Foot ball for most men who play
it, that is to say, the grill and grind

Games against intercollegiate rivals

coaches, regular games amount prac-

those games involve sheer labor.

ploy several additional nurses, one to
be stationed at the new center and
the others to carry on certain follow

The last annual report OF the

WHY ISLAND DOGS
ARE CALLED ''MAOLA''

LONDON. @-Most of the dogs in
the Solomon Islands are called Maola
If the visitor calls out 'Maola" he
may expect to be !. a second Pied
Piper. ALI the dogs within earshot
will follow him.
"Why?" one asked R. F. Thomson,
English acting deputy commissioner
OF the western Pacific, who is visit
ing in London.
Because Maola means stomachache,
and the Solomon natives have the
curious belief that if they are suffer-
ing from an ailment they can get rid
of it by calling their dogs the name
of the illness. Hence, most of the
dogs bear the name Maola. Some
few are called Tohi Maola, which
means headache, and others Lua
Maloda, which means pain in the
neck.
