Johoral and I set out for a
point where Gattle's plantation
borders on the jungle and here
in terms of an animals past
maneuvers, as related to me by
the boy-we selected two sites
for traps. Our task might have
been simplified had the tiger
been accustomed to using any
regular path or game trail in
crossing or entering Gattle's
estate. For then we could
have dug a pit, camouflaging
the opening with leaves and
branches, at a location where
the animal could be counted
upon to tumble into the hole
the next time he came our
way. But this fiend of the
Kuali jungles seemed to have
no regularity whatsoever about
his habits or movements, as
tigers usually have. He was as
likely to turn up in one corner
of the estate as another, though
his tracks showed he did at
frequent intervals visit that
section of the plantation which
bordered Immediately upon the
uncleared jungle.

did not touch any other food
than human flesh. Three or
four domestic animals had been
killed around Kuali during the
past few weeks, but Johoral
had investigated each case, and
was satisfied that the man.
eater had not been responsible.
This confirmed my feeling that
it would be no use trying to
bait the striped murderer with
goats or lambs.
I renewed my pleading with
Cattle to leave out dead
body, and Johoral listened
solemnly to my argument. I
had learned from questioning
him that what remained of the
latest victim, the twenty-ninth,
had not yet been buried, and
I begged Cattle to have this
body taken back to the spot
where it had been found.
There two or three crack shots
could set up a day and night
vigil.
"The chances of getting the
killer will be at least fair" I
urged. There is always the
possibility, of course, that he
will get wise to the fact he is
being watched and beat a re-
treat. But there is also a fair
chance of his being drunk with
his success in battling man.
And if he comes, the rifle
bearers can pump him full OF
lead"
"Buck,' said Cattle, shaking
his head, "once more I'm
tempted to take your advice,
but I'm afraid to. Don't for
get that it was the Chinese
who were responsible for the
passage of the law which makes
it a crime to use a human
body as bait. If we run coun-
ter to their respect for the
dead, which goes beyond that
of any other race in the world,
we'll have trouble. I don't want
a delegation of them going

Y'S MEMS CLUB
 HEARS LECTURE
Frederick (. Smith of the American Brass Talked
 on Economic Cycles
GOOD TIMES COMING

one of the most timely and in- tcresting addresses ever given at the Central Y. M. c. A. was heard last evening when Frederick C.. smith, assistant manager of the Waterbury branch of the Amer ican Brass spoke 10 the Y's Mems Club on "Economic Cycles"
 Mir Smith brought with him q chart on which the numerous fluctuations in the economic life of the United States had been drawn in n graph from 1860 to the present day. This graph showed the periods of prosperity and depression very clearly.
 History repeats itself" said Mir Smith, "after each war comes q period Of denation. Then after a period of two or three years comes a second depression" Ac- cording to Mir Smith there has been period Of depression on an average of every seven years. This however does not mean the next period of depression will come in seven more years, it may be twice as much or less. The periods of prosperity far outnumber the reriods of depression in frequency. Certain features have definite ef- feet on these fluctuations and the cause of the last depression was the stock market boom"
 "The United States Is on tho way back to prosperity now" said Mir Smith, although 1t is bound to be very slow and gradual re- covery which is hardly discern

 The normal line of MT Smiths graph was based upon the amount of shipping of imports and exports, railroad freight car loading, taxes, mining, the output of steel, etc. The fluctuations in both periods of prosperity and depression varied from 10, 15 to 20 per cent

Next Production
 By Local Group
Little Theater to Present Psychological Drama,
 "HOtel Universe"

Interest in abundance has been shown by many people in the try outs for the Little Theater's next production, Philip Barry's psycho- logical drama, "IIotcI Universe" Many applicants sought the oppor- tunity to portray the various char acters in the play. Some most original and whole -hcated interpre- tations were given to the roles. The cast which has not as yet been dcn- nitcly announced Will consist of eight chief roles.
 A special reading was held last Sunday afternoon at which time Miss Obcrmcicr. who has had con siderable experience in stage work in New York and Germany, was present to check up on M Mss Schocni's choice of actors for the various parts. Miss Obermeicr is a frequent visitor in Waterbury and has seen every performance the Little Thcater has given so far. The presentation of Hotel Uni- verse;" the outstanding success of the New York Theater Guilds sea son of 1920-30 offers to the mem- bers of the Little Theater their first opportunity lO produce plhS which in It's difficult and subtle theme. Is exemplary of the newer psychology such as has been intro. duced to the stage by O'Neif, Strange Interlude" and Mourning Becomes Electra" The characteri cations and theme demand skill perfect acting and inherent abilit, to impress upon the audience tho depth and intensity of the people portrayed and the subtlcty of tho theme.

Church and Civic Organizations Pay Tribute to Churchman Leaving Portland for St Paul, Minn. Earlier Assumption of Duties Imposes Huge Tasks on Priest

So busy Is Bishop Murray that he is pressed to find time to att tend the many dinners being given in his honor by both Catholic and Protestant organizations. 1t Is safe to say that never has a Cath olic bishop been as popular with peoples of all creeds as Bishop Murray and never has there been such widely felt regret at n Cath ollie bishop leaving Portland.
 Soon after the announcement from the Vatican of his elevation, the Portland lodge of Elks hon ored Bishop Murray with dinner. Early this week he was guest of honor at a dinner at the Portland club, n republican organization composed principally of Protest ants, 400 members turning out to pay their respects. St Elizabeth x circle. Daughters of Isabella. gave him n dinner last evening at which 400 members of the order from all parts of the state honored their bishop.
