WITCH DOCTORS

In southern Rhodesa, Africa, where they have
while have winter, the natives recently called in witch
doctor to make it rain The whole country parched and
withered the result of long drought.
The witch doctor, of course, announced that human
sacrifice must be made to the rain god, Mwari.
No very ambitious to be the victim, the prm
tive city council turned their eyes to worthless neghbor
named Megedi. He notorious for his with his
neghbos wives, and the tribesmen gladly seized the
opportunity to get him out of the way.
WE'LL they tied him to stake and burned him alive.
Millions have persisted similarly in the black history of
supersttous humanity. BY coincidence, the victim had
been dead only few minutes when terrific storm blew
along Rain fell for days, torrents of it.
Coincidence, you know is the ally of superstition.
If you have been following the scientific news, you know
that Americans have been experimenting produce artificial
rain The most promising method is arpane scattering
electrified sand "roof of Clouds The theory is that
particle of moisture suspended in the tends to attract
The experimenters claim their first results

poets letter results with sand charged to 10000 volts
Marconi some months ago predicted that rain will
and go at your will in the future Then will become
lords and masters of creation this planet We will then
be able to obtain any amount of power without effort.
The distance between the human sacrifice the African
rain god and the scientists seeking to make artificial rain in
country is matter millions of years of brain develop
ment
The contrast emphasizes how in the primitive state
seeks the solution of his problems outside himself and how
in the civilized state he realizes that the solution from
within In other words have to work for everything

is "up to us, ourselves.
We still seek abis and blame troubles external

that the way to get out of hole is to climb out with

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The next place in Rainbow Land
where the Twins went with Mis-

the GOGGLES lived. x
The GOGGLES were not beautiful.
They were far from it. Indeed they
were ugly, for their eyes stuck out
like the lamps on an automobile and
it gave them the appearance of in
quisitive beetles standing on their
hind legs.
"How do you do?" said Googly,
stepping up and tipping his hat.
"We've been expecting you for five
hours and forty minutes and six
teen seconds. You are late"
"Why!" exclaimed Nancy. How
did you know we were coming?"
"Never ask Googly how he
knows anything" said the Googly
Importantly. "These eyes of ours
were not made for nothing. Some
people have necks that stretch. 9th
ers have ears that stretch (when
there are secrets to be heard), but
we have eyes that stretch. Look"
And before the Twins could SO
much as wink, hadn't the Googly
shot his great eyes up like sky
rockets and brought them down
again! "A ha! l knew it," he cried

"Oh yes. yes!" cried Nick. please

"H'm! Just wait!" said the Googly
shooting up his eyes again. Santa
Claus is painting word on an ex-
press wagon. It says Nick. And
Mrs. Claus is making doll dress.
Now she's pinning paper on it. It

brought his eyes down again.
