the camera men had been able
to get at least one or two flashes
of him.
I nodded to Ali, indicating the
line of retreat that I thought
would be simplest. In so PAGES
we were out of the heavy
jungle, and as our fourth flare
burned down I motioned to Ali
not to light another. as it would
be Of no particular assistance
any longer. In this short grass,
the cat could not attack us
without my seeing him coming.
I could have a second or two
of grace if he decided to come
back for more. We we're in
sight of the barricade now,
and began to feel ourselves
practically out of danger. I re-
laXed my grip on the rifle and
rested it at ease in the crook of
my arm. In order to get to
where the ladder had been
placed, we still had to pass
around one corner Of the heavy
brush, but that didn't worry
us any. My mind. in fact, was
already occupied with the new
arrangements which I would
have to make in order to keep
the expedition here until we
could get the postponed pic
lures.
We arrived at the corner Of
the heavy brush and were
within sight of the bamboo
ladder. Then, in a flash, with
out a flicker of warning, the
tiger came bursting through
gap in the thicket. He was
more like something which had
been thrown through the air
from a great distance than like
an animal belonging on the
ground.
Automatically, I wheeled
around to meet the charge,
and automatically I lifted my
rifle. There was no time to
get it to my shoulder. I shot
from the waist. BY the time
my mind reacted to the fact
that the tiger was charging and
was almost on top of me, my
rifle had sped a 180-grain soft
noSed bullet on its way.
The Death
He was too close for a miss.
The bullet tore it's way into
the upper left side of the
tigers chest, just as he reared
up, with forelegs outstretched,
claws spread, reaching for me.
The force of the blow stopped
him instantly, and he dropped
with a shattered shoulder,
thrashing in the brush practi-
cally at my feet. jumped
back a few steps and finished
him off with a shot in the
head.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS = By Wilma L0viIe

There's no doubt that the
suit with SWagger coat has taken
the town by storm. It may not
be apparent on the streets yet,
for there's been no suit weather,
but if you're in the stores much,
you see suits and suits bought
and sent home, some for school
wardrobes, some for business,
some for women who shop and
walk a good deal. Most pop
ular so far is the four-piece suit
of tweed, composed of skirt,
Swagger coat, hat or beret, and
sweater blouse. But there are
many people who do not want
to follow the crowd, who want
something different.
Variety for Spice
For those people with a yen
for something different, there
are several types of suits. There
are softer suits, made of crepey
woolens, with dressmaker details,
but the same practical features
of suit with a coat that can be
worn separately. There are
dresses with swagger coats, and
there are knitted swagger suits.
Some of them are trimmed with
fur, though most are not. Very
smart and substantial are the
tweeds with raccoon collar, and
they take the place, to a large
extent, of both suit and coat, and
the coat just looks like it was
meant to be worn with other
sports dresses.
High -Necked Blouse
We've sketched one of the
swagger suits that has dress
maker details. 1t is of a loose
novelty wooIen with a crepey
weave, and comes in brown,
black or green. The coat is
three-quarter, eng h, swagger,
and simple. The skirt is plain
and straight. But when you
start describing the blouse, you
realize why the suit is so un-
usual. Made Of beige satin, it
is a marvel of good fit and beau
tiful finish. 1t has cuffs that
really fit the wrist, and that
snap tightly. 1t is hand-finished
everywhere that an edge shows.
The drop shoulder makes it very
new looking, as does the little
tie that is quite high about the
throat. 1t unbuttons all the way
down the front, and has a
slightly basque effect, in step
with the new Moyen Age move
ment that Patou launched in
his August opening. This suit
is $3.50.
Marvellous Material
The other suit sketched, on the
left, has Paris sponsoring, too.
Helm, and one or two other de-
signers launched three-quarter
coats, fitted at the waist, and
sometimes beltless. This coat
may be worn with or without its
belt, so fulfills all the specifica-
tions. It has raglan shoulder,

Your Health
And Diet
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, MD.

