Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-15
By WILLIAM SEABROOK

IN Mozambique, Portuguese East
Africa, long a favorite haunt Of
] lionhunters, the king of beasts has
turned the tables. The hunted is now
the hunter, and man-eaterS, stalking
through the head-high reeds, are
spreading more death and terror than
during any period since the white
man arrived with the shooting stick.
Not satisfied with waiting for their
human prey in the fields and forests,
the audacious killers are even creep
ing into settlements TO drag off and
devour men, women and children.
Two theories have been advanced to
account for this strange plague. One
-that-a- mania for human flesh
spreads periodically through the leo
nine world. The other is that lions
have begun to lose whatever fear they
may have had of man because the
war has prevented hunting.
All this has been a great surprise
to the natives who had imagined that
continuous hunting had inspired the
lions to reform" Just the contrary
has been the case.

Arthur Ryall who had come up in
private car with a hunting party TO
end the deprcdations.
Here are the details from the re-
ports still on file in police archives:
Ryall had the car switched TO sid
ing, at the station. and they were
planning to shoot the lion from the
car windows. Near midnight, Ryall
was supposed TO be on watch, while
his two friends slept, one In an upper
berth, one in a lower. Ryall doZed too.
The lion came fearlessly to the car
and boarded it, pushed a door open
and entered the compartment in
which the three men slept. The door
slammed shut behind him.
The man in the upper berth was
awakened by RyalPs scream, looked
down and saw in the aisle the enor-
nous lion which had apparently just
killed Ryall. The hunter in the berth
below awakened. AS he started to
push away nearby object his fingers
closed on the beast, and froze there
The guns were down the aisle, be
hind the lion. The only way to get at
them was to step on the lion, which
the hunter in the upper berth tried to
do. The lion leaped through a win
dow. carrying Ryall with him.
All that was left of Ryall was found,
next morning behind the station.
Not since that amazing drama has
there been such dread of man-eating
lions in East Africa as now, when
their raiding has become an epidemic
The Portuguese government has
asked help from British Kenya. Emer
gency ammunition is being released
and the most ruthless lion hunt in
history will soon be under way.

and children covered inside.
The marauding lion shifted human
beings, and tried to break down the
barricaded walls. Failing in this, he
leaped 20 feet TO the matched roof OF
a hut, clawed through the straw, and
plunged into the room beneath.
It's occupants were two old women,
a young girl and a child. The lion

killed the lion with spears and arrows.
Another lion whom the Portuguese
police rangers finally shot, a ter
tracking him for weeks, had made a
speciality of stalking and killing boys.
He had already slain and eaten seven,
bouncing on their shoulders, biting
through their skulls at the base of
the neck, and dragging them into the
tall grass to be devoured at leisure.
Lions have also been killing and
eating native laborers on railroad
spurs in the bush, and houses have
been entered by these marauding gi-
gantic cats even on the edge of large
settlements near the coast.

CARRIED MAIL

Early III the century the United States government experimented with the idea of a reindeer mail. There were for a time two regular runs ol;t of Teller in which the deer made a round trip of 140 miles. The trouble apparently was that the deer weren't strong enough or enduring enough for that sort of work. One white expert on reindeer rut the maximum for a long journey with load at 25 miles each. Individual deer, he said, could do 40 day for a few days. The usual sled load is about 300 pounds, the weight of an average deer.

AS they urove up the icy gravel drive between the snow-laden ever greens, Margot asked, Who are the guests?"
 "Therell probably be a mob for dinner" Johnny explained as he op- ened the car door. sis always has a gang in on New Years day"
 Shouts of laughter and singing in the huge living room greeted them as the butler opened the door. Through the archway Margot caught glimpse of Peg, Johnny's sister. "Only the young could look for ward to another year with such gay ety." she observed with amusement
 I'm afraid" Margot said, T couldn't keep up with the general enthusiasm before dinner. Isn't there some place we can observe without being observed?'
 Johnny nodded toward small conservatory opening on the living room. There's side door to that through the buffers pantry" He led the way.
 Seating her on a love seat screen ed by a magnificent fern, he left, to return with cocktails.
 MargoJ took the glass absent mindedly, her eyes on the group around the piano. Isn't that your Miss Leslie?"
 He followed her gaze. A raven haired, vivacious young girl was ac- companying her sister in duet. His secretary!
 He nodded. She seems a little different away from the office"
 She probably doesn't know you're here" Margot said
 And just what do you mean by that?" Johnny asked.
 "Oh, Johnny!" her voice faintly malicious. Don't tell me you

 His laugh was spontaneous. ''Now who's being romantic?'
 She told me-" Margot answered evenly.
 Johnny stared, open mouthed, "Honestly?"
 His mind searched back over his three years association with Miss Leslie. Incident after incident crop ped up to bolster Margots assertion.
 Men are stupid, aren't they?"
 Margot shook her head slowly. "Only blind"
 Johnny looked at his watch. Its about time for my weekly proposal" he said, grinning.

Wedding GoaVms
Set for Sbibment

Fifty wedding gowns and wells
are to be sent to London soon by
the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs to be used by British
women in uniform on that one
great day in every woman's life
her wedding day. -
Realizing that British service
women such as the ATS and
WRENS have spent four long years
in uniform with little opportunity
of enjoying feminine frills ira
ditionally enjoyed by most women
in their youth, Mrs. John L. White
hurst, president of the General
Federation, conceived the idea of
sending the gowns to England. The
gowns, which are now at General
Federation headquarters in Wash
ington will be sent to service
headquarters in London from where
they will be loaned to the girls on
their wedding days.
Requests for wedding outfits were
sent out to clubwomen throughout
the country few weeks ago by
AVA o. VAieSildiSt 4llC JulllUI CluU-
women of Indiana sent the first
gown, Mrs. Whitehurst gave the
second In honor of the General
Federation, and Mrs. Roosevelt do
mated the third. A gown sent by
the Virginia clubwomen was pre-
sented in honor of Viscountess As
tor, the former Nancy Langhorne
of Virginia. Over so gowns already
have been donated by junior and
senior groups and by individual
clubWomen.
Many packages have contained
cook books, brides books, shoes,
hose, pearls, earrings and other
accessories in addition to the gown
and veil.
White and gold labels, with the
names of the donors, have been
attached to the packages at head
quarters, 1874 N street NV.
