very excited and agitated manner.
Now, it happened that this town Of
the Goo-Goos had been visited some
months before by a white lady. She
wrote books; she had short hair; she
wore a collar and tie. She was. in fact.
the kind of lady that was called in En-
gland in these days the New Woman.
AS soon as she set foot in Goo Goo Land
she had started bossing the Chief
around, telling him how TO run his coun-
try, how to bring up his children and
a whole lot Of other things which she
thought he ought to know.
The Chief had not liked her very much
and was heartily glad to see her 20 home
again. But the Goo-Goo wives had ad-
mired The New Woman tremendously.
They had never seen husbands and
chiefs bossed ABOUT before by women,
having been all their own lives very
obedient to their men folk-as is the Gus
tom in Africa. They could not under
stand how the white woman worked this
"charm"-for magic Of some kind, they
thought, was the only thing that could
give a woman such powers.
At last they decided that it must be
in the strange hat she wore upon her
head. This was a mans felt hat with
a birds wing on 1.-THE wing Of a green
breasted martin. So wanting to be like
the new woman who bossed men around,
all the Goo-Goo wives had to have felt
hat with a martins wing in it. With
that, they thought, they would surely
be able to boss their husbands all they
wanted
This New Woman idea spread all over
the Goo-Goo country. And although the
Chief, terrified at the thought of having
thousands Of women in his land like the
English writer of books, gave orders that
it should stop, the New Women still met
and worked in secret. And the poor
martins were trapped and shot in great
quantities to provide wings for felt hats.
Now, the martins-this particular
kind was the green-breasted martin-are
first cousins to the swallows. And they
were now telling their troubles to those
swallows who were travelling with the
Doctor This was what all the commo-
ton was bout which John Dolittle saw
as he came back to his ship in the river.
When the Doctor got close to his ship
six of the swallows who were leaders came
to him and complained Of the treatment
that their cousins, the green-breasted mar
New-York tribune., 1922-12-24

tins, had suffered from the Goo-Goo bird
hunters.
If something isn't done about this
soon,' said the swallows, "the martins in
this country will be wiped right out. It's
a perfect shame"
"But couldn't they 90 somewhere else?'
asked the Doctor; ito some other land
where they wouldn't be hunted for hats?"
AT any other time they could" said
the swallows. "But this is the nesting
season for them. And the eggs and young
birds cannot be left to get cold"
"Humph What do these martins live
on?" asked the Doctor.
"Flies-the same as we do said the
swallows. Mosquitoes and small moths
are their fayorite food. But they will eat
any kind Of flying insects. Now, in this
country many Of the mother birds whose
husbands have been killed are dying Of
cramps, sitting on the nests afraid to
leave to get food, and with no mates to
bring it to them"
Dear me. This is a terrible thing
said the Doctor. "Terriblel I'll 20 back
and speak to the Chief about it,"
So the Doctor vent and asked the Chief
OF the Goo-Goos II he could not do some
thing to stop ihe killing Of these beautiful
birds.
The Chief said he would do what he
could and at once sent messengers
throughout the whole Of the Goo-Goo
country with orders that the killing Of
martins must stop.
Then John Dolittle came back TO his
ship and sent word to the martins Of what
he had done. The martins thanked
him, but asked that he remain here a
few days to see if the orders were car
ried out.
So for some days the Doctors ship
stayed in the river, after it had been
moved a little further from the town
to better anchorage. And John Doittle
now had time 20 travel up the stream by
canoe to explore and see the country.
When he got back the martins came to
him again, saying that the Chiefs orders
were not being obeyed, that two hundred
more birds had been killed secretly and
put on felt hats since he left.
For a monent the Doctor was silent,
frowning with furious indignation. Then
he asked that all the leaders Of both the
martins and the swallows meet him in the

New-York tribune., 1922-12-24

So the ships nose was turned toward
the land, and presently they entered the
mouth Of very lovely, wide stream. Pas
sing up the river few miles, between
thickly wooded banks, they finally brought
the ship to anchor close to a large town
of straw huts.
This town happened to be the chief
town Of the Goo-Goo people-that is,
the Gambia o-Goos-whose country
stretched for some miles inland from this
point.
The Doctor remarked at once that it was
a much pleasanter country than the one
they had left, and the town bigger and
better built than that Of the Jolliginki.
The swallows which we're flying along
over the Doctors ship turned also when
they saw the boat change its course, and,
entering the river, they settled down upon
the banks around the ship, causing great
astonishment to the Goo-Goo people. The
townsfolk were not accustomed at any
time to have many boats visit their har-
Dor, but to have one come accompanied
by great flock Of birds was, Of course,
something they had never seen before.
Stepping ashore, the Doctor was greet
ed by the Chief of the GoO-GoOs, who
asked him very politely if there was any
thing he could do for him. The Doctor
made the Chief a present Of an extra
pocketknife he had, and then explained
that he needed provisions for his ship
and that he had come into this port ex-
pecting to find at least some fruit.
The Chief Of the Goo-Go asked him
what foodstuffs, besides fruit, he would
like. And Gub-Gub smacked his lips
while the Doctor reeled off long list Of
eatables.
81 am not sure" said the Chief, "that
I shall be able to get you all these, but
will get you as many as l can"
He then gave orders to several servants
and messengers who stood about him in
attendance. And before long the Doctor
and his animals saw long line Of por-
ters going down to the ship with loads Of
food upon their heads.
"How wonderfully simplew said the
Doctor, watching them. Now, if had
stopped at Liverpool to have the ship pro-
visioned it would have taken me a week
to get that DONE"
John Dolittle then thanked the Chief
many times and asked him if there was
anything he could do for him in return.
But the Chief, who seemed no end pleased

and then fry them in the palm oil. That's
what is called palm oil chop, the common
est dish Of the black people. I'll show you
bow it's done"
THANK YOU said the Doctor. "It's
lucky we had you with us-without some
body who knew African cooking we might
taye starved"
"What did you say the other stuff was
eled," asked Jip; "the leafy business?"
eDried locusts," said the pushmi-pullyu.
9They are a kind of large grasshopper.
You fry them, too. They're quite good"
'POOh! Insects" snorted Jip.
Everybody was very hungry. And
alter the pushmi-pullyu had shown them
n the ships kitchen how to prepare palm
oil chop they all tried it and were sur
prised TO find that it was not half bad.
The gasshoppers, however, Of which
there was a great quantity in the hold,
they refused TO touch.
But after few days having TIE same
dish for breakfast, lunch and supper be-
gan to get tiresome. Now, for the first
part Of the Journey home the ship kept
sailing along northward, still in sight of
TIE coast of Africa. And one night, after
supper, when they were all feeling more
than usually tired of palm oil chop, the
Doctor said:
