Chapter Thirty,eight

NHdptCI Hi W -CA6HO
The most terrific struggle that
can take place between any
two living creatures is a battle
between two full-grown bull
elephants.
The jungle has known many
a combat of this kind but few
men have been privileged to
witness them.
Sex is invariably the answer
when one of these titanic en-
counters takes place. A pre-
tender comes along to dispute
the sovereignty of the leader
of heard.
The boss elephant of a herd
is like a sultan travelling with
his harem. He does all the
breeding. The herd is made
up mainly of females; the rest
of the pack consists of young
elephants that have not yet
reached maturity. AS soon as
the young males become poten-
tial breeders they are driven
out to seek their own herds
or to become lone bachelors of
the jungle. The leader brooks
no competition. Out these
young lads go to shift for them
selves as soon as they reach
the age of puberty.
In, other words, in the ele-
phant world the strongest do
the breeding. Only those that
can fight for their females and
win them can participate in
the business of reproducing the
species - which is the main
reason why the race of ele-
plants has retained its virility.
When a herd leader no longer
can hold his own he is ousted
by a younger and stronger ele-
phant, who takes over the de-
feated ones females and sets
himself up as chief.
In CeylOn
Some time ago I happened
to be in Colombo, Ceylon, on
business. My next step was to
be in the Berar district of
Southern India. I planned to
make headquarters at small
native village about 16 miles
from the old abandoned Brit
ish military post at Jalna, while
engaged in assembling some
tigers, Ieopards, Sloth bears and
antelope to fill some orders 1
had from ZOOS.
At the time Lal was in Cal
cutta looking after a collection
of animals, birds and reptiles 1
had rounded up there. I wired
him to turn these specimens
over to Atool Achooli, we'll
known local animal trader who
could be depended upon to
take good care of them. His
further instructions were to
meet me at the village above

AS Blonde reached the low
couch at the stern of the boat
she dived laughingly into the
bank of pillows. AS Pratt
reached the couch on the run
he fell down beside Blonde.
Lurline watched the scram-

Concerning Your Health and Diet

NAL. Such infections can be
transmitted by using another
pers sons comb and brush.
Simple neglect of the scalp
may, however, result in forma-
ton of dandruff without infec-
ton from others.
If the simple type of dandruff
is not cured, it may go on to
the oily form.
The treatment of both types
is (firSt) remove the scales,
(second destroy the germs,
and (third bring the scalp to
its normal condition. The re-
moval of the scales is accom-
plished by brushing, as de-
scribed yesterday. A fine comb
may be used-gently, so as not
to injure the scalp.
Then comes the Washing-the
frequency depending upon the
stage of the disease. A severe
condition may require a daily
shampoo. Later, once a week,
or once every two weeks, will
be sufficient. Any mild soap
may be used for the shampoo.
A little lemon juice or vinegar
in the last rinse water, when
hard water is used, will keep
the hair from being sticky.
For the oily form of dand-
ruff, after the hair has dried,
medication may be applied to
the scalp (not the hair) with
the fingers. This should be used
for three days. After the disease
j.; under control, once a week
will probably be often enough
if the daily care is kept up.
A 3 per cent solution of re-
sorcin in alcohol is recon-
mended for medication in the
oily form of dandruff. AS re-
Sorcin may give a rusty stain
to gray hair, per cent of
salicylic acid can be used in
stead Of the resorcin.

Safely Bidding Slams

Some sort Of code must be
employed to bid slams with
safety. Probable trick counting
is :ot dependable above 10, as
there may be serious duplica-
ton of values held. The follow
ing hand gives an enormous
trick count for the two part
ners. The declarer made an
opening bid of 2-Spades, to show
game if his partner held sup
port for that suit plus on side
trick. Being void of hearts,
and having five trumpS and five
solid diamonds, the partner
jumped into 7-SpadeS. An open
ing lead of clubs put the con-
tract down two tricks.

The partner made an open
ing bid of 1-Spade. Using the
one-over-one force, Mrs. Clark
bid 3-Diamonds. The response
was 3-Hearts. Mrs. Clark wanted
a better idea of distribution
and major suit strength, so
she bid 4-Diamonds. Her part
ner showed two suits of five or
more cards each, by bidding
4-Hearts, leaving it to Mrs.
Clark to choose the final make.
On it's face the partners bid
ding showed 2l2 quick tricks.
The most probable quick tricks
were the AK of Spades and
the K of Hearts, either with or
without the @ of Hearts and
some Club strength. The high
honors might be the K-Q OF
Spades, K-Q Of Hearts, and the
K of Clubs. There were added
possibilities. But Mrs. Clark
Judged that eight Diamonds
should lose no trick, unless her
partner happened to be void OF
the suit, and probably only one
trump trick if her partner held
no Diamonds. A small slam
appeared reasonably safe bid.
Mrs. Clark bid 6-Diamonds, and
she made a grand slam, but 1T
would have been unsafe to bid
SO high. = fDf3
If a grand slam appears prob
able it can only be bid with
safety when partners employ

shown next was bid safely to a
grand slam by two trained fea-
ture showers.
