CHRISTMAS FUN

At Yuletide party for her
- boy and girl, Mrs. White
divided the ten children present
into five teams of two each, and
set them hunting for a hidden
"Santa's pack" The rules were
that the first child to solve the
clues got one point, the second 2,
and so on, and the score of each
team was found by adding to-
gether the points obtained by
each member. The team with the
lowest score got first pick from
the pack, the team with second
lowest score got second pick,
and so on.
The Sherlocks won with a
total of 6, the Nick Carriers with
8, the G-Men with 10, and the
Scotland Yards with Is. That
being SO, in what order did the
members of the fifth team, the

IN NTHECALENDAR

In each normal year, January
comes one day later than in the
former year. For example, Jam
uary 1, 1947 fell on Wednesday,
and January l, 1948 is a Thurs
day. But when there is a Leap
Year, as in 1948, the difference
between the New Years Days is,
of course, two days, so that Jam
uary 1, 1949, will be a Saturday.
Bearing in mind that century
years are Leap Years only if the
first two figures are divisible by
four (Which is to say, 1000 will
be a leap year but 21O0 will not),
how long before the first day of
century is a Sunday?

There have been problems in
which only a single figure in the
quotient was given, and from
which the entire problem was
reconstructed. In this case, a
number of additional indica-
tions are given, such as x and Y,
which letters stand for figures.
In the quotient there is indi-
Gated only one digit, namely z.
From these clues it ought to
be easy to reconstruct the en-
tire problem.
Note that the divisor, when
multiplied by 7 equals only. three
figures, therefore, the first digit
in the divisor can only be l. If
it were 2, seven times 2 would
give an additional figure in the
third line. Knowing that the
first figure in the divisor is l
and that the second line shows
three ones in succession, it is
simple to find the first digit in
the quotient, and so on.

Female Army Recalled
U.N.Appearanceo Of
Natives Of Togo|and

Along Africa's Gulf of Guinea
coast, a common language rather
than O common government distin-
guishes the 100000 tribesmen known
as Ewes. Selected chiefs of Eve
speaking tribes of Togoland were in
vited to appear before the United
Nations Trusteeship Council to op-
pose continued partition Of that
former German colony between
France and Great Britain.
The tribes speaking the Eve
pronounced ay-va) language and
dialects live largely in Southern
Togoland, says the National Geo.
graphic Society. They reach west
ward in the Gold Coast colony to
the Volta River and eastward across
French Dahomey to the Ogun River
of Western Nigeria.
For centuries, the native Kings of
Dahomey maintained female troops.
Throughout the 10th century, armed
with blunderbusses and razor-sharp
knives, these women soldiers per-
formed feats of endurance and fe-
rocity in combat that made them
known to Europe as the Dahoman
Amazons. The Ewes called them
the Kings Wives" Their final COM
bat appearance was made against
French colonizing troops from 1894
to 1898.
Speech Is Preventive.
The Eve language was derived
from the primitive Western Sudan
speech before Bantu influences set
in. Twi-fantes to the west and
Yorubas to the east Of the Ewes were
similarly organized language groups.
Ashanti, Benin and Yoruba, in ad-
dition to Dahomey, are examples OF
well-organized native states of the
Upper Guinea coast.
Kings for such states were elected
by and from tribal chiefs. They
consulted cabinets" of selected
chiefs in many matters affecting the
people. The Ewes are classed as
true Negroes, though they are
lighter skinned and rounder headed
than the most representative Negro
types.
Holding most of the Ewes close to
the coast are the lowlands Of rich,
sandy soil where coconuts, cacao.
coffee, tobacco, rice and corn are
easily grown. Along their coast
slave traders once gathered their
cargoes, sometimes finding native
chiefs ready to barter lives for rum
and trinkets.
Annexed in 1884.
Germany annexed Togoland in
1884, a big year of empire expansion
in which the Reich also acquired
Northeastern New Guinea and the
Bismarck Archipelago. In August,
1914, the Maine-size colony was sur
rendered to French and British
forces.
