ADVENTURERS’ CLUB
HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF!
“Temple of Death”
STRIKE up the band, here comes a sailor—and let thal
band play soft, mysterious music to fit the scene, for that
sailor is going to tell us a tale about India, the land where
strange things happen.
William Mutch is the sailor’s name and he lives in New
York city. It was in July, 1925, that Bill stepped off his
ship, the S. S. Steel Trader, at Bombay and started out to see
the sights of the town. And Bill says he saw the town from
all angles—the funny side and the deadly, serious, too.
Right off the bat he had a brush with a native corn doctor
—gnd Bill says the joke was on him. Early that morning
when the ship docked dozens of native peddlers swarmed
aboard. Among them was a corn doctor, who wanted six
rupees to take a corn off Bill’s foot. Bill offered him three,
but the corn doctor shook his head. Finally they compro
mised. Bill paid him three rupees and promised to pay him
three more that afternoon.
When Bill stepped off the boat there was the corn doctor.
He wanted his three rupees, but Bill told him he’d pay him
the next day, and he and his buddy got into a gharry to drive
away. But he wasn’t fooling the corn doctor any. That little
Hindu trotted right along behind the carriage yelling, “The
Sahib owes me three rupees,” until finally Bill stopped him and paid
him the dough.
Bill Manages to Square Accounts.
“He smiled and said, ‘Thank you. Sahib,’ ” says Bill, “But
I didn’t smile because quite a crowd had gathered to see me
hand over those coins.”
So Mother India had her joke on Bill—but she also had another
surprise waiting for him.
The gharry moved on, with a crowd behind it all laughing at Bill’s
expense, and it didn’t stop until Bill saw a curious building and asked
his driver what it was. The driver said it was the Pydhoni temple—at
Those white clad Hindus fell on Bill and his pal, hitting, kicking,
biting and even spitting.
least that's what the name sounded like to Bill. Bill had a camera
along and he wanted to take some pictures of that temple, so he paid
off the driver and he and his buddy alighted and went up to the building.
Bill's eye fell on the curious carvings on the pillars of that
temple, but his pal was impatient. "I don’t like the looks of this
place,” he said. “Let's go to some place that’s lively and where
we can get a drink.”
But Bill wanted to get some photographs first. He noticed an
open door and sauntered over near it to take a look through it.
“No one was about,” he says, “so I decided to go inside—against
the advice of my friend, who refused to go with me.”
So Bill went in alone. He took off his hat and passed through that
door and up at the far end he saw a large image with a few smaller
ones grouped around it. With his hat in one hand and his camera in
the other, he moved toward that idol. Then, just as he had reached it,
he heard a scream of rage on the other side of the big room.
Bill Is Frightened by Scream of Rage.
Bill dropped his hat and camera. Wheeling around he saw a door
open. A short Hindu dressed in white stood in the doorway waving his
arms at him. That was enough for Bill. He started running for the
doorway. “My friend at the door shouted to me to hurry," says he.
“But there was no need for him to yell. I was running as fast as I
could then. I had just remembered my hat and my camera on the floor
behind me when I saw four more Hindus coming out of the side door.
They were trying to head me off by reaching the front door before I
did. They didn’t mean to let me get out as easily as I had gone in.
“Just by the door one Hindu tried to get me by the throat.
But my friend, like a good shipmate, stepped in and started to
help me out. He hit the Hindu on the side of the head, knock
ing him down. But by that time the others were on us and the
fight was on in real earnest.”
Those white-clad Hindus fell on Bill and his pal, hitting, kicking,
biting and even spitting, Bill says. "It didn’t take us long,” he writes,
“to find out they meant business. And we were sure of it when we saw
a knife in the hand of one of them. He tried to stab me in the chest,
and the only reason he didn't is that he couldn't reach me. Two of
his friends were busy right then trying to kick me to pieces and they
got in his way.”
The Temple Warriors Fight Their Way to Safety.
The man with the knife turned, then, and made a vicious slash
at Bill’s face. Bill’s pal threw up his arm and the knife ripped
through the sleeve of his Jacket. “The Hindu lost his balance,"
says Bill, "and fell to the floor, giving us a much needed break.
The others gave way a little when he fell—not much, but enough
to give us a chance. We smashed our way through them, dashed
through the door and out Into the street.”
Bill left half of his coat behind him in the hands of two of those
Hindus. A small crowd, attracted by the noise, had gathered in the
street outside, but for some reason they didn’t try to stop Bill and his
pal as they ran past them and down the street. They had only gone
about half a block, though, when the whole mob was after them, yelling
and shouting.
“But luck was with us,” says Bill, “for just then a vacant
taxi came along. We told the driver to take us to the docks as
fast as he could. He looked at us curiously—and, no wonder, for
we were a sight and a great crowd was after us—but he nodded
and got going.”
The driver was a Mohammedan, or he wouldn't have been so willing
u» help them out. He took them to the docks and Bill and his pal went
aboard their ship. The ship didn’t leave Bombay for four days, but
neither one of those lads went ashore again. “We stayed on ship,” Bill
says, “expecting a visit from the English police or a Hindu knife be
tween our ribs while we slept. But neither one of those things happened
and we were glad when the ship sailed for Karachi."

