Uncle Rays Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

Far back in the history of Aus
tralia, the British settlers decided,
This is going to be a white mans
country"
Laws were made to bar members
of the brown, black and yellow races
from entering the island continent.
This meant, for one thing, that
Japanese were not to settle inside
the borders of Australia. Neither
could the Malays, Chinese or
Negroes.
Australia. however. is not entirely
white mans country" In the
same way that Indians lived on our
own continent, when 1t was dis
covered, there were dark skinned
natives in Australia when the whites
arrived. They are known as black
fellows"
The blackfellows have dark brown
or blackish skins. Most of them
make their living by hunting and
fishing. Among the animals which
they kill for food are lizards, snakes
and kangaroos.
The weapons of the blackfelows
include spears. hatchets, clubs and
boomerangs. The last of these is
one of the worlds interesting weap-
ons. 1t will make a curving path
when thrown, and often will come
back to the spot from which 1t
started its journey.
Among the queer customs OF
blackfellows is the one in which
they sprinkle ants" This is done
to young fellows who wish to take
their place as men in the tribe. II

Purple martins are distributed
over temperate North America, with
the exception of the Pacific Coast
district. The winters are spent in
Florida, Southern Texas and the
plateau of Mexico to Venezuela and
Brazil Once in a while, martins
have been seen in Bermuda and the
British Isles.
1t is said that most of the small
birds migrate at night, resting and
feeding in the daylight hours. This
is not true of the swallow tribe.
They travel only in the daytime. At
night, they stop and rest.

Farmer Browns Boy had worked so
hard to pick.
"Now if Farmer Browns Boy will

popping out with excitement. He
flew over to the spring to see what
Farmer Browns Boy was doing, and
he got there just in time to see
Farmer Browns Boy starting back
to look after his pail of berries, for
he had heard Buster Bear and
thought it was one of the young
cattle living in the Old Pasture.
And Sammy saw something more.
He saw Old Man Coyote steal the two
thick sandwiches Farmer Browns
Boy meant to eat for his lunch,
but had left beside the spring while
he went back to look after his

Pasture. He knew just as well as
Buster did that that was no place
for a bear to be who wanted to keep
out of sight. So he made up his
mind right away that just as likely
as not something exciting would
happen in the Old Pasture if Buster
really did go there. He was up as
early as Buster that morning and
on the watch. He saw Buster steal
out of the Green Forest with the
coming of the first Cheerful Little
Sunbeams to the Green Meadows
Taking care not to be seen and not
to make q sound, Sammy followed
Buster. When he had seen Buster
fairly at work greedily filling his
stomach with berries Sammy flew
around to various parts of the Old
Pasture to get himself some break
fast, and at the same time to see
who else might be there. OF course,

and so warned all within hearing.
But this time he kept his tongue
still and just chuckled to himself.
1t was better than he had dared
hope it would be. Here was Buster
Bear and Farmer Browns Boy both
in the Old Pasture after berries.
Sammy felt sure that they must
meet and then-well, Sammy had
seen them meet once before in the
Green Forest, and nothing would
please him more than to see them
meet again
So Sammy hung around where
he could see all that went on. He
saw Farmer Browns Boy hide his
pail of berries under a bush and
go to the spring to eat his lunch.
He saw Buster Bear find the pail
of berries and tip 1t over. He

kinfolk and love to nest in colonies.
That is the reason why martin
apartments" have been so successful.
Martins are among the most ben
eficial birds we have. Their eager
seeking of boll-weevils, clover-leaf
weevils, bugs. beetles, flies and the
myriads of tiny insects of the air,
as well as the noisy locusts, puts us
in debt to these friendly neighbors.
This martin is about 8 inches
long. The plumage is steel blue
a uniform that has such a beau
tiful glossy finish that it resembles
metal. The wings and middle wing
coverts are glossy black; the large
beautiful eyes are brown. The stout
bill is triangular and the mouth is
capacious. You do not wonder that
the martins travel so swiftly when
you notice how extremely long their
wings are. Since most of their time
is spent in the air, their legs are
short, rather wobbly for walking,
but very good for perching. A mar
tin always has a forked tail, never
rounded or graduated one, and
there are always IL feathers In it,
longer than the others.

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week

We have borrowed the word d.
VORCEE from the French. In that
language it means "a divorced
woman" But, in American usage,
divorce may properly designate a
divorced person of either sex.
What makes divorce surprise
word is its pronunciation. The
average person will say duh
VORE-see," but have never seen
q dictionary that sanctions the
second-syllable accent. All agree
that the accent should fall only on
the third syllable, thus:
First choice UNITED States:
di-vore- SEE.
Second choice (French):
dee-vore-SAY.

