In the wear 1885 British scientist
led a party Of men into the heart
of East Central Africa. The leader
was Sir Herbert Johnston. In his
party were a few Englishmen and
about three dozen Arabs and Negro
natives. Their plan was to explore
Kilimanjaro Mountain and the land
around it.
One afternoon the party reached
q river bed which was almost, but
not quite, dry. The men were
thirsty, and quickly they lay down
on their elbows to drink what water
there was.
Going on with their journey, the
explorers came to halt when the
remains of freshly killed sheep
were seen in their path. They won
dsred whether it had been killed
by a band of Nasal savages.
"A short time later they saw smoke
rising from a point close by, and
heard voices. With two of his men
Johnston pressed forward through
some bushes and trees They came
to a halt at the edge of low cliff.
In the hollow below them they saw
about 1000 Nasal warriors!
AT that moment one of the men
with Johnston stumbled against
some loose stones at the top Of the
cliff. The noise made the Nasal
turn toward the party.

INCL RAYS CORNER-Bish Scientist Met With

ing on the flesh of cattle and sheep.
About 40 of them arose to meet the
strangers, who made ready with
their % rifles to meet the danger.
AS the Nasal came near some of
them could be heard shouting, En-
dara elajamba!" which meant, Let's
kill these people from the coastp
Others shouted words meaning, mo,
let's wait before we do thatl"
The leader asked whether there
were any sick people in the party,
and this gave Johnston an idea.
One of his native servants was an
albino, and he was called out to
be looked at.
When the leader saw this fellow
with his strange eyes and pinkish-
white skin he showed signs of fear.

Whot Is the Origin?

El Paso-I've searched in vain
for the origin Of the expression ITO
go the whole hog" Can you give it
to use. I. A.
Answer-The expression is very
old in both England and America.
One logical explanation Of its origin
is that for many centuries slang
term in England for "a five shilling
piece" was hog" Says De We're,
1872: "It is but fair to presume that
one gambler would go, as their slang
suggests, a shilling, another a half
crown, and q third would say, I'll
go the whole hog the whole piece OF
five shillings. Also persons who
were willing to spend the whole coin
would very naturally say, III 90 the
whole hog"

West opened the queen Of clubs,
dummy winning with the ace. South
then drew two rounds Of trumps,
followed by three rounds of dia-
monds. When the diamond jack
failed to drop, South had to
rely on the spades. He was very
disappointed to find that East had
both the king and jack of spades.
South thought he had been badly
treated by the goddess Of luck All
he had needed for his slam was
the drop of the diamond jack or
one of the spade honors in the
West hand. Was he right to COM
plain about his bad luck or had he
committed bridge crime? Decide
for yourself before reading on.
South committed bridge crime,
for his slam was unbeatable after
the club opening lead. Upon win
ming the first trick with dummy's
club ace, correct play is to ruff
dummy's low club at once. Then
South continues, by drawing two
rounds of trumps and three rounds
of diamonds. When the diamonds
fail to break, South leads spade
and illnesses dummys ten. East can
win with the jack, but cannot make
a safe return. A spade return rides
up to dummy'S ace-queen; East has
neither diamonds nor hearts: and a
club return permits dummy to ruff
while South gets rid of a losing
spade.

mixed spring training program. in
which major league baseball play
ers would utilize every suitable

ident Ford Frick Of the National

Prick. asked about possible train
ing at home by the major league
teams. as advocated By President
Ed Barrow Of the y. Y. Yankees
said, in his opinion. the idea would
meet with the approval OF the ma
iority OF the magnates and from
his preliminary observation he
thought most If the teams would
try and line up indoor baseball
cages or field houses as insurance
against bad weather in their spring
drills
I'd say. from the conversations
I've had, the training at home. o"
as near home as possible. pla0
would be carried out, said Prick
I've discussed this matter inform
ally with several baseball men am
most of them are trying TO find
indoor arenas on which they can
rely in case OF bad weather.
NO one can predict what the
weather will be like in any one
area during March and April
While most Of the National League
men are in favor of starting the
season on time, around April 18th
or 18th, | don't think there would
be any cat and dog fight over de-
laying the start OF the season IL
all teams were assured of an ade-
quate training set-up.
Branch Hickey" said Frick,
told me the last time | talked to
him he saw no reason the Dodgers
or anyone else couldn't get into
condition in three weeks and start
the season on time. He is defin-
itely interested in the possibility
of using every available day out
doors and completing the train
ing program indoors
Warren Giles, general manager
OF the Cincinnati Reds, wired Frick
yesterday strenuously Directing to
the confusion" which he claims
now exists pertaining TO the train
ing program.
Giles demanded Prick call a
meeting of the National League, at
least If both leagues couldn't
agree to get together in the near
future. to work out some well
defined program" The Red Of
fetal said responsible league Of
ficiaIs should confer with ODT Di-

question and be able TO submit
