 Brown Carlson, trappar and trader in the Lake Clark area in the Iliamna district, recently made his first visit to a town 90 large as Seward in 31 years, spending a few weeks there and then going by plane back home, His ride on the Alaska Railroad was his first train ride in nearly 50 years. He enjoyed his first automobile and first airplane ride, and his first talking picture.
 More than 300 dogs along the Yukon River in Interior Alaska have died of strange malady that first paralyzes their hind legs. Sled annals have become so scarce that any sort of pooch with hair on and more than three legs has p1<ce on his head. The epidemic is said be similar to that which ragged at Nome 25 years ago when several hundred dogs suc- cllmbed.

I accepted the order with mis-
givings. Whenever I am asked
to bring to this country an
animal that has never been
seen on our shores my first re-
action is, Thanks for the COM
pliment." My second is one
in which my pleasure over the
faith displayed in my ability
to deliver the goods is suddenly
submerged in a sea of doubts.
It is not that I lack conf
dence but that l am keenly
aware of the difficulties at
tendant upon securing and de-
livering-alive-a little-known
species.
Before leaving Singapore, my
Asiatic headquarters, for Ce-
lebes I thought it wouldn't be
a bad idea to determine just
where on this big island (which
is over 300 miles long and
almost as wide at its widest
point) the anoa made his
home. Not until I started max
ing my inquiries did I realize
how little is known-even
among the animal traders Of
Malaya-about these curious.
freaks. The first three men
I consulted real experts who
had dealt in animals all their
lives-all agreed that the anoa
was to be found only in Ce-
lebeS, but each named a diff
ferent part Of the island as the
creatures grazing ground. The
fourth, who, it developed, knew
nothing at all about the spe-
cies, thought it best to give
any old answer instead Of none
and advised me to try Borneo.
A Simple Method
I resorted to a very old and
simple method. On the way to
Java, my first stop en- route
to Macassar, the principal port
of Celebes. I made inquiries of
everyone who looked Sociable
in an effort to find a person
who could give me some reli-
able information. These in
quirieS yielded nothing.
However, on the way from
Surabaya, Java, to MacaSSar I
learned from a Eurasian ship
steward that there was a Dutch
resident on the west coast Of
Celebes who, while travelling on
the same boat, had mentioned
q strange little animal-a sort
Of dwarf buffalo-that was to
be found in his district. Every
one thought that this was an
animal the Dutch resident had
seen N his cups, an there
had been lAuch- joking about
it. The more irreverent pas

de-lis buckle. .r
White is Smartest
These two suits confirm our
earlier prophecy that the two
most important things about
suits for this summer would be
their interesting and different
weaves, or stitches, and the
fact that so many of them
would be white. Bright colors
rival white, though, and there
are many stunning things you
can do with colored accessories,
cap, shoes and belt. Either
wear vivid accessories with your
white suit, or vice-versa. Or If
you're more conservative, the
rule of black and white, navy
and white, and brown and
write is just as smart in the
water as it is on land.

About this time last year we
showed the bathing suit Of the
hour, the imitation hand-knit
suit designed by Schiaparelli,
and sold in Washington. It
was enormously popular, and
was bought by many Of the
smartest women here. OF course
the original was hand-knit, but
American machines copied it so
closely that you'd scarcely know
the difference. Elsa Schia-
parelli, as you probably know,
an italian girl who has made
fame and fortune in Paris first
through her designing of hand
knit sweaters, then through her
sportswear, which is just about
as attractive as the sweaters.
She is the logical person to de-
sign hand-knit bathing suits,
and hers are still the most
successful.
The Capelet Suit
So now we present the newer
version of that popular suit. 1t
is still in a good imitation Of
handwriting, but the stitch is
wider, more interesting, as most
of the newer suits are this
year. It has other improve
ments too. This year instead
of a bandeau inside, it has a
The Washington times., 1932-07-08

bolero on the outside of the
suit, which crosses over at the
back to form the belt. This is
called the Capelet suit, because
of the popularity Of capes, but
it is really a bolero. The belt
is finished in front with
fleur-de-lis buckle. The little
skirt that has been added this
year is in the front only, and
disappears just beyond the hip
line to become boyiSh trousers.
The waist also dwindles away
into smart nothingness in the
back. Schiaparelli designed this
suit especially for American
beachwear, and it is already
nearly as successful as last
summers suits.
Mesh Scores Again
The other suit we have photo
graphed, is as important for
another reason. It may not
be PariS-designed, but 1t is OF
mesh. All the world has gone
mesh-mad, as you know, and
now the mesh rage has reached
bathing suits. It isn't as daring
as it sounds, though, for the
suit is of a thick wool mesh
that gives a porus effect, but is
sneavy enough SO you can't see
through it, and it is Reinforced