Things we're getting more exciting
than Sammy had even dreamed of,
and he had all he could do to keep
from screaming right out. But he
didn't, for that would have spoiled
everything. He just shut his bill
as tight as ever he could and hur-
ried back where he could see Buster
Bear. He got there just in time to
see greedy Buster with his head in
the big tin pail gobbling up the last
of the berries. At that very minute
Farmer Browns Boy stepped on a
dead stick and it snapped. Buster
Bear heard it and threw up his
head so suddenly that the pail came
with it, and somehow the handle
of the pail dropped back over Bus
ter's head and caught behind his
ears. Then things happened so fast
that for once in his life Sammy had
his fill of excitement. Yes, sir,
Sammy had his fill for once.

Sammy Jay dearly loves excite

exciting going on anywhere in the
Green Forest or the Old Orchard
or on the Green Meadows you are
almost sure to find Sammy Jay
there. Somehow he seems to know
when things are going to happen,
and so marriages to be around. No
doubt it is largely due to his sharp
ness, for there are no two ways
about 1t, Sammy Jay is sharp. His
worst enemy will have to grant that.
And being sharp, he keeps so well
posted he can foresee trouble ahead
for them, and so be on hand when
they get into it.

The number of blackfellows is not

between $4,000 and $4,000. The
number of white people in Australia
is about 100000
Blackfellows make up less than
! per cent of the population. Out
of every thousand persons, about
$50 are whites.
Visitors to Australia may come

blackfellow. The dark-skinned ma
tives sometimes do little work for
the whites, but in general they
spend their time in inland places
where there are very few whites.
The largest cities and towns Of
Australia are on the southern and

News From Dogdom
Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest
In Washington and Vicinity
By X. r. Tavnf0n.

Dogs play an increasingly impor-
tant part in this country's life. In
addition to the $4,000 called for by
the armed forces for defense train
ing, countless others are being en-
listed by the civilian population for
home defense. Kennels all over
the country are reporting increased
demand for both grown dogs and
puppies by members of the armed
forces. Many of them frankly give
as their explanation for buying a
dog at this time the need for leav-
ing a protector at home for their
wives and children. More than one
woman has found in these days
of social upeaval that dog in her
car was a more potent safeguard
than a gun.
Many have found that while the
Army specifies dogs of a certain
size and weight for defense duty,
even small dog may make a
valiant defender. Burglars in State
jails testify to the yeoman service
done by many members of the toy
breeds. They say that a small dog
is more to be feared than many a
large one because the small dog
Is often more alert to give the
alarm and is so quick that it can
not be readily put out of the way
or silenced.
In addition to their service as
home guards, dogs perform another
function to perfection. They are

Among the outstanding exhibits
at last years Silver Spring Hobby
Show was a display of wooo carving
by Carl Stodder and G. M. Crockett.
A recent visit to Mr.. Stodder's home
revealed the reasons for their good
work.
Mr.. Stodder, who is an elderly
man, has worked with wood as a
hobby all his life. He learned to use
woodworking tools while just boy
by attending what is believed to have
been the first vocational class in the
country. Through the years he has
found relaxation in such work.
About two or three years ago he be-
gan to mechanic his shop, having
used only hand tools until then.
Now he has in his basement shop
a fine collection of woodworking
machine tools.
Most of his work has been on fur
niture with some models included.
He has made few pieces with
carved inlays, but until recently had
never tried carving "in the round"
as straight figure carving is called.
About the time Mr.. Stodder began
to install machinery in his shop Mr..

Pass EaSL
When East opened the three Of
diamonds the declarer surveyed the
situation. He could see eight certain
tricks and reasoned that IN order to
make her diamond overcan East
should have either six diamonds or
five diamonds and the ace OF hearts,
otherwise her hand did not warrant
a bid. If she had six diamonds then
west could have only one, since he
and the dummy together held six.
He therefore figured that he could
take the initial diamond lead with
his king and run five clubs. Then
he would throw East In with the
ace of hearts and allow her to make
the ace of diamonds and win the
next diamond lead with his JACK.
The ace and king OF spaces ana tne
king of hearts would make his
necessary three odd In no trump.
When he led small heart East
plaved low and up popped West with
the ace. returned the four OF dla-
monds through declarer's jack, thus
allowing East to make four diamonds
which with the ace Of hearts set the
contract one trick. North's error OF
Judgment was in placing the heart
ace in East's hand which he tnougnt
was necessary to enable her to make
her diamond bid. If she hao held
six diamonds West could never have
gotten in to lead one, and 1t would
not then matter who held the ace
of hearts North could have saved
himself and made the contract by
giving away the first diamond trick
as a safety play. The trouble was
that he guessed wrong.
At all the other tables except one
the contract rested at two no trump.
One North bid and made three by
guessing the safety play the right
way, allowing West to hold the first
diamond with the queen. Then his
king and jack were good for one
trick. East and West made only
two diamonds and either two hearts
or one heart and one spade. The
difference between winning and
losing that one board by the play OF
single card was sufficient to enable
the correct safety play guesser to
win the duplicate match.
