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."

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. 1 (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Brocade Revival The fact of fabric elegance Im presses one more and more this sea son. One of the outcomes of the call for rich materials is the revival of handsome stately brocades. Ice ‘ blue brocade in a tulip motif fash i ions this lovely formal evening gown. It shows a tight bodice, el i bow-length puffed sleeves and bustle back. A ruby and gold pendant pin is used at the heart-shaped neck line. Black Velvet Bonnet 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 edo bands of fox. left open at the waist to permit the hands to be in serted muff-fashion, and others have 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. _ Farm Topics [] 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. Agricultural News Dean John F. Cunningham, Ohio State university, says a speaker who asked his audience the difference between a good farmer and a poor farmer received the reply, “The good farmer sits and thinks and the poor farmer just sits.” • • • The Federal Crop Insurance cor poration has forecast that during the second year of its operation more than 300,000 insurance con tracts on the 1940 wheat crop will be in force. • • • Fruit areas are usually near large bodies of water because the tem perature is more uniform and the growing season is longer than in other areas. • • • Radiant Romance Storrs, a 16 year-old Jersey cow, has established a new lifetime record for her breed in the U. S. She has produced near ly 140 times the milk equivalent of her own weight, and seven times her weight in butterfat. She is owned by the University of Connec ticut.
