These are examples Of minimum

their strength is less evenly distributed

During the Summer we played an
extremely interesting and stimulating
team match against four of the finest
players in the East captained by Mr..
Harold Vanderbilt Total scores on the
160 hands, which we played in four
sessions, decided the result.
Sitting North, I opened the bidding
third hand with one no trump. East
passed, South bid two no trumps, and
bid three. In my over-anxiety not
to miss any possible game, and because
things had gone very well for us up to

Impulses.
Some people imagine that impulses
are instincts-inherited urges Of some
sort which cause them to do, this, that,
or the other. This may be truth, but
1t certainly Is not the whole truth.
The vast majority Of our impulses
are nothing other than our attitudes to-
ward the Impressions we receive from
the outside world. When you hear a
sound, for instance, something has dis
turbed the atmosphere which surrounds
your body. You may say you hear tones

the sort. You merely detect atmos-
pheric disturbances which beat upon
your ear-drums. Whether you call the
sound q bell, middle G on a piano, or

Akron Man, Nephew of Mrs. E.
L. Winchell, Writes Descrip-
ton of Tiger Hunt In India

Tiger hunting in the jungles of
India-that's something to write home
about. Which is exactly what Elliott
Mckee, of Bombay, India, did when he
killed large tiger near Kathiwar.
The letter was written to his
mother, Mrs. S. G. DeVore, of Akron,
Ohio. The writer is nephew of Mrs.
E. L. Winchell, of Mountain Lake
Park.
Hunting in India seemed at first
like feather-bed compared to Afri-
can hunting. In Africa, one goes
right il the blue stumbling through
the dense underbrush on foot. Not so
in India. You ride along on an ele-
plant until you come to the desig-
mated hunting spot. IT,
climbing tree, plenty high, is
the next step. This is done by means
of rope. 1 then tied myself securely
to the tree, lit cigarette and peace
fully at first, waited for the native
beaten to drive the game to the tree.
"The grass was four feet high. The
jungle almost impregnable. I waited.
A wild pig, the most dangerous animal
that roots the ground, came by. I
didn't shoot. Why? Waiting for big
ger game. The next animal was a
panther beauty. Being secure you'd
be surprised how brave I was. Didn't
shoot. Again waiting for bigger game.
"Word came that the beaters had
driven a tiger within 400 yards of the
tree. By the time he came it seemed
like 400 miles. 1t took four hours to
drive him near me. l nearly fell while
waiting, except that the rope held me.
"Along came the tiger, as proud as
a peacock, brave as Al Capone with
eight bodyguards and four guns. He
stopped directly beneath me. l took
aim; was scared cockeyed. 1t must
have been the rafting of my teeth that
pulled the trigger because 1 don't re-
member doing it, I was so excited.
Mister Tiger takes good forty-foot
leap and adois. He's mine.
"But the beaters waited one hour
before approaching him. Official ver-
dict by the natives was death due to
gunshot.'
"Then came the fun. Nothing is as
enjoyable as security. l spent an
hour tieing myself to the tree. 1t
took the natives almost two hours to
unite me. It cost most of my clothes,
some nice face scratches and fool
ish feeling. Finally 1 did get to see
my kill.
"He measured II feet from head to
the tip of his tail. The shot had killed
him clean. The natives skinned him.
Another good souvenir. By the way,
the trip cost $50 rupees-$125 depre-
ciated American dollars. That paid
for two licenses, $50 natives, rope,
the rented gun and clothes"
And that's how tigers are killed in
India. Mckee has been there two
years working for the Goodrich Rub
Der Company. He was sent from Ak
ron four years ago to Africa, and was
later transferred to Bombay, India.

Highway Deaths in two Counties
Total Twenty

There have been twenty people who
died as a result of auto accidents in
Allegany and Garrett counties since
January 1, according to State police
official records, and not 25 in less than

The total number killed on the high

Pennsylvania and West Virginia, is
much larger. Deaths on highways in
the two counties, however, have not
