and emerg-
ing from the stones our cars roll

Fein jury decided that the engaged
man should be allowed to divide the
farm, but that his brother should have
the right to select the division he
wanted.
A man who stole something from a
farmer was sentenced to work 80 DAYS
for the farmer and return the article.
Another who stole set of harness
was paraded through the village
streets with the harness tied about
him, then taken to the owner and
made to apologize as he returned the
harness.

speed the cars rush forward. The
speedometer of my car marks 40 miles
an hour, but we are not gaining on the
gazelle, who appear easily to keep
their distance of four or five hundred
yards ahead of us. At another sig.
nal we increase the pace to SO miles
an hour. The plain is level, but there
are stones and little undulations and
many small watercourses, merely little
declivities in the surface, but none the
less exciting to pass over, and the
exhilaration is intense.
Four Killed, One Taken Alive.
1t is wonderful driving on the part
of the chauffeurs, and the cars sway
from side to side, and rise and fall,
like boats in a rough sea. We are
closing upon the herd now, and it
looks as though it will be my car that
will be the first to come up with them,
but suddenly they turn aside to the
right, and pass down the line of ad-
vancing cars.
The Basha of Marrakesh's 1.-THE fig
ure is clearly visible as he stands in
his swaying car. The gazelle pass
him, and with right and left he brings
down two-beautiful shooting. Kaid
Hammous car is the next, and lie, too,
shoots his two gazelle. Once more
the herd swerves, and passing be-
tween tie cars, breaks back to the
rear and is allowed to escape without
further molestation-all but one, a
young doe, who paralyzed with fear,
stands motiOnless, and is easily cap
tured alive and unhurt, to be carefully
conveyed back to Marrakesh to be-
come pet in the basha's house.
1t may be argued that this class of
hunting is not sport, that the gazelle
have no chance of escape, but it is
not so. The risk is great, an accident
may occur at any moment, and the
gazelle a good chance Of the many
herds we saw the four gazelle shot
and the one. taken alive were our
whole bag, though we covered 100
miles of distance on the plain alone,
without counting our ride to and from
Marrakesh. The handling of the cars
requires the greatest skill, and the
shooting is by no means easy. To hit
a running gazelle from a motor car
travelling at the rate of so miles an
hour over rough ground needs no lit
tie skill.

OXYGEN FOR GAS VICTIMS
Chamber is Equipped in Hospital at
London to Give Special
Treatment.

London.-An oxygen chamber has
been completed at Guys hospital at
a cost of $4,000.
1t is an alright chamber of glass
framed in teak, measuring 20 feet
square and tx feet high.
1t will be used principally for the
cure of men gassed in the war. The
treatment devised by Prof Joseph
Bancroft of Cambridge university and
DR.. G. H. Hunt of Guys hospital is
still in the experimental stage. but
doctors are hopeful of good results.
Men who have been gassed and
suffer from difficulty of breathing
show great improvement after lying
in the chamber for five days or more
and breathing oxygen continuously.
The chamber will contain three beds.
and each patient will breathe s cents
worth of oxygen a day.

] must confess that l read with a great deal of surprise Gov
ernor Larrazolos announcement Of his candidacy for the republic
can nomination for governor on a distinctly progressive platform.
The surprise is due to what appears TO be a rather sudden change
Of front on the governors part on the question Of direct primary
law, as l have before me a letter written TO me ON January ., 1920,
by the governor, from which l quote as follows;
"As to the submission of the question of a direct pi-
mary law, I must speak TO you with absolute franlnoss
and candor. I shall not submit such a proposition, be-
cause. !. I am absolutely opposed to such a law, TO the
extent that II the legislature were to pass H. they would
have 10 pass II over my veto. The reasons why I am OPP
posed 10 such q law win hardly bear discussion now,
space and time at my disposal preventing It. Enough to
say that many Of the states that now have the primary
law, would be very glad TO get rid of II, If they knew how"
II appears to me that the governor is somewhat OF a political
weather vane, ready to turn whichever way the political wind
blows. He can be a reactionary one day and a progressive the next.
There was a time, not so many years ago, when he ran for con-
gress twice on the democratic ticket, when he very ardently cs-
poused the democratic doctrines, Later he Topped" to the repub-
lcan side and became Just as ardent a reactionary. May it not be
possible that he may change again when the wind blows'n another
