two babies off into the bush, while she
sat down to watch developments. The
two little fellows, loathe to- keep cover
long, came out and sat down beside
her. In the meantime, one of the
lioneSSes at the lunch found tender
bit and carried it to the cubs. The
watchful mother allowed them to guzzle
it for a few minutes and then quietly
took her paw and covered what was
left with dirt. How mad those little
cubs were, but, like most mothers, she
paid no attention to their fuSsing!
ANOTHER day we went out in the
~ hope of finding chetah-and in
Tanganyika you only have to name the
animal you want and he is likely to
show up. AS we motored down the
banks of one of the many dry rivers,
or "dongas," Mrs. Johnson spotted two
beautiful big chetahs. We drew up,
picked the larger one and shot. 1t had
fallen my turn to do it. Unfortunately,
being an amateur with firearms, I
wounded it only, and off both of them
ran. We followed them as far as pos
sible, but the big cat got into "donga"
before we could get another bead. Lieut..
Quesada and myself jumped out and
followed him, while Mr.. Dawson and
Mrs Johnson took a wide swing in the
car, hoping to head him off.
We were searching up this donga,
eyes and ears alert, when we saw the
car returning and Mr.. Dawson waving
wildly for us to stop. They drew up
pale and agitated. Seventy yards back,
they told us, they had spotted large
lionesS and two tiny dayold cubs. She
lay so still as the car drove by that they
were within or feet before they saw
her. The cubs eyes were still closed.
One cannot help but wonder what their
mother might have done to two pc
destrians if we had wondered near her
babies! Such are the thrills of African
hunting.
Night hunting is the most fascinating
form of adventure. Pete Quesada had

frightened cries. Up the hill, snorting
and furious, ran a large rhinoceros. The
little natives were up trees in no time.
Another late afternoon we were walk
ing again through this valley, when sud-
denly the boy in the lead lifted his knife
and like a flash brought it down on
something at his feet His companions
we're dancing with JOY when we came
up; he had cut the head off a black
namba, the fastest and most poisonous
snake in Africa! I was grateful not to
have been near the lead that day
Our time here was short, however, for
we were anxious to get down to Tan
ganyika and see the much -talked-of
lion country.
British customs regulations are very
and we were forced to fly by way of
Moshi to the Serengetti Plains. For
several days we camped among some
curious rocks in the plains-but no ami
mails were to be found; due to the
drought they had all left to hunt water.
With our plane we located a green
stretch which had been visited by show
ers, and there we moved and camped
beside a small river.
Much to our joy, we discovered that
a family of ii lions also had decided
to camp just a quarter of mile below
us. We courted them every day with
juicy chunks of meat and were soon fast
friends. Anybody who has played with
lions in Tanganyika for four weeks re-
turns with a very different idea of the
King of Beasts" They were good ma

One of my most interesting days with
lions was with another family of II.
We brought them, as usual, some lunch
and stood by in the car for develop
ments. Two lionesses Immediately came
out of hiding and began attacking their
meal with roars of satisfaction, when
we noticed a third old noness with only
half a tail, painting down the hillside,

Settlement of the three-day-old strike

Three Capital People Share
In $4,000, 900 Sweepstakes
U. S. Yorker, Butler and
Restaurant PrOpri-
etOr Win.

If Mrs. Mary Hunter Booth. who Is
rated as very efficient Treasury
secretary, happens, in the course Of
the next few days, to run haywire
sentence or so into Government cor
respondence that ordinarily is a mod
el Of accuracy and neatness, she can
be pardoned!
For Mrs. Booth, a comely young
widow, of 2201 Fifteenth street, now
is confronted with the pleasant task
of speculating on the chance of hav-
ing as much as $l50,000 to spend
as she likes, and there are not many
people who can face such an outlook
without just little bit of mental dis
turbance.
The possible windfall rests on the
drawing for the Irish Sweepstakes in
Dublin today, when she was one of
the select company whose ticket
called for horse instead Of a blank.
She gets Highlander, one Of the
early favorites in the big field, which
goes to the post at the famous New
Market course next Wednesday in the
Cambridgeshire Handicap, on which
the Sweeptakes is based.
Two other Washingtonians. q
colored butler and the coproprietor
of a lunch room, also drew tickets on
entries. All three are assured OF
winning at least $4,000. Any addi-
tional amount they get depends on
where their horses finish:

NEW YORK, October 27.-The

confessional synod in the German
church, the group which is protesting
against the policies of the ofncial
Nazi church.
American churches have hereto

because of fear a public expression
of sympathy might serve only to
strengthen the hands Of your
opponents. The rebellion of the
German pastors was compared with
that of Martin Luther.

clared that "autocratic church rule,
the use Of methods of force. and the

NEW YORK. october 27-Speaking
in dollars and hours, the Union Paci-
fic says its streamlined F-l000l was

propelled train on its 3,300-mile coast
forecast run.
Estimating the advantages in econ
omy Of operation of the M-l000l' s
Diesel engines over coal-burning To-
connective, Union Pacific officials con-
trasted the $50 oil bill of the M-l0001
with an estimated $500 coal bill for q
steam train over the same route.
1t would require about "a tons OF
coal-costing between SO and So so
a ton-to pull a six-car train from
Los Angeles to New York, the officials
estimated.
The new streamlined train. vastly
lighter and generating electric driv-
ing power from oil-burning engines
consumed about l gallon of oil for
every is miles west of Chicago and
somewhat less fuel per mile over the
water level route from Chicago to New

Clues as New Threat
Is Reported.

Acting on an anonymous "tip" that
another gang attempt was to be made
on the life of Mickey" Mcdonald,
Montgomery County police last night
threw a guard about McDonald's s
Takoma Park home, where gunner,
lying in ambush early Tuesday, killed
a newspaper route carrier whom they
mistook for Mcdonald.
Meanwhile Washington police, who
say Mcdonald is a numbers op-
orator, continued to comb the local
underworld for a clue to the Staying,
and plans were completed for mass
meeting against crime called by the
District Bar Association for Monday
night in the main ball room at the
Mayfower Hotel.
The news room of a morning paper
was informed by telephone last night
that gunmen would go to McDonald's s
home ito get him at 10 o'clock" The
informer hung up without Identifying
himself. police headquarters was in
formed.
Headquarters here notified Mont
gomery County police and a detail of
eight men was dispatched to the home.
They concealed themselves on the
premises and waited until convinced
the attempt would not be made.
The route carrier, Allen B. Wilson.
80, was fatally wounded by a blast
from sawed-off shotguns and pistols
as he thrust newspaper into the mail
box at McDonald's drive. Two gun
men were seen to flee in an automo-
bile driven by confederate.
The drumf1re against known gam

by Commissioner Hazen, will be with

their efforts on solution of the murder
OF Wilson, it was stated today.
Just as soon as this case has been
broken" or at any rate within the
next few days, the plan to have police
squads subject gambling houses to
constant harassment" will be put
into operation.
This was made clear at the Dis
