pitch dark, the tiger charged
again, bursting through a gap
in the thicket. He came like
an exploding shell, more like
something that had been hurled
through the air than like an
animal leaping from the ground.
Buck wheeled to meet the
charge. He had no time to
bring his rifle to his shoulder.
He shot from the waist. He
shot when the tiger was al
most on top of him, when he
could see its yellow eyes blaz-
ing like twin topazes in the
darkness. He could even smell
the rank scent Of it's breath.
But he was too close for a
miss. The 180-grain softnosed
bullet tore it's way through the
left side Of the tigers breast, as
he reared up, forelegs out
stretched, claws spread, red
mouth wide open, fangs gleam-
ing. The terrific impact Of
the heavy bullet stopped him.
He dropped with a shattered
shoulder, threshing in the
brush at Frank Bucks feet.
Frank jumped back a few
feet and shot him dead,
through the head. Then he
took a tape measure and meas.
ured the distance from the i'm
print of his foot in the soft
ground to the nearest front
paw Of the dead tiger. 1t was
just "a inches.
And that" said Frank Buck,
twas just about the closest call
I ever had from presenting
myself to st. Peter at the
pearly gates"
Over in Germany Adolph Hit
Ter has run his juggernaut over
the Jews and the Communists.
The headSman's axe falls with
appalling regularity. The tramp
of the broWn-Shirted Nazis across
the face of Germany has been
like the march of the Prussian
Guards across the Belgian from
tier. But just as Liege halted the
gooSeStep of Won Moltke, today
another fortress stands in the
path Of the flaming NationalistS
of Herr Hitler. It is a barricade
which has endured against the
assaults Of tyrants and oppres.
SorS for 20 centuries. It is the
Christian Church.
Crash Predicted
The ProtestantS of Germany
have declared against the Prus-
sian bishop, Muller, who wants
the church nationalized and
brought under the state. The
Catholics continue their out
spoken opposition to the pro.
gram, and scarcely day goes by
that some courageous pastor or
priest is not dragged from the
pulpit and jailed for preaching
against Hitlerism.
In this conflict, events are
moving rapidly. Unless the
adroit chancellor can sidestep.
or create some international di-
version, the head-on crash will
come soon. The Hitlers, the
Goebels and the Goehrings may
find that they are up against
something more rugged than a
feeble, fearful minority.
If it does come, look to Mu-
mich and that stern, guant,
aristocrat, Michael, Cardinal
Won Faulhaber, archbishop Of
the Bavarian capital. He is the
ranking Roman Catholic prelate
of the land. It is he who has
just reminded the Nazis that
their remote ancestors, of whom
they would make gods, were
slothful, ignorant savages, and
that in the kingdom of God
there are neither favoriteS nor
Stepchldren.