The major problems of infant
nutrition all have been solved.
This announcement made to
a large group of specialists in
diseases of children is evident
ly of firSt-rate Importance.
But exactly what does it
mean? What are the major
problems of infant nutrition?
How were they solved? Does it
follow that from now there
will be no infant mortality due
to faulty feeding?
Well, in the first place, it is
worth while noting that these
problems were not solved by
any single dramatic discovery.
They were solved by the grad
ual accumulation Of obServa-
tionS and work by practicing
physicians all over the world.
They are all the more valuable
for having stood the test Of
such practical experience.
Fundamentally, the major
problem of infant nutrition is
to feed an exceedingly vigorous
growing organism which needs
enormous amounts of food so
that it can digest the prepara-
ton given.
If all babies could be fed on
mothers milk for the first six
months of life there would be
no problem, but this happens
less than half the time. So the
first problem is the modifica-
ton of the curd of cows milk,
the usual substitute. Boiling
and acidification do this equal
ly satisfactorily and the ques-
ton of the buffer substance is
Of considerably less Importance
than formerly"
The opening up of our
knowledge of the Importance
of the vitaminS has explained
the reason for many failures
in infant feeding in past times.
Early enlargement Of the
diet now is recognized as of
major Importance. Much earlier
than before egg yolk, cereal.
vegetables, fruit pulp and other
substances are added to the
healthy growing child's diet.
Inadequate diets and one
sided diets rapidly are losing
out. The day when because
a baby was supposed to have
a weak digestion, it was given
barley water or skinned milk,
or albumin water, has gone by.
1t now is generally believed
that the chief cause of diges-
tive disturbances in babies is
not giving them enough to eat.

There could be no better open
ing lead than AS K of dia-
monds. rs Ace won the trick.
The declarer's only club was
led. AS best defense is to play
low. One might say that per-
feet play is for Y to win with
his 10, but that smacks of dou-
ble-dummy play, moreover win
ming with Y's Q will produce
the same final result.
Lead back dummy'S lowest club.
Ruff with declarerS' 3 of spades.
AS the of clubs falls you know
that A now holds the Ace alone.
Lead one round of trumps be-
fore leading rs Of diamonds.
Dummy will trump the trick,
and lead back the K of clubs.
Discard declarer's lowest heart.
A had won the first trick
for his side. He had his three
hearts untouched. He has no
trumps and no clubs. A still
holds the Q-J-10-9 of diamonds,
of which both dummy and B
are void. while the declarer
holds two losing diamonds.
Will you have A lead his top
heart of one of his diamonds?
If A leads his Q of hearts z
will win the trick with his
K, then 2 will lead the dia-
mond, and ruff in dummy,
which will amount to the same
thing as if A led the diamond
at once.
Suppose A leads his top dia-
mond. Dummy will trump with
the 9 and B will overtrump
with the @. Unless B leads
back a trump. so as to cost the
declaring side one ruff of a
diamond by dummy, the de-
claring side will make five-odd.
We will run through what must
happen, both when BIS return
lead is a trump and when it
is anything except a trump.
If B leads back a trump, the
declarer will play his 6 and
dummy's 10 will win the trick.
Upon the good 10 of clubs
from dummy the declarer will
discard either his last low
heart or his losing diamond.
2 next will take his two top
hearts, and he will pick up
BIS last trump. Having won
his tenth trick, z must give
the last trick to A. If 2 dis
carded his last low heart upon
dummy's good club, A will win
a diamond trick. In case z
discarded his last diamond
upon Y's good club, z must
give A one heart trick. If
played against perfect defense
z can win just four-odd.
In case B decided to lead
something besides a trump.
when he was overruffed dummy
at the seventh trick, the de-
clarer will discard his last low
heart. Dummy will win the
trick. Dummy will lead a
heart, z will win two tricks.
Dummy will trump rs last
diamond. The declarer will
trump one of dummy's hearts,
and then 2 will lead his last
trump. In case B leads a
heart, instead of a club, 2 must
win five-odd, but the order in
which cards will be played will
differ from that following a club
lead.