CHAPTER SEVEN

The animal kingdom, like
the world of humans, has its
midgets-miniatures that fire.
Quently are more interesting
than the larger species to which
they are related.
In the many years I have de-
voted to collecting living crea-
lures of all kinds for the ZOOS,
circuses and pet shops T have
encountered three animal
midgets Of outstanding interest.
These are the anoa or pygmy
water buffalo, the chevrotian or
mouse deer, and the honey
bear. Each a pocket edition OF
. larger species, they comprise
o trio that has never ceased to
fascinate me. AS the honey
bear plays the principal role in
q later chapter, I shall contine
myself in these paragraphs to
the other two.
Perhaps the most arresting
single fact concerning the anoa
Is that he is the strongest ami
NAL in the. world for his size.
The smallest of the bovineS-a
full-grown male standing about
three feet high and weighing
not much over 200 pounds
this little known animal is
capable of prodigious feats OF
strength.
To give you an idea Of how
much of a pygmy the anoa is,
let me cite that it is not un-
usual for the ASiatic water buff
falo, of which he is a pocket
edition, to attain a weight OF
well over a ton.
This tiny member of the but-
calo. family is browniSh black
In color, with a small white
blaze on the throat. AS the
males grow older they get
darker, eventually taking on q
coal blackness. This does not
apply to the females (who, by
the way. rarely reach a height

these ladies retain their origi-
nal color. The anoa's horns

Home Of the AnOa
About ten years ago I found
myself preparing to leave for
the Island Of Celebes. a Dutch
possession located due east OF
Borneo. This is the only place
in the world where the anoa is
to be found. I had an order
for a pair of these odd minia-
lures from DR.. William T.
Hornaday. then director of the
New York Geological Park. DR..
Hornaday was ever on the look
out for the rare and unusual.
A live anoa had never been seen

The Dole Of Love

The Dole Of Love
The beggar cried: "A crumb, a
crust!
BY weakness I am curst;
My pride is humbled IN the
dust,
I hunger and I thirst!"
Then eager hands and gentle
hands
Reached forth to give him
aid,
This weary wretch from foreign
lands,
BY life's strange turns be-
trayed.
It is SO easy to be kind
To those we do not know;
It is so easy to be blind
To near ones, dear ones woe.
A strangers mournful tale will
move
Us till the quick tear starts;
But. ah! the Scanty dole of love
We give to hungry hearts!
BY love the spirit must be fed
If it would grow and thrive;
Love is the meat and drink and
bread
vaich keeps tta soul alive.

The next morning she went
to the office as usual. Frank

an unexpected vacation. His
uncle was, however. The door

Mara.
When she came out, she was
very pale. She rode downstairs

lutte. The shadow Of the sky
scraper loomed over her.
She went back to the apart

said, and her voice was soft,

She left a note for Jennie

claimed: How can She?"
But Jennie turned wise blue
eyes on her with something of
pity in them.

Summer is the time to be a
vegetarian. Not only because
it is the season for fresh vege-
tables, but also that there is
good scientific evidence that
meats are heating in summer.
The term specific dynamic
property of protein" means
nothing more than that meat
produces an increased amount
of heat and energy.
It may help us to do cheer
fully what we must, therefore.
if we consider the nutritional
advantages Of some Seasonable
summer vegetables. These ad-
vantages are considerable.
Rhubard which is served on
the table must not be confused
with the rhubarb which is used
as a cathartic drug. They are
not the same. Rhubarb belongs
to the buckwheat family. The
stalks alone now are used, but
formerly the leaves also were
popular.
They are no longer much
used, because they have been
replaced by other more attrac-
tive leaf vegetables, and that
may be as we'll because they
contain a large amount OF OK
alic acid. The stalks also con-
tain some, and warnings have
been issued against its use by
patients with kidney disease,
or arthritis, on this account.
There is not much nutritive
value to rhubarb, except for
the sugar which is regularly
used to cook it.
Asparagus has driven nearly
all other vegetables of the stalk
variety off the table. It's pop

Holding only three losers in
his own hand, z made an open
ing demand bid Of 2-Hearts,
using the approach-forcing tac-
tics. A passed. Y responded
with 3.Diamonds. Counting
. nine tricks in his own unusual
hand, B jumped into 4-Spades.
Starting his bidding so un-
necessarily high was what BIS
partner censured. In fact that
was perfectly sound strategy.
When z bid 5.Diamonds. A
made an error for which his
partner quite justly blamed
him. A bid 5-Hearts. Bidding
opponents suit shows two
things: first, that no losers of
the opposing suit are held;
second, that ample trump sup
port is held for partner. AS a
matter of fact, A held one
losing heart; also he did not
hold ample support for his
partners declaration, as A held
only three low spades, and for
all he knew, A might be called
upon to trump several clubs
and diamonds.
Y bid 6-Diamonds, and quite
properly B shifted into 6
Spades. z made a bid of 7-Dia-
mondS, the diamond contract
could have been defeated one
trick, by an opening lead of
hearts by B. An opening lead
of spades would have enabled
z to trump. Then two rounds
Of clubs would have enabled
Y to discard his one heart upon
the second lead of rs clubs,
giving, Y his grand slam in
clubs.
B lost one heart trick, and
went down a trick upon his
grand slam contract. Curiously
enough, A did not blame his
partner for going down a trick,
although B should have made a
grand slam as detailed below.
When z made an opening
lead of Clubs, B trumped the
trick. He should have done this
with the g of Spades, to insure
a grand slam. Play the hand as
follows. Trump the K of Clubs
wit the 9. Lead the Z Of Spades.
Win with AS 8, to drop the

with the 10. Lead back the 4 OF

ing nothing left in AS hand ex-
cepting a winning Spade, spread

In the end Lynn went off for
her weekend without telling
Tom the name of her host. She
had not seen him since the
night at the apartment except
at the, office; nor spoken to
him save briefly over the tele-
phone. This Intangible estrange-
men on his part worried her
while it bewildered her. She

No man likes being thought

had thought it over, perhaps
Lynn was right with her hair

it any easier for young Shep-
ard, facing his friend.
