inally requested. He grinned at
me, thrust the cloth in my
hand, took the coin that prof
ferred-which was worth an
American dollar at the present
rate of exchange-and strobe
off in triumph.
1 Strolled over to an ancient
machine that was standing
along the pier, and told the
owner to drive me around the
town. AS soon as we were out
of sight of the bowling mob,
I commenced conversation
with the driver Of the machine.
1 asked him about those poor
devils back at the pier. How
they managed to exist in such
a God-forsaken spot? 1 had
forgotten, for the moment, that
he was one of the natives.
They all live like pigs" was
his answer. Everyone of them.
All these mud husband he
pointed to a few we had just
passed-"are just as filthy in
side as they are out. Pigs,
that's what they are and that's
how they live"
We Travelled for few miles
in silence. Suddenly my chauf-
feur turned to me. He pointed
to a hovel that, if anything,
was dirtier than dozens of
others we had passed.
"Now," he said, there's a
place, that some Of those pigs
back there wouldn't know how
to keep clean. Isn't it nice?"
Another Hovel
I was about to tell him that
if anything it was dirtier than
any of the huts I had seen so
far. But something told me not
to. So I nodded and made no
reply.
"That's he went on, where
I live"
BY this time was fed up
with the entire thing, so di-
rected the driver to take me
back to the pier. I had forgot
ten about my prize piece of
cloth. So I fished it out and
before discarding it showed
it to my chauffeur. He asked
me how much I paid for it. I
told him.
"You shouldn't have taken it
for that money" he said re-
proachfully. THAT poor man
needed the money so badly
that he took a big loss"
laughed.
Don't kid yourself" I told
him. "He wanted So for it.
When I offered him 81. he was
more than happy to accept the
coin. Say, listen. He probably
made so cents on the transac-
tion, even though I only paid
him a dollar"
He told me that I was wrong.
They were very wonderful nap
kins-and that was the first
time I knew just what the
blamed thing was. They were
expensive. And if I didn't want
it, he'd be glad to take it to
give to his wife. Women ap-
preciate such gifts. So I handed
it over. He looked at it very
carefully. He repeated that I
got it very cheaply, indeed. 1t
was worth at least twice the
price I paid.
Arriving at the pier, I paid
the chauffeur and walked to-
ward the boat. Another bushy-
haired individual approached
me. He waved another "nap-
kin" in front Of me. He asked
me to buy it.
At that moment I left
Djibouti forever. For the price
he asked was equivalent to 13
cents in American money!

Good Sales Talk

LA LAY VCAJ NCoV @ANAANAA
which, I assure you, is quite
terrible-I inquired the price.
Instantly his face broke into
what was supposed to be a
grin. He ceased his hysterical
gibbering and answered me
very slowly in the same
language.
And what a salesman he
vas! He explained that his
wife was sick-terribly sick. He
Explained that his children
four little Djiboutians - were
also very i'll. He went on to
say that unless T bought one
of his very nice cloths the
whole bunch Of them would
starve.
He waved the darn thing up
and down in front of me. He
caressed it. fondly, twisted it
this way and that, and did
everything but balance it on
his nose. He probably could
have done that in a pinch, too.
He just had to sell that piece
of cloth or the family wouldn't
live to tell II = tale. But still,
with all his sales talk, there
was no mention Of the price.
I knew the mug was sure
he had me hooked, and that
he was laughing to himself.
But, after all, what difference?
That was his particular racket,
and if he ma, a living at it,
more power to him. So, once
more I inquired about the price,
Again his eye filled with tears.
Sir" was his response in
French, business is very bad.
L must get some money before
my wife and children Starve to
death. So, IN going to lose
money to sell this wonderful
artistic cloth to you."
And the price he quoted was
equivalent to two dollars in
American money. Two dol
lars for a dirty piece of cloth
that I knew I would throw
away the minute I bought. I
grinned at him.
Makes Bargain
"That's a lot of money,
mug" I told him, interspersing
my French with English, "a
hell of a lot for that rag. I'm
afraid that wonderful family Of
yours will have to starve. Now,
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
make a. bargain with you"
He stopped waving his cloth
and listened attentively while
I explained that I'd buy it pro-
vided he'd accept a lower price.
Say, half of the figure he orig

National abyAm ecan Tht

ABOARD THE s. s. RESO-
Lutte, INDIA.BOUND. Well
here am still aboard this float
ing palace, and still enjoying
myself immensely. According to
my schedule, our next stop is
Bombay-which we should reach
very soon. And I can't help
wondering just what I'll find
when I set foot on Bombay soil.
AS I've already pointed out
to you, our last stop was
Djibouti, North African town
in Somaliland. And though
I've visited quite a number Of
places while engaged in this
trip, Djibouti took the cake.
Filth and poverty were to be
seen at every turn Of the head.
A Different Life
AS I sit in my cabin banging
out this alleged column, my
mind wanders back. I think
of the terrible wretches with in
durable diseases who stood at
the dock ard clutched you
when you landed. I think Of
the creature with a face half
worn away with disease who
grasped your hand as you ex-
tended a coin. I think
But why 20 on in this vein?
I'm far away from the place
now. Now, after all, it was an
experience to be remembered
for years to come. An un-
pleasant experience, perhaps,
but nevertheless a sight that
one must expect to see on a
trip such as this.
AS I've already told you, the
Djiboutians go into their dance
at the dock the minute a boat
is sighted. The dance is for
the purpose of drawing spend
ers to a certain spot so that the
natives may dispose of their
various wares And don't think
the statesmen are dumb, broth
ers and sisters. They may be
filthy-but far from ignorant
when it comes to dealing with
travellers.
AS an example, I stood
around for a few minutes
watching the natives as they
gathered about the passengers
who had just alighted from the
boat. They were offering for
sale spears and warlike objects
of every description imaginable.
AS I watched the bowling,
filthy mob words cannot ex-
press the pity that I felt for
them, stood it as long as pos
sible and decided to look
around the town.
I turned to go, when buShy-
haired gent approached me. He
thrust a piece of cloth before
me. It was about the size of
a handkerchief and covered
with mud. Just a nice souve-
mir to bring home-I don't
think,

Other Interesting Features

Picture.

Striking scenes in the Pacific
Northwest where six are dead after
heavy rains and wind storms caused
great damage, are to be seen in the
current issue of The Times Univer-
sal NeWsreel. Graham McNamee,
noted radio announcer and the
screens talking reporter, describes
this and the other events in the
reel.
Rising to record levels, rivers
inundate the nearby highways,
making them impossible, while
thousands are forced to leave their
homes in the flood region. Terrific
winds cause thousands of dollars
damage and injure hundreds of
persons.
Other news events in the reel
described by McNamee, include
scenes at Los Angeles, Calf, where
racing drivers risk their lives in a
contest for the Pacific Coast title;
views at Sabina, O., where a 108-
year-old man goes hunting alone;
views at Rankin, Pa, where four are

Crossed Ohio River
Three years ago, the state was
invaded by ar army C squirrels
which swan the Ohio river in great
multitudes. The hunters here were
delighted. I sent game wardens to
the Ohio and saw that the squirrels
we're welcomed into the state with
open arms"
On Dec. 10, forest workers near
Buffalo, N Y. reported seeing
thousands Of the animals swimming
the Hudson at Highland.
Like Suicidal Migration
On Friday. Dec. Is. the vanguard
Of the invading host swept into Co

invited the influx while the legis-
lature wrangled about the Ohio
liquor laws.
Nobody seems to know how far
they go" said George G. Goodwin,
assistant to the curator of NAM
