CHAPTER THIRTY.SEVEN

The administering Of first
aid in my field doesn't apply
exclusively to human beings.
There are times when one also
rushes to the aid of stricken
animals. It's all in the game.
Which reminds me of a
story.
Let me begin by saying that
all of the hauling in Asiatic
jungle territory is done by
bovines. The chief of these is
the bumped bullock of India,
known zoologically as the zebu.
In the summer of 1881 I was
hauling a tiger (Which I had
transferred from a trap to one
of those heavy native log-cages
dowelled and lashed together
with rattan along a jungle
trail, in one of the typical ma
tive carts drawn by a pair Of
bullockS. The scene was North
Johore, and Ali and / were
moving our striped freight into
Semi where I had concentrated
quite a collection of animals,
preparatory to transferring the
lot to Singapore. This tiger
firSt-rate specimen-was to
be added to the collection.
All through the Malay coun-
try there are bog holes in the
lighter jungles, mostly in high
grass. These are usually the re-
suit of underground springs
over which the earth caves in.
These bogs sometimes cover
an area of 10 feet square or
more. Most of them, however,
are smaller than this. In some
instances they are full of
water; in other cases they are
just holes in the ground with
anywhere from a foot to two
feet of Shiny ooze at the bot
tom. The depth varies from
three to eight feet.
Locating the Trail
We were moving along with
our cageful of tiger trying to
locate the jungle trail that
would take us to our destina-
ton, when all of a sudden our
The Washington times., 1932-08-12

So far in showing the new
fall coats, now on sale in Au-
gust collections, we've sketched
only the fairly conservative
coats, those that are sure to be
the most popular, because there
are SO many more of them
available. But there are other
things, very new, very different,
and bearing the unmiStakable
stamp of this autumn and win
ter. There are furs that do
clever tricks about the tops of
our shoulders, furs that are as
simple as our ABC's, but by
that clever simplicity, are all
the smarter. So today we will
show just a few of the newer
collars, though there are many
more that space won't permit
us to sketch.
Hips Still Slim
No matter how furs are used
about the tops of coats, they
invariably give a bulky, sWagger
look to our shoulders. Devices
are still employed to put width
at the shoulders or through the
top Of the arms. Long-haired
fluffy furs depend on their
bulk to give the desired effect,
while the Shorthaired furs
often must be cut or draped to
give more width. None of them

z passed. A should have passed,
especially at the score. There
is little sense in showing a
long minor suit at once, when
no side strength is held, par
ticularly when weak in both
major suits. A opened the
bidding with Diamond, CIV
ing his partner an exaggerated
idea of his honor strength and
its distribution, Y made an
overcall of Heart. With six
solid spades (as B thought)
and side Ace, he quite natur-
ally bid 4-Spades, and z
doubled, ending bidding.
Feeling that the declarer
probably was quite short in
hearts, and that one or two
tricks had better be picked up
in that suit before B was given
an opportunity to discard any
of them on dummy's diamonds,
z led his K of hearts, in pre-
ference to his K of clubs. z
won the first trick and upon
his partners play of the 8, z
led his 7. Y's j won the
tricks, plainly marking the 40
in his hand. B trumped the
third lead of hearts.

Fur Epaulettes
Notice the clever treatment
of black skunk on the black
coat sketched at the left. The
wide collar is slashed at the
shoulders, with strips running
around the top Of the sleeves,
epaulette fashion, giving ex-
treme chic and width to the
shoulders. The fur collar mar
rows rather abruptly in wedge
shape in front, which is just
another way of making should
ers look broad and hips look
slim. This fur is Of a crepey
woc;en, and it's notable that
there is no fur on the cuffs,
but that the sleeves are beauti-
fully fitted.
Krimmer PlastrOn
In the center is a coat that
comes in green or wine, de-
parture from the somber blacks
and browns we have so much.
The plaStron is of gray krim-
mer, and although it doesn't
extend out on the shoulders
very far, its cut and shape

Your Health
And Diet
Bv LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
WITH THE advent Of the can
ming and preserving season, I
have received several inquiries
as to whether or not foods lose
their valuable ingredients when
preserved or canned.
A great deal of research work
has been done in determining
what effect canning or preserV-
ing has no various foods.
Fruits and vegetables do not
lose any great amount of vita
min A in home cooking or can
ming. Vitamin B is practically
destroyed by cooking and, there
fore, by the process Of preserv-
ing. Vitamin D is not destroyed
by ordinary preserving processes.
However, it is not found in
great amounts in foods usually
preserved. Vitamin G is not
destroyed at all.
Vitamin C-for which we must
look almost entirely to fruits
and vegetables-is destroyed or
preserved, depending somewhat
on the method used.
Vitamin c is destroyed oy
cooking, not because Of the heat
ing, but due to the oxidation
foods undergo in the process.
That is, it depends on the union
of the foods with air. If air is
excluded the vitamin G is pre-
served almost intact.
Modern commercial methods
of canning have overcome the
loss of vitamin C to a great ex-
tent by carrying on the preserv-
ing in vacuum. In home canning
this is not easily done. However,
even in home canning part OF
vitamin G is retained-poSSibly
a third in vegetables. Even if all
of vitamin c we're destroyed by
home preserving, the deficiency
in diet could be made up by an
orange a day.
Great pains are taken by COM
mercial Gamers to prevent loss
or destruction of essential feat
ures of their products-especially
to preserve the vitamin con-
tent.

