been won by w. The declarer

afraid that z held the missing
Ace of clubs and another, and
that he would lose two club
tricks if he let go one of his
clubs, so he discarded one of
his two remaining hearts upon

Dummy trumped a return lead

have held the score down to a
small slam, by retaining his
two hearts and discarding a
club upon the last spade led.

WASHINGTON FASH HONS

A summery costume to travel
in. That's what you need, but
you must think Of lots of other
things before you decide. 1t
must be as nearly wrinkle
proof as possible. 1t must be
indefinite in color, so as not
to show soil too quickly. And
of course it must be cool. This
year it must still be dark, but
needn't have long sleeves, which
is quite a concession to the
conventions. And it's best if it
has a jacket. Start downtown
with all those thoughts in mind,
or take the shortest cut and
look at the sketch of the travel
costume that we're printing
today.
Smooth Dull Crepe
All the requirements of a
good travel costume are here.
The material is what is some
times called a travel print, but
mustn't be confused with the
many poor prints that are
worked out in bad color COM
binations, but called by the
same name. It is patterned to
look like a big herringbone
weave, indiStinct in color and
design, so that it will show
neither wrinkles nor dust. And
of course, because it's striped,
it's smart. There are tiny cap
sleeves in the dress under the
jacket, so you can wear it with
out it's jacket at times, but with
the jacket, it is suitable for
any daytime wear.
WaiStline is Up
The bias cutting of the dress
is cleverly done, so that it will
fit easily, but is not tight
enough so you will need too
firm a foundation garment un-
der it. 1t has the effect of the
new higher waistline, but is
held in by belt, and the clos
ing is really surplice. The cape
sleeves in the jacket make it
exceedingly cool, and when it is
worn with gloves, it is per-
fectly suitable for either street
or travel. 1t is priced SIS, and

z made an opening bid of
One Diamond. 1t is not Gus
tomary to bid to the score
just because two-odd at dia-
monds would give his side the
rubber, z had no right to make
an opening bid of Two Dia-
monds. Such an opening bid
would demand a response from
Y, regardless of what the latter
held. A had the option of bid
ding Two Clubs or passing. He
challenged" which is a subSti-
tute in some clubs for an in
formatory double. Y jumped to
Three Diamonds. which accom-
plished it's purpose of prevent
ing further contrasting by ABB.
Having no second suit to show,
and seeing no advantage in fur
ther bidding, unless a small
slam could be made, 2 passed.
So did A.
The opening lead was the K
of Hearts. The declarer's ace
won the trick. z led his lone
Ace of Spades, followed by his
lowest club, that Y trumped.
There were only two missing
trumpS, and the declarer
wanted to establish a long
spade in dummy, so that both
his own losing hearts could be
discarded upon the two good
spades in dummy. The Three
of Spades was led back, and
trumped with the declarer's
j, to later enable him to lead
a low trump to gain entry to
dummy. To test the adverse
distribution of diamonds, z led
his K, dropping the 10 at his
left and the 4 at his right.
The 7 of Clubs was led, and
trumped with dummy'S 6. The
7 of Spades was led from Y's
cards, and ruffed with the @.
Both adverSarieS followed suit,

blind drivers involved in auto

It is unfortunately imprac-
tical to substitute . any other
colors for red and green signal
lights. White, yellow or orange
lights are so common that they
have no significance. Blue
lights do not penetrate far
enough. Red and green are
definite, primary colors, are
readily distinguishable a long
way off, are not changed or con-
fused by smoke, fog, steam or
other atmospheric changes. Be-
sides, they have now a definite
and deeply set psychological as
sociation in the public mind.
1t took several years in the
early days of agitation to con-
vince railway executives that
tests for color blindness were
necessary for their employees.
Cures were attempted in order
to evade the issue. But expert
ence has proved that there is no
way to cure congenital color
blindness or even to alleviate
the defect.
The Washington times., 1932-07-14

Yesterday we pointed out the
large number of men who are
color blind-about one out of
every 25.
It is suggested that the pri-
mary requisite for a drivers
license be a test for color blind
ness.
1t would probably not be
necessary to prohibit such men
from driving cars. I know one
physician who is color blind
and who has driven a car
many years without an acci-
dent. But he knows of his
color blindness and is doubly
careful. Most color blind in
dividualS do not realize their
own deficiency. When the fact
is brought to their attention
they are frequently able to
make allowances or arrange to
have a companion at night so
that they are as safe as nor

are, so far as I know, no data

Lynn said delightedly, hold

gorgeous. I can't thank you
enough"
He replied coolly, smiling at
her, "It was pleasant of you to
come" and turned to Sarah.
Lynn, a little taken aback,
watched them. Incalculable
man! One moment he was your
friend, dependable; you had
only to reach out your hand for
comfort. Nice, that feeling.
The rext second he was less than
your friend-caressing eyes and
disturbing voice. That fright
ened you a little, but was pleas
urable. And then again. as now,
he was a hundred miles re-
moved from friendship, an
acquaintance merely, courteous,
a little bored.
Not that it mattered much.
He had said nothing to indi-

