 Thousands of Children are Starving

Not starving for food-mind you for of that they get plenty--but simply starving for the want of vitamines that their entire being is eagerly craving for.

WILD BEASTS HER
 JUNGLE NEIGHB0RS
Mrs, Seton Tells About Her
 Adventures in India

Her trip on foot into the junges of Ccylon In search of a. rogue" or killer" elephant was one Of the thrilling adventures graphically de- seiibed by Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton of Greenwich in her talk on Experiences in outdoor India" at Inc south Congregational church last evening, the lecture being under he auspices Of the New Britain College club. No woman had ever slain rogue pachylcrm, and this particular beast had Killed 1S-mcfi und hSd price of 10000 rupees on its head. so Mrs, Seton was doubly ured. During the day she sighted all manner of animals and birds and one dangerous mother elephant with its young, but nc trace was found of the killer and the party was forced 10 turn back at dark. Mrs. Seton accused the rogue of hearing of her search. flor she said that the travelled $ miles Il night and was beyond neT TedEn III .tne HloiHilib.
 The jungle so swarmed with rep tiles and beasts that path 40 feet wide was cut through it to prevent travellers from being ambushed, but even then Mrs. Seton had narrow escape with a snake, which the na- tives refused to kill because there are so many more." She spent one night in a house where leopards had killed two men and where the floor was so covered with ants that she had to take her boots to bed with her.
 While watching private perform ance by snake charmer, she say a man bitten so badly that he later died, while she herself escaped similar fate by only two inches when the cobra sprang at her as she was taking a photograph of it. At an other time she was lost in the jungle among 21 kinds of animals which might have killed her, while terri ic electrical storm ragged. This so exhausted her that when she finally reached home and the storm in- creased to a. cyclone, tearing the roof from the house, she was not awakened.
 America can do nothing for In- dia, but India can do much for America" she quoted Mahatma Gan. dhi, the noted Indian nationalist, as saying to her. Gandhi's belief is that America, in becoming so perfect mechanically, has lost much of its spirituality. She met Gandhi twice and described him as "noshing but a pair of eyes," saying that there was a real reason for calling him ma hatma" or master"
 She described a Parsee burying ground, where the bodies are left ex- sposed to sun, wind, and vultures, saying that there was really beau- tiful meaning to this seemingly dis gusting practice. Other adventures related by the many-sided Mrs. seton included a ride on agrunaway elephant, receptions by the viceroy, of India and by maharajah who was a confirmed woman hater" but fell q victim to her personality, and the search for tiger. She explain ed that she really did not want to kill the tiger, but only to see if she could do the same with the big cat as she once had done with a bear, meeting its eyes squarely and melt ing It's ferocty into respectful good nature and camaraderie.
 Her talk was illustrated with series of unusual stereopticon slides, many of them showing Mrs. Seton herself at the scenes of the adven- lures described by her.

When the Fuzzy Wuzzies
"Crumpled Up the Square

1t was at the battle of Tamai in the
Sudan, on March 10, 1884, that the
Fuzzy Wuzzles broke the British
square" The tribesmen, utterly reck-
less of death, charged an angle OF the
square in the face of what seemed
an annihilating fire. They threw them
selves on the bayonets, and used their
spears in the death agony before the
bayonets could be withdrawn. They
came over the bodies of their own
dead, and crawling on hands and
knees, under the muzzles Of the guns,
they gained the inside of the square,
and stabbed and slashed until one bri-
gade gave way in confusion, and its
guns were captured The other bri-
gades closed In, the guns were re-
taken, and the Fuzzies were chased
far past the scene Of this momentary
triumph, but they had "crumpled up
the square," and the exploit caught
the British imagination and put Fuzzy
Wuzzy into English literature. The
Puzzles themselves belonged to the
HadendOwa tribe and were command
ed by osman Digna, although the lat
ter generally kept himself in a place
Of safety during the fighting. The
Fuzzies got their name owing to the
peculiar manner in which they wore
their hair. The Black Watch formed
part of the square" and fought with
the utmost bravery during the whole
of the campaign against the Mahdl.

Sudan Not the Barren

Sudan Is a big country with varied

other vast territories within the An

bined, and a population Of less than
half million-as a forested land Of
many scenic attractions The country
as seen on a 100-mile motor-car tour
resembles some wooded park at
home"
THE spiced gum trees, the wood
cutters clearances, the black patches
where underground has been burned,
all combine to give the impression,
and the red sand Of the road height
ems the resemblance to such an extent
that at every turn one quite expects
to see the manse or country seat in
the distance.

NAL and bird life that exists in what
is, after all. at this time of year a wa

Scientific Future Lope

The matrimonial reports of our day
are undertaking to put love on sound,
scientific basis. Let us skip a few
hundred years and behold the synthet-
&c romance Of u youth and a maid of
some generations to come. The young
man, armed with stethoscOpe, tape
measure and the means of making a
blood test, goes to call upon the lady
whose charms have attracted him. He
taps a vein. listens to the thump of
her heart and to the wind whistling
through her bronchial tubes and ends
his labors with a careful examination
of the soles of her feet. Satisfied with
the showing he makes a request for
a kiss and obtains one, duly hygienized
through a strainer whipped from a
vanity bag. That is, he does unless
the young woman wallops him instead.

Women GiUe Up Before
Little Things of Life?

Men smash ard fall under big mis-
fortune, loss of health or financial dis
aster. Most women who fail, fail just
because the little things of life have
defeated them.
Lady Diana Dun Cooper wrote an
article on this subject. She called 1t
when Women Fail!"
In 1t she said: when the woman
who fails confesses that after years
of half-hearted struggle she at last
reached her opportunity but lacked the
motive power to seize 1t, she spoke the
bitter truth Of many failures. 9.
How many women fly off from study,
concentration or rest just to run out
to tea or weekend yet
they expect that weathercock success
to register a steady wind"
And there, all in a nutshell, you
have 1.-THE reason why women fall,
observes the Philadelphia Record.
As far as "half-hearted struggles"
go there is very little to be said. Com
petition is too keen, every path in life
too crowded for half-hearted efforts to
succeed. Whatever your line may be,
your wish to succeed must be ardent.
You must wish 1t with your soul, your
heart, your mind. The lukewarm new
er succeeded and we even have bib
llcal authority that rather than that
it's best to be frankly cold
So make up your mind to be one
thing or the other-to be as keen as
mustard or else TO make no attempt.
But what about the women who are
as keen as mustard and who yet fall
through trifng petty distractionsf
Their only hope is to develop a Will
like iron and heart Of stone.
