LUTHY & CO., INC,, 3051 Camp New Orleang, Lowistana, places following a hunting accident while winding up a collection trip of Australian birds, anfmals and reptiles for American zoos, After an enforced sojourn on my back for five months, during which I was twice threatened w th amputation, I left the hospital and after a short stay with friends in Murwillumiah I rode out to my base with my bum leg in plaster and two crutches strapped on my sadd.e.

I worked with Gray for five years, oo and of, and we work: a thru some of the touchst places in tralia, frem Melbourne 1 p to the York Pen nsula, where there wee nothing but ‘biacks’, ‘Chinks’ and a few ‘whites’—120 in the shade, and mosquitoes, fever and bad businese—but we got back to Sy.tuer »m'lng. 1 found Gray the greatest optim «ft 1 ever aw and he eonverted m Aoyvwat 1 am giad he is st'll in the land of tie living, as reported to ‘Hill’ by his son in Los Angeles, ond some duy, may! we will meet «again. I was in Europe last inter and spring. I brought over a fine jair of chimpanzees, great Indian birds, pythons, cobras, Bronx Purk and other 200s, African parrots, ete.—some for the the chimps going to the Nv«tonal Research Council, Washington, D. C. The med. business is a sideline with me of ate, and a svre meal ticket for the man who knows his Dusiness, so while contemplating another trip abroad I am telling the good folks of Baltimore to take care of their health and to use Vito-Lax, and many of them do. Ive been seven weeks 0B one corner and business is good and no kicks except from my friendly colleague, Howard Sloman, the veteran worker of Baltimore, who sells almost anything from needies to arplanes. Harvey, the oil man, with ‘Rattle snake Bill’, is limbering up stiff joints on the cerner of Baltimore and Frederick streets, Do~ Besworth was seen and heard with his accordion —singing about the scarcity of a well-known fruit om a corner on Harrison street, and judging by the big red auto sats acree with Doc. Cap Joyce (they cal! him “Cap” because he wears one) was getting the business with Doc Sloman Christmas Eve on a corner on Howard street with pens and gyroscope tops. Sloman’s scient fe spiel on tops is truly interesting and it sure lands sales. Doe Joe Steele is still on the man—as funny as ever, but he has given up «igcarets and has taken op ‘terbaccer’ (says he gets more ‘kick’ out of it, oS brand he chews). especially the aged ay is here with huttons This bor knows buttons—believe me—and he gets the mazuma when it's around. &pd has had a slight indisposition, tot fs now etting along pretty well, It's been a fair Christmas for all the boys here, and I hee t was eqigily as good for the boys elsewhere.” Along with his handling of stamps, Frank H Trafton has been a great aid in the forming of e stump “¥ ers’ protective association and he ports it suceess, He writes: ‘I was talkoe with a stree scalesman the oth: ty the question of a streetmen’s orgar up.
