Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON Coleman

There is an expression, "As dead
as the dodo bird"
That is a dead way to be, since
the whole race of true dodoes seems
TO be gone. A few hundred years
ago these birds lived on Madagascar
They did not know how to fly and
were killed off after white men
reached the island.
Special dangers later came to
certain birds of the Samoan islands.
These birds are distant cousins of
the dodo. and sometimes are called
little dodoes."
The little dodoes had the habit of
making their nests on the ground.
That was very we'll so long as there
were no dangerous animals in their
island homes.
White visitors, however, put pigs
on the Samoan islands and some of
the pigs ran wild They were willing
to eat almost anything, including
little dodoes. The whites also
brought domestic cats which looked
for food in the jungles.
Next came a great step forward
IN the life of these birds. The smart
little dodoes decided to make their
nests in trees, or at least some Of
them did. Those which took to the
trees were able to escape from the
pigs and cats and did not lose their
young to such enemies.
So we still find little dodoes on the
Samoan islands in the Pacific Ocean.
They also have the name of tooth
billed pigeons" In the lower half of
the bill, near the end, is part
which looks as though it had teeth

goes. The second roll filings the
mollusk in another direction; this
causes great confusion and intense
anxiety. The radula works fast as
the proboscis is lifted, When pos
sible, the conch leaps over obstacles
turns corners and keeps leaping
With but one desire and all effort
made to accomplish it, the conch
takes ore leap that finally drops
him into the sea.
Conchs live among the coral rocks
and r,ile ali lesser neighbors by
fear aIoue. The massive shell seems
unWieldlv but the builder manages
to handle it expertly and to carry
it without inconvenience When 60
ing about, the muscular body thrusts
out the arching foot. which extends
forward tl4umbike process, the
foot itsa.f, with a creeping disk about
the size OF a large thumbnail. 1t
is this foot that is responsible for
the strange gait of the conch. Since
this fellow is rather impulsive, it
does not move sedately along, but
jumps, striking the sharp claw into
the sand and Topping over. A
frightened conch is pitiful in its
anguish to move fast, taking time
to make a quick turn to escape
capture.
This is the shell that is so often
mistaken for the queen conch, whose
shell Is used for hanging baskets,
dinner norns and circling flower
beds. The shell of the fighting
conch is a handsome addition to
your shell collection
Conchs are intelligent, active mol
lusks. They keep their territory
free from offensive dead matter
and are known as carrion-feeders.
They are found on reefs in tropical
seas, and the shells are used in the
manufacture of porcelain and lime,
and i'll caneo-cutting. In some
places the conch is used for food.

unpleasant for their neighbors.
They didn't seem to care the least

bors thought.

Can vcu imagine this conch being
a fighter? And would you ever
dream of it as a "molluscan buzz
zard"? Well he is fighter, and a
molluscan b,,zzard, too, and this is
one of The many reasons why no
chance 81 ould be overlooked to study
the lives of some of our native
sheIlmskers.
Fighting conchs are from to 4
inches ione when fullgroWn. They
are common on our Florida coasts
and you cannot fail to identify them
at once, because the spire is tapering
and the w,lorls sculptured with fine
parallel revolving grooves, the upper
margin cf each whorl set with sharp
knobs. There is a notch in the
broad cute lip near the tapering
base of the shell for the accom-
modatioa of the head. The outside
color OF the shell is pale brown,
clouded with deeper shade in

of the bill and are not true teeth
like those of furry animals.
The Samoan group contains four
main islands. Besides those there
are a number of small islands.
Samoan natives have light-brown
skins. They welcomed the whites to
their islands and the pigs as we'll
The pigs supply them with pork, a
food they greatly enjoy.
The two largest of the Samoan
islands are under control of New
Zealand. The third largest belongs
to the United States; it contains the
best harbor in the region-Pago
Pago. The United States also owns
several of the smaller islands.
Although the Samoans enjoy pork,
they have strange custom about it.
Native rules do not allow them to
set pork on the table unless a guest
Is present.
Sometimes a family wants to eat
pork but has no guest. In that case
q messenger is sent out to look for
guest. The first man seen, even
though stranger, may be asked to
help eat a pig.
There are many kinds Of bread
fruit trees on the island, likewise is
kinds of coconut palms. From the
coconuts the Sanoans take the
meat" and dry it. Under the name
Of "copra," the dried coconut meat
is exported to foreign lands.

