SLAYS LION WITH HATCHET.
One Arab Boy Let Beast Chew Arm
While Another Hit Her.

Mai. Roach in the National Geographic Mag
azine
The Furiowi Arabs. dwelling along
the southeastern border of the Sa-
hara, may have many failings, but
lack of courage cannot be counted
among them.
One morning an oldish man walked
into my office and said that a lion
and a !ioriess were molesting the
peace Of his village. about fifteen
miles away. He wished me to come
and destroy the beasts. / promised
to go the following day, but unfortu-
nately the investigation of a case of
murder occupied by attention and I
The day after the old man came be-
fore me, dangling at the end of a
piece Of rope what first thought was
a skin Of honey, but second glance
showed 1t was the head Of the lion
ess. He told story which I corrobo-
to the village to dress the wounds
of the chief actors.
Three boys about fifteen or six
teen years old-no Arab knows his
exact age, but calculates by the time
Of some striking incident-wento out to
their field, each carrying a small
throwing spear, and they saw the
lion and his mate under a bush. The
first lad threw his spear and missed,
and the quarry bounded of under an
spear and also missed. A third spear
hurtled through the air from the
arm of the youngest lad and struck
the lioness in the side. She immediate
ly turned. and. with one spring, seiz-
ed the thrower round the shoulders
threw him to the ground, and began
gnawing at his neck.
One OF the boys took or the long
garment he was wearing. bound 1t
swiftly around his arm, and, grasping
the animals left ear with his left
hand, drove his right arm down her
throat. AS her teeth closed on his
arm the third Arab picked up his
small hatchet and rained blows on
the head of the lioness until she fell
dead at their feet.
The boys soon recovered from their
wounds, and for weeks afterward all
pieces of lion meat in their hair as a
tribute to the prowess Of the young
men.

AS we had been walking back to
the bank l asked him if he thought
any of the cars parked at the curb
were there when he left his car. He
tried to recall. and finally concluded
that the new limousine standing
across the street was there when he
drove up. Fortunately there was a
chauffeur at the wheel. 1 went over
and quizzed him.
Sure" he replied, 'I saw that car.
THE guy seemed to be in a hurry to
get away. Didn't shift gears well"
Which way did he go?" Smith
asked.
Straight ahead" was the answer.
THAT won't help any" I interrupt
cd. He could turn in any one of sew
eral directions at the next corner, and
beyond that he could change his di-
rection of flight again. Can you give
us brief description of the driver?"
Sure" said the chauffeur.
He did, too. And while he talked I
made a careful note:of everything.
Now" I said to Smith, we've got
something to work on. Find the man
and the rest is easy. Remember that
it's simple enough to hide a car, but
a. thief walks into his trap sooner or
later. A full description of him in
the hands of the police is the best
trap you can set"

+. It is believed by the authorities In
the War Department that by the time
the summer training season begins
the strength of the regular estab-
lishment will be approximately 49,
600 enlisted men. At present the
strength of the Regular Army is
about 111.500 men. More recruits
were obtained last month than at any
other period since recruiting was re-
sumed, in September, 1921, after the
Army was cut down to 10000 men.
In rosnd numbers. the War Depart
ment accepted $500 men during jan
uary of 1924, which Is an increase Of
about 1000 men over the recruiting
returns for the preceding month.
For several months the third corps
area has led in recruiting. Col. ]. p
O'Neil is recruiting officer for this
corps area At present the cavalry
air service and quartermaster CORPS
are up to their authorized strength,
while the remainder of the services
are still little below their pre-
scribed strength figures. Indicative
of the Improvement which has been
made in recruiting Is clearly borne
out by the fact that $500 more men
were enlisted last. month than were
obtained by the War Department In
January of 1923. The following is a