"Why?"
"You know why. Well talk

"Well," asked Tom, appearing
at Lynn's elbow toward luncheon
time, "did you have thrilling

He was ugly. He had seen
the car draw up; had seen the
people in it.

She had half expected it, of
course. But-oh, everything
was spoiled today. She slammed
her desk drawer shut.

blonde Miss Marple understand
ingly. We'll, I feel that way

says-he says he's sorry"
Could people really be sorry
and begin all over again with
the memory of things they had
said between them, terrible
memories?
Jennie? Perhaps Jennie
would be free. Suddenly Lynn
wanted Jennie and her aston
ishing acceptance of things as
they are, her slangy, Salutary
cynicism which was not cyni-
cism at all but a hard, poised
ego. She would go upstairs and
look for Jennie.
In the express elevator she
rose, swift as a bird. She had
been once or twice to Madame
Fanchon's with urgent messages
for Fanchon's "best" model.
Now she went into the gray,
ivory-paneled room, empty at
this hour sacred to luncheon.
Fanchon herself came out and
frowned at her a moment, puz-
zled.

asked Lynn, smiling.

CHAPTER TWELVE

On one occasion when the
Killers tracks were found
they formed a complete circle
around the little plot of ground
where the Tiger Temple stood.
This somehow served to con-
firm the native belief that
the temple could confer an
absolute immunity. l always
suspected that the old priest
might have created some cOun-
terfeit tiger footprints, just
for the sake of helping bust
ness along, but maybe I'm just
q naturalborn skeptic. Or
in fairness to myself-perhapS
I was taking too seriously the
hints of a Singapore friend
who claimed to know the holy
man better than any one in
the district.
At any rate. the Killers foot
prints were found frequently
and plentifully all around the
Kuali district. They were un-
mistakable, owing to the fact
that the inside toe of the
animals left hind foot was
gone-probably lost in some
jungle battle-leaving only
three pads. This three-toed
imprint had become a symbol
of death, and wherever it was
found it struck terror in the
hearts of the natives. So,
while there had been no deaths
among Gattle's coolies. a great
unrest had come over them
and some of them contrived
to spend more time in the
temple than they did at their
work.
While I was in Siam I re-
ceived a letter from Cattle
informing me that the insati-
able Killer of Kuali had &C.
counted for eight more lives.
This gave him a record Of 20
deaths and established him
unquestionably as the worst
man-eater the world had ever
known. In my earlier records,
there was a reported case Of
an Indian tiger that was sup
posed to have slain 16 people.
though I had not been able
to satisfy myself that the fig
ure was accurate. But never
had I heard anything to ap-
proach the wholesale butchery
achieved by the demon of
Kuali.
Raises Reward Offer
The government, Cattle in
formed me, had raised it's
original reward for the killing
Of the animal from $3.50 to
$3.50, which is great deal
Of money to the average ma
tive. While this had spurred

tie wound up by begging me
to remember that I had prom
ised to visit him on my re-
turn to Singapore. Perhaps if
/ looked the ground over, he
suggested, some means of ex-
terminating this epoch-making
death-dealer would occur to me.
I still felt that my original
advice to Cattle was all I
had to offer. but I made up
my mind to visit Kuali as
soon as I could and see wheth-
er anything could be done.
On my return to Singapore
I had hardly set foot on the
dock when I began getting fur
ther news. The Killer had
added eight or nine more vic