Names in the News

Brig. Gen. JAMES H. DOO-
lATTLE, who commanded the cele-
bfated fight that made Toxic so

most contradictory surname in the
news. I say seems to be" for the
reason that the name Doolittle has
no connection whatever with the
English words "do little" The name
IS simply an Americanized variation
OF the proud French name DE
L'HOTEL, meaning "of the hotel"
and pronounced: duh loe-TELL.
KUPANG, also spelled Koepang,

the second syllable with bang, fang.
The "a" is "ah" as in father. Say:

same thing to others. He even went
so far as to visit their homes and
threaten to drive them out as he
had driven SKINNER the Swallow
out of his home. He invited them
to come on and fight. In fact, he
seemed to be always looking for a
fight just for the love of fighting.
His very boldness made the 9TH
ers hesitate. Most of them are
peace-loving anyway, and all they
asked was to be let alone. But
Bully wouldn't do this. 1t began
to look very much as If he had
made up his mind to have the whole
of the Old Orchard for himself and

in the sauciest way. 1t had been
resolved by the neighborhood to
show Bully and his wife that they
were not wanted in the Old Or
chard.
But soon it was very clear that
the Old Orchard suited them just
the same. Every day they flew
over to Farmer Browns henyard
to help themselves to the grain

SO bold about 1t that; their neigh
bors of the Old orchard didn't know
what to make of it. 1t soon be-

1t did begin to seem so after a
time. Mrs. Bully was very much
occupied with her housekeeping, but
Bully had nothing particular to do,
and you know this is always a bad
state of affairs. 1t is very apt to
lead to mischief. Bully began to
go about all thorugh the Old Or

pick a quarrel with some one. 1t

he they were. He wasn't afraid of
anybody. One morning, while We'll

at all like the neat little nest that
Skinner had had in that same hol-
low of the old apple tree. But it
seemed to suit them perfectly. Mrs.
Bully fused over it a great deal
as if it were really something fine.
If they noticed that none of thier
neighbors in the Old Orchard ever
spoke to them or even seemed to
see them when they met they made
no sign. 1t didn't seem to bother
them the least little bit.
And no one ever did take any
notice of them. 1t had been agreed
not to. If Welcome Robin happened
to meet Bully he passed with his
head high, and never so much as
glanced at him. If Jenny Wren

eight-hour shift. Fifteen thousand men and women are working. many of them seven days a week, and the change from peace time to war time production is being accom- plished rather easily, though not without considerable dislocations in jobs and business.
 Certain dies and tools were changed, certain men who were skilled in some trades have had to learn other skills in the trade schools and war plants. Even so there are some workers out of jobs not because their services are not needed somewhere but be- cause, for the moment, there are no jobs requiring their special tai ents. But that situation is being iroued out rapidly.
 And in the meantime these workers are enjoying the highest wages they ever have known, and they are spending their extra money liberally in the purchase oi War Bonds, in taxes and for mer- chandise.

One of them, who was drawing about $l 900 a year as a teacher, is now taking down S64 weekly in a war industry. City schools, where salaries axe much higher than in the country. have not been so greatly affected by war work.

IFS CITIZENS DON'T TALK MUCH A

But the women, as all elements of the population. are taking the war situation in their stride. Many of them are in the factories where they have been found more adept at handling precision instruments than men. On their days off they doff their slacks and shop.
 Middletowners stiIl sit around the drug stores and the corner groceries and there thrash out the problems of state as they always have dcne. They are poignantly interested in what is going on be- cause nearly everyone of them has A son, or some other relative, in the services of the United States. and they feel deeply the impacts of the war upon their own lives.
 They have organized their air wardens and auxiliary f1remen and have done all the other things they have been asked to do for defense, but they have no real belief the midlandS ever will be actually attacked by enemy bomberS.
 This certainty that bombs will not fall here may be behind the lack of emotion about the war most citizens of "Middletown" show. But this lack of motion does NOT indicate complacency.
