A form of nerve poison
ing caused by one of sew
eral kinds of spray or dust
ing compounds killed the
zebra which was found in
commissions Saturday morn
ing at the circus grounds
where the Kelly-Morris
show took place. The ze-
bra was repeatedly worth
$500.
Another hybrid zebra and a
Palomino mare, star of the
trained horse act, recovered after
DR.. Paul Landrum, Key West
veterinarian gave them treat
ment.
He said that he was called to
the scene Saturday morning be-
for IL a. m. and made several
return trips to the circus. The
zebra died sometime between d
and 6 p. m. that afternoon but
was not removed until Sunday.
/ LsndrUm said that there was
no antidote for The type Of

mails were suffering and that
fhe only treatment was to give
them q relaxing drug which

ed the commissions.

are several" he said. land came

The veterinarian added that he
had not performed an autopsy on
the dead zebra and TO his know

by the circus men who claimed
the zebra died Of "cirrhosis Of
the liver" Said Landrum, IF the
zebra did have that trouble, /
can say that was not the cause
of its death"
| The zebra carcass was taken
out to the city dump for disposal,
All the circus owners did was
skin it and take the hide away,

Female oyster crabs steal into
the dwelling of an oyster until
their husky brood departs. Oys-

with the oysters. Many toss them
out, others cook them with the
oysters and eat them.

The ghost OF Aviation Pioneer
Orville Wright has been giving
the National Air Museum a lit
tie trouble lately. but he's finally
been collared by Curator Paul
CARRIER, with an assist from Her
bert Hoover.
The latest communlque, from
Mr. CARRIER. issued today. re-
ports that everything has quieted
down now but he's thinking Of
putting in an expense voucher
for so cents which he laid out
in solving the problem
Here is the story he told:
Since this year commentaries
the 50th year of powered fight.
Mr. CARRIER decided the famed
Wright Brothers plane in the
museum should be graced with
manikln resembling Orville
Wright. TO show the position
assumed by the pilot
The manikin was produced
and a sculptor created a like
ness of Orville's facial features
Then came the problem of
dressing the manikin before put
ting it in the airplane.
Mr.. CARRIER, who took his first
plane ride about a decade after
the Wright Brothers did, recalled
the sartorial styles at the turn
of the century
He fished out one Of his old
time suits, which he had been
saving. and put it on the mani
kin Then. in searching around,
he came across an old-fashioned
pair of high-laced shoes in a
surplus store
The shoes were a bit too shiny.
so MIR CARRIER asked an employe
to scuff them around a bit After
a few hours of scuffing around
in the dirt near the museum. the
shoes looked the way Orville
Wrlght's probably did at Kitty
Hawk, N c
Then Mr. CARRIER hit another
snag.
Pictures showed that the avia-
tion pioneer was addicted to
wearing old-faShioned high stiff
collars. It took Mr.. CARRIER q
long time to find a haberdasher
who still had some on hand. The

Yesterday I showed you a hand
where Mr. Truck, winner of
many tournaments, got fine re-
suit by making a takeout double
over a one-spade opening. on a
hand containing three bare aces.
He had not heard from his left
hand opponent and he might
have been murdered. But he
found his partner with a good
hand.
Today's double looks like a bet
ter proposition. Mr.. Truck has
a better hand than three aces.
Also. the opening bid was a
minor suit, so his partner had
two bids open to him at the one
level. These advantages. plus
the fact Mr.. Abel held an ace,
did not save Mr.. Truck from
disaster.
He tried to squirm out of the
trap after Mr.. Masters redouble.

the one level Finally he gave
up, deciding he would only make
matters worse by trying one no
trump or two clubs.
My correspondent doesn't give
the details of the play. but merely
says Mr.. Truck was down 800
points. It's hard to see how he
got off that easily.

2d'onds Pass 2 hearts All pass
The West player made two
hearts without difficulty. So Mr..
Trucks team was minus 800 the
first time the hand was played
and minus 110 points on the re-
playa swing of 910 points, all
attributable to the decision of
the South player as to whether
or not to enter the bidding.
