ATLANTIC CITY, December 15.-
With more woman hunters this season
than ever before, Atlantic City is
awakening to the fact feminine visi-
tors have invaded practically every
field of sport and athletics formerly

it became socially smart to be able to
boast of having landed tuna or sail
fish, and now it is the woman hunter
who is shooting the greatest number
of ducks, railbirds or pheasants.
Increasing numbers Of women own
and operate their own boats, with the
craft ranging from the popular l2-
foot moth boats" with q single sail,
to palatial yachts. Several compare

Government to Auction Of Illicit
Treasures Of White
Gold.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Visitors
to South Africa this Spring may wit
ness the final curtain in the govern
ment's latest drama Of ivory. The
precious white gold of Kenya, known
in the trade as elephants tusks, Is
now protected by government regula-
tions, and like all lucrative trades, has
its unlawful and bootlegging channels.
At Mombasa, beginning March S, and
later the display at Durham, will be
held the government auctions of illicit
ivory taken from poachers and thieves
in q six months roundup trek
throughout interior Africa.
The tusk hunters are divided into
two groups-the killers and dead
ivory" gatherers. Dead ivory is sup
posed to be derived from dead ele-
plants Or skeletons. Though 1000
elephants die a natural death every
year in the jungles and forests Of
Africa. few big game hunters or ex-
plorers have ever discovered dead

dude" EXPLORERS
SOUGHT FOR TRIP!
Captain R. Stuart Murray
Seeks Companions as
Paying Guests.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Thos.
Cook & Son -Wagons-Lts is called
upon to cooperate in arranging many
unusual travel events in the course Of
q year, but it is now faced with one
Of the most difficult assignments it
has ever undertaken. Capt. r. Stuart
Murray, famous jungle explorer, who
will lead an expedition into a virtually
unknown territory of British Guiana,
sailing from New York January 8, has
asked Cooks to assist him in securing
several non-scientific members Of the
expedition who will accompany him
as paying guests" They may be
either men or women. The selection
is made particularly difficult because
of the requirements as to health and
ability to withstand the rigorS of a
long trip into the South American
jungle.
The expedition will penetrate the
upper Rupununi district of British
Guiana, going up the Esequibo and
Rupununi Rivers in large dugout
canoes and will conduct extensive
chronological studies among the Wapi-
shana, Atorai, Waiwai and Taruma
Indians. These Indians, according to
Capt. Murray, while known to exist,
are as yet unrecorded, and 1t will be
the task of the expedition to study
their habits, customs, bush doctory,
spirit superstitionS, folk lore. language.
crafts, songs and dances.
Much Hunting.
There will be excellent opportuni-
ties for hunting, Capt. Murray says,
as the region abounds in jaguar,
puma, alligator, ocelot, long-tailed
tiger cat, tapir, deer, peccari, ktnkajou,
SlothS, ant eaters and coatimondis, as
well as fish of all sorts. The expedi-
ton has been asked by the American
Museum of Natural History to secure
a specimen for mounting of the enor-
nous Arapaima GigaS, which attainS
length of Is feet and weighs up 20
400 pounds and is only found in the
Rupununi River.
The expedition will spend four
months in the interior and the activi-
ties of the dude" members selected
by Cooks will be optional as to wheth-
er they spend their time in hunting
and fishing or in cooperating with
the scientific work of the expedition.
The group will be in touch with civili-
cation at all times by field radio.
Compatibility Required.
Requirements for the non-scientific
members include age limits between
18 and 35 for women and 18 and As
for men. They must meet socially
before the start of the expedition, in
view of the long interval of isolation,
during which complete compatibility
of the members will be essential. They
must have a certificate from doctor
attesting to their fitness to stand the
trip. Any woman who joins the
group will not lack for companionship
of her own sex, as at least one other
woman will accompany the expedition
as student ethnologiSt and field sec
retary.
Passports are not necessary and the
expedition is sanctioned by the United
States Department of State, but the
rules of the group require compliance
with laws of the colony Of British
Guiana at all times.
Capt. Murray adds that he has no
sobjection to members bringing along
dog companions if they wish.

have secret death place. 1t is from
these supposed mysterious cemeteries,
which the dying elephant staggers to,
that the Illicit traffic in ivory goes
secretly on. The government agents
this year have been able to confiscate
over $4,000 tusks from unlicensed
hunters and agents. Many Zulu
tribesmen use the mystic cemetery
source as a blind. Not ONLY do the
natives believe in the ivory heaven,
but big game hunters are human
enough to hope that some day they
will discover an ivory hoard.

boots and taken q long stride
L toward acquainting travellers
from the United States with
American republics to the south-their
vastneSs, their manmade and nature

years of gradually working toward its
goal-increased travel in the Ameri-
cas-the union has established travel
bureau from which may be obtained
ready and accurate information that
smoothes the path of the tourist.
Although in operation only about
two weeks, scores Of people already
have applied to the bureau for infor-
nation as to what they may see in
the neighboring republics to the south,
how one may get there, how much 1t
costs. inquiries have come from Penn
sylvanians, Ohioans, New Workers,
Iowans and even from citizens living
as far west as Utah.

One of the favorite side jaunts which

WHILE travel to q few of the South
w American republics Is hemmed
about by restrictions which try
the patience Of the in-a-hurry Amer
leans, this Is not true of Chile. How
ever, two requirements may surprise
the prospective traveller. Besides his
passport he must obtain a doctor s
opinion certifying his health (espe-
cially that he Is free from COM
municable diseases) and must pre-
sent certificate of vaccination.
Some pan-American countries re-
quire q sizable cash deposit, which is
held until one leaves the country. This
is supposed to be needed to insure the
country against the visitor becoming
public charge. Chile Is also free
Of this handicap.

think up some record mileages Of red
tape, which several Of the republics
enforced to forestan real or fancied