21-Gun Salute Has Origin in Mystical Significance
Originally warships fired a salute
of seven guns, the number seven
being selected because of its mys
tical significance from antiquity. Al
though the salute at sea was seven
guns, shore batteries were allowed
to fire three guns to the ship's one.
The reason for this was that sodium
nitrate was largely used in the man
ufacture of powder. This was eas
ily spoiled at sea, but could be very
readily kept on land. The multi
plier three was selected probably
because of its symbolism. With the
development of the manufacture of
powder, the number of guns for the
international naval salute was made
to. correspond with that of the land
forces. On August 18. 1875. a reso
lution adopted by the United States
provided that salutes be returned
gun for gun. At this time the Brit
ish salute was already 21 guns,
therefore, this number was accept
ed by the United States.
Furs Make a Gorgeous Showing
Especially Hat and Muff Sets
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
GET out your furs!
Your most sumptu
our furs, if you please,
for it’s a veritable ex
travaganza of furs, and
nothing less, that fash
ion proposes to stage
this winter. No matter how much
economy you may have to practice
on other items of dress, when it
comes to furs you cannot afford to
stint if you would move and have
your being as a shining light in the
pageantry that illumines the winter
style horizon.
It's not alone that this season's
furs are sounding the luxury note in
accents loud and clear, but the fact
that fur treatments are so exciting
ly individual, so in the no-two-alike
class so to speak, is arousing an
enthusiasm for furs that knows no
bounds. Everything that can be
made of fur is being made of fur.
There is a decided move in favor
of wearing separate fur pieces.
Many women are buying a smart
cloth suit (velvet for formal after
noons) also an equally smart top
coat, with thought in mind of glori
fying these units with fur neck
pieces, muffs and hats throughout
the coming months.
Fashion encourages the idea of the
detachable fur by offering an end
less array of accessories from which
to choose. At your own sweet will
you can don a huge showy fur stole
or a quaint tippet (once on the old
fashion list, now very new and
ultra). Perhaps you prefer one of
the youthful sailor collars of fur
which is the newest thing out in the
way of neckpieces. If your fancy
runs to wide revers of fur or to neat
and trim military collar effects you
are equally sure to win smiles of
approval from the powers that be
in fashion realms.
You can have fur go up and down
the front opening of your coat, or go
round and round at the hemline or
go criss-cross. You may have your
cloth coat fantastically pocketed
with fur or widely cuffed with fur
or both. Sleeves, all of fur, in the
cloth coat are likewise in the style
picture. If you wish to adorn your
coat with a breast-plate of fur or a
gilet or vestee, it’s a sure sign you
are correctly fashion-inspired. A
short jacket all of fur or a cape
long or short or a handsome full
length coat of luxury fur, each and
all testify to the marked luxury
trend that prevails this season.
As to the muff and the hat made
of fur, they are absolutely fashion
•’musts.”
The eye-thrilling fur fashions pic
tured are typical trends. Note
above to the left in the picture the
huge collar and muff of silver fox.
It is worn with a stunning coat dress
of blue-gray self-striped wool styled
with the now-so-voguish peg top ef
fect.
The fur that trims the costume be
low to the left makes a gorgeous
showing. Handsome silver fox
forms a deep sailor collar at the
back, the fur continuing a wide bor
der effect down each side of the
front Of course, there is a corre
sponding trim of fur on the hat.
A superb muff and coat ensemble
is pictured at the top, to the right.
The hat with a veil is trimmed in
wide brown ribbon. It is just such
twosomes of fur hat and elaborate
matching neckpiece, as shown be
low to the right, that leads in to
day’s fur fashion parade.

