Branch added that because Of
protests from employees at the

initiation fee would drive away
TOO many customers. the fee has
been cut 10 ST. Concerning other

Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COLEMAN.

Among the brown skinned people
of Pacific islands, the Maoris rank
high. They are the native folk of
New Zealand and are gifted with
good brains and strong bodies.
Their skins are of light brown color.
No one knows where the ancestors
of the Maoris lived before they
moved to the large islands south
of the Equator. 1t is possible that
they came from Samoa, Tahiti,
Tonga or the Cook Islands.
At any event, the Maoris were on
the New Zealand islands when white
men first arrived, and probably had
been there for hundreds of years.
They were living in the Stone Age.
Their tools and weapons were made
of wood, bone and stone. They had
no bows and arrows and knew moth
ing about the use of metal.
In the woods the people could
find no deer, because there were
none. Neither were there such ami
mails as bears, wolves, foxes or
squirrels.
oO 4di no 10 hllOWIl, I4lC Oilly AOu
footed furry animals in New Zealand
at that time were rats and dogs.
The dogs were of small size and
seem to have been brought in by
the early brown-skinned settlers.
The Maoris spent much of their
time fishing. They also dug in the
ground for roots and had gardens
in which they raised sweet potatoes.
Like millions of other natives of
Pacific lands, the Maoris did not
show affection by kissing. Instead
they pressed their noses together;

susceptible to it, because, when
travelling through the woods, they
become warm, and their pores are
opened by perspiration. To touch
the sumac at this time is to start
trouble, for the skin becomes very
irritated and the area poisoned be-
gins to swell. Water, of course, will
not help this condition, but alcohol
will relieve the burning and itching
at once.
As a rule, you will find the poison
sumac growing in wet and sWampy
grounds. 1t is an attractive shrub
with gray bark. The leaves are
compounded, their stalks bright red.
There are fewer leaflets on these
shrubs than on the innocent sumacs.
There are from to 13 leaflets,
green on both sides.
The blossoms are dull whitish-
green and grow in loose panicles
from the axis of the leaves-that
is one of the special points to re-
member. Naturally, you will find
the berries in the same spot in the
autumn, and this is an unusual po-
sition for the berries of shrub
to be. The fruit is a cluster of dull
grayish- -white-the birds are fond
of them and, of course, help the
plant to distribute her seed babies.
The good-sister sumacs have red
fruit clusters at the end of the
branches. Remember that by their
fruits, ye shall know them," and
thus will you avoid trouble.

picked the luscious big blueberries

he put in his mouth, because-well
because he knew that if he put
one in he would put two in, and if
he put two in he would put three in.
In short, he knew that if he once
tasted them he would fill his stom-
ach before he did his pail, and that
wasn't what he had come for. So
he shut his mouth firmly and
thought of that berry pie his mother
had promised him. Thinking Of
that pie and how good it would
taste made it easier not to think of
the berries themselves. And all the
time he picked as fast as ever he

How Did 1t Start?

Hartford: Why do they call them
tanks &c. H. B.
Answer: AS I explained recently,
the British Col. E. D. SWlnton who,
in 1915, drew the plans for the first
tank, originally used the name ma
chine gun destroyer" Later, when
work was begun on two experimental
machines, they were spoken OF, IN
shop orders and correspondence, as
water carriers for service in Meso-
potamia," to conceal the true nature
of the machines. The shorter term
"tank' was inevitable.
But the word tank itself has a
queer origin. 1t stems from the
Latin stagnum, "stagnant water.
Sir William MarriS, in the London
Spectator, says: The word tank
reached this country from India
where it signifies the Shiny and
pestiferous pools of Lower Bengal,
and there is no stagnation on earth
to surpass that of a Bengal tank.

Now it just happened that that
very day when Buster Bear and
Farmer Browns Boy had decided
to go berrying in the Old Pasture
some one else had decided to have
a look around up there. 1t was Old
Man Coyote. He had been promfs-
ing himself for some time that he
would run up there and see if he
couldn't SURPRISE old Jed Thumper,
the big gray Rabbit, who, you know,
was the father of little Mrs. Peter
Rabbit. But old Jed Thumper was
not to be surprised. Old Man Coy
ote hunted a long time before he
found old Jed Thumper, and then
he was safe in his brief castle. Hot,
tired and disappointed, Old Man
Coyote decided he must have a
drink and headed for the very
spring where Farmer Browns Boy
had planned to eat his lunch. He

I go home, thought he.
At last the pail was full, heaping

sat it down in the shade Of big
bush. Then he took the lunch he
had brought with him and started
for a certain spring of clear, bub-
bling, cold water, of which he knew
and which was not far away. When
he reached it he opened the paper
in which .his lunch was wrapped
and took out two thick sandwiches.
He put these on q fiat stone close
by the spring. Then he stretched
himself fiat on the ground and
plunged his hot face in the cool
water while he drank apd drank.

Now Old Man Coyote has very
wonderful nose, and 1t told him
right away that there was some
thing good to eat there. He first
made sure that Farmer Browns

to the fat stone where Farmer

Old Man Coyotes eyes glistened as
he saw the two thick sandwiches.

He had just lifted his dripping
face for breath when he heard a
noise back where he had left his
pail of berries. 1t sounded as if
some big animal was over there.
Now, there were some young cattle
which had been turned into the
Old Pasture to spend the summer
there, and right away he guessed
that one of them had wandered over
where he had left his berries.
"It would be just my luck to have
one of the stupid things upset that
pail of berries. I guess better go
look after them," he muttered. Now
Farmer Browns Boy believes in
doing a thing when you first think
of it. So he didn't wait to take so
much. as a bite of one of those
thick sandwiches, but started to
look after his precious berries. He
had worked too hard to get them
to take any chance, Of losing them.

of travelling by foot this summer,
which means that many will have
more time to learn to identify the
shrubs, trees and plants in our

known as "the three sumac sisters" "

1t was more matter of pressing
than of rubbing the noses.
To this day many Maoris follow
some Of their old customs, including
nose-pressing. They live in their
own villages and mix little with the
white settlers who make up 95 per
cent of New Zealands population.
Other Maoris live in Auckland
and wellington, the largest cities.
Some have taken part in the public
life of New Zealand, holding high
Offices.
Sheep, cattle and swine have been
brought to New Zealand by the
whites and the raising of livestock
is an important industry. Rabbits
have been brought in and have
