Drivers License
Lost? Get NelU One

You had better start searching i'm
mediately for your drivers license
because no new one can be issued
until the old one is presented, it was
announced this week by registration
officials.
You should make application at
once for a duplicate if you have lost
the old one, it was stated. New
drivers licenses may be obtained be-
ginning Sept. s and the deadline for
securing a 1943 license will be
Sept. 30. It is necessary that driv-
ers present their 1912 drivers licens-
es when applying for new ones.
Indications are that there will be
as many licenses issued this year as
last despite wartime restrictions on
tires.

Electric PreSser

An ingenious little electric device
that will press trousers while you
wear them is being manufactured.
1t looks very slightly like a small,
double-bladed meat cleaver. It is
designed especially to crease trou-
sers and press neckties, collars, hat
brims, pleats and SO on, without the
use of any ironing board or wet
cloth. This mechanical valet needs
no wet cloth because it is able to
utilize the natural moisture present
in all materials.

We've noticed, too that the other serv-

his death for granted"
What does Dean say" l asked
I've not discussed it with him since yes
terday. Let's get him out here and see how
he feels by now. But well have TO talk fast
/ want him back in the kitchen before the
watchman passes here on his rounds. 1t
won't do for any of the others to think we
are alarmed"
Dean was around sixty and apparently
sound as nut IL seemed ridiculous that
he could be condemned to death by an ilht-
crate woman.
Or. Emmons asked him bluntly If he was

afraid, while l studied his impassivc features.
NO" he said, Il am not afraid-but /
will surely die, unless, of course, l can find
a stronger ju-ju."
/ burst out: It's in your mind. Can't you
see they are working on your mind, Dean?
You're smart man. Pull yourself to-
gethcr-"
Yes miss" he said but the life had gone
out OF his voice
During the next few days. l drove from
Kingston 90 the plantation whenever l could
find an excuse and, when five days had
passed we began to smile at our own fears
on the seventh day, the Emmonses were
giving big dinner. II had been planned for
two weeks and they decided TO go through
with it, IL only for morale ~
Things were going so smoothly that after

countryman and announced Immediately, that
he had died Of heart failure. Also, he ordered
Dean taken from the premises at once and
buried.
But he had forgotten Dr. Emmons, who
insisted on performing autopsy.
1t was performed in the back yard - for
one must work fast in the tropics where the
dead are concerned. I held the kerosene
lantern - and listened to the doctor talking
to the nurse
This man was over sixty" he said but
see he has the heart Of a man of forty. II is
firm and solid and shows no clot so he did
not die of heart trouble
My personal opinion is that he was killed

Hn LACK magic? Nonsense. There can't
x be any such thing in the modern
- world 1t just isn't scientific"
That's what most Americans say when
they hear of Obeah, the brand of voodoo prac-
tised by the Jamaica Negroes.
That's what said myself when I first went
to Jamaica
Then l saw healthy man step out of life
murdered.
BY whom, or what?
"Obeah" whispered the terrified natives
Poison" asserted Or. George Emmons,
whose Negro butler the victim had been But
he added The two explanations aren't
mutually exclusive by any means Poison
and Obeah often go hand in hand"
He and the butler both had warning of the
latters death, nine days before. The Negro
was unusually Well-edncated for those parts
yet 1t never occurred TO him TO question the
power of the spell that had been put on him
The doctor questioned, not the power but
the means He did not think that simple
magic, no matter how black could kill man
But magic and poison together ah that was
a different matter.
And so they waited, the master with grow
ing apprehension, the servant with growing
