The islands are roughly divided in- to two groups, the Outer and Inner Hcbrides, separated by the Nlinch and the Little Minch, wide channels of water, from each other The sep aration, however, is geological as well as geographical. The Outer HebrideS have foundation of gniess, granite-ike rock, while the Inner IIebridcS, or at least the more northerly of them. lie on trap rock. In popular parlance, the two groups are often referred to as tho Western Islands

Some of the islands arc low and rolling, lonely moorlands carpeted with rock-strewn grass Nearly all are pierced with wild and romantic arms of the sea, such as Ire found elsewhere along the Scottish coast.
 Although the islands have a com bined area of GAO square miles, about one-quarter of that of the state of Delaware, only about one ninth of this area is under cultiva- ton, Only fifth Of the 300 odd islands that comprise the archipel- ago are inhabited.

Merchants hotel, received injuries
yesterday morning which may
prove fatal. Hooper was taken to
the county hospital, then transferred
i'm the afternoon 10 the naval hos
pital where his condition last night
was admitted to be grave. His skull
is believed to be fractured.
KS far as police are able to ascer-
tain from conflicting stories, Hooper
was riding with John 'StGtSon of
ll36 Court street, Los Angeles, when
the accident occurred at the inter
section of India and Grape streets.
John Kane, detective sergeant, ques-
toned Stetson shortly after the accl-
dent and according to Stetson ;
story, "hit and run truck driver
was responsible for the accident.
Stetson told Kane he was driving
south ON India street following
large truck. When the truck reach
cd the intersection OF Grape and In
dia streets, the driver made a left
turn, according to 'Stetsou : report,
without making Il signal.
To avoid hitting the truck, Stet-
son swung sharply to the left and
in 50 doing turned his Ford over.
There was no collision however, and
the truck did nto stop, Stctson is
said to have aftcrWard declared.
Arthur Hill police captain, said the
truck driver was apparently in no
way to blame for the accident and
instead of driving away, actually
helped care for the injured man.
