8 stranded persons aided to their

of prisoners by police investigated;
cases of discrimination against COL
ored persons investigated of which
7 were adjusted and two are to be

lack of finance handicaps the or

bership is necessary. He said MANY
of the well-known and prominent
colored citizens are not members of
the N.A.AC.P. They expect the or
ganization to carry on for the pro-
lection of our civil rights and priv
ileges in the community, yet they

This is going to be another
fur jacket year. The popularity
of jackets last winter was just
a start on what they will do this
year, and there will be many
more types and varieties, rang
ing all the way from a tiny
sleeveless bolero of fur that
comes with dress, to substan-
tial jackets that take the place
of a coat. And many of these
jackets will come as part of a
suit, practical because you can
wear them with other things,
and very inexpensive. They are
splendid for school, business,
and general town wear. They
may be of any fur you want,
though few of them are of finer
furs, as they are usually con-
Sidered an extra costume, to add
variety to your wardrobe.
Jackets are Fitted
Some suits have fingertip or
wrist length jackets, somewhat
fitted to conform to the vogue
for definite waistlines, and Of
ten with cunning little standing
collars that give them an Ed
wardian or Victorian look. They
may be the accompaniment of a
dress or q separate skirt, but
seem more popular with a skirt.
They often come in three or four
piece ensembles, with sweater,
scarf, hat making up the other
pieces. Lapin is a favorite fur,
as it was last year, and good
colorS are black, nutria, parch-
ment, and a medium "blue fox"
brown. Skirts are of monotone
tweed, or if the jacket is with a
dress, it is usually one of the
new sheer woods.
Lapin and Tweed
The jacket sketched is part of
a four-piece suit, skirt, hat, scarf
and jacket. 1t comes in black
lapin with wine tweed, the plaid
of the scarf in harmonizing
tones. in nutria lapin with brown
tweed, or parchment lapin with
green tweed. The fitted lines
of the jacket are attractive, and
you can easily imagine how
well it would look with other
costumes. All four pieces are

The boy came back with a

Your Health
And Diet
BY LOGAN GLENDENING,M.D.

ny AOUAEN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Early one morning a few
years ago a man called me on
the telephone and said he want
ed consultation with me at
the earliest possible moment.
He was in great mental an
guish. He apologized for hav-
ing called me so early in the
morning. but said he had lain
awake all night, waiting for
the earliest opportunity to call
me. He assured me that he
wanted to know the truth, and
that I need feel no fear that
he would not be able to bear
1t. He had made all his plans
during the night and simply
wanted to know how long he
had left to make his arrange
mentS.
He did not want me to say
anything to his wife or other
members of his family. He had
not told his wife anything
about his SYMPTOMS. This un-
selflShneSS was typical of him.
He had worked hard and un-
complainingly all his life, bear
ing heavy domestic and busi-
ness responsibilities. There was
no trace of hysteria in his
makeup.
When I managed to get him
OF the subject of his impend-
ing demise and asked about the
cause of the mental condition
he was in, I found that a few
days before he had had a pain
in the region of what he
thought was his heart. He had
it after dinner while attending
the movie. 1t hadn't bothered
him much, until the night be-
fore, when he felt his heart
turn over. It turned over sew
eral times and then he began
to worry about his heart and
the pain came back. Then his
heart turned over again and he
knew he was a goner.
On examination there was
nothing the matter with his
heart at all. 1t was not en-
larged and it had no murmurs.
His pulse did skip a beat every
little while, but this is very
common in middle-aged people,
especially when they are ex-
cited or nervous. His blood
pressure and kidneys were very
good for his age. The fact that
the pain came on while he was
sitting quietly would indicate
that it was not the dreaded
angina pectoris.
I was very happy to be able
to assure him that he need
make no final plans, or at least
that he had 20 or 80 years in
which to complete them.
A great many people make
themselves perfectly miserable
just in the way this friend
and patient of mine did.

Marjorie Bemis sent out
cards for a tea at the Hotel
Oakland.
Val hadn't seen much of Mar
jorie since she started work.
But she knew what was going
to happen. Marjorie was going
to announce her engagement to
Frank.
Marjorie did.
After. that there we're more teas.
Another girl, Dora Chalanger,
announced hers.
To ease her heart Val wrote
about Lester to Joe: 1t was a
glowing description of a per-
fectly wonderful man whom she
saw very seldom but thought
about a great deal.
Joe got the wrong idea, wrote
her an almost congratulatory
letter. She tore it into ShredS,
her cheeks burning miserably.
Would she ever stop making be-
lieve? Would she always be a
fraud?
The next day she met Lester
as she was hurrying for a street
car home. He held her hand
longer than necessary. No mis-
taking his interest, and she
didn't even try to hide hers.

how much she had wanted to

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of IS, and I've
never had a date. I live on a
farm and have no near neigh
bors, and 1 hear other girls of
my age talking of what good
times they have. My sister is
18 and has a date every Sun
day. You cannot imagine how
lonesome I get.
A boy has asked me for a date
and told him he might come;
but, oh! I don't know what to
do! I haven't asked my mother
and I am afraid. What must
I do? And how must I ask her?

right, even if I am young?

