WHERE WOMEN WORK THE

All the roads of this country arc kept
up by the natives under the direction
OF their chiefs, although back of the
chiefs are the British officials. who work
through them. Every person IN the
country, male and female, is subject to-
one months work during the year as a
road tax. We think 1t heavy burden
n We have to pay for one days work
on the roads but here every ono is sup
posed to work a whole month. Zach
chief Is responsible Tor the roads Of his
territory, and he calls upon every
householder for the requisite amount OF
labor. The householder as n rule scos
that the most of the work is done by
the women This found to be the
case all the way from 1ntebbe to KAN
