more than a mile across from
the point where We started.
Get Under Way
From here it was a three
mile trek to Madura. With
coolies Shouldering my cages
and crates and with the Sin
ghalese boy leading the ele-
phant, we got under way. No
stranger caravan ever traversed
this dismal stretch to the
Madura railroad station. Half
the time we were ankle deep
in mud and there were points
where we had to 'slop through
water over our knees with our
precious cargo. More than once
the boys faltered and I would
spur them on, employing in
my handling of this queer gang

a hundred yards or so The

lief as I've ever known.
Combines Collections
At Calcutta I picked up Lal
Behudar, my Number One
Hindu boy. We combined my
Ceylon collection with the Cal
cutta collection that Lal had
been supervising and got them
all to Singapore without mis-
hap-which surprised me no
little since that ill-starred lady,
The Patsy, was among those
present.
At Singapore I made ar
rangements by cable to meet
the s. s. President Cleveland
at Hong Kong. I was desirous
Of shipping on this boat be-
cause its skipper, that we'll
known navigator, Captain
George Yardley, was an old
friend of mine. Another good
friend on board was the mate,
Bill Morris. These old asso-
ciates would load my stock
properly, find good locations
for it on the ship and take
good care Of me in every way.
Then I arranged to go from
Singapore to Hong Kong with
my combined collection-an
enormous one-on the Lake
Falk, cargo boat known as
a feeder" It's function was to
pick up freight at various ports
and take it to Hong Kong for
shipment via tranSpacific liners
and freighters to America. Lal
accompanied me- on the trip
and did a enthusiastically
good job of helping me look
after my stock.
His Great Task
My principal problem now
was the slowneSs. of the Lake
Falk. She was proceeding at
only eight knots an hour, which
meant that there was a chance
Of my missing the President
Cleveland. This would have
cost me considerable money
and no end of inconvenience.
got into wireless communi-
cation with the Cleveland, CIV
ing Captain Yardley the exact
position Of the Lake Falk and
telling him the rate at which
we were travelling. Yardley
addressed his reply to the cap
tain of the Falk, asking that
gentleman to put on all possible
speed. This the skipper Of the
feeder" who was familiar with
the situation, agreed to do.
Yardley, in a subsequent wire

he comes in contact as it is for
him to understand the animals
he gathers together.
We finally reached Madura
and got my freight loaded on
a train that had been assembled
by the railway officials to
take care of the passengers
who were being brought from
the stranded train. . 1t was the
same sort of nondeScript local,
made up Of passenger and
freight cars.
When my crates and cages
were in place, The Patsy was
installed in an iron car as
before and lashed front and
back. Again she was thoroughly
uncomfortable as we started
jolting our way to Calcutta.
It was an unbearably hot trip
and the elephant-now def
nitely the unluckiest animal I
had ever handled-suffered
frightfully from the heat. The
best could do for her was to
have her Singhalese attendant
douSe her with cold water at
every station. This helped, but
it hardly afforded sufficient
relief.

The disease Is due to a minute

ring-worm group. It burrows

flammation which may be
merely a mild deSquamating
itching affair or may break out
repeatedly into blisters which
easily become infected with
puS organisms.
A far more potent cause of
the spread of the disease is the
fact that in an infected gym.

all the habitues become carriers.
They have the ringworm on the
skin of their feet and every.
where they walk they leave
some on the wet floors to be
picked up by others.
Ninety-seven per cent of the
students in a certain high
school in the United States were
found to be carriers.
Cure Of the condition once
estabE-hed is by no means as
simple as was once supposed.
Many substances have been
used to kill the ringworm and
most of them work, but the
tendency to chronicity and re-
infection makes the treatment
a tedious one.
Prevention is far more feasible.
One simple method which
should be enforced in all locker

swimming pools. is to require
the athletes to wear paper slip

to and from their lockers and
showers. These paper slippers
are on the market in extremely
inexpensive form.