Frank Bucks Closest Call-Nazi Juggernaut
By EdlUin C.. Hill
BIZ EdWin C.. Hill

My friend, Frank Buck, who
lassoes tigers, corrals wild ele-
plants by the herd and slaps
down king cobras-the most
daring and successful Of wild
animal collector@is back from
a series of blazing adventures in
the jungles Of Nepal, the Malay
States and Sumatra. Calling on
this writer and offering a Gig
arctic from a crested gold case
presented to him by his friend,
the Sultan Of Johore, Frank
Buck, in his simple, modest style,
told some tales Of wild animal
trapping that made the heart
quicken in its beat.
Tall, rugged, face burned
brown by 20 years of adventur-
ing under tropical suns, SCARED
by the teeth and claws Of the
jungle cats and the big snakes
he has garnered for ZOOS and
circuseS, Mr.. Buck is a man to
look at twice anywhere you meet
him. The big prize he secured
on his latest expedition is an
Indian rhinoceros, a young male
weighing two tons, and the
most valuable beast in captivity,
worth probably $4,000 or $30,-
600. 1t goes to the st. Louis
Zoo.
Raging Demon
He brought back also 100000
feet of film which he is cut
ting for a six or seven-reel mo-
tion picture, full of tiger killers
and 25-foot pythons and black
leopards, a picture which he
is calling wild Cargo" after
the title Of his latest book.
One of his liveliest adven-
lures was in trying to film a
few hundred feet of a striped
demon in Johora. He had trail
ed a big tiger to its jungle re-
treat and, failing to drive it
into the open in daylight, kept
on with the job after darkness
fell. With a blazing torch in
his hand he pushed into the
thicket, poking the flare into
the brush to the right and to
the left. Suddenly there was
an ear-shattering roar and a
great crashing in the brush.
The tiger was coming, flare or
no flare, and coming like the
raging demon he was.
Buck leaped backward. His
heel caught in a creeping vine,
which saved his life, for the
great cat leaped high over
him and the flaming torch.
Buck could see his striped belly
as he flashed over. Then the
tiger was gone again, lost in
the thicket.
"I was scared stiff" said Frank
Buck, land I didn't care who
knew it. If ever a tiger had a
chance to make a kill, this was
the animal. In my helpless
state on the ground he could
have finished me in a flash.
With one slash of his paw he
could have ripped open my
throat. The rest, the business
of tearing me to pieces, would
have been only a matter of
seconds"
But he got to his feet, picked
up his rifle and considered what
to do next. Retreat was the
only thing possible and with
his Malay boy, Ali, he started
to back away through the brush,
holding the rifle ready. In so
PAGES they were out of the
heavy jungle, and as their
fourth flare burned out Buck
motioned to the boy not to
light another. He felt himself
practically out of danger. He
relaxed his grip on the rifle
and rested it in the crook of
his arm.
Then in a flash, without a
flicker of warning, in almost

 We take this opportunity of thanking you for your patience and indulgence in bearing with us through this trying period of labor unrest We know we have done our best and we feel you will not criticize for failure to carry usual routine .The S. S. Northwestern, sailing Tuesday June nineteenth, will clean up all accumulated freight and will permit us to again return to normal conditions
 Again thanking you for your cooperation,

D. {. MILK PLAN.
FOR POOR DUE .
R EV|S|O n
Cost of Production Figure
Puts Price to District
Above That to Dealers
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

ny AOO1O Gs WIZ ~
Original plans prepared for
District officials for purchasing
milk at a cheap rate for distribu'
ton to the needy may have to
undergo some modification.
This was indicated today when
Frank S. Walker, president Of the
Maryland-Virginia Milk Producers
Association, submitted to Elwood
Seal, assistant corporation coun-
sci who is handling the relief
milk distribution proposal, a
schedule of "cost of production
of milk in 1888, which shows that
cost is BOIL cents a gallon.
Mr.. Seal said he would ask the
Department of Agriculture to
study the schedule with a view to
determining if the costs indicated
in the table were substantially
correct for 1888 and if any Of the
associations cost figures should
be increased for this year due to
the higher prices Of feed, labor,
and other elements entering into
the total cost.
Feed Largest Cost Item
In the schedule submitted, 1t is
shown that the largest items are
feed, which is given as 1882 cents
a gallon: labor, which is 5.57 cents
a gallon, and transportation,
which is 3.03 cents a gallon.
Mr.. Seal will ask the Agricul
ture Department also to study the
figures with a view to informing
him if the costs shown in the
schedule were prepared on the
basis Of the cost to the farmers
of producing milk alone.
He suggested that the figures
submitted for such items as labor,
insurance, rent, and others, may
be the farmers total cost for
these items, including what these
items cost him for his other &C.
tivities on his farm. If such is
the case, Mr.. Seal said, reductions
should be made.
Originally, it was the plan that
the District government purchase
surplus milk at cost of production
to the farmers, so as not only to
guarantee the farmers no loss on
their surplus milk but to provide
a means Of buying cheap milk for
distribution to the relief clients.
Cost Held Too High
Mr.. Seal today pointed out,
however, that If the cost of pro-
duction is BOIL cents a gallon. the
District would have to pay more
for the milk than the local deal
ers, who pay 20 cents a gallon for
basic milk and 20 cents a gallon
for surplus milk.
Mr.. Seal would not say what
he intends to do if the figures sub
mitted to him by the association
are found by the Department of
Agriculture to be correct, but it is
firmly believed that he will refuse
to pay more for the product than
the local dealers pay, and, there
fore, his original plan will have
to be modified accordingly in some
manner.