Tell your mother, by all
means, that you and your sister
have a joint date. Then if
mama says no, positively, you
can phone or write the young
man some excuse. And don't
you think, my dear, that is is
pretty young to demand dates
and get blue because you can't
have them?

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX

N1xkAG EN- + At L i" OLA
Selecting about two acres at
the edge of the jungle, where
the forest was thin enough to
allow the sun to penetrate be-
tween the trees, I brought 80
Chinese carpenters up from
Singapore and built all around
this area a framework of logs
and planks 16 feet high, with
o sort of catwalk along the
top. Then I made a trip into
Singapore and bought CORFU
gated iron sheets enough to
line the entire enclosure.
When the work was COM
pleted, we had a structure as
efficient for it's purpose as it
was incongruouS in its wild
Jungle surroundings "a solid
wall of sheet iron, 16 feet high,
so smooth on the inside that
no joint protruded where a
tiger could get a foothold to
jump Or climb over. This fence
encircled about two acres of as
picturesque jungle as I have
ever seen. A small trap door
was arranged in one side, so
that a cage could be pushed
up against the outside, the
gate raised by a pulley, and
the tiger permitted to walk in
and feel perfectly at home in
surroundings to which he was
accustomed. Any number Of
cameras could operate from the
catwalk on top of the fence.
Traps Big Cat
Within a week we had
trapped one of the big cats,
about 10 miles away from our
improvised compound. It was
a particularly fine specimen, a
big male measuring nearly 10
feet in length from nose to
tip Of tail, in the very prime
Of life-just the ideal animal
for our purpose. Having pho
tographed the trapping episode
and also that of getting the big
cat out of the trap and haul
ing him by bullock cart down
through the jungle trails to our
headquarters, we placed the
huge log crate against the trap
door, raised the gate and gave
him his restricted freedom.
The center of our enclosure
comprised about an acre, more
or less. of heavy brush, cane
and crepers as thick and i'm.
penetrable as any of the jungle
outside. Surrounding this with

lighter areas, including a good
sized grass plot entirely open to

and other settings deemed ap-

My hunch was that on being
released the tiger would make
for the heavy brush but that he
would soon come out and
wander about, drinking water

we could get some splendid pic.

When Manners
Are Correct

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
met a young man about a
month ago, who was visiting in
this city. The night before he
left he took a trinket of mine
for friendship. He has been
gone a month and I have not
heard from him. Should I
write and ask him to return
the trinket or let him return it
of his own accord?
A CONSTANT READER.
If you think that he will re-
turn it of his own accord, I
suggest that you wait for him
to do this. But evidently you
have doubt about this, and if
your doubts are real, and if you
really wish to have the trinket
returned, then there is no re-
course but to write a note.

Still in my ears a note OF

I only know that sometimes in

There dawns a smiling sea-

When gladneSS journeys with
me, when Earth's ways
Are painted from the palette

And these bright hours so brim

Once more down paths but

Stops Loving Them When
They Respond

ONOPS Loving AACu WHICH
They Respond
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a young man of 81,
have been in love several times,
engaged twice, and am still a
bachelor. When I tell you the
reason you'll probaly toss my
letter in, the scrap basket, and
really I've no excuse to offer.
Perhaps I'm off from the regu-
lation type, but here's my
story. I fall in love rather
easily. I'm susceptible, in fact.
But when a girl begins to fall
in love with me, I lose interest
in her. It was difficult for me
to break with one of the girls
to whom I was engaged. She
cared a good deal, and thought
everything would come out
right if we married, but I just
couldn't go. through with it.
Why. in your opinion. do I lose
interest in girls, when they
become interested in me?
DONALD K.
You haven't really fallen gen.
uinely in love yet, my dear
young man. You're the type
which has been described as
"honey slipping at every flower"
and you're still seeking the
perfect flower. But do restrain
yourself from going to the ex-
tent Of becoming engaged. 1t
is cruel in the extreme to break
an engagement, particularly
