buying them to wear with their
first fall dresses. More conserv-

grade velVets to wear with lovely
formal afternoon gowns of vel

vet on the street is not new, in
fact is a revival that is in order
with our other Victorian remi-

WILD CARGO
-By FRANK BUCK.

leave the jungle. except to do
some night prowling, you have
a pretty fair idea Of what a
tough assignment this was.
I got word one day that a
tiger was making regular raids
in the live stock Of the natives
at the Forty-one Mile Post, a
village that many miles north
of Johore Bahru. It was obvious
from the details Of the story
as told me that the animal
had taken up headquarters
somewhere near the edge of the
jungle bordering that primitive
settlement.
Moving Day
We moved our paraphernalia
to this district and set out to
find the tiger. I succeeded in
locating his tracks at several
different points along the
jungle's edge, and as a result
felt we had pretty fair chance
to get the pictures we wanted.
I collected a small array of
beaters and started them into
the woods where the tracks led
us. These boyS-whose job it
is to spread out through the
brush and work toward a
given point, pounding with
STICKS against trees or making
whatever noise they can to drive
the animal that is being sought
out into the open-Wormed
their way through the dense
Jungle as far as they could.
Their progress proved much
slower than I had expected,
and at the end of the first day
they had got only about one
third of the way through. I
might have called them off alto
gether except that toward even
ing we caught a sight of the
tiger 0
So we kept our boys on the
spot and renewed our beating
the next morning. The jungle
got thicker and thicker as we
proceeded, and eventually on
the fourth day, without having
seen the animal again, we
reached a point where further
progress was impossible without
the aid of parangs-and while
I have hacked my way through
many a mile of jungle with the
aid Of one of these big sword
like knives, I knew that this
was too slow a process when
the quarry is a tiger. So I
called off the beaterS. All we
had to show for our trouble
was a fine assortment of cuts
and scr; tches, for this section
of jungle is thick with rattan,
each joint of which has a hook
like thorn \ that doesn't care
how deep it digs into your
flesh.
Enter tn Tiger!
Ironically enough, a day after
we had gathered up our equip
ment and left the Forty.one
Mile Post to try our luck else
where, the tiger came out of his
jungle lair in broad daylight
and made off with a goat that
was tied up within 20 yards of
the spot where our cameras had
been set up. His daylight raid,
was one of those exceptions to
the rules of tigerdCm that
doesn't happen very often and
it was our misfortune not to
have been on hand when it
occurred.
Here we came ON the trail Of

By Beatrice Fairfax

self, and recently he has de-
manded that I stop them.
I don't want to be unfair to
him, for I love him very much.
We have two lovely girls. 1 like
to go somewhere once in a
while, and if I do he gets angry,
although he doesn't express
himself. He will never go with
me. I'm not quite 25, and
you know it's hard to be con-
tented at home all the time,
even with the one you love. We
never quarrel. JANE.
1t seems pretty hard on you,
my dear Jane, not to be able to
indulge in such innocent amuSe-
ment as you tell me of, because
your husband, after being
wild" has now become more
than strict. And I'll agree that
at 25 it's hard to have to stay
in even the happiest of homes
all the time. The fact that you
never quarrel proves you're both
not only sensible, but highly de-
Veloped people: and I hope your
husband will see-if you'll only
give him a little time-the I'M
wisdom of opposing simple and
wholesome pleasures that no
one can be any worse for en-
joying occasionally.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been asked to go for
ride by a boy I've known for
long time, but who has a rep
utation of being a great peter,
and if there's anything I dis
like thoroughly it's that sort Of
promiscuous mauling. I must
say he's always shown me a.
great deal of respect, and when
he takes me home from a
party and asks for a good
night kiss he Just doesn't get it.
If a boy takes me out and
wants to know where ''he gets
off" he's never in doubt after
I tell him. Some people laugh
at me and say I'm destined to
be an old maid. No indeed,
Miss Fairfax, but l want my
life to be sweet and clean, SO
some day I can give my real
love to the man of my choiCL.
Meantime, shall I go out with
the peter. 3. T.
AS the "petter" has always
treated you with respect and
hasn't even been rewarded with
that goodnight kiss, and knows
how you feel about promiScuous
love making, it might be safe
to go with him on what might
be called a trial trip. Usually
boys do not attempt to pet un-
less they feel reasonably con-
fident that there will be little
or no objection. AS for your
platform" of discouraging
promiscuous loVe-making till
the right one comes along
it's fine.

lived in a wheel chair and
wore her beautiful white hair
piled high on top Of her head.
Mr.. Nesbitt had been dead for
many years. Richard, Dora