handsome stately brocades. Ice

Designed like a demure little puri
tan bonnet with stiff wings on either
side to frame the face is a hat made
of severe black velvet, with a tiny
bow of mink as its only trim.
Fox Trimmed Wraps
Smack of Luxury
Luxurious white (ox and deep
jewel-toned velvet are combined to
make a new group of magnificent
evening wraps. These fitted and
flared coats with their modified back
fullness are particularly effective in
black, carnelian red and purple.
Some of them boast full-length tux

yokes of white fox or back plas
trons of fur curving from shoulder
to waist.
Charming Costume
For Casual Sports
A gay and casual sports costume
is one which combines a beige
camel’s hair jacket cut in swagger
style and a heavy wool plaid skirt.
The coat has a removable parka
hood lined with navy and cherry red
piaia to maicn me sxin. illustrat
ing the corseleted influence, the
skirt has an extra wide waistband
measuring at least four inches
across. Navy blue shoes and gloves
and a cherry red brushed wool
sweater are the accessories.
Green and Pink
Like a full blown rose on a slender
green stem is the dress shown by
one Parisian designer. It is a pic
turesque bail gown with a tight-fit
ting emerald green satin bodice and
a billowing skirt of satin in a soft
shade of pink.
Dark and Misty
A color as subtle as its name is
one of Schiaparelli’s new dark tones
called "thick mist.” It is a slatey,
bluish gray, almost smoky in tone,
and considered important both for
day and evening clothes.

SHEEP CARE IS
FULL-TIME JOB
Winter Protection of Ewes
Pays Dividends.
By L. K. BEAR
Lambs may not gambol in the
springtime if their owners do some
gambling in the winter by failing
to give the ewe flock enough atten
tion to insure the production of a
healthy lamb crop, according to ex
periments in animal husbandry at
Ohio State university.
The ewe has two tasks to perform
in producing a good lamb and a
fair clip of wool, and she cannot
succeed unless the raw materials
needed are supplied by the flock
owner. Ewes will go through the
winter in good shape with only home
grown roughages until six or eight
weeks before lambing.
However, there are vast differ
ences in roughages. Good legume
hay provides the protein needed by
the ewes but timothy hay and corn
stalks do not. Farmers also should
remember this winter that corn
stalks and leaves have had their
usual feeding value reduced by un
usual fall weather.
Protein supplement in the form or
linseed meal, cottonseed oil meal,
soybean oil meal, or whole soybeans
should be fed to ewes which do not
get legume hay.
Shepherds are cautioned to re
member that a mature ewe needs
about a gallon of water daily, al
though some people think sheep re
quire little or no water. Farmers
who buy sheep tonics and compel
their flocks to drink from filthy wa
tering places are spending money
uselessly.
Calcium can be furnished the
ewes in the form of finely ground
limestone. Loose salt placed in
troughs permits the ewes to get this
necessity without breaking teeth in
gnawing a supply from salt blocks.
The ewe flocks have difficulty
enough performing their two tasks
of lamb and wool production with
out supporting a horde of internal
parasites. The parasites can be re
moved by treatments described in
the bulletin previously mentioned.
Drifted Soil Regions
Are Easily Restored
Harnessing the wind to undo its
own damage gets results at less ex
pense than doing the job mechan
ically, experiments where wind ero
sion has formed dunes indicate.
Once a dune has formed a sharp
crest, the tendency is for it to grow
higher and higher. But concentrat
ing the wind cuts the crest and
moves the sand until it is shallow
enough for planting to crops that
will check blowing.
One of the simplest and least ex
pensive methods is to fill gunny
sacks with the dune sand and set
them fairly close together on the
crest. This concentrates the wind,
and as the crest lowers, the sacks
sink and continue the work. Drag
poles drawn by two teams, one on
the crest of the dunes and one on
the lee slope also loosen the sand on
the crest and break the sharp ridge.
So, too, do one-way disk outfits.
Dunes usually are surrounded by
areas wind-stripped down to the
hard subsoil which will not grow
crops. Deep-listing these eroded
areas catches considerable sand as
the wind moves it away from the
dunes. When the hard clay and the
freshly deposited sand are mixed,
cropping possibilities are improved.
Deep-listing also catches and holds
rainfall.
Lowering the dunes, and mixing
sand with clay in nearby areas, are
only the first of essential steps. The
next important step is to stimulate
plant growth. Until plants start to
grow, these blown areas are still in
critical conditions. Crops of drouth
resistant plants such as sorghums
or native weeds cut the sweep of the
winds and their roots bind the sandy
soil.
