Pittsburgh: What is the rule for
pronouncing AMEN? G. j. S.
Answer-In singing it should al
ways be pronounced AH-MEN. 9th
erwise it is customarily, but not
invariably, pronounced AY-MEN.
Bridgeport: Please settle a dis
pute. Is the expression "all told"
q shortened form Of "all totaled"?
B. H.
Answer-No. The primary mean
ing of the word tell" is ito count"
Hence, AL told" simply means with
all included or counted"
Shores: Is there any authority
for pronouncing YEAST as east?
E. w.
Answer-The pronunciation least"
Is dialectal. The ~" should be
sounded.
Patricksburg: I contend there is
no such word as "sideburns" and
that the proper word is "burnsides, j"
from the side whiskers worn by
Gen. A. E. Burnside. o. D. F..
Answer-You have given the cor
rect origin. But, because the "side"

the side of the face, the word was

RAT KANGAROO
/pOfor0us fr;d1ot,yI,,c)

(Potorous tridactylus).
One good inspection of this small
animal Of Australia reveals its re-
semlance to the famous kangaroo.
Once this small beast was common
in the damp and swampy brushes of
coastal New South Wales, Victoria
and South Australia. Now it is so
scarce as to be considered rare on
the mainland. But there are some in
Tasmania. During the early days it
was quite common for thee rat kan
garoos to be captured as pets or
for museums. Not since 1918 has a
specimen been sent in.
The fox is responsible for the
scarcity of the rat kangaroos. Be-
fore he took over the job, the set
tiers had to resort to all kinds Of
measures to protect their crops and
hay stacks. Now the question Is to
provide sanctuary or reserve where
these animals may find enough pro-
lection to survive.
The rat kangaroo Is believed to
have adopted the hopping action to
avoid ancestral neighbors during the

dim past. Today the problem with
them is to move rapidly among the
rocks and tussocks of grass in er-
ratio leaps and bounds to confuse
the birds and beasts Of prey that are
eager to feast upon them.
The long tail must have evolved
along with the hopping ability, as it
acts as balancer or tripod when
the animal is in need of such as
sistance. 1t is also used when NOV
ing the body forward as it goes
about grazing. The animal loves to
nip off herbage, grinding it's food
much in the fashion followed by
cattle and sheep.
During the day rat kangaroos lie
in grass nests which are arranged
in shallow excavations or in small
burrows Until they are confident
they must depend upon their hop
ping ability, they remain in resi-
dence, then make swift dash for
an empty log or cave nearby.
At night their courage is in full
evidence. They do not fear man,
visiting his camp and helping them
selves. They feed on grasses, tu-
bers and fungi. Men love to watch
them in the moonlight as they sniff
food.
In furnishing their home with
grass they make a neat little bun
die, then fold their prehensile tail
tip about it and hop off to the build
ing site.
The only known mode of express
sion is slight growl from the male.
These fellows are said to be quite
pugnaciouS among themselves. In
captivity they get along nicely and
take some interest in the youngster
in its mothers pouch.
The sense of hearing is very keen;
the slightest noise will disturb them.
The baby can reach safety in the
pouch in the shortest time. imag-
Unable. 1t is never far from its
mother during the time 1t is trying
to learn the ways of the world
about it. After it has become self
sustaining its mother closes the
door Of the nursery. From now on
it must find cozy little hide-out
of its own and is quite independent
of parental advice.

moving pictures of Negro troops
from regular neWsreels and the
inclusion of them in the relseases
of a company known as All

The question, addressed to Gen
eral Alexander d. Surles by the

News has written the NAACP
saying:
"All American News has no
cameramen of its own in war
theaters. For its coverage of such
war theaters it relies completely
and solely upon socalled official
service film made by Signal Corps,
Navy and Marine Corps photo
graphers. All Americans New
York representative has told me
In so many words that OF such
film they are interested only in
film showing Negro servicemen
in action"
