ABOARD RMS PARTHIA, Aug. 3—The next time I see a Hollywood version of an ocean voy-
age on the screen I'm going to throw a brick. Beautiful women? Baloney, Romance? Nuts, Adventure? Stop -it, Mae, I'm going to cry. I was the second person aboard this bucket in Liverpool and I don’t mind saying | checked the passengers closely as they staggered up the gangplank. As-the bartender, Chick, sald, this is a floating old ladies’ home. The only thing I can say for the voyage to Europe last May on the 8S America is that Margaret Truman was aboard. I talked with the President's daughter four times. Charming girl. When she said in Washington and New York that she didn’t contemplate any romantic interludes, she meant it, LS TR
THE PARTHIA is a British ship of the Cunard Line, Offhand I would say the average age of the passengers is 75. The other night we had a Jolly time at dinner singing ‘Happy Birthday” to a sweet lady who was celebrating her, 83d birthday. The passengers had barely enough steam to finish the song and, if it hadn't been for the purser, the last two lines would have been whispered. There are a couple of American doctors and their wives aboard. Very quiet, dignified and proper, these people. Also we have 10 or 12 couples who are extremely charming but have long passed that period in life when the salt air puts color in the cheeks and stirs the blood. They sleep, eat, sit on the deck and read. The five or six emigrants aboard are scared, bewildered, glad to be alive and going to America, awful thrifty with the few bucks they carry. You can't blame these people for staying away from Chick's domain where the finest in beverages can he had by merely nodding. And paying, of course.
Africana By Robert €. Ruark
CAMP MTO-WA-MBU, Tanganyika, Aug. 3 - The native boys who look after you on safari have one bad habit—before very long they give
you a nickname. A gentleman of generous proportions. may wind up as Bwana Big Belly, for instance, or a man who drinks too much may be
forever known as Bwana Ginny-Bottle. I started off swell. The ten-
tative. name was Bwana Simbambili — White Master Two Lions, a noble name if ever I heard one. But my secret vice came to light, and I gm now either Bwana Canga or Bwana {| Ndege. The first means Master Guinea Hen. The second means fous Master Bird. Neither are NN complimentary. : ! It is unfortunate that, even .

He will stop mining géld or chasing women to go bang away at birds. More divorces are had from birdshooters than from. any other kind of ornery husband. A birdshooter is generally no damn good, and is not to be trusted. < S00»
SO HERE I AM, in a welter of game with teeth and claws and fangs, *just waiting to be reaped. I might add herd that the average native employee on this safari will eat from 8 to 10 pounds of meat a day, because he doesn't get much red meat in the cities. It's up to the Bwana to keep the camp in:.chacula, and here is this one, who started off so bravely, out plinking guinea fowl and sand grouse when there is a 600-pound topi asleep behind every bush.
But the thing is that Africa is the paradise for the hirdshot, too, and breast of guinea fowl eats awful well. So does lesser bustard, and sand grouse, and there is a noble fowl called the Frankolin which is as big as a large chicken and which is pure white meat clean down to his

Parthia Purgator For Bachelor, 3
CHICK AND I discussed my position aboard. We agreed it was purgatory for a 32-year-old bachelor with absolutely no ties who is ready, willing and able to hold a soft hand and do some
innocent lying. ’ I have nothing against the old folks, * I respect old age and think it is wonderful for
f0 many to go to Europe instead of sitting out their few remaining years on front porches. But is it disrespectful to wish ardently for a few femmes in your own age group?
One older gentleman who frequents dhe bar daily and who can talk about any portion of the world you want to mention offers the only escape from complete boredom. He can for a couple of hours after the bar opens. Then he gets tongue-tied. He'll average 10 to 12 martinis before lunch. Then he disappears. At 5:30 he'll appear and have a before-dinner drink--15_to 20 martinis. Up to 10 martinis this gentlemad is a fine conversationalist. Unfortunately under his belt in a short time,

reason at all. I found that only 38 per cent of the time did the prospect give me the real reason for not buving. Why is that? Why will people—substantial people--per-fectly honest in every other
way, mislead and misrepresent facts to sales .people?’ That's something it took me a long time to understand. The late J.