until he led his Ace of trumpS,
and Y discarded the of
hearts. Then he began to take
account of stock, Y originally
had held five hearts and eight
cards divided between the two
minor suits. z originally had
held five spades, three hearts,
and five minor suit cards.
There were missing and held
by the declarer's opponents
eight clubs and only five dia-
monds. Most probably the
eight clubs were divided be-
tween them either SO or A,
giving a diamond division of
80, either if Y held five clubs
or four clubs, but in case z
held the five clubs then Y must
hold four diamonds, in which
event Y must hold a stop in
diamonds. either with the j or
10, and B must go down.
B just had to base his play
upon the odds of SO to 80 that
diamonds were divided 80, in
stead of being either Al or SO.
his only hope of success lay in
the way he decided to play the
hand.
B led off his three remaining
tops in spades. 2 followed suit.
Dummy discarded one club and
diamond. Then B led his last
remaining trump, giving the
trick to z. The player held
no more hearts, as B well
knew. z had to lead either q
diamond or club. Naturally
he led his K of clubs. The de-
clarer won the trick with his
ace. Then he led his top
diamond. All opposing dia-
monds fell upon Dummy's A.
K and Q, and the declarer was
enabled to discard both his
losing clubs upon the last two
leads Dummy's diamonds. B
had lost only two heart tricks
and one trump trick, giving
him his doubled contract Of
Four Spades, when vulnerable.
Of course z would have de-
feated the contract had he
made an opening lead Of a club
instead of leading a heart.

the front you see the nttle

then disappearing. The full
collar of black skunk, like the

meet the band, giving the effect
from the back of a very deep

say looks have nothing to do
with it. I'm not a flaShy
dresser and not a dull one.

in the crowd. I don't meek"
I'm not prudish, fault-finding,
snobbish or selfish. If need be,
I can be the life of the party"
I'm not shy, and not too for
ward. 1 have a temper, but
my friends have never seen me
angry. I can take a joke as
well as any of them, and pass
over others without even con-
Sidering them. I don't drink
or smoke, but I'm by no means
a "goody-goody." Can you ad-

girl in the crowd, and the only
one without boy friend.
"A. D.
Perhaps you may be so
conscious of being the only
girl in your group without a
boy friend that you're too eager
to please. Often this is the
case-and it scares boys to the
point of fading away from the
picture. I've noticed pretty,
attractive, well-dressed girls
throw such flip-flops of delight
if a boy happened to be mod
erately polite, that the boy in
terror sought refuge with some
one less attractive. I don't say
this is true in your case. Your
letter, too long to print fully,
tells me you're only seventeen.
Let's assume, then, that your
difficulty is perhaps only one
of youth, for popularity, like
everything else, has it's tech

Marine Band in
Pan American
Concert

The appearance Of Rafael
Diaz, tenor of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, as Soloist, and
the presentation of several COM
positions played for the first time
in this country, featured last eve
ning's concert by the Marine
Band at the Pan-American Union.
The concert, originally sched-
uled for the esplanade, was held
inside the building, and the en-
tire program was broadcast. Al
though Mr.. Diaz received en-
thuSiaStic applause and the new
compositions proved interesting,
perhaps the most enjoyable num-
ber Of the entire evening was the
familiar Eel Condor Pasa," by
D. Robles, great favorite with
audiences.
Diaz sang two groups Of Selec-
tions, some Of his numbers in
Spanish and others in English,
and was recalled for several en-
cores, the latter including LA
Paloma," which he sang with
excellent effect. His program
also included "Estrellita," with
out which no concert at the
Union would seem complete. 1t
is unquestionably the most popu-
lar song in the repertoire of
these concerts.
Among the new numbers,
"Elegia," by Luis A. Calvo, a
Colombian composer, attracted
much attention. This was ar
ranged by Luis Guzman of the
Marine Band, and is dedicated
to that organization. The others
included "Capricho Cubano," by
Gonzalo Roig, which needed only
the Cuban percussion instruments
to furnish the atmosphere Of
Havana, and the bolero Gypsy"
by Elisabetta Pacheco de Pate,
the first composition by woman
ever played at a Pan-American
concert.