tins to his tragic score, and
the Johore government had in
creased its reward to $3.50,
an almost fabulous sum in
those parts-in fact, any ma.
tive who could earn it would
be Croesus. AS conSe-
quence of this offer many ma
tives from distant points had
been flocking to Kuali to take
up tiger,hunting as a regular
business. But most of them,
apparently. mad been so fright
ened by the stories they heard
that they had abandoned their
new profession promptly and
had hastened to the Tiger
Temple to purchase immunity
from the affluent priest.
Not a night passed without
the three-toed trademark of
the Killer being found some
where in the surrounding dis
tract. Two of Gattle's en-
ployes we're among the latest
toll of victims, but the natives
insisted that they we're agnos
tics who had not kept up their
regular dues in joss sticks and
prayer papers.
Cattle Is Aged
I had several urgent buSi-
ness matters in Singapore, and
it was three days before I
could arrange my affairs so as
to make the trip. to Kuali,
which is about so miles from
Singapore. Cattle seemed to
have aged since I had seen
him. TITS getting on my
nerves-and then some," he
admitted as we sat down in
his living-room for a discus
sion of the situation.
Cattle called in his Tamil
shooter" a boy named Joho-
raj whom he regarded as the
most intelligent and depend
able of his native workers. A
shooter" 1 might say paren-
thetically, is a sort of watch
man on a rubber plantation,
whose principal duty is to keep
moving about the estate all
night and scare off the deer
that are in the habit of feast
ing on the young rubber trees.
He walks up and down the
lanes between the long rows of
rubber trees letting out weird
cries and frequently shooting
into the air TO keep these ant
Tered poachers on the move,
at the same time maintaining
a sharp lookout for tigers.
In his cap he wears an acety-
lene lamp that throws a beam
of light by way of giving him
his bearings and helping him
to locate the game.
Johoral was one of the few
shooters" in the Kuali dis
trict who had stuck to their
JOBS night after night despite
the fact that there was a killer
loose. Johoral actually seemed
to relish the idea of an en-
counter with the jungle as
SasSin. He had made up his
mind to get that $3.50 reward if
such a thing was humanity pos
Sible.
Johoral was an outstanding
young man, and I liked him
from the minute he started
talking, at Gattle's suggestion,
giving me the complete details
of each of the recent killings.
He hadn't missed single sig
nificant point, and I hardly
needed to ask him a question
when he concluded.
He was sure that the killer

SALE CAUSE OF
COURT ACTION

Intricacies of the sale by J. T.
Mayberry to T. A. MaybeTy OF
dairy and farm stock and equip
ment was questioned yesterday aft
ernoon in a civil action filed in
superior court by j. A. Harris,
naming both parties to the sale
and c. H. H. Small as defendants.
The complaint asked an order
TO show cause why Small should
not be restrained from turning over
to J. T. Mayberry the proceeds
from sale of the property, re-
straining order to keep him from
doing so, and an order directing
Small to pay to Harris $3.50
assertedly due him by virtue of a
Justice court decision.
Harris received a justice court
Judgment in Imperial for $l67.69
against J. r Mayberry, December

was placed in the hands of the
sheriff for service on Small. who,
the complaint said, was in possess

MED he had any such property or
funds. and the execution was re-
turned unsatisfied. The execution

Goodyear Blimp
Is Scheduled To
Pass Over Here

Local residents may have an op-
portunity to see the famous Good
year airship volunteer" in the
near future, it was announced to-
day by McNeece and McNeece, dis
tributor for the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company in this city.
The volunteer" western unit Of
the lighter-than-ai fleet operated
by the Goodyear company, has
been stationed in Los Angeles for
the last three years and is now en-
route across the United States with
Akron, Ohio, its destination. 1t
was due to leave Los Angeles today
or tomorrow.
It has not been definitely an
nounced at what cities the ship
will make stops for refueling and
all night lay-overs, but the course
of flight announced by the pilots
calls for the ship to pass over this
area, McNeece said.
The volunteer" is 134 feet long,
38 feet in diameter and contains
$4,000 cubic feet of helium, the
n-inflammable lifting gas. The
ship holds several records for num-
ber of hours flown and consecutive
days flown, in its class and has
been a familiar sight to Southern
California tourists since June, 1929.
Werner L. Smith, pilot in COM
mand of the ship, is veteran fly
er, having spent approximately 1000
hours in the air at the controls of
lighter -than-air craft. He received
his preliminary training at the
Goodyear school of .airship training
at Wingfoot Lake, Ohio, near
Akron.
Walter l.. MaSsic, senior co-pilot,
who also is making the trip in the
ship, has had several years of eX-
perience and has flown in various
parts of the country.
Accompanying the ship through
this area will be a portable moor
ing mast attached to a special bus.
This is used for securing the ship
at night. Charles Hill and Fred
LuederS. who also hold transport
flying licenses from the depart
ment of commerce. are in charge of
the ground crew and the mooring
equipment. In the event the "Vol-
unteer" stops over here visitors
will be permitted to inspect the
ship at close range.