A made an opening lead Of
the King Of hearts, hoping to
win two tricks in that suit. B
dropped the eight. AS B held
the Queen or no more hearts,
A led back the four Of hearts,
and z trumped the trick.
z led the Ace OF clubs, then
used dummy'S one trump to
ruff a. second lead Of clubs.
Dummy's lowest spade was led.
The Ace won the trick. Then
followed three rounds OF win
wing diamonds, dropping all op-
posing trumps. The 10 Of
spades won the next trick.
When the four Of spades was
led, AS Queen had to fall to
the King, leaving two good
spades in dummy, upon one OF
which z discarded her single
losing club. Then she spread
her hand, claiming her doubled
contract Of a small slam at
diamonds. The real reason
why z wished to be the de-
clarer was her greater skill
than possessed by her partner.
No better reason exists for tax
ing away the play.
Under Suit-Over-Suit proceed
ure bidding would have gone:
z, diamond; Y, 1-Heart: z,
2-Diamonds: Y, 2-Spades: Y, s.
Diamonds; merely to discover
whether her partner was bid
ding long or short suits. Y
would have to bid 3-Hearts, that
z must shift into 3-SpadeS.
When Y bid 4-Spades, Y would
jump into 6-Spades, If she
wished her partner to play the
hand. Unless the hands can
make a small slam at spades,
how can they do so at dia-
monds? In either case the suits
have to drop high opposing
cards, and the long suit in
dummy must prove to be estab-
lishable, to win all except one
trick.
Suppose that Y had to play
the hand at 6.Spades doubled.
Can the contract be defeated?
What will be the opening lead?
Try first a spade lead. That
will at once establish spades.
Y must then win five trump
tricks, six diamond tricks, and
one club trick. or twelve tricks
in all, with play made simple
for the declarer.
Suppose that the opening
lead happens to be a. heart.
ABB will win one trick in that
suit; but what will be the sec
ond lead, when dummy is dis
covered with a single card Of
that suit? If a second heart
is led, dummy will trump. The
Ace of Trumps must be led, fol
lowed by the 10. In case Y
covers the 10. all opposing
trumps must fall with one more
lead of spades. If A refuses to
put up the @, rs Ace Of Clubs
must be led. The declarer will
trump a second lead of clubs.
Then the K of Spades will cap
ture the @, and the hand can be
spread for a small slam.
In case an opening lead OF
clubs is made, the Ace will win
the first trick. Trumps will fall
in three leads, and again the
hand is a spread. The same
small slam is assured in case B
happens to lead a diamond. No
opening lead can defeat small
slam contract either in dis-
mondS or in spades, but spades
is the better make, as it will
score 1SO points, instead of 120
points for diamonds.

Interest in the wild creatures
of the jungle has increased ire
mendously in recent years. 1t

my being commissioned to
head a camera expedition de-
signed to show what happens
from the moment an animal col
lector gets an order for a Speci-
men to the time it winds up in
q cage where the public may
view it.
The scene of my operations
was the Malay Archipelago,
whose jungles are the densest
known to man. Not many peo-
pie have an accurate idea of
what these Asiatic badlands are
like. The public is more IA
miliar with Africa and its open
veldt, which presents fewer
problems, either to the animal
collector or to the motion pic
ture director.
The jungle to which I refer is
q four-tiered affair. First there
is the tangle Of creepers and
grassy growths of all kinds un-
derfoot, combining to make
walking as uncertain a propo-
sition as it can possibly be. with
damp and soggy areas contrib
uting to this uncertainty. The
next layer consists of heavy
Jungle grass that ranges from
Waist-high to neck-high, and
giant ferns that often reach
over ones head. The tier above
this is a ceiling made up OF
trees. medium in height. inter-
woven with countless vines, the
whole matted together in one
great green mass. Then, final
ly, there is the jungle roof, con,
sisting of enormous tropical
trees whose tops interlace so
completely that very little light
can seep through to the ground
below.
His Great Problem
All of which is by way OF ex-
planning my principal problem
in setting out to make motion
picture showing animals in
their jungle haunts. After I
had picked out what I consid-
cred an ideal setting for our
first shots, my associates on the
expedition cried me down in

plentiful rather than in terms
Of sunlight.
A. complete change in the
plans I had in mind was there
fore necessary. The first assign
ment was to get some good
ground shots of a tiger moving
through the jungle, these to be
used in our picture as a sort of
prelude to a series of scenes
showing how one of these
great cats is trapped and
brought back to civilization.
Now that the light problem
had eliminated the photograph
ing of the tiger in his jungle
fastneSs, I was faced by the
task of locating one of the great
striped cats at some point
where camera shots could be
taken in open country, in broad
daylight. When you realize

People with real heart disease
seldom know it, In most in
stances it produces no Symp-
toms.
But the symptoms which PEG
pie interpret as being due to
heart disease are legion.
The skipping heart beat is
one of the commonest. Some
times it takes the form Of the
heart turning over" or stop
ping and then beating very
strongly. The patient can feel
this occur. And I can testify
from personal experience that
it is very alarming. 1t usually
occurs in the middle of the
night, when everything seems
worse. And it has a way OF
occurring after middle age. Wnen
you have a pretty fair SuS-
picion that your heart is not
as good as it used to be.
The sensation of the heart
dropping a beat or turning over
is a fairly accurate suggestion
of exactly what does happen.
The condition technically is
known as extra systoles." Ac-
tually, they are not so much
extra Systoles. or beats, but
premature beats. They indi-
cate a state of irritability on
the part OF the heart muscle:
it throws in an extra beat out
of turn. The long pause and
the strong beats which follow
are what make themselves
known to the patient and scare
him.
The commonest cause of the
extra irritability is tobacco.
but few people over the age OF
40 live very long from that date
without experiencing a prema-
ture heart beat once in a while,
no matter whether they use to-
bacco or not.
The knowledge of the Signifi-
canoe of skipping heart beats
we owe to the work of one OF
the greatest physicians Of the
twentieth century, the late
James Mackenzie. When DR..
Mackenzie started in practice
he tells us that all the heart
consultants regarded these ir-
regular pulses as of very serious
import. They put the patients
that for some time had been
raising the devil with the bull
locks and other domestic live
stock. Our chances in this case
looked much brighter than at
the Forty-one Mile Post, for it
was obvious, both from infor-
nation given lis by the local
natives and from the tracks we
located, that the animal had
quartered itself in a patch of
thin jungle, separate from the
great forest that stretches
through this territory. I felt
confident that our efforts would
be rewarded at last.
